Old Stuff is Fun!

The Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center of the Davenport Public Library Main Street location (321 Main Street) has created a new weblog (or “blog”) entitled, “Primary Selections from Special Collections.” Patrons can view this blog by visiting the Center’s website at http://www.qcmemory.org/, or by linking directly to the blog by typing: http://blogs.davenportlibrary.com/sc.

This new blog showcases interesting items from the Library’s local history and genealogy collections, including many photographs (check out the “Image ‘O the Week”). Other items on the blog include Davenporters of note, urban legends (and the debunking thereof), and news about recently acquired local history and genealogy resources.

For more information about this exciting technology, contact the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center at 563-326-7902.
