Lesson 8

I learned that Sitting Bull lived from around 1834 until 1890.  His autograph card and its envelope are housed at the Cornell University Library Archives, and one would need to contact them to find out about access to it.

I did a search for Highland Wisconsin (my hometown) and came up with some interesting finds.  There are 248 hits for such things as school records, business records, church records, cemetery records, a letter from President Harrison, personal histories (including one of a family I remember), tax rolls, etc., etc.  It looks like the bulk of them are held by the Wisconsin Historical Society, with some being held by the University of Wisconsin and other universities.  These types of items would be useful for serious historical researchers or genealogy researchers (especially church records of baptisms, births, etc.)

In CAMIO, a search for Paul Revere shows several items made by him, including prints, spoons, tea and coffee urns, sugar bowls, tea service, teapots, etc.   A search for the term "Sioux" yields 63 results including photographs, clothing, pipes and pipe bowls, books, paintings, dolls, etc.  Norman Rockwell is one of my favorite artists, so I searched his name and got 6 results.  Five of these paintings are held at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, with the sixth item at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.  I found it interesting that the five paintings at the Buffalo Gallery were gifts to the Gallery by the Management, Associates and Shareholders of Pratt & Lambert United.  Four of those five paintings depict a can of  "Pratt-Lambert Floor Vanish" in them.  I searched for Wisconsin and got 49 results, most of which were photographs.  I added some of these to my favorites and was able to move them around, remove some from my choices, etc.  I really don't see our general patrons using CAMIO a lot, but it could probably be useful to history or art teachers.
