Interning at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site

This summer, Connor Marsherall (senior, History & Political Science major) completed an internship in Public History at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site in Buffalo.

One of the highlights of  Connor's internship was his work in researching and then digitizing an historical artifact--rendering the score of Charles Coleman's 1898 march, "The Charge of the Roosevelt Rough Riders," as a sound recording. The march commemorates Roosevelt's role as a military leader in the Spanish-American War. 
 

You can read more about Connor's internship at the blog post he wrote for the TR Site blog, "Making Sheet Music Come Alive," which also includes a digitized recording of the Coleman's score.
