Presidents Day is not another sales event. Really. Today we honor all presidents but especially we remember the two born in February - George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
In GALILEO you can read the 39th Presidents diary. "The Jimmy Carter Presidential Daily Diary Online presents an online version of the diary of Jimmy Carter, former Governor of Georgia from 1971-1975 and the Thirty-Ninth President of the United States from 1977-1981. The diary is the official log of the president's activities during his administration and is from the Carter Presidential Library and Museum."

Behind the scenes
Are you interested in the behind the scenes details of the entertainment world?
"The Blues, Black Vaudeville, and the Silver Screen, 1912-1930s consists of selected correspondence, financial records, contracts, and advertising materials from the theater's records found in the Charles Henry Douglass, Jr. business records at the Middle Georgia Archives, which document the amusements available to Macon's African American population, and the business dealings of this African American entrepreneur from 1912 to the 1930s. The bulk of these selected records feature the period between 1920 and 1929, and describe the sporting events, vaudeville, and films brought to the theater, as well as the efforts to ensure its financial success. Handbills and booking correspondence document Georgia-based fighters such as Tiger Flowers and Texas Tanner who sought to fight at the venue in 1927. Douglass and Ben Stein, a white businessman who assumed ownership of the theater between 1927 and 1929, were affiliated with the Theatre Owners Booking Association (T.O.B.A.), a vaudeville circuit. This gave them access to bring prominent acts to Macon's African American community, such as well-known blues musicians Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, comedians Butterbeans and Susie, as well as musicals, revues, and sacred theater. When not hosting live acts, the Douglass also exhibited a wide variety of sound and silent motion pictures. Selected records feature race films (movies made specifically for African American audiences) of producers such as the Norman Film Manufacturing Company and Oscar Micheaux. The selections highlight other Southern African American theaters, such as the Palace Theatre in Valdosta, Georgia, Liberty Theatre in Columbus, Georgia, and the Liberty Theatre in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Folks who do serious research want to look at the original document. They don't want to read bits and pieces in an article about the document. They want to read the original work. How do they find where the primary source might be?
"ArchivesUSA® is a current directory of 5,596 repositories and 154,678 collections of primary source material across the United States. Using ArchivesUSA®, researchers are able to read descriptions of a repository's holdings to determine whether a collection contains material useful to their work as well as find the information they need to contact the repository directly.
Repository records provide detailed information including phone and fax numbers, hours of service, materials solicited, email and home page URLs when available. Each collection record links to its corresponding repository record, simplifying the research process.
ArchivesUSA® integrates the following information into comprehensive collection records:
The entire collection of NUCMC from 1959 to the present. The National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (NUCMC) includes information gathered and indexed by the Library of Congress, covering more than 103,000 collections. Only ArchivesUSA® makes all of NUCMC fully searchable in electronic form.
Names and detailed subject indexing of over 62,000 collections whose finding aids have been published separately in ProQuest UMI's microfiche series, National Inventory of Documentary Sources in the United States (NIDS).
Collection descriptions submitted directly to us from repositories.
A growing number of more than 5,000 links to online finding aids.
Detailed indexing of collections allows powerful searching across eight combinable fields. Users can zero in on material relevant to their research. "

Where did they come from?
Black History month inspires some people to look for their great grandparents and great-great grandparents. "The Ancestry Library Edition collection has approximately 4,000 databases including key collections such as U.S. federal census images and indexes from 1790 to 1930; the Map Center containing more than 1,000 historical maps; American Genealogical Biographical Index (over 200 volumes), Daughters of the American Revolution Lineage (over 150 volumes), The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1630, Social Security Death Index, WWI Draft Registration Cards, Federal Slave Narratives, and a strong Civil War collection. All materials may be searched at once (using a basic or advanced search screen), or various databases and indexes may be searched individually. "
Start with what you know (yourself, your parents, your grandparents) and work your way back in time. Your grandparents are probably listed in the 1930 Federal census. They might still be living with their parents, which would give you one more generation back.
Ancestry.com is only available at school.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
On February 5th the weather folks were predicting snow in North Georgia for Monday February 6th. In the middle of the night they changed their prediction.
Where do you go to get information about snow?

The more things change!
As the saying goes...the more things change, the more they stay the same. This is the time of year for political leaders to give their "state-of-the-political-institution" address. You can read what the Mayor of Savannah had to say in his annual reports. "The annual reports of the Mayor of the city of Savannah Georgia for the years 1855-1917 include information on city activities and finances, commercial statistics, health, death, and illness statistics, and information on trade, public schools, weather, charitable institutions and city ordinances. The documents also include reports of the City Attorney, the Police Department (including crime statistics), the City Engineer, the Fire Department (including statistics on fires and property losses), and the Board of Trade, among others."
You won't be surprised to read how nothing has really changed. There is some comfort to the notion that things stay the same- of course, there is some distress to the notion, too!

History is for everyone
Annals of American History Online includes the full text of over 2000 primary documents in American history, including historical accounts, speeches, memoirs, poems, editorials, landmark court decisions, and cultural criticism. The resource also has multimedia files, including more than 500 pictures and hundreds of video and audio clips of famous speeches. This chronicle may be explored year by year using a timeline dating from 1493 to 2002, browsed by author or topic, or searched by keyword.
You can search by timeline, by author or by topic. The topic Discrimination & Diversity notes, "Equality has from the beginning been a promise of American life, though it is nowhere laid down as a governing principle. In the Declaration of Independence equality is defined as a “self-evident” truth, though this so-called natural truth has undergone several centuries of refinement. Relive the debates on freedom of religion, the abolition of slavery, immigration, the treatment of Native Americans, woman suffrage, fair wages, and other civil issues."
Read all about it in Annals of American History.

Who's on first?
The classic comedy sketch "Who's on first?" still brings laughs! But when you're looking for a book and can't figure out who has it...there is very little laughing going on....look in World Cat to find out what library has the title you are looking for. Your librarian can then request that title through InterLibrary Loan. The process takes about two weeks.
