In the
National
Anthropological Archives, we photographed hundreds of original documents from the time period of our study focus, the Choctaw Removal, otherwise known as the
Trail of Tears.
 |
| What treasures are in here? Sarah Elisabeth opening yet another box of the dozens we examined and photographed at the NAA |
 |
| Here, we only had to wear gloves when handling photos to prevent smudges |
|
 |
| So many wonderful old documents to peruse. We have yet to sort and examine each one, but they are saved for when we are ready |
 |
| When we were able to take a document from its protective plastic sheet, Lynda Kay handled it oh so carefully, and replacing it took time and focus. |
 |
| With so many boxes to sort through, we made a list of the folders we photographed for double documentation |
Two days and over 1,200 photos taken later, we said our goodbyes to the NAA and the MSC. Time for the next segment in our adventures.
Chahta Siah,
Sarah Elisabeth
