Annual Report 2011

e NHA is about much more than simply preserving artifacts and buildings.

It is also about our people and programs. Without the latter two parts, we are merely a collection with no stories or energy. Research, interpretive programs, publications, and a healthy happy staff, well supported with the most current technology, all combine to make Nantucket’s heritage come alive. —William J. Tramposch 2

EXPECTATIONS

Celebrating our Places, Programs, and People At a certain time of our island’s year, the fog sits in banks oﬀ our coasts. It waits there until nightfall and then it joins us here on our elbow of sand. It wraps us up in the night and to some degree along with it seem to come the legions of legendary figures that make up Nantucket’s rich history. A walk down any lane convinces. Just when the place seems more remote than ever, there come these almost audible voices from the past. History is in the very air we breathe on Nantucket. Our streets throb with it, especially on nights like these. History attracts us to this place, whether we are year-round residents, seasonal residents, or day visitors. History is a community value we all share here on our island—a National Historic Landmark.

Strategic Plan Goals, 2008–13

Your Nantucket Historical Association grows more vigorous every year, and in 2011 we worked strenuously to exceed expectations. Let’s look at that year through the three windows of Places, Programs, and People.

Programs The NHA will design and deliver engaging, artifact-based educational exhibitions, programs, and activities pertaining to Nantucket history and its material culture. Strategies include enhancing our interpretive programs at our historic properties, promoting our exhibition and program schedules, and encouraging and monitoring participation in our programs by the community.

Places •

Greater Light, the former summer home of the Monaghan sisters, was restored and reopened, and now serves as an interpretive gateway to Nantucket’s rebirth as an art colony and resort.

•

Our historic properties are an important part of our collections, and today far more of our artifact collections are on display within these properties. While most U.S. museums display only about five percent of their collections, the NHA will soon have trebled that number.

•

The Research Library and the Gosnold Center storage facility are visited regularly on special public tours, and more of our artifact, document, and image collections are digitized than ever before. Using our online databases, people around the world can access and appreciate them.

•

Collections & Properties The NHA will develop and manage its collections, including its properties, in order to enhance its role as a leader in preserving and interpreting Nantucket history. Strategies include continuing to document our collections and properties, expanding access to collections, and continuing to build collections that capture the history of Nantucket Island and its people.

Through the generosity and foresight of the Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association and donors of artifacts, documents, and images, the NHA continues to strengthen its core collection in alignment with our Mission.

Programs •

Our gateway film Nantucket drew more than eight hundred people to the memorable premiere at Children’s Beach and attracted thousands to the Whaling Museum throughout the year.

•

Our new department of Visitor Experience focuses on the effect we have on our guests and how we might serve them better with interpretive and public programs that are both enjoyable and educational. The annual History Quiz Bowl is a sterling example; hosted by historian/writer Nathaniel Philbrick, this event brings together an enthusiastic array of island residents in a test of wits and knowledge about Nantucket history.

•

Audiences & Access The NHA will reach out and serve diverse audiences as a year-round organization. Strategies include developing programs, both contemporary and historical, that reflect,

Collaborations with on- and off-island cultural partners reached an all-time high. Consequently, our audiences have become more diverse, and collaborators increasingly view our venues as resources. A good example of this is our collaboration with the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket, which brought us successive packed houses for Orson Welles’s “Moby-Dick Rehearsed,” which will be offered again this year.

respect, and engage the diversity of Nantucket residents, and promoting these programs year round.

Organizational Effectiveness

Lifelong learning programs at the NHA’s 1800 House continued to grow, with a promising 2012 ahead as we cultivate interest and nurture skills in traditional Nantucket arts and crafts.

The NHA will secure and prudently manage the human and financial resources required to support its

Mission and Strategic Plan. Strategies

To many supporters, the NHA embodies the people who work here. Members and friends often comment on the commitment and enthusiasm of our staff, and the staff is grateful for this response. They work hard, and they all share an intense interest in the visitor experience.

•

Member benefits increased to include a greater number and scope of activities, including behind-the-scenes tours of our properties, collections, and exhibitions, which are offered especially for our valued members.

•

Our board of trustees strengthened the work of its committees, which include Education, Collections, Development, Finance, Governance, Communications, and Properties and Housing, whose work is at the core of the association’s well-being.

•

With the support of the board, the NHA expanded its options for the professional development of staff. Annual “class trips” now punctuate our year, as last year the entire administrative and interpretive staff visited the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Strategically chosen professional-development seminars and participation in annual meetings have also increased and, as a result, benefited us tremendously, while also raising the NHA’s visibility as a national leader in museums.

