Hi Marge, Sorry to say I can't come on December 30. However, I'm absolutely thrilled beyond belief that you now have the Casey Collection in Burbank! Congratulations and many, many thanks from all of the Irish researching their roots. I was in San Francisco last weekend and verified that the United Irish Cultural Center also has the Casey Collection, though the librarian didn't know it when I asked, but I found it on the shelves and showed it to her. The Cultural Center is across from the SF Zoo at 47th St. and Sloat. However, the library hours are limited, so check to be sure they're open before you go. When I was there, they were open Thurs-Sun, I think. By the way, the library is very small. You can Google United Irish Cultural Center and get the phone number, directions, etc. They also have a bar there that seems to be open daily (hmmm - the pub is open more often than the library....those Irish!??) At least now there are resources north and south in California.
