I like to dig in archives. I became interested in publications, titles and drawings along with pictures of people in the buildings and of the land the original Grundy county Highlander Folk School. I took screenshots of song books with titles like Songs of Field and Factory Labor Songs, Songs for Workers, and Songs of the Soil. A Guide to Community Action and other pamphlets caught my eye with their bold titles and dated fonts.
