My first thought when I saw the cards was that they were the color of bones. That, coupled with the thought of how the card catalog has become extinct in most libraries, gave me idea to create a fossil of some sort. Taking off from the definition of dinosaur as a relic, it all fell into place. As we are a medical school library, bones were fitting for our contribution. We’ve created a display in the lobby of our library spotlighting Dr. Bones, giving some background about your project and offering some information on the history of card catalogs. I’m really pleased with how it all turned out.

It includes images from a children’s encyclopedia printed in 1962. When the book is folded, the holes on each card are aligned to fit a string closing the book. I had fun making this book.

Title A name given to the resource Mildred Wirt Benson Collection Description An account of the resource Mildred Augustine Wirt Benson was an American journalist and author of children's books, in particular the earliest Nancy Drew mysteries. Writing under Stratemeyer Syndicate pen name Carolyn Keene from 1929 to 1947, she contributed to 23 of the first 30 originally published Nancy Drew mysteries. Benson was born Mildred Augustine in Ladora, Iowa to Lillian and Dr. J. L. Augustine. She married Asa Wirt, who worked for Associated Press, and, after Wirt's death in 1947, married George A. Benson, editor of the Toledo Blade newspaper of Toledo, Ohio three years later. He died in 1959. She earned her degree in English from the University of Iowa in 1925, returned and earned her master's degree in journalism in 1927, the first student to do so there. She worked for 58 years as a journalist, writing a weekly column for the Toledo Blade and continuing to work full-time (mostly writing obituaries) until a few months before her death, from lung cancer, in 2002 at the age of 96. Benson also wrote many other series, including the Penny Parker books, which were published under her own name and which she told interviewers were her favorites. This collection includes the title pages, advertisements, and tables of contents of some of the novels she wrote. There are also pictures, letters and other personal memorabilia.
