Lead article in this quarter's Army History magazine is by Dr. M. Ashley Vance, whom I met as a researcher #InTheLibrary; who has spoken at the #MarshallFoundationLibrary; and who now is helping the effort to digitize the George C. Marshall Papers. So glad to call her a friend.

It's cold outside, but warm #InTheLibrary. An economics class is visiting later to learn about the Marshall Plan -- what better place than at the #MarshallFoundationLibrary?

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas #InTheLibrary! #MarshallFoundationLibrary

It's beginning to taste a lot like Christmas #InTheLibrary! Love mulled cider. #MarshallFoundationLibrary

It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas #AtTheLibrary ... until it's not! Poor Wilbear, he's got his paws over his ears! (FTR it was a test.) #MarshallFoundationLibrary

Two sections of the Virginia Military Institute U.S. Military History to 1919, taught by Dr. Joel Christenson, came to visit the library and learn about some of the #WWI collections #InTheLibrary. This is an album filled with original WWI Army Signal Corps photos. #MarshallFoundationLibrary

It is COLD and snowy at the #MarshallFoundationLibrary, but #InTheLibrary we are warm and cozy and open for research. What would you like to learn about Gen. George Marshall?

Busy week at the #MarshallFoundationLibrary. Researchers Helena, Elizabeth, and Malachi use archival records; and volunteers Eryn and Sue work on projects that make items easier to locate. Tanziha and I try to keep up #InTheLibrary!

Another semester begins today Virginia Military Institute, and I'm excited that beginning in February, the #MarshallFoundationLibrary will be open Tuesday evenings until 10 p.m. so that resources will be available #InTheLibrary for college students and faculty from the local campuses.

A #CollectionsHighlight from the #MarshallFoundationLibrary -- a recently digitized photo of Gen. George and Mrs. Katherine Marshall in formal attire to attend a function in Pinehurst, N.C., in January 1950. Snazzy dressers, they are!

It's #PublicDomainDay. U.S. Government photos, like Army Signal Corps, HAVE NO COPYRIGHT & are available from the Library of Congress, National Archives, & libraries (the #MarshallFoundationLibrary catalog: library.marshallfoundation.org/Portal/Default… ). DO NOT PAY BIG $. A friendly librarian PSA.

Yesterday 214 boxes of the George C. Marshall Papers left the #MarshallFoundationLibrary to be scanned by Backstage Library Works, the beginning of a gigantic digitization project that will make the entire collection freely available. The individual-document metadata will take several years.

There are no words. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

"When conditions are difficult, the command is depressed and everyone seems critical and pessimistic, you must be cheerful and optimistic." Maj. George C. Marshall to retired Brig. Gen. John Mallory, Nov. 1920. #MarshallWisdom from the #MarshallFoundationLibrary

All sorts of things going on outside the #MarshallFoundationLibrary today!

A rainy Friday that will finish off our almost month-old snow. A good day to be #InTheLibrary If you were at the #MarshallFoundationLibrary today, what would you be researching?

This is my final post. As a librarian, I support freedom to read & research. I support sharing information & collaboration. I cannot support the actions of the owner of this site. Please find the #MarshallFoundationLibrary on Bluesky at melissaslibrary.bsky.social & stay in touch.
