The Archivist's Bulldog Vol.
Some students spend their summers flipping burgers.
We spent our summer working for Dr. Papenfuse in the Rare Books Room, flipping GIFs to TIFFs to PDFs to MAXs and back again. We enhanced existing document packets, Celebrating Rights and Responsibilities , In the Aftermath of Glory, Is Baltimore Burning , and ones concerning Donald Gaines Murray and Thurgood Marshall. A day trip to the Supreme Court Library yielded several hundred additional pages of briefs and papers relating to the Robert Mack Bell civil rights case of the 1960s. In addition, we created another document packet, A Guide to Six Significant Maryland Appellate Cases , based on a request from the Maryland State Bar Association. Each case involved an important legal issue addressed by the Court of Appeals.
