Lesson 8--ArchiveGrid and CAMIO


Lesson 8--ArchiveGrid and CAMIO


1. Using ArchiveGrid I typed in Nobel Prize Theodore Schultz and the first entry came up with Papers 1933-1988 which are at the Parks Library at Iowa State University.  This entry also gave a description of Schultz and discussed the oleo margarine controversy in 1943 that resulted in the resignation of Schultz from the Department of Economics and Sociology.  I discovered that you could click on other items that brought you to World Cat with the same entry, Papers, 1933-1988. 


2. Using CAMIO  Clothing during the Victorian Era and Charles Dickens

After a bit of frustration I finally typed in dress and the year 1850.  There were 11 results and I did spend some time looking at the pictures of dresses.  Are there any pictures of men’s clothing?  I also typed in clothing (17 results) and fashion (16 results).  For each of these I clicked on 1800.  I tried typing Victorian Era but nothing would come up.  I liked the way you could focus on parts of the outfits if you wanted to look at the details quite close.  This might prove valuable if a school did a play of a certain era.

  1. Thank you for your post! You came up with a great solution to locating the Dickens' era clothing. What a great idea to use CAMIO to look up clothing for a school play.
