Baltimore's Hawaiian Room at the Emerson Hotel - MAJOR DEVELOPMENT!!! - General Tiki

I have contacted the Enoch Pratt library in Baltimore which is supposed to be one of the best around. Any ideas on how to get started? Databases I need to explore? Photo achives? I haven't done research since college and I'm a little behind the times when it comes to looking things up - I think it also has a lot to do with the laziness the internet instills in us. Do newspapers have a searchable database that goes back all the way to the 50's?? Do libraries keep old phone books?? Help! JohnTiki Aloha from the enchanted Pi Yi Grotto in exotic Bel Air Maryland!