We have big plans for 2012, all of which will be within the focus of our Mission and the four tenets of the Strategic Plan; all have our Places, Programs, and People centrally in mind. We are most grateful for your support and advice along the way. All who read this 2011 Annual Report should take satisfaction in the fact that your direct involvement and dedication to our cause have made the NHA the remarkable institution it has become and, more significant, one that has a great future.

THOUGHTS

A View to the Future of our Places, Programs, and People When it comes to the long-term health of our association, the NHA’s Board of Trustees has been focused largely on matters of “sustainability” and “legacy.” We who support the association experience, on a near-daily basis, the rich heritage of Nantucket as represented in our twenty-two historic properties. How, then, do we ensure that those who follow us will enjoy the same privilege? Everyone on Nantucket who owns a house is aware of the cost of maintenance that it demands; multiplied by twenty-two,

Janet L. Sherlund President Board of Trustees

the prospects become daunting indeed. Our concerns for sustainability and legacy, however, are not limited to our historic properties, our places, alone. ey also apply to our people and to the programs we offer to our growing and increasingly engaged public. How do we ensure that those programs retain their viability? How can we be confident that our professional staff will be selfsustaining on an island with such high costs of housing and the necessities of life? In addition, how can we continue to offer development opportunities for our exceptional staff to grow professionally? ese are the kinds of questions a board should focus on, and I am pleased to tell you that during the next several years our efforts to resolve these problems will be redoubled, all for the sake of “preserving and interpreting Nantucket history”—not just for our benefit but to enhance the lives of those who follow us to this special place. We continue to be grateful for your support of our efforts, and we hope that you are encouraged by the ongoing growth of our esteemed Nantucket Historical Association, now a hundred and eighteen years old.

COLLECTIONS & EXHIBITIONS

Preserving and presenting Nantucket history A remarkable curatorial year began with the April opening of the exhibition Eastman Johnson and His Contemporaries: An Exhibition of Late-NineteenthCentury Masters on Nantucket in the Research Library’s Whitney Gallery. Created by one of America’s foremost genre and portrait painters of the time, In the Fields (1878–79) was among Johnson’s paintings included in the exhibition, along with his contemporary George Inness’s Back of Nichols’ Barn, ’Sconset (1873). Both of these notable works were donated to the NHA by the Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association in 1998 and 2011, respectively. The publication of Island Treasures: Gifts of the Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association, 1986–2011, written by Benjamin Simons, the NHA’s Robyn & John Davis Chief Curator, celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association and recognized their significant gifts to the collections. 8

Nantucket’s Cabinet of Curiosities: A to Z, the major exhibition in the Whaling Museum’s Peter Foulger Gallery, opened with a wellattended Members Preview in May. Inspired by Nantucket’s early museums, the exhibition showcased iconic curios, oddities, and treasures from the NHA collections, many of which were displayed for the first time in years. Special interactive aspects included watching videos of old Nantucket, operating the Nantucket Railroad model, smelling ambergris and spermaceti at the artifact station, and writing Nantucket postcards at the vintage post-office counter.

Throughout the year, curatorial programs focused on providing members and visitors with access and insights into the collections and exhibitions. Among them were the “Members Mornings,” private curator-led tours of the two exhibitions; Acquisitions Evenings, highlighting recent important additions to the artifact and document collections; and “The Hidden Museum: Behind the Scenes,” a four-part series of insiders tours of the Gosnold Center, Research Library, and Greater Light.

In 2011, the Friends acquired Back of Nichols’ Barn, ’Sconset, 1883, by George Inness (1825–94), which was purchased with additional support from the NHA Acquisition Fund and the Max and Heidi Berry Acquisition Fund. The painting is included in the exhibition Eastman Johnson and His Contemporaries, which is continuing through 2012 in the Whitney Gallery at the NHA Research Library. In addition, the Friends purchased a watercolor of the whaleship Washington, 1825, by William Wilkes Morris (1780–1847), which is displayed in the Whaling Museum.

“I spent several days at the Research Library in early August, and I wanted to thank everyone for their help with my research project.

RESEARCH

LIBRARY

RL2011.25

Expanding access to the document and image collections As the principal repository of Nantucket’s historical record, the Research Library is a remarkable resource for scholars, authors, students, family researchers, and institutions worldwide to access information directly from the NHA’s online databases or with research assistance from the library staff. The library’s collection encompasses more than 5,000 volumes and 60,000 photographs as well as archival documents such as ships’ logs, maps, account books, family papers, and scrapbooks. Almost a hundred accessions of documents and images were processed in 2011. Of note, they included a collection of Nantucket portraits, among them a stereographic daguerreotype and two rare portraits on patent leather of Thomas Starbuck (RL2011.52), as well as a collection of some 3,600 slides of Nantucket scenes, events, and people in the 1990s. Almost half of the 60,000 photographs in the collection have been scanned—including 1,500 new images in 2011—and can be viewed at the NHA Web site. Photo archive processes more than 300 requests for images a year, with patrons representing a wide range of interests. Nantucket property owners seeking historic photographs of their houses are the largest group, followed by other island nonprofits, such as the Nantucket Preservation Trust; regional, national, and international magazines and newspapers; television and documentary films; and authors and publishers of books ranging from Tuck’t In: A Walking Tour of Historic Prospect Hill Cemetery to Balloons over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy’s Parade.

