Today it was back into the basement and into the cataloging world. I have been working on cataloging a box of items that have recently been donated to the museum. It is always interesting to read through the deed of gift and find out some background information on the items. At first glance, the box did not appear to be filled with anything special - some pencils, match books, newspaper clippings etc. Upon further research Michelle and I discovered more than we had anticipated from this simple box of personal belongings. Ever heard of Joseph E. Thiriot Elementary School? Or Bill "Wildcat" Morris Rebel Park? Turns out we were cataloging some of their personal items that were donated by their families. I know it's nothing 'celebrity-status' around here but it is a fun find to who some of these items belong to.
Is this match book awesome or what?
