At the Baltimore Sun Archives at the Pratt's Library

Scott Scasick and I went to the Pratt Library's Baltimore Sun archives on Thursday morning to look at the old articles on the micro film. It was quite an experience, and took a lot of time. I found everything, but one article, that i was looking for. Scott had some problems with his reseach. For me it was easy, because a day before I went to the Maryland's room on the second floor and pulled EXACT information about the articles with date and issue number.
However, during my next History of Baltimore class at the University of Baltimore I found out that most of the Baltimore Sun's old articles are online at the Langsdale Library's web-page. How convienient!!!!!!
All you need to do is go online and find it!! It even highlights the "seach words" in the text.
I did not try it yet for my topic, but I will do so as soon as I finish this.
Happy Thanksgiveing everyone!!!!!!!!!!

On the way to Maryland's room at The Pratt's Library

Scott Scasick and I we went together to the Pratt's library both las wednesday and Thursday mornings to look for some information about our topics. Honestly, if it was not for Scott and his determination I would have waited until the last minute.
It was an excelent experience, I should say. I spend Wednesday morning at the Maryland room looking at the old documents, pamphlets and old magazines articles.
I found less information than I expected, but it made me look for it even more.
However, I found what I was looking for. It was an article that provided the reasons for why the Lithuanian Hall was built, when it was built and who the architect was.
I will upload the copies of my foundings within the next week and write about it more.
