I'm heading out, probably tomorrow, for 3-4 weeks on the road to archives. Here's where I'll be:
Earlham College in Richmond, IN -- collection of Quaker missionary materials
Emory University in Atlanta -- has the records of a Methodist bishop who was involved in missions to Cuba
Episcopalian Archives in Austin, TX -- has a bunch of missionary records
UT-Austin Center for American History -- has three collections of papers of soldiers who participated in the occupation of Cuba
I'm staying with my brother and sister-in-law while researching at Earlham, and I'm hoping to visit Brian R. and his family in Birmingham on my way from Atlanta to Austin. Plus, I'll get to hang out with Stacy in Austin, and have a research buddy! Then, on my way back to DC, I'll visit my parents in St Louis.
Also, my secret hope for this trip is that somewhere on the road a stray puppy will find me and need a new home. One cannot abandon a needy puppy. I also hope to eat a lot of ice cream. Other suggestions are welcome.
