It seems like all of the information that they kept is very important and it is a shame that more people don't know about them. First of all, I really liked the archives. It was really interesting to me and I loved the stories that he told. I also really liked seeing the things that were back in the special collections. Even though the bird was kind of gross, I thought that it was really neat to see the same bird that was in the painting on the wall. It still looked a lot like the painting. I also liked the letters from Darwin. I didn't think that the Field Museum would have information like this.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184344639967458510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580451846803156635.post-27629498850103768552007-01-24T00:38:00.000-08:002007-01-24T00:38:00.000-08:00I love hearing stories like Armand's about how lib...I love hearing stories like Armand's about how librarians and archivists take initiative to organize collections because it was not previously done. He really seemed to enjoy the materials he continuously discovers in the Archives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580451846803156635.post-62604737426814920642007-01-22T16:55:00.000-08:002007-01-22T16:55:00.000-08:00What I noticed not only about this archive, but ab...What I noticed not only about this archive, but about all archives in general is that no definite system of organization exists for these type of collections. Since items in arhives cannot really be classified by the dewey decimal system or the Library of Congress, archivists just seem to devise their own ways of organizing the collection.<br />The photo archive was also interesting to hear about because I came to know where all the pictures in textbooks, articles, encyclopedias, and other reference materials come from.Hasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320648109182473562noreply@blogger.com
