For week 5 I continued to work on surveying the Catholic Church Extension Society's general correspondence files and I finished my survey. Most of these files contain letters of donations and their corresponding letters. There are also some pictures and applications that people have filed as an appeal for aid. These documents provide an insight into how the society worked and what their purpose was. The next step will be to sort these files in order to create a system in which they can be accessed.
For week 6 I was asked to assist in doing research and help organize for the Archives department's open house. The open house is meant to showcase the Archives department's material and to bring awareness to people about the departments purpose. As part of the research, I was responsible for searching through and selecting pictures that can be used in the showcase and used to highlight the department's collection.
Below are examples of material I surveyed:
