The BJV Project is progressing nicely. We’ve a whole workshop of labor now working on the collection, with three new interns added this spring. Jennifer Crouch will also be re-joining the team to continue work on the photograph collection. So the shop is buzzing with activity. We will shortly begin work on the National Herald newspaper materials which are some of the most important in the collection. When this is completed we will have the majority of the Business series organized.
We have also recently heard from our colleague Kostis Karpozilos who, while in Athens, continues to work away on his PhD dissertation on the history Greek-American labor radicalism. We send him our greetings!
Finally, Special Collections/Tsakopoulos Hellenic is in the process of acquiring a another small collection of very interesting Greek-American papers. More news as it comes available.

Ah, the good old days. With the recent sub-prime market meltdown and Wall Street bailout fiasco, I thought I would share an artifact from another era – one of wealth and prosperity, when white people moved away from the cities and into the newly formed suburbs. An era when the homes were modular not the loans.
Just one of many interesting finds from the Business Series.