Annual Report 2011

Book Celebrates Turn-of-theCentury ’Sconset At the turn of the twentieth century, ’Sconset was a spirited summer actors colony that attracted many of the major Broadway and movie stars of the era—Digby Bell, Harry Woodruff, Mrs. G. H. Gilbert, Isabel Irving, Lotta Linthicum, and Percy Haswell—who brought their theatrical talents to this quaint village by the sea. The ’Sconset Actors Colony: Broadway Offshore, by Betsy Tyler, NHA Research Fellow and Obed Macy Research Chair, celebrates this lively period of Nantucket history. The NHA launched the new publication with a festive book-signing party. Hosted in conjunction with On the Isle’s summer schedule of theatrical programs, the party transported guests back in time as they “mingled” with some of the great actors of the period and enjoyed a few performance surprises and appearances by costumed actors. The ’Sconset Actors Colony: Broadway Offshore was published in conjunction with the NHA’s ’Sconset History Research Group. The book is available at the Museum Shop and online.

Funded by a grant from the Nantucket Community Preservation Committee, the ongoing digitization of the NHA’s oral-history collection is an initiative that is both preserving fragile audio- and videotapes and home movies as well as increasing public access to the digitized copies. Several hundred audiotapes can now be accessed from the Web site, while almost fifty movies, some dating back to the 1920s, can be seen on the YouTube channel for Nantucket history. Among them is a 1937 movie of puppeteer Tony Sarg’s Nantucket sea monster.

We are grateful to the Judys and to our many generous donors who have committed more than $800,000 toward endowment of the position. We will continue to build on this substantial founding base, raising additional funds toward our ultimate goal of $1.5 million, which is needed to fund the Macy Chair as a full-time position.

LIGHT

Gateway to the Art Colony and Resort Era

Art Auction Contributors The Nantucket Historical Association thanks the following individuals and businesses for their inspired and generous donations: Joan Albaugh, Winter Light Susan Boardman, For Love and Beauty Elle Foley, Greater Light

Following two years of thoughtful restoration, Greater Light and its charming garden were reopened July 20 with a community open house attended by some 300 people. Visitors explored the unusual property and its furnishings and reveled in the stories of Quaker sisters Hanna and Gertrude Monaghan, who lovingly transformed a livestock barn into a whimsical residence and salon for the arts in the 1930s.

Margaret Fox, Garden Party

Celebration of this icon of the early Nantucket art colony and resort era began with the Whaling Museum’s Gosnell Hall being transformed into Greater Light’s patio for a one-act dramatic monologue, “Hanna’s Soliloquy.” Inspired by Hanna’s writings, this monologue was performed by Grace Noyes. Setting the mood for the evening were Beverly Hall’s photographs of the property.

In the spirit of the Monaghan sisters, Greater Light was also the setting for a magical garden party and art auction on a perfect summer evening. Taking their inspiration from the property, some of Nantucket’s most renowned artists created works in a multitude of media, contributing them for exhibition and auction in support of the property’s restoration and interpretation. In addition, Greater Light-inspired velvet-and-silk scarves, designed and made by the 1800 House staff and volunteers, were available for purchase at both events. Throughout the summer, Greater Light continued to be alive with activity—as part of the popular new daily Historic House Walking Tour, during regular visitor hours, for private parties, during the Nantucket Garden Club’s Annual Open House and Garden Tour, and as the site for Master Art Classes taught in collaboration with the Artists Association of Nantucket. Using the “Meet the Monaghans” interactive touch-screen computer program, visitors can move through rooms and gardens, view historic images of the property, and hear oral histories about the Monaghans.

N HA 1800 HOU S E:

Art Inspired by Nantucket History Dedicated to celebrating and reviving Nantucket’s rich tradition of historic decorative arts and crafts, the NHA’s 1800 House program offered nearly fifty one-day to multiday classes—from woodworking and rug hooking, to needlework, sailors valentines, and decorative painting—from June to October. A summer reception featured a silent auction of one-of-a-kind crafts contributed by the instructors and students. Off-season activities included a popular series of evening workshops in the fall and open studio sessions in the winter. Overall, more than 300 students participated in the classes taught by artisans from Nantucket and beyond at the NHA’s restored nineteenth-century property. For the program schedule, visit www.nha.org/1800house, or call (508) 228–7785.

