My last day!  I decided to spend some time updating my blog and reflecting on my time spent here.  I have loved every minute of my internship.  The staff is unbelievable and are so accommodating.  I have learned so much about Hearst and the importance of his archives.  I also was able to spend some time working on the WRH website, which can be found here.  But most importantly, I have made great friends!
Where do I go from here?  With the recommendation of Dr. Larkin and Dr. Ungarelli of the Digital Initiatives Department, I interviewed for a position as the Web Developer/Designer for LIU and was chosen for the position!  Today I walked over to HR and filled out the paperwork, and will begin on 5/14/12!
I am so thankful for all of the help from everyone in the DI department and look forward to keep in touch during my employment at LIU.

Last time I was unable to finish printing the photo files and sales records that I found because the printer ran out of ink and there were no replacement cartridges in the storage closet!  I printed out the rest and then was asked to print out some images of photo files, catalogs and sales records to be placed in a portfolio album for Dr. Larkin.  Then I had printer troubles again!!  I spent some time troubleshooting the problem (it was a software issue) and was able to continue the job, but ran out of time.

Mirror

Here's another photo that I was able to match with a sales record.  It's a mirror-notice the camera that actually took the picture!  How amazing is that?

Benjamin Franklin's glasses with case

Today I decided to continue matching photo files with their sales records.  I came across this photo, but didn't search for it's matching sales record.  It's actually Benjamin Franklin's glasses!

Mrs. Hearst and Mayor Hylan

Today I was asked to write a paragraph to be used in brochure by checking the facts from last year's exhibition at the Schwartz Library.  I found a few interesting articles...one which included a story about Marilyn Monroe.  She attended a premiere of her movie, "The Prince and the Showgirl" at Radio City Hall, as seen here.

Today I worked on the WRH website again.  I used Photoshop to edit captions and resize images for Derek to be used n a brochure explaining the Silver Jubilee, which took place in New York City.  Hearst was presented with 2 volumes of a Pictorial Review of the event, which is seen here.
