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.

I realized I never searched through the photo files for the Phoebe Hearst item request, so I decided to begin with that.  I still had no luck, so Dr. Larkin gave me another item to search.  She received an email requesting an item that was found in the Hearst database.  The information included the name of the item and the album that it was in, so this was an easy job.  I found the sales record and description and copied them.
Next, I again tried matching up the sales records with the photo files and found several matches.  I scanned and edited them in Photoshop and will need to finish on Thursday.
