SUMMARY:Diaries & Letters From the Virginia Women Writers Archive
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Manuscript Society \nManuscript Mondays – Free\, Live Webinar\nMonday\, April 1\, 2024\n8:00 pm Eastern Daylight time\nJoin Jay Gaidmore – From the Special Collections Research Center\, at the Earl Gregg Swem Library (College of William & Mary) \nWhen most people hear of a writer’s archives\, they think of books and authors. But not the Virginia Women Writers Archive at the Special Collections Research Center in the Earl Gregg Swem Library (College of William & Mary). This archive also collects diaries\, letters\, memory books\, and other unpublished materials written by women who were born or lived\, worked\, taught\, or studied in Virginia. While a majority of the collection is from the 20th Century\, there are letters and diaries from as early as 1847\, and annotated books as early as 1851. Jay Gaidmore will share many examples from the collection\, while discussing the genesis of this archive plus the collection development plan for the future. \nQ&A follows the presentation \n \nGerald “Jay” Gaidmore \n\nPresenter: \nJay Gaidmore has served as the Marian and Alan McLeod Director of the Special Collections Research Center at William & Mary Libraries since July 2013. He has twenty-five years of experience as an archivist and special collections librarian\, having worked in various positions at the Library of Virginia\, Brown University\, and UNC-Chapel Hill. He has an M.A. in History from Old Dominion University and a Master of Library and Information Sciences from the University of South Carolina-Columbia. From 2015-2021\, he was a member of the Virginia State Historical Records Advisory Board\, and currently serves as the president of the Williamsburg Historic Records Association and Trustee of The Manuscript Society.” \nTo Register:https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QxCF3uYXRbelPUZj5apjaQ\n

SUMMARY:Sarah Deutsch: California and Reframing the Making of a Modern U.S. West
DESCRIPTION:A central theme of Making a Modern U.S. West by Sarah Deutsch is the question of what would constitute a modern U.S. and whose vision would define the West and the nation. Modernity for some meant corporate consolidation\, capital intensive agriculture\, white supremacy\, male-headed families and private individual land-holding. For others\, modernity could include racial mixing\, transnational mobility\, economic democracy\, and collective ownership of land. Californians ran the full spectrum of these ideas—they fought over redwoods and irrigation\, they speculated on land and oil\, they fought over the border and who belonged on which side\, and even over who should get a say in all those things—and in doing so\, they helped define modernity for the region and the nation. \nThis presentation will address some of those issues as well as how the author tried to corral these unwieldy decades into a single volume. \nA virtual presentation by Sarah Deutsch\, author and professor of history\, Duke University \n\nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom

SUMMARY:FABS Handpress Era Zoom Group: Color Plates of Fishes and Gilbert White's Natural History
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nAll are welcome to join us for an hour of presentations and discussion of printed books and other materials before 1800. The Handpress Group meets the second Monday of each month. \nJustin Hanisch\, New evidence for an old book: errant ink markings and an updated census provide new clues to the printing history of Louis Renard’s Poissons\, ecrevisses\, et crabes \nLouis Renard’s Poissons\, ecrevisses\, et crabes (1719\, 1754\, 1782) is one of the earliest books on fishes published with coloured plates. Each of the three editions was issued by a different publisher but was printed from the same set of copperplates.  In this talk\, I will first summarize the interesting (and somewhat complicated) publishing history of this important book.  I will then detail my efforts to gather as many leaves as possible from a broken and dispersed uncoloured copy that “shouldn’t exist” and how this copy inspired new bibliographical discoveries.\nJustin Hanisch is an ecologist and collector of pre-20th century books\, manuscripts\, and ephemera on the natural and social history of fishes.  He has published works on books and book collecting with the University of Alberta Press\, Brill\, and the journal Amphora and is currently preparing a manuscript based on the talk presented here today.  He is a member of the Grolier Club and the Alcuin Society. \nJ. David Archibald\, A Biologically Influential Publishing Quirk\nThe Oxford educated Gilbert White (1720-1793) became curate for life in the small village of Selborne\, Hampshire. He was a keen observer of all the local fauna and flora describing occurrences of new species\, behaviors of birds and mammals\, and recording seasonal changes in plants and animals. Although limited to Selborne\, his work is credited as being some of the earliest attempts at ecological and phenological observations. The 1789 book of his observations The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne was much loved\, including by a ten-year-old Charles Darwin\, it is a publishing quirk. It is supposedly the fourth-most published book in the English language after the Bible\, Shakespeare\, and Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress. \nJ. David Archibald served on the faculty of Yale University and is professor emeritus of biology at San Diego State University. His field of research was the early evolutionary history of mammals\, conducting many paleontological expeditions In the western U.S. and Asia. After becoming professor emeritus he turned to the history of evolutionary thought\, especially pertaining to Charles Darwin. He is the author or coeditor of many scientific articles and books\, including four books since his retirement\, most recently in late 2021 Charles Darwin in the Reaktion Press Critical Lives series. \nContact Jennifer Larson (info@fabsocieties.org) to be added to the mailing list.

