Volunteer Work- Day 10
Today I came close to finishing the inventory on my final box before going into full-on processing.
This box was one of the easier ones, as it mainly consisted of dated photo albums- so far ranging from 2009 down to 1979. One really cool photo I found was a 1981 photograph of then-Senator Joe Biden. I've seen a lot of photos with Senator Tom Carper (he was also governor of the state from 1993 to 2001), but I had never seen one with Joe Biden. Dude still didn't have a full head of hair even 32 years ago. Beau Biden must have lucked out either by not having the gene, or having really good hair work done on him. The 1981 photo album also had a pretty cool view of the old pedestrian bridge that used to exist over South College Avenue- it was brown and round-shaped, and it connected Smith Hall to a patch of grass on other side. Students called it the "Gerbil tube". It was replaced in the 1990's with a much more physically appealing white pedestrian bridge, and the patch of grass was built into Gore Hall in the late '90's.
I also found a Guest Book that covered events going from 1979 all the way up to 1990- it was cool to see a guest book that was actually completed. I also really enjoyed finding the 1985 Photo Album, and thinking about how that was the summer my mother was pregnant with me.
There's just something awesome about going through old photographs to me.
