I researched Sitting Bull . The first time I searched I left the quotation marks off. There wree 16 entries, but only one that fit the criteria of Sitting Bull. Then I did it with quotes on. It gave me the one. I clicked on the one and found a brief summery about Sitting Bull and where to find it, it also tells you what the collection covers.
I then searched midwives. I had a hard time finding any info. about midwives in SD, so I broadened it to just midwives. I did not find information for current events, but found a lot about midwives in general. It did not have a link to click on to find more info. just an area but no actual address or website. My observation is that it would be hard to find information.
This was interesting. I was unaware that Paul Revere was an artist other than in the litery sense. He did sugar urn, coffee urns, tea urns, a spoon, a coulple of bowls, a tea pot, and a salver. I am unaware what a salver is.
After searching Sioux I was thankfull for where I live. They showed costume, jewlery and art work of the Sioux. We living around Freeman can view these things firsthand at the Academy's Museum.
I chose tatting for my subject. I only had 2 choices so I added stitching. I chose 4 and made a slideshow. The picture defination was great. I could see the stitching and the brushstrokes and the detail of the pictures. I liked that it told you where the pictures came from.

You did some interesting searches! ArchiveGrid will not have current info, as it is an index to archive collections in various institutions, such as universities. Everything will be historical, and there is not much full-text or image. However, you can learn from the description, and you can contact the place that owns the item to ask about photocopies or whether you can see the item if you go there. It is really for serious history researchers. CAMIO is fun, and I'm glad you found some good stitchery examples! Library patrons and students can make good use of this resource. By the way, a salver is a tray--I had to look it up. :)
