PAST PURSUITS: Genealogy and Local History News at the Akron-Summit County Public Library
PAST PURSUITS: Genealogy and Local History News at the Akron-Summit County Public Library A Publication of the Special Collections Division Volume 2 Number 4 End of Year Edition If you are reading this newsletter, there is little doubt that you have been shocked by the sudden passage of time while digesting manuscripts or scrolling through reels of microfilm. The Special Collections staff has recently taken that pause and realized that 2004 is nearly upon us. This is a time for reflection. This has been a year of many accomplishments and some disappointments. We liken our situation to genealogical and local history research. In 2003, we have solved many puzzles, written many chapters, and clearly answered questions…while, of course, creating more questions. Yet we still have a great deal of work that remains to be done. We look upon 2004 and the challenges (or “brick walls” for genealogists) it presents with enthusiasm and zeal. We remain focused on collections and database development, outreach, preparation for the move to the new Main Library in the fall, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, continuation of excellent reference service to genealogy and local history researchers. You see, we are driven by the same interest in history that makes time fly when you research, leaving your family to wonder if you are ever coming home! To keep updated on construction efforts, visit: http://ascpl.lib.oh.us/construction/main.html#Downtown Please don’t forget that you can visit us at 1040 E. Tallmadge Avenue during library construction! All genealogy and local history collections are available. -
Proquest Dissertations
INFORMATION TO USERS This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMi films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6” x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.
