Chase For November 10th
On Tuesday, November 3rd, our class took place outside of our usual environment. Professor Gold requested that we all meet at a local library called the Brooklyn Historical Science [BHS]. Previously known as Long Island Historical Science, this library is the best place to go if one is researching or attempting to find out more about the city of Brooklyn in reference to how it was many years ago & who lived where, when, & with who during a specific date/time.
Upon our arrival to BHS, we were greeted by a very nice & welcoming librarian named Lynn. She gave us quite a tour of the place & was well prepared to do so prior to our arrival. She laid out books & resources to show us that would help guide through our next assigned project. There are maps that she presented to us that would he us investigate Whitman’s location. There were even techniques that she showed us in using these maps/almanacs.
All in all, it was quite an informative evening spent at BHS. Everyone in my class, including myself, now have memberships to the museum for the next year! I will soon be returning to the library to work on my research. Hopefully, Lynn is there to help me on set day.
