As part of the archives committee, we have been working on an event with a trendy name "Deep Dive." To mark the 50th anniversary of the Jewish Archives at the University of Washington, we are having an event this Sunday featuring items from our archives. We started with the idea of 50 items, but I think we have almost 200. It's a huge job to go through the archives and pick out interesting items and keep track of them. Especially given the complicated interface with special collections.
But we've been working on it. We had originally planned to set it all up on Saturday. But now we can't do that. For a reason that I hope will end up being nothing. So we spent all afternoon in the conference room, taking everything off the cards, adding the labels, checking them off the list and putting the ones in the same category together. About 4 hours worth. Dennis, Nancy, Howard and I. I took this picture on a water break through the glass window looking into the conference room.
The idea is to draw interest and possibly funds for the Historical Society. 150 people are signed up to come.
A lotta work!
