I’m getting ready to wrap things up here with the Van Nice project. My year-long internship at ICFA will be ending in a few weeks, and I’m trying to tie up as many loose ends as I can before I leave.
Here’s where things currently stand: all of the materials have been re-organized, but not re-housed into new boxes and folders. The finding aid is coming together, but the historical note, index terms, and references still needed to be added to and edited. I hope to mostly finish the finding aid before I leave, leaving only the relatively straightforward job of re-housing for a lucky future intern!
Picking up on last week’s theme of discovery in the archives: while getting a handle on the vast amount of material that ICFA stores on CD’s, our Metadata and Cataloging Specialist, Anne-Marie, recently came across a large group of Van Nice slides that we hadn’t seen before. Some of them are quite nice!
I’m off to wrangle those loose ends! Keep watching this space for a final update, more information about the future of this blog, and other ways to keep up with ICFA’s many projects.
These are gorgeous photos, the colors are especially nice.
The slides are so evocative. I will miss these updates when you move on. They have offered a wonderful view into this man’s passion.
