Description: Survey our periodical holdings in Carnegie.
This would be a continuation of the project given during the Currculum,
measuring the amount of material in Mudd, Art, Science and Con
that is pre-1920 and contains printed art (not photo-mechanical
half tones) in the form of engravings, lithographs, etc. After
the measuring gets done, the student would need to write a brief
overview of the content of our holdings with some bulk figures
so we know the scope of the problem with 19th century periodicals.
I am estimating two weeks for this, but can't say exactly when
diuring the summer at this point.
