The book 1776 by David McCullough tells the story of the military aspects of the American Revolution. McCullough writes the book from both the British and American point of views, creating a better understanding of what both sides were undergoing during the war.

For my project, I researched the Abner Pollard Mausoleum. I live one street away from the cemetery and had never known that it was a grave. I have been able to increase my knowledge on hima along with the culture of the late 1800s in Leominster as well as in the world.

Many do not know that the IMA houses two different libraries. The Stout Reference Library and the Horticultural Society Library provide numerous resources for their visitors, which mainly consist of students, IMA Staff, docents, collectors, researchers and even members of the community. The Stout Reference Library “focuses on the encyclopedia collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, while also providing general information about art and art history of all periods.” (Stout Reference Library, 2017) The Horticultural Society Library “houses more than 2,000 volumes, including general reference books and books on landscaping, specific plant families and horticulture.” (Horticultural Society Library, 2017) I mention the libraries because this semester, I am technically considered a library and archives intern at the IMA. My mentor however is the archivist, Samantha Norling. She has done impressive work at the IMA in such a short time. She jump-started the Archives online portal, which consists of thousands of digitized items from the archives. The IMA received a “generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)” (Documenting Modern Living, 2017), that allowed for 17,000 items from the Miller House and Garden archival collection to be digitized.

I did not think that the things that happened back in the 1800’s was something that carried its way through the years to today. After my visit to the Rhode Island Historical Society Library and after the research I did, I realized that the historical societies that impacted the way life was back in the 1800’s was almost the same societies that were around today and the things that the societies impacted the way the world is today. The difficulties that I had while looking for research on my own in the Rhode Island Historical Society Library was that there was not a lot of information about Elizabeth Buffum Chace and what she did. Other than books that can be check out from a public library, there was not a lot of materials that were special to the Rhode Island Historical Society Library. I resolved this challenge by checking books out of the Exeter Public Library and I did research on the Community College of Rhode Island’s online library and got an article on Elizabeth Buffum Chace. I feel that I did not learn anything from going to the Rhode Island Historical Society Library. I do not work well in groups and going to this library working to get information with the three other people did not help me because there was more talking about other things than the work we needed to get done. I also felt that the materials at the Rhode Island Historical Society library was not that important to the

A new exhibit on the history of crime in Lake County, “Crime and Punishment”, is open for the summer at the Courthouse Museum in Lakeport. Stagecoach robbers, a notorious sneak thief and a gang of murderous miners are featured in the same building their sentences were handed out.

Before the vice president of the United States, the world known duel in history was between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Ellis tells us the most common story called The Duel which says that Burr and Hamilton died but Burr survived for a while yet couldn’t have a say in politics. In order to fully assess or appreciate the actual importance and what happened after the duel, you must understand their thought and also how they felt. Amid the time for the duel, Burr who was the Vice President for Thomas Jefferson separated family line from the colossal Jonathan Edwards, and from him, is the place he got his black eyes and dark hair. In the morning, Burr went out for the duel and despite the fact that he wore the clothes from the day before;

The musical Hamilton tells the story of the life and death of Alexander Hamilton. Overcoming his past as a poor, orphaned boy, he became one of the founding fathers and even found his way onto the ten dollar bill. Despite all that he had accomplished, Alexander’s life took a very disastrous turn. His story is extremely tragic, especially when focusing in on his affair with Maria Reynolds, the death of his first son, Philip, and then his own death.

We view historical preservation as very important. This year we helped the Secretary of State with a biographical project, Legacy

Alexander Hamilton, one of America’s long founders, was born on the island of Nevis in the British West Indies. His mother was born of French and His father born of Scottish. Surprisingly, alexander was born only three years before his parents even got married. Do to this situation, he was always self-conscious about his birth. Even more so, his political enemies often tried to embarrass him because of the situation. Very soon after, parents decided to move to the island of St. Croix whenever he was ten years old.

There are many historical sites in New York City that have contributed and still contribute to America’s political history in some way. The historical site that I have decided to expand my research on is, the Hamilton Grange National Memorial located in Harlem, New York. This site was the home of Alexander Hamilton, one of the seven foreign-born Founding Fathers of the United States of America. He had a great influence on the foundation of the United States of America, the United States constitution and the Federalist Party. He was a Military officer, lawyer and member of the US constitutional convention, an American political philosopher, and author of the majority of the Federalist Papers.

In the Douglas A. Irwin's article about Hamilton's Report of Manufactures he mentions many issues that arose from the report. Irwin makes his report clear about the fact that Hamilton's report never made fruition until separated and debated in future times. His report focuses on "the reception and immediate legislative impact of the report", the debate "for bounties on cod fisheries and additional revenue proposals involving tariffs", and the shift of "manufacturing interests away from Federalists as the Republican policy of reciprocity offered the hope of greater relief from foreign competition than Hamilton's revenue-base" (Irwin, 2004). This is the author's main goal with his writing.

Do you ever pay attention to the face on the ten dollar bill and think, "What did man do to earn his place on this bill?" It's common to hear the man's name, Alexander Hamilton, but what do you know about him? Alexander Hamilton was an inspiration to all who have ever encountered or heard about him. If I could go back in time and meet anyone in history, I would choose Alexander Hamilton without a single doubt. Hamilton had a hard, yet successful life. Hamilton's hardships in life started before he was a teenager when his parents divorced and the he was virtually an orphan. Though he had a rough start on life, Hamilton was determined and got employed by the age of twelve. Along with the education from his mother, Hamilton read any book he could

Interest depends on the individual choices. Books and papers archive can be done by individual, organizational, institutional and governmental. Interest in archiving is a good to a habit. If one is willing full to maintain and study things on historical grounds then it is a perfect platform for him. From the above discussion it can be concluded that one should make an effort towards the charitable work. And it is a good habit to maintain and value the literature and knowledge. The archives vary from big collection to small gatherings. Anyone can take part in the archiving
