Extractions: The Archaeology Lab, located in E214 Howe-Russell Geoscience Complex, is shared by two research programs in archaeology at LSU. These include Maya archaeology, under the guidance of Dr. Heather McKillop, and historical archaeology, under the guidance of Dr. Paul Farnsworth. Students and faculty work closely with the Southeastern Archaeology Program, under the guidance of Dr. Rebecca Saunders, in the Museum of Natural Sciences (16 Gym Armory Building). Graduate and undergraduate students work on faculty projects as well as their own projects. The Archaeology Lab, which consists of a complex of several rooms, offers an impressive array of opportunities for research and analysis. Artifactual material from Belize (Maya), California, Canada, Louisiana, and elsewhere is often under study by faculty and students. Facilities include a "wet-lab" for processing artifacts and laboratory equipment for study of artifacts (balances, microscopes, computers, microfilm and microfiche readers, and drafting tables, for example). Field equipment for faculty and graduate student use is available for surveying and excavation. Often, simultaneous field projects are carried out in Louisiana and beyond. The Quaternary Paleoecology Laboratory is equipped with four fume hoods for processing pollen and sediment samples. Other lab and field equipment includes an oven, furnace, a clinical centrifuge, an electronic balance, a refrigerator, an increment borer, a piston lake sediment corer and 30m of extension rods, an Acker diamond core drill for hard-rock drilling, a Russian peat corer, sonar, an Ekman's dredge, three rubber boats, and an outboard motor.

Extractions: More Information Maps are one of the many sources you may need to complete a family tree. In genealogical research, maps can provide clues to where our ancestors may have lived and where to look for written records about them. Beginners should master basic genealogical research techniques before starting to use topographic maps. Introductory books on genealogy suggest timesaving ways to plan, gather, organize, and record findings. To learn basic genealogical research techniques, it's best to start with the most concise, easy-to-read books, gazetteers, articles, pamphlets, and other sources that apply directly to the kind of research you plan to do. Books on the shelves of your local library may not include those that will best serve your purpose. However, many libraries and bookstores have the latest edition of Books in Print. Its subject guide gives the titles, authors, publishers, and prices of hundreds of books on genealogy. Many libraries also have directories that give the names and addresses of local, State, regional, and national associations of genealogists, historians, and ethnic groups.

Genealogy: German Migration To Argentina One popular region for German emigrants was the state of Chaco gazetteers,atlases and Maps. gazetteers; atlases; Maps. Top of document http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/WELT/argentina.html
Extractions: One popular region for German emigrants was the state of Chaco: The Chaco is a very uninviting region of South America, mostly in Paraguay and Argentina, but also partly in Bolivia. It is often referred to as the Green Hell on Earth. It is flat country in Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. The Rio Paraguay separates the two countries for a while, before the river turns north to Brazil. The border between the nations then follows the Rio Pilcomayo, which one can walk across. In the summertime, temperatures in the Chaco can reach 50C (about 125F). There is very little rain even less further north. In Paraguay, the lower Chaco adjacent to the Rio Paraguay is a series of floodplains, which floods every year to a depth of a foot or two but a hundred miles in extent. The region supports large populations of wildlife. Farther west, and north, the Chaco supports a pygmy forest, whose trees and plants are armed with razor-sharp needles. The area is uninhabitable. Two-thirds of Paraguay is Chaco, but it contains less than 2% of the population. Jaguars abound (

Collection Development Policy: Reference: Holland Library of regional and thematic (eg, historical, economic, linguistic) atlases. O. gazetteers and Place Name Sources The reference department collects http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/cdc/HumanitiesSocialSciences/refHoll.html
Extractions: Holland Library (Humanities, Social Sciences, Business, and the Arts) I. INTRODUCTION Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for the development and maintenance of the reference collection in Holland Library. It provides collection development guidelines in terms of subject scope, depth of coverage, and types of materials to be included. In recognition of the machine-readable formats available and the increasing importance of the internet in academic libraries, this policy characterizes and documents the integration of these alternative formats into the Holland reference collections. This policy also clarifies procedures for acquiring new resources and for weeding to ensure a useful, timely, and accessible reference collection. The central purposes of the reference collection are: 1) to provide reference resources in support of the university's academic programs, and 2) to enable professional librarians to provide quality reference services in support of the university's mission, including teaching, research and public service needs. Although Holland references purview has been the humanities and social sciences, business, and the arts, the WSU Libraries web presence (as well as the computer workstations now available in the reference area) are changing Holland references essential business. Although Holland traditionally has been considered the de facto undergraduate library as well as the humanities and social sciences library, the Libraries web presence has resulted in an increase of general questions overall and especially questions in other subjectsviz., the sciences, agricultural science, and health sciences. At the reference desk, Holland librarians are fielding more general research questions and doing more referrals.
