Description
Summary:This past summer I was able to travel to New York City from 5 July to 12 July. My initial plan was to stay a few days in a hotel and a few in a student hostel. However, I saved money by networking with a few of my father’s contacts and found an LDS family (BYU alumni) to host me while I was staying in the city. It was very helpful to have a New Yorker to guide me through my first few days in the city. I spent the first day navigating the library and acquiring and completing the necessary documents to request access to the archive materials I wished to see. I was permitted to research in the Berg Collection of English and American Literature at the Schwartzman main branch of the New York Public Library. Here, I found the librarians helpful and was pleased with my experiences.
