First off, sorry if I posted in the wrong thread. I know some of you are historians, so I was hoping this would be the correct place to post. If I'm wrong, I apologize.
Okay so here we.
This past summer I did an internship at a local historical site. I did about 10 hours a week because I had a paying job and I got off about two hours before they closed. They said they were okay with this.
I have been volunteering for said site for over 4 years now. Along with my internship I've helped with a few events and school programs. For my internship I helped--the curator was very anal and wouldn't really let me get to handle anything--set up their civil war exhibit that opened in July. I was also helping them prepare a slavery exhibit by looking at old newspapers through the microfilm to look at runaway slave adds.
Now I need my letter of recommendation.
I called the curator in October (it might have actually been in September) and he said it wouldn't be a problem. I knew they had events coming up so I told him I would wait.
So I have.
I called in November, left him a message. I didn't get a response.
I sent him an email...again no response.
I sent him a message via facebook. Still no answer.
I am very frusterated and don't know what to do now. I kind of need the letter, but of course I don't want him to get pissed off and write me a bad one.
What should I do now? Should I just let it alone and give up?
