Congratulations Sarah!Yesterday, April 25, 2022, our former long-time Graduate Intern Sarah Finn&nbs
Congratulations Sarah!Yesterday, April 25, 2022, our former long-time Graduate Intern Sarah Finn successfully defended her thesis for a Masters in History on the production and publishing of the very popular The Naturalist’s Library, a forty-plus-volume book series published in Edinburgh from 1833-1843 by William Home Lizars and Sir William Jardine. Sarah not only used secondary sources and many different editions of the books in the series, but also contributed original research by analyzing the correspondence, ledgers, and scrapbooks of original drawings relating to this series preserved at the National Library of Scotland and the National Museums Scotland, both in Edinburgh, Scotland. Our head of Special Collections, Max Yela, served on Sarah’s thesis committee and attests to Sarah’s fascinating work. Click on the images for details. Sarah received her Masters in Library and Information Studies from UW-Milwaukee in 2020 and is currently an Archival Projects Librarian at the Milwaukee Public Library. Now she can add Master of History to credentials. Congratulations Sarah!View posts Sarah has written for us over the years. -- source link
