Strength in Reserve (and Periodicals too)

I did a subject search for "music" in the Immigration History & Research archives and found lots of interesting info, including:
"Papers (1912-1976) of Nicola Berardinelli (1892- ), an Italian American composer, conductor, operatic baritone, voice teacher, and author, who came to the United States in 1910, consist of photographs; sheet music; playbills; programs; and newspaper clippings; Most materials pertain to Berardinelli's activities in Chicago, New York, and Denver."

I searched in the Northwest Architectural Archives, for downtown designs and found information on numerous designs of downtowns in the midwest.

I did a search on the Gospel of Judas, but nothing came up, so then i just wrote in gospel and a bunch of United Way related text appeared.

I looked up cultural studies as a general search under all the archives and found many articles. One such archive included the history of the CSCL department at the U, which was founded in 1992 when the comparative literature and humanities departments combined.

The word "and" yielded over 82,000 matches in over 3,300 materials

I looked up 'theatre' and 1321 matches came up and 92 materials came up. wowies!

I searched for "Salvador Dali" and nothing came up and then I searched for "art" and 1279 matches in 414 records popped up.

I looked up "athletics" and 28 sport related articles appeared.

I looked up soccer and 20,000 matches came up and 4,500 materials were found also

When I first saw the post, I did some searching by limiting the search to Special Collections and I tried a few keywords of major authors, but I couldn't find anything! Finally, I removed the limiter and searched for "Humphrey" as in HH Humphrey and I got a few useful hits. I was concerned though that my first search failed.

I typed in Oscar Wilde, and got 10 matches in 6 materials

I typed in 'Minnesota Daily' and I got 51 matches!

I did a general search for "chimpanzee" but i only got 2 results back :(

I was not able to find information on the searches I requested.

This posting is for Margaret from November, 2006. Nicola Berardinelli was my uncle. He married my Aunt Valia Nastri.They worked together in opera with the Chicago and Denver Opera Companies as performance artists and singing coaches. They owned and operated the Berardinelli Operatic Lodge in Chicago.

During the 1940s-1950s is when my uncle Nick really shone.He had the honor on more than one occassion of directing entire opera casts, all of whom were his (and my Aunt Valia's) students.They were both involved with music and the arts until the end of the days. My cousin Zerlina, their only child, is still living. As a child, she was a stage star in dance and music. She taught piano during her active years, and continues today to play music for the elderly.

I happened to find this blog because I was researching my family members fora scholarship application to the Order Sons of Italy.
