Alex, and RaQuell
We got into the reading room, signed in and looked up the contagious disease acts in the catalog card. The card was in drawer 166 called “Loesser-Londres,” it was under the section “London (ENG.)—Poor.
Then we asked a man working in the reading room for the collection list and he found the list for us which has the texts listed by box, folder and name. We looked through the list and in box two there were many texts on the contagious disease acts.
We decided to ask to see item 21 which was called “The National Association for the Repeal of the Contagious Disease acts, Fund for the Aid and Defense of Women. Attachment: Subscription form and Statements Why all Christian Men and Women Should Help the Cause of Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts.”
We filled out a request card with the call number DA676, box number 2, item 21, the title of the texts, and our names, and then gave the request card to the woman behind the desk. They found it brought it out to us and we were able to examine the text.

Great directions of the path you took to find your materials. They are very straightforward and easy to understand.
ReplyDeleteThis post was also informative for me. I did not go about finding my materials in the same way as you two, so it was good to hear a different method of finding information. I will be able to use it in the future.
ReplyDeleteLauren and I had some trouble locating our specific collection using the catalogue card. Would you recommend going to the online catalogue first? When Lauren and I tried to find our collection we attempted to find the call card according to the author's last name and were unsuccessful, and when we tried to find it using the specific title of the text we also had trouble. Perhaps if we'd followed your steps we would have had an easier time.
