Does anything really change?

Through GALILEO the Baldy Editorial Cartoons: The Clifford H. Baldowski Collection can be accessed:
The collection at the Richard B. Russell Library contains 6,740 pen and ink drawings and 2,460 velox. The digital database opens with approximately 2,500 cartoons from the collection. Clifford H. Baldowski, known by the pen-name "Baldy," depicted the local, national, and international news of his day in the editorial pages of the Augusta Chronicle, Miami Herald, and Atlanta Constitution. His work is a rich source for those studying political reorganization in Georgia and the growth of Atlanta as well as the Civil Rights Movement, the Cold War, the Vietnam conflict, Middle East tensions, and Watergate.


I did a search for elections and went down memory lane! Things really never do change.

You get the password to use GALILEO at home from your public librarian.
