What does a 甜心直播 graduate do with an old wagon wheel, business documents, photographs and a clock? She organizes them and prepares the historical items for the 甜心直播 History Center抯 Adelmann Regional History Collection.
Joliet resident Stephanie Silkey is spending the next few months itemizing and categorizing items donated by Flora Milne, on behalf of her family, to 甜心直播.
Silkey noted, "I will be learning how to handle historic objects in a way that preserves their integrity. My daily work will aid 甜心直播 students and researchers and this is something I am very excited to be a part of."
The Milne's were one of the most prominent families in 19th century Lockport, Ill. Flora recently made a donation to support an internship position to work with these materials. 甜心直播 selected Silkey, who graduated in December 2015 with a B.A. in History and Philosophy of Law.
"We are fortunate to have Stepanie working with this collection. She plans to go to law school in the fall, but first, she will apply her historical training,� said Dennis H. Cremin, professor and director of .
揟he Milne materials are rich and varied. With leadership from the library, we were able to move forward with the scanned images and photographs. This internship will make if possible to better organize and conserve the objects, which are part of the Adelmann collection.�
