Tom Flynn, curator of the Ingersoll Birthplace Museum, received a bunch of cool new items from a descendant of RGI. Included are what appears to be the printing plates from the Dresden Edition fronts pieces. Each is a different picture of RGI taken at a different point of his life.
Additionally, there are some rare pictures and a scrapbook put together by the family.
I have been asked to assist with one of the plates that is somewhat different from the others, and I will write more on that when I find out more.
Also, I will be cataloging some more Ingersoll items rather soon as we have a box of materials from the former library director (Gordon Stein) that was acquired about 10 years ago, but never cataloged.
We are also getting ready to put together an exhibition of artifacts from Dr R.V. Pierce, a mail order practitioner of nostrums that may or may not have been effective. This also ties into some articles coming out soon from Senior Research Fellow Joe Nickell, and my digitization project for the WNYLRC.
