Another week down!

I haven't worked in the archives since Tuesday. Several scholars who are here as part of a workshop needed my materials and so I wasn't able to work on those documents.

I was worried at first that I would be horribly behind, but have gone through a lot of microfilm reels today and have caught up.

I made sure that I introduced myself to these scholars on Wednesday morning when they arrived and then worked at the Borders coffee shop.

Today at 2pm there is a panel on North Africa, part of the summer workshop series that the museum runs. I will be there. I'm very excited about it. I looked up all of the scholars who are participating and I hope I can meet people who work in my field.

The documents haven't been as relevant as I would have hoped. I am finding some things of use, but these finds are few and far between. That is kind of frustrating, but I suppose not every trip can expose a gold mine.
