Chasing the Giuliani Papers
That Rudolph Giuliani was mayor of New York City is a matter of
public record. At least, we think it is. You see, Mr. Giuliani took City
Hall's records of his administration with him when he left office and locked
them — hundreds of boxes' worth — in a warehouse in Queens. There, only
paper mites and people employed by the private, nonprofit organization
bearing his name have ready access to them.

No expense spared when royalty dined
BY SARAH WOMACK
LONDON--Chopped sparrow and roasted swan may not be today's idea of
sophisticated or even acceptable cuisine, but there was a time when such dishes
delighted the palates of English aristocracy.
The recipes appear in what is thought to be the earliest printed cookbook in English,
newly discovered at Longleat House in Wiltshire, home to the Marquess of Bath.

Museum to bring back Ocean View of the past
By MIKE KNEPLER
NORFOLK -- Hurricanes, fires, dynamite, bulldozers. Sometimes it seems like
everything that happens knocks down another piece of old Ocean View.
The Ocean View that was once home to an amusement park, resort hotels,
summer cottages, amateur boxing, monied vacationers and hardworking
fishermen.
But in one form or another, Ocean View struggles back. Even relics that were
packed away in cardboard boxes are reappearing.

Money Granted to Study How It Was Lost
By ANDREW ZIPERN
ust when it seemed that lamentations of the dot-com meltdown had
finally faded, an assistant business professor and a surviving Internet
executive have opened an academic mausoleum for the official blueprints
that started 1,000 ill-fated Internet businesses.
Backed by a $300,500 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the
Business Plan Archive is a Web-based repository for business plans and
related documents from the dot-com era.

The Giuliani Archive
To the Editor:
Re "Chasing the Giuliani Papers" (editorial, June 25): The purpose of having
a private, professional archivist to archive the mayor's papers is to make them
available to the public in an accessible manner far more quickly than the
years it usually takes New York City to archive mayoral documents. The city
is still working on the papers of David N. Dinkins, although his
administration ended more than eight years ago.

Smithsonian Conservation Team Spiffs Up Star-Spangled Banner
By LEILA ABBOUD
WASHINGTON -- Every workday for the past year, Smithsonian conservator Diane Kessler has pulled on surgical scrubs, a lab coat and canvas sneakers before carefully stepping onto a movable platform the size of a small stage that hovers three inches above the Star-Spangled Banner.
She and seven other curators spend much of their day kneeling or lying on their bellies as they carefully measure, clip stitches and daub the tattered flag with cosmetic sponges to lift off the grime.

The ER For the Nation's History
Archivists Give Papers New Life
By Bret Schulte
The National Archives at College Park radiates a sense ofintrigue normally lacking in our houses of government affairs. It is sleek -- all planes and angles, except for a foyer that comes sweeping out across the courtyard. The bright steel-and-glass facade reflects a grove of protective trees. Armed guards watch the doors.
One might say the place looks dangerous. Mary Lynn Ritzenthaler, the newly promoted chief of the document conservation laboratory, confirms the grim truth about the facility, known as Archives II. "Paper cuts? Probably a lot," she says. "We have had no fatal accidents, though."

1710 deed delights recipient
By SHERYL SHAPIRO
In a room filled with artifacts of U.S. history — including a Charleville musket used by the colonists in the Revolutionary War, a surgeon's amputation kit from 1862 and a signed photograph of Abraham Lincoln — John Cipollina, a Pleasantville dentist and collector of Americana, met Stuart MacPherson, a genealogist from Glastonbury, Conn., to exchange 18th-century documents.
