Two Areas of Interest at Sheridan Libraries

Expeditions of the H.M.S. Challenger and H.M.S. Beagle -- The voyages of the H.M.S. Challenger and H.M.S. Beagle opened up new branches of science and added immense amounts of knowledge to known science. The library has many documents and materials from these expeditions.

• To locate these documents in the library catalog, do a subject keyword search for "challenger expedition." For more Challenger documents and many Beagle documents, do a subject keyword search for "expedition voyages around world."
  
• For most of the documents from the voyages of the H.M.S. Beagle, do a title search for "journal of researches into the natural history," or search for "Darwin, Charles" and choose the type of material you want from the subject headings listed.
  
  

Southern Galvanizing Company -- We have a collection of materials donated by Joe Kaufman, the former General Plant Manager of Baltimore's Southern Galvanizing Company from 1951 to 1977. The collection includes books and pamphlets on galvanizing, electroplating, metal finishing, zinc, metallurgy, and related topics.
