Finished for the summer!

I am done with archives for the summer.

The rest of the collection at the USHMM was just as spotty as the first bit. Very interesting documents and I feel like I have a better feel for the way anti-Jewish legislation was enacted in North Africa, but not a lot of information directly related to my topic.

The panel that I went to last week was not what I had expected. I was looking for a panel for scholars and it was more of a public presentation of the workshop findings. I do have a few leads I will follow to contact people working on my topic, however.

While I am finished in the archives, my work is never really done. I will spend the rest of the summer continuing to read for my Comprehensive Exams and work on fellowship applications.
