I was at a library yesterday looking for a specific newspaper article.
The Carnegie Library's main branch in Oakland has a room for Pennsylvania history. Very cool...
After my research for the article was done, I just browsed thru the bookshelves, marveling at all the historical records that have been added since the years passed that I visited last.
The books that really caught my attention were in binders, very worn, dirty.....obviously thumbed thru many, many times. The edges of some sections were blackened from dirty hands.
It was a book from the "Playground Committee", dating back to the early 1900's.
I never knew there was a committee for such things...especially back then.
There were maps of all the playgrounds in the Pittsburgh area and had pictures of some of them.
I'm guessing by the conditions of these binders...detector reasearchers have paged through them many, many times.
Guess where I WON'T be detecting......lol
Research works both ways....find some good places to detect...eliminate others.
