Of Research Materials 2Nd Edition (2015)

An Index of Research Materials 2nd Edition (2015)

To [Still] Be Completed… Introduction

This list was conceived when I was scanning all of the museum’s artifact sheets into the museum computer, making me the first and probably last person to ever run through the entire catalogue. The unparalleled opportunity to learn what the museum’s collection holds gave me the the idea to create a handy index of various resources useful for genealogical and other local history projects which are at the immediate disposal of the Birdtail Country Museum. This list is not complete, nor has it even been proofread since I ran out of time. However, it does contain everything I encountered and thought relevant in the catalogue, and so can still be of use; this is not say that it couldn’t use some work, even in its categories. Though some items herein have more than one copy in the collection, usually only one artifact number has been added for each of them for expediency’s sake; the idea is not about keeping an accurate record so much as about knowing what the Museum has available. Furthermore, some indexed items are not artifacts and so have never been catalogued. I didn’t try to locate the bulk of the items listed. August 2014

Introduction to Second Edition

This list is still not complete, and could especially use the locations of these materials. As usual, I didn't properly calculate the amount of time allocated to the project; nevertheless, I have made some additions to the Museum’s research materials list. One of my concerns last year was the make-up of my categories, and I have somewhat attempted to address that this year. Something I missed this year was including the authors of articles in the Foxwarren Historical Society Journal.

For one, I've added sections on specific localities around Birtle, and duplicated a number of records which fit both into the extant categories and the newer geographical categories. However, some items which probably should be in more than one category probably aren’t. Other new categories include one for scrapbooks and the Miscellaneous Research Scraps sections.

The Miscellaneous Research Scraps are divided into three, one for people, one for places, and one for artifacts. The idea is that research done on certain individuals and localities is often lost to anyone doing the same research later, especially if it's in response to a specific inquiry. The idea is that any research/correspondence or whatever pertaining to a specific person, place, or artifact can be added to an existing file on him/her/it, and if none already exists, such a file can be created to save the next person coming along a bit of time. The three sets of files are divided into separate archival boxes on the research shelf.
