Lesson 8

1.  I typed in the terms Nobel prize South Dakota Theodore Schultz and got one result.  This man's papers are held in the archives at Iowa State University in Ames.  I learned that Mr. Schultz received degrees from South Dakota State College and the University of Wisconsin.  He was on the faculty at Iowa State University for thirteen years before resigning "in protest" over the "oleomargarine controversy" and going on to the University of Chicago.  He received the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1979.

2.  I had a bit of trouble finding much to answer this question.  I tried general search terms such as Victorian fashion, England fashion, Victorian dress fashion clothing, etc. but either got no results or no results for the correct time period.  When I searched English clothing, I found pictures of one dress from 1875.  So I tried the terms English fashion.  I got the picture of the same dress I found earlier plus one other dress (from 1867-1870) as well as some other items that are not clothing.  I then did a search on the terms English dress and got one more result for that time period (in addition to the two mentioned above).  I did a search on Charles Dickens and found a couple portraits of him which show the type of clothing he wore.  It seems like I should be finding more results, but I have been unsuccessful at doing so.

After discussing this issue with a co-worker, she tried searching by just the term fashion.  That gives me 317 results.  Scrolling through the list, I found that there are some drawings of fashions from the correct time period.  I guess I don't understand the option to refine my results by date, because scrolling through the results I find ones that have dates of 1849, 1858, 1862, etc., but these dates do not show up in the refine section in the left column.  So, I guess I just have to look through all 317 records.
