Invasion of the Library of Michigan

We got a lot done today. A whole bunch of us went to the library today, and I met with Bernadette when we arrived. She had a huge stack of citations that she thought might be useful, and gave us some pointers on how to use the indices of the Michigan Legislature records.
For about three and a half hours we scoured the library for the books and documents that we brought citations for, or that Bernadette dug up, and we recorded our findings on a big Word document that Christina will be posting. We then checked out the sources we needed to review further and got out of dodge.
We found probably the majority of state published documents concerning the highway from that era.
Bernadette had some trouble with the MDOT library loaning the plans, but she expects them to come in early next week, so I'll run in then to take a look at what she was able to snag.
Overall, very productive today.