SUMMARY:Mud\, Blood\, and Ghosts: Populism\, Eugenics\, and Spiritualism in the American West
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nAn archive survives to be revived. The archive as a limit\, a thing in a box\, is always also an opening. It opens on losses sustained\, harms inflicted\, the tenacity of survival\, and on the persistence of lineages both proud and shameful. But what is it to approach an archive\, to unlock the cabinet\, lift the top off the box\, to begin to read? It is to invite a haunting\, which nevertheless begins long before we open any books. And to invite the ghosts into the open\, one must be ready to hear what they teach. \nReading from her new book\, Mud\, Blood\, and Ghosts\, and screening a short film by Carolina Ebeid that engages archival images\, Julie Carr will tell the story of her great-grandfather\, Omer Madison Kem\, a settler in Nebraska\, a founding member of the Populist Party\, a three-term Congressman\, a practicing spiritualist\, and an avid eugenicist. Kem’s final years were spent in Oregon where he owned a power company and became a passionate advocate for the forced sterilization of all those he came to believe were “unfit” to breed. This talk will focus on the ties between the American eugenics movement\, American populism\, and the American West. \nA virtual presentation by Julie Carr\, author and professor of English\, University of Colorado\, Boulder \n\nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom

SUMMARY:Robert E. Walls: Indigenous Books in the Pacific Northwest: Why Do They Matter?
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of Washington \nAbout the Event\n\n\nThe Annual Meeting is a great way to reconnect with fellow members. We transact a little business\, including making awards to students\, and enjoy a special presentation that is the inspiration for a related keepsake. The event is open to the public via Zoom. \nThis year our featured speaker is educator and scholar Robert E. Walls\, whose topic will be “Indigenous Books in the Pacific Northwest: Why Do They Matter?” His article “Indigenous Book History in the Pacific Northwest” appeared in the Spring 2023 issue of The Journal. \nThis presentation will be a short introduction to the earliest writing and publishing projects of Indigenous people in the Pacific Northwest. Many residents of the region are familiar with the diverse representations of local Indigenous lifeways\, from the elegant volumes and photographs of Edward Curtis\, to the postcards and curios of the area’s emergent tourist industry\, to ethnographic accounts by anthropologists. Yet shortly after treaties were signed in the 1850s\, Native people adopted the power of print to publish ancestral histories\, fiction\, poetry\, and political tracts from their own Indigenous perspectives. What is the history of Northwest Indigenous books? How does it relate to Indigenous writing in other areas of North America? Why does this legacy of Indigenous publishing matter? \nAbout the Speaker \nRobert Walls was born and raised in the New York City area\, but fled to the West and studied anthropology at the University of Washington. After working in a Seattle bookstore for five years\, he attended Indiana University where he received his Ph.D. From the early 1990s to 2021 he taught Indigenous Studies and Environmental Studies at Lafayette College\, the University of South Carolina\, and the University of Notre Dame. He is the author and editor of three books\, most recently Resilience Through Writing: A Bibliographic Guide to Indigenous-Authored Publications in the Pacific Northwest before 1960. He is married to the Thoreauvian scholar\, Laura Dassow Walls. The hardest thing they ever did was downsize when they recently moved back to the Northwest\, selling and donating over 10\,000 books in their collection. Fortunately\, they kept the best ones\, which they use regularly at their home in Edmonds. \nRegister here: https://www.bookclubofwashington.org/events-1/annual-meeting-with-presentation-by-robert-e-walls

SUMMARY:Jean Pfaelzer: California\, A Slave State
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nCalifornia owes its origins and sunny prosperity to slavery. Spanish invaders captured Indigenous people to build the chain of Catholic missions. Russian otter hunters shipped Alaska Natives—the first slaves transported into California—and launched a Pacific slave triangle to China. Plantation slaves were marched across the plains for the Gold Rush. San Quentin Prison incubated California’s carceral state. Kidnapped Chinese girls were sold in caged brothels in early San Francisco. Indian boarding schools supplied new farms and hotels with unfree child workers. \nBy looking west to California\, Jean Pfaelzer upends our understanding of slavery as a North-South struggle and reveals how the enslaved in California fought\, fled\, and resisted human bondage. In unyielding research and vivid interviews\, Pfaelzer exposes how California gorged on slavery\, an appetite that persists today in a global trade in human beings lured by promises of jobs but who instead are imprisoned in sweatshops and remote marijuana grows\, or sold as nannies and sex workers. \nA virtual presentation by Jean Pfaelzer\, author and professor emerita of English and American Studies\, University of Delaware \n\nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom
