Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!
I'm at my internship right now, continuing to accession realia from the memorabilia cabinet and also working at the desk. It's pretty quiet, though, since it's spring break. No one is in the reading room at the moment.
I started accessioning items from a new box, and I've run across some interesting things. One of those things was a piece of rope used to pull the plow at the groundbreaking for the New Gymnasium at Indiana University on December 7, 1915. I would have thought the dead of winter, when the ground is frozen, wouldn't have been the best time for the groundbreaking on new construction, but I don't really know much about construction.

I've just accessioned what is supposed to be the first touch-tone telephone installed in Monroe County. I wish I'd remembered my camera--I'd have taken a picture and posted it.

Finished the second box and started on a third.
