An antique 1873 atlas of Milwaukee County was donated to the St. Francis Library. The atlas contained detailed maps and information about neighborhoods, streets, farms and families from that era. The fragile atlas was in poor condition without a cover and with torn pages. Thanks to an anonymous donor, the atlas was preserved by a book conservation expert for $350. It is now accessible again for patrons researching local and family history from over a century ago. The preserved atlas is one of only a few known copies in existence, making it a valuable resource for genealogical research at the St. Francis Library.

This document discusses some dualistic phenomena in Shang society based on archaeological evidence from sites Hsiao-t'un and Hsi-pei-kang near Anyang. It notes that structural remains at Hsiao-t'un were clustered into three groups arranged north-south, possibly representing palatial, temple, and ritual structures. The layout of royal tombs at Hsi-pei-kang into eastern and western clusters is also described. The document explores how the arrangement of these sites relates to the later Zhou "chao-mu" system of alternating temple lineages, and questions if such a dualistic system existed in Shang society.Tabscott history of library 2

The document provides a history of libraries from ancient times to the modern era. It discusses how the earliest libraries began as collections of clay tablets and scrolls in places like Egypt and Mesopotamia. Some important early libraries included the Library of Alexandria, founded in the 3rd century BC, which was a major center of knowledge but was eventually destroyed. Libraries grew again during the Roman Empire and Middle Ages within monasteries, which helped preserve knowledge. The modern library system developed from the 15th century onward with innovations like the printing press and movement for public libraries in the 19th century led by Andrew Carnegie. The Library of Congress was established in 1800 and has grown to be the largest library in the world.Chatham Square Midterm

The document discusses the destruction of the Grand Library of Alexandria. It examines multiple stories about when and how it was destroyed. It is widely accepted that parts of the library were destroyed during Julius Caesar's invasion in 48 BC when he burned ships in the harbor and the fire spread. The main library was likely destroyed during Emperor Aurelian's invasion in 270-275 AD when the Bruchion district where it was located was ravaged by war. While some books may have been lost at other times, there is no credible evidence that the library was destroyed by Caliph Umar as some claim. Most scholars reject blaming the library's destruction on Umar or Muslims.More Related Content

- The first humans in North America were Black or Negroid peoples, not Mongoloid peoples as commonly believed. Evidence from early archaeological sites and the physical characteristics of the earliest remains show they looked similar to modern Africans, Australians, and Polynesians.
- Only a very small percentage of today's Black Americans can trace their ancestry to the approximately 308,000 African slaves brought to North America. The harsh conditions slaves faced led to declining populations.
