{{stale}}

Looking for a copy of the article entitled ''"Five Women Members of Harvard Unit Cited as Worthy of Special Mention"''. It's very likely that the article was printed in other newspapers. I'm working on [[Carrie Hall]]. Thank you kindly. --[[User:Meanderingbartender|Meanderingbartender]] ([[User talk:Meanderingbartender|talk]]) 01:12, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

:{{Ping group|Anyone with access to newspaperarchive.com|Bruce1ee|MrLinkinPark333}}: The same story, or at least one containing the words "women" "special mention" "Harvard" and "Miss C. Hall", is on page 2 of the December 29, 1917 ''Bakersfield Californian''. Can someone clip it for {{U|Meanderingbartender}}? --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 03:10, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

::{{ping|Meanderingbartender}} email me for a jpg of the ''Bakersfield Californian'' article, titled "Nurses Are Cited by General Haig". It isn't as useful as a clipping, which our readers could download freely, but it may suffice for your purposes. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 06:41, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

::{{reply to|Meanderingbartender|Worldbruce}} I've clipped "Nurses Are Cited by General Haig" from that newspaper. You should see it [https://newspaperarchive.com/bruce-tu-other-articles-clipping-dec-29-1917-625265/ here]. —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]]^{[[User talk:Bruce1ee|''talk'']]} 08:00, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

:::{{reply to|Bruce1ee|Worldbruce}} Thank you kindly for the article. I'll use it as a reference for the citation, but I believe the Herald has more details on the actions that were used for the citation. So I'm still hoping to get a copy of that. --[[User:Meanderingbartender|Meanderingbartender]] ([[User talk:Meanderingbartender|talk]]) 17:13, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

::::{{u|Meanderingbartender}}, you might try emailing the writer of [http://www.cowhampshireblog.com/2016/06/30/chief-nurse-of-ww1-expeditionary-forces-red-cross-chief-nurse-harvard-unit-peter-bent-brigham-hospital-school-of-nursing-founder-national-association-president-and-pioneer-of-american-nursing/ this blog], which quotes the article at length.

== Book about the Elliston family ==

Hello. I am looking for ''The Elliston, Ellison family'' by Bertha Bazemore Elliston ([https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/608648599 OCLC 608648599]). Only a few clips are viewable on Google Books and it's not available on Amazon or Ebay. Could someone please help me find a copy? Please ping me when you reply. Thank you.[[User:Zigzig20s|Zigzig20s]] ([[User talk:Zigzig20s|talk]]) 16:09, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

:[[User:Zigzig20s|Zigzig20s]], according to [https://www.worldcat.org/title/elliston-ellison-family/oclc/20243141?referer=br&ht=edition Worldcat], it is available in some U.S. libraries. I haven't been able to find it anywhere for sale, and it appears that it used to be distributed directly by the author at some point (https://www.ancestry.co.uk/boards/surnames.elliston/43.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx). So I would assume there is no way around consulting one of the holding libraries if you want to get hold of a copy. Best, —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 19:04, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

::That's a tough one. I've just looked for it on the HathiTrust Digital Library and it says, "[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89082428285;q1=%22The%20Elliston%2C%20Ellison%20family%22 This item is not available online ( Limited - search only) due to copyright restrictions."] Are we sure there is no other way?[[User:Zigzig20s|Zigzig20s]] ([[User talk:Zigzig20s|talk]]) 20:49, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

:::Added the OCLC above, showing 17 copies in the United States (none elsewhere). --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 05:35, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

::::—It's certainly unlucky if you happen to be on the West Coast! Nearly 2,000 miles form the nearest copy...
