Greetings, dear readers! My apologies for the delay in posting, but I finished the semester on the crispy side of burnt out, and then I had a vacation roadtripping across the American West with my husband for a few weeks, and now I’m back.
As seen in the image for this post, this particular entry is brought to you by the letter M, which I have just finished with. This summer has been interesting on the research fronts, not least because I had a student volunteer to assist with some data entry, which is greatly appreciated. As I can’t pay this student, any work they manage to do is strictly a bonus bit and I’m excited to have any of it. The letter M in itself, since March, has given a number of insights.
- McMaster University Library has a number of really good things, including the French translation of Henrietta as well as The Memoirs of the Countess of Berci AND The Story of Eliza!
- I had to sort through the various libraries of the University of Wisconsin and consolidate them, so that’s done now.
- The University of Delaware also has a respectable collection of Lennox holdings, which is nice to see.
- Michigan State University also has a copy of the Memoirs for the History of Madame de Maintenon!
Next up is, of course N, which between the “New*” states, “National” libraries, and the Newberry should provide some interesting sorting.
Number of libraries confirmed: 405
Number of libraries entered into the database: 118
Number of extant copies confirmed: 1411

Rock on, Michelle!!
Always good to see your updates. 🙂

I acknowledge the Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of the Los Angeles basin and Southern Channel Islands and am grateful to have the opportunity to work at the sacred site of Puvungna. I pay my respects to the Ancestors, Elders, and relatives/relations past, present, and emerging.
