Happy National Library Week!

In honor of this week, here are some photos of when our library made it to Milwaukee! The first photo is moving trucks arriving to the library building, with a crowd awaiting it. Next is the card catalogs being placed in the AGSL, where they still reside today. Thousands of cards, some handwritten, were moved from New York City. Jovanka Ristic, who is the current Reference Librarian, is pictured cataloging a map, and in a map printed shirt! The last photo depicts “Susan Peschel [the current Visual Resources Librarian] inputs Current Geographical Publications with a microcomputer. Automation at last!” Some captions or were words were taken from Current Geographical Publications, Volume 51, number 11, December 1988.
