I grew up in Michigan, but never heard of the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive at the University of Michigan until I read about in an article in a "Martha Stewart Living" magazine several years ago. From the Archive's website: " The Longone Culinary Archive takes as its scope everything that influenced and influences America and everything that America influenced and influences in culinary matters. Added to this are related areas in American domestic and commercial life in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. Far more than just cookbooks, it contains a wide diversity of materials from the 16th to early 20th centuries - books, ephemera, menus, magazines, graphics, maps, manuscripts, diaries, letters, catalogues, advertisements, and reference works." Visit the library (it is moving from the Clements Library into its own building) or visit the site: http://clements.umich.edu/longone-archive.php
