L: Is there something else I can help you with?
S: Yes. One thing I’ll be needing to see for one of my class projects is old photographs. Do you have any photographs of the city in the 19th century that I could look at?
L: Yes, we store all the photographs in the basement.Those stairs over there will take you down to the photography collection. Just tell the librarian there what you’re interested in, and he’ll help you.
S: Those would be nineteenth-century photographs?
L: Yes, the entire collection is there. Now, if you’re interested in seeing documents from the nineteenth century, those are right here on the ground floor.
S: I would like to see some of those documents. Does that collection include newspapers, too?
L: No, all the newspapers from the earliest ones, in the eighteenth century, up to the current time, are on the second floor. Here, let me just give you this map of the archives, and you’ll be able to find whatever it is you need.
S: Thank you. Oh, I see you have a whole room devoted to maps.
L: Yes, on the third floor.
S: That’s great because one thing I need to do is look at how the city has developed over time.
L: I’m sure you’ll find a lot of helpful information there. Of course, some of the maps are several centuries old, so generally, visitors are only allowed to see photographic reproductions of them.
S: That shouldn’t be a problem. What’s this on the fourth floor — Ogden’s Woolen Mill?
L: As I’m sure you know, Ogden’s Woolen Mill was the major entity responsible for the growth of this city in the nineteenth century. The Ogdens gave money for the archives to devote an entire floor to information about the history of the mill.
S: Will I be able to find information about the Ogden family there — photographs, personal papers, things like that?
L: Probably the family photographs are stored downstairs in the photography collection. The personal papers would be on the fifth floor, where we keep all the personal papers of famous residents of our city.
S: Thank you so much for your help. I’ll be able to do a lot of my research here.
