I need to thank you for the great information you publish
John Pearce, Sr. Lecturer, Historic Preservation, Mary Washington College

Dear Sir,
I am happy to report that I saw an advert on the Global Museum, and replied
to it. Lo and behold, I was accepted for the position, and am now working
away at accessioning thousands of books, periodicals and sheet music! Thank
you. The position is a year's internship, so I'll eventually be searching
again for a more substantial position, but know that Global Museum will be
there to help me out. Thank you.
yours ever, a fond subscriber, Sean McGraw March 2nd 2002
Congratulations with this terrific initiative & brilliant site!
Sincerely, Caroline Van Steenberge, Belgium March 14th 2002
