Still really unsure about how to do the archive thing. How do you know enough about what's in an archive to write a prospectus and make a case that you need to be there?
I checked out the catalog in the Beinecke library today. They have small "but significant" holdings in German. It does look like they have quite a few prayers and sermons that could be useful for looking into angels. I even saw some prayers to guardian angels that look promising. There's also an alchemy collection with recipes & such.

Researching with Technology
Went to an excellent workshop on utilizing web 2.0 applications to facilitate research. A very timely topic for me, as I'm reevaluating (actually considering for the first time) how to organize sources, notes, etc. Too many times, I've misplaced a file, or forgotten where that information about the archive was located on the web.
In order to remedy this chaotic state of affairs, I've signed up with bubbl.us to help to to organize my thoughts (bye-bye scraps of paper!) and with diigo to organize my links. These tools, my beloved Google dashboard, and this blog should help me to keep me on task, and my life at a glance.
We shall see!
