Help Wanted: Participate in Research
Dr. Stanley B. Kimball (Department of History, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, IL 62026) is researching what might have happened to some of the Egyptian mummies and papyri owned by the Saints at Kirtland, Ohio, in the 1830's. His aim is to examine all local newspapers in the United States during the period May-December, 1856, in hopes of finding a reference to where those artifacts were sent at that time. Anyone with library access to any local newspaper of the period indicated, who is willing to scan the relevant issues in aid of this project, should write to Dr. Kimball.
