Anybody remember this story line?

WhateverLolaWants's post reminded me that I've been meaning to ask if anyone remembers those books about a young girl, who all she cared about was being an archaeologist. There were a few books about her. I can't remember the author, and a web search hasn't turned up the titles or the author. I thought it was Rosemund DuJardin (British author, I believe) but I don't think it's her. Have checked her titles.

I adored those books. They were written during an era where girls didn't often do stuff like that (have a career as an archaeologist).

This is for the over 45 crowd, dolls - I doubt those books are still in school libraries!!!

No idea about your books, but this is a good resource for girls book series:

Girls Series Book 1840-1991

There were once quite a few careers for girls series. My great aunt had boxes of them in her attic. It was like a treasure trove!

Hey thanks twitchy! Maybe I can find it. If I can't using that source, maybe I could go to the downtown library in Portland and talk to some old ladies who've worked there a million years. They might know! I'd love to re-read those books. They were fun, and interesting.

And your great aunt's attic sounds fantastic!
