The last few weeks I have spent working on an exhibit based on souvenirs that were brought back from World War II. I have done multiple days of research in local newspapers between 1945 and 1950. I have organized events that were going on in Salem and Roanoke into a timeline that I have submitted into Alex Burke, who is the assistant director of the museum, to look over. While he was checking my timeline out, I was combing through the museum software, past perfect, for photos that we can use for the exhibit. Also, I began to go through physical photo catalogues that were left over from some local history books.
After Alex was able to approve my work with the local timeline, I got to work finalizing the timeline and labeling what he thought were the most important facts I had found into a final timeline. While I was working on that, I was also typing up the original articles that the major information came from. We are shooting to finish this up and have it ready in a few weeks.
