I began my day looking through a few miscellaneous boxes of items, ranging from art catalogs from 1909 to 1959. One interesting item included the auction of Charles Dickens' Bleak House Broadstairs. I also came across a newspaper article from the 1920's - I'm not sure why it was there, but it was interesting to look at the articles and advertisements of the day.
I finished the remainder of the day by cataloging Hearst's auction catalogs from 1934, searching through WorldCat as a reference to copy-catalog and inputted the information into an excel file to be imported into the database.
My supervisor received an email from the two associates from the ancient art company. They discovered that the Metropolitan Museum's Onassis Library houses the Kelekian papers, and mentioned that they will follow up on the "Alexander the Great" reference. They promise to keep us posted and thanked us for our help.
