SUMMARY:Tim Gress on Collector Burton Emmett and American Book Design
DESCRIPTION:During the First World War the American Red Cross mobilized fundraising with the slogan “All you need is a heart and a dollar.” It was so successful that it was quickly displayed all over the country on billboards\, posters\, in newspapers\, and more. \nThat catchphrase was the inspiration of Burton Emmett — a former book agent\, newspaper editor\, reporter\, and theatrical press agent who had become an advertising executive. \nBut his heart lay in collecting. Art and books. Preferably beautifully designed books. \nSome of the Emmett collection will be on display as part of an exhibition called The Touch of Art: American Book Design 1880–1930 at the University of North Carolina’s Wilson Library\, but you won’t need to book a trip to Chapel Hill to catch a look at it. Instead\, you’ll enjoy a guided tour\, with special background about Emmett. All from Tim Gress\, who is curating the exhibition. \nGress is a PhD student and Graduate Teaching Fellow whose research focuses in part on the history of the book. He also serves as a graduate assistant in the Rare Book Collection at the Wilson. \nIf you like stories of collecting\, great book design\, and hearing the inside scoop about a carefully curated exhibition\, then you’ll want to register. No dollar required. It’s free! \nClick here to register. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Charles W. Chesnutt: Symposium (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Western Reserve Historical Society\, The Northern Ohio Bibliophilic Society\, The Rowfant Club\, Charles W. Chesnutt Digital Archive\, The Cuyahoga County Public Library\, and the Cleveland Public Library. \nThe Second Charles W. Chesnutt Symposium [In Person Only] \nSaturday\, September 26\, 2026  \n8:00 AM through 5:30 PM \nAt the Western Reserve Historical Society\, Cleveland\, Ohio  \nRegistration Fee: $80.00 for standard participants and $50.00 for full time students \nFully Refundable Date: August 15\, 2026 \nhttps://www.chesnutt2026.com or www.rowfant.org \nCharles W. Chesnutt (1858-1932) was arguably the most important African American author (fiction\, essays and advocacy) to ply his trade in America between Reconstruction and the Harlem Renaissance; he was certainly the most important author to come from Ohio during this period\, and his influence was clearly national. It is also important to note that several of his novels were not published until 50 years after his death\, largely because they were considered too provocative for their time.  \nFeaturing presentations by: \nStephanie Browner\, PhD: The New School  \nTess Chakkalakal\, PhD: Bowdoin College  \nCharles Duncan\, PhD: William Peace University  \nWilliam Hardwig\, PhD: University of Tennessee Knoxville  \nKenneth M. Price\, PhD: University of Nebraska Lincoln  \nRegennia Williams\, PhD: Western Reserve Historical Society Cleveland  \nThere will also be opportunities to see the Rowfant Club of Cleveland\, take a white-glove tour of the Chesnutt archives\, and interact with the Cleveland community. Continental breakfast and a full buffet luncheon will be served; local accommodation will be available near the Case Western Reserve University campus\, including the Glidden House. \nCosponsors: The Western Reserve Historical Society\, The Northern Ohio Bibliophilic Society\, Charles W. Chesnutt Digital Archive\, The Cuyahoga County Public Library\, and the Cleveland Public Library. \nhttps://chesnuttarchive.org/ \nQuestions? email cuw123@aol.com  \n
