Pencils
Listening to NPR this morning on the way to work, there was a story about the General Pencil Company in New Jersey. They make pencils- not just those no.2 pencils you use for tests but pencils used by artists! It was fascinating to hear how an American manufacturer has moved with the times to stay competitive and productive and keep their factory open in America!
I looked in GALILEO for transcripts of the story. I didn't find this particular story- though Lexis-Nexis has NPR radio transcripts.
You can read the story at the NPR site http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4724377 Pencil Company Sharpens Marketing Approach
Check out General Pencil http://www.generalpencil.com/
Coming up on the 4th of July, it was nice to hear a positive story about American manufacturing.

Vacation pictures
What do you do with those pictures that are stacking up every where in your huose?
In GALILEO, there is a link to Vanishing Georgia which comprises nearly 18,000 photographs. Ranging from daguerreotypes to Kodachrome prints, the images span over 100 years of Georgia history. The broad subject matter of these photographs, shot by both amateurs and professionals, includes, but is not limited to, family and business life, street scenes and architecture, agriculture, school and civic activities, important individuals and events in Georgia history, and landscapes. The wide variety of the collected visual images results from efforts by archivists from the Georgia Division of Archives and History who sought, between 1975 and 1996, to preserve Georgia's endangered historical photographs. Designed primarily for preservation, the project located, selected, and copied historically significant photographs held by individuals who wanted to share their pieces of the past with future generations.The Georgia Archives joins with the Digital Library of Georgia to present the Vanishing Georgia images as a digital resource. Support for the project is provided by a Library Services and Technology Act grant administered through Georgia HomePLACE.
Maybe your pictures could end up in an archives and be enjoyed by others for generations to come!
