Lesson 8--ArchiveGrid and CAMIO


1.  Theodore Schultz Papers are available at University Archives, Iowa State University Library.
Theodore Schultz was an agricultural economist and graduate of South Dakota State University and the University of Wisconsin. He taught at Iowa State for thirteen years and resigned following the “oleomargarine controversy”. He also was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1979.

2.  I first searched for information using the terms – dress Victorian fashion; and 1837 -1901 as the date.
The results included photographs of dresses from that era. I then tried using fashion as a subject term with the same date preference. This brought up many illustrations of women’s fashions in the Victorian Era. Finally, I substituted “clothing” as the subject term. The results included a couple of men’s clothing illustrations.

Thanks for the post on CAMIO and ArchiveGrid. Your description of how you located the Dickins' era clothing is super!
