research.
Well restarted reading a book on the history of labor, and on a lark went to the Wisconsin Historical Society, which is mentioned in my oh 1975 copy. Folks, they have oodles of material on labor history online. I mean news paper articles, and all that. Yes the things we Historians salivate over.
On the bright side, I won't have to TRAVEL beyond my living room to start trolling primary sources which was my great worry. That said, if any of you is in College and you need access to PRIMARY Sources, there you have it. I will look later to see what OTHER state archives have been digitized...
Oh and yes tippy tappy dance...
Oh and here you go, for the obligatory linky
http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wihistory.aspOnly thing that sucks is... well it is not like I can prod the minds of the reference librarian and I need to know what I am doing... good news I do... but even if you don't know how to cite... the Chicago Manual will help you.
And yes I will have to find a way to support them... perhaps a mug I don't need... or just plain out donation.
This is GREAT WORK they are doing!
