Entry 16 - Images

It probably seemed silly to most of you that I made an argument based on Art but, in fact, failed to put give access to what those works looked like. You can easily google Nahdet Misr and find the statue but other works are harder to find. After checking with some other people, who are students or photographers, I have decided to post the photos. Be warned:

I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE PHOTOS

So, please do not copy them without including the citation of the book(s) that they came from, which is why I included citations for the books that I scanned to obtain them. They are all slightly cropped from their initial versions because of problems with scanning. I will also immediately take them down if anyone who comes across this site, and knows more about copyright law than me, notifies me that I am doing something illegal. I am not getting any payment for these images and they are solely here to be used in tandem with my research paper, which was written to fulfill a class requirement and appears as another blog post farther down. Thank you.

Entry 15-Over?

Well, so maybe this blog is not quite finished. I put up my very long paper for everyone to read but I also wanted to inform people that I am going to be reading said paper at the Phi Alpha Theta Paper Conference this weekend. I also decided to submit it for possible publishing on Clio's Purple and Gold . That is an undergraduate history journal at the University of Washington that was started by members of the history honors society Phi Alpha Theta-Delta Iota chapter. Last year I got to be an editor and now I hope that my paper gets chosen to be included in it. Its a little odd because I know almost all the people who will be reading, editing, and formatting the journal but it should be alright. Apparently none of the people I know will be actually reading submissions.

I am also thinking of applying to the Library Research Award scholarship to the "Senior non-Thesis" category. I need to ask my professor if he would be able to and willing to "sponsor" my paper for this award. It is not a ridiculous amount of money but it would be a cool thing to have a on a resume and $1000 is not too shabby. Anyways I will hopefully e-mail him soon and have other positive things to say.
