Week 8 ArchiveGrid and CAMIO

“Sitting Bull Autograph Card” had an interesting summary of Sitting Bull. I did not know that he was killed while resisting arrest because he would stop a ritual tradition Ghost Dance that had been outlawed.

I search Sergeant Charles Flloyd with 66 results. One result is the Draper manuscripts: William Clark papers, 1780-1804. The Wisconsin Historical Society is the institution that the material you can contact them with the information they give on the website. The webpage gives links to register online for The Charles Floyd journal and Wisconsin Digital Library. Another result is the Papers relating to the history of the Sioux City, Iowa, area 1857-1930. The institution with this information is  the Minnesota Historical Society.

CAMIO

Some items that are made by Paul Revere that showed as results from CAMIO;

The Bloody Massacre by Paul Revere Jr. in 1770 on a sheet 9 7/8 X 8 ½ in.

Teaspoon by Paul Revere in 1787.

Sugar Bowl and Cover by Paul Revere in 1795

Searching Sioux some results are;

Pipe Bowl by Dakota (Santee Sioux) a sculpture made of maple and metal around 1840

Pouch by Eastern Sioux around 1820 made of buckskin, mallard duck scalp, porcupine quills, tin cones, dyed deer hair.

I searched Vincent Van Gogh and they had 46 works. One of my favorites Sunflowers, 1888 was on the list and is located at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I was able to go to the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands and got to see my favorite painting Almond Branches in Bloom, 1890.

How the community could use this resource is recently I had an older woman who liked to paint come in looking for material. This would be great resource to show her to get inspiration from. Another way to be used is students have come in doing research papers and needed images on Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth.

The favorite list options are helpful in many ways. The slideshow lets you see your favorite images lager and one right after another. I really liked the compare feature where if you had to compare two works of arts you can pull them up next to each other.