EXPERIENCE

Engaging audiences through programs and outreach With a commitment to widening audiences through educational, interpretive, outreach, and public programs, the NHA undertook numerous ambitious initiatives in 2011, all focused on enhancing the visitor experience. Throughout the year, more than 51,000 people visited the Whaling Museum and historic properties, about 2,700 went on walking tours, and some 6,000 people participated in the NHA’s eighty-four public programs. The “visitor experience” often begins even before a person walks into the Whaling Museum. Last summer, a family may have read a magazine article about the premiere of the Nantucket film and then checked for the film schedule at www.nha.org, which led them to a new Historic Houses Walking Tour, Hands-on History for children, or a lecture by Simon Winchester, a visiting author. Welcomed at the museum by visitor services, they may have spent much of the day exploring the exhibits and enjoying the daily programs before continuing on to the Old Mill, where they saw corn ground into meal as it has been since 1746. Every program they participated in, every interpreter they interacted with, and every story they heard brought Nantucket history to life. For that family,

and every visitor, the NHA strives to provide meaningful experiences—those “I-never-knew” moments—that leave them satisfied as well as looking forward to their next visit. With the goal of creating just such experiences, the NHA expanded its collaborations with nonprofits to provide the island community—from year-round and seasonal residents to day-trippers—with vibrant ways to experience Nantucket history. Collaborations at the museum ranged from “Recollections on the Home Front,” a World War II–era gam offered as part of the One Book One Island reading project led by the Nantucket Atheneum, to “Moby-Dick Rehearsed,” a dramatic play presented by the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket, Nantucket Atheneum, and the African Meeting House. Outreach to Nantucket youth reached a new level of participation in 2011. As the NHA’s visiting artist-in-residence, literary hip-hop artist MC Lars entertained at Nantucket’s schools; the Walden Chamber Orchestra presented concerts and music-education programs; and the 1800 House staff held traditional crafts programs at the Nantucket Boys and Girls Club. Throughout the year, school groups from Nantucket and off-island were frequent visitors to the museum and historic properties. The association awarded the first NHA Scholarship as well as the ninth Erwin L. Greenberg Book Award to graduating seniors. In addition, members of the NHA staff joined with the Nantucket Public Schools Steering Committee and consulted on the development of the high school’s new Nantucket history course.

EXPERIENCE

Nantucket Draws Crowds to Community Premiere and Whaling Museum Nearly eight hundred people filled Children’s Beach Park for the July 1 community premiere of the NHA’s gateway film Nantucket, which was written and produced by Emmy Award–winning filmmaker Ric Burns. Laden with blankets, beach chairs, and picnic suppers, eager movie-goers arrived early to stake their claim in front of the huge outdoor screen. An afternoon of free, family-friendly, history-based activities—live music, crafts, games, trivia, face painting, a community art project, and a photo booth—kept everyone engaged until sunset, when the screen came alive with the evocative opening music and aerial scenes of Nantucket. By year end, more than 16,000 people had seen the film at the Whaling Museum, each leaving with a broader perspective on Nantucket. Garnering wide media coverage, the film was the buzz on the street all summer. People flocked to the museum especially to see the film—often with standing room only—boosting museum attendance by 12 percent over the previous summer. “The story of Nantucket resonates far and wide,” said Burns. “It is more than a summer playground, and my goal was to offer an opportunity for people to truly understand the global role that the island played throughout history.” Showcasing both the island’s natural beauty and its significant role in global history, Nantucket provides a transformative gateway experience for island visitors as well as residents. The film’s breathtaking cinematography is complemented by commentary by islanders, historians, and writers, including best-selling author Nathaniel Philbrick of Nantucket, all of whom share personal stories and unique insights. Nantucket is shown twice daily at the Whaling Museum and is available on DVD from the Museum Shop or at www.nantucketmuseumshop.org.

From the top: Filmmaker Ric Burns and Janet Sherlund, NHA president, at a special sneak preview of Nantucket held at the Whaling Museum in conjunction with the Nantucket Film Festival for supporters of the film and festival.

MC Lars: Literary Hip-Hop Comes to Nantucket As visitng artist-in-residence at the NHA, literary hip-hop artist MC Lars aroused the creative power of music and literature in his high-energy workshops and classroom visits with Nantucket youth. Working intensively with students at all three Nantucket Public Schools, the Nantucket New School, the Nantucket Lighthouse School, and the Nantucket Boys & Girls Club, Lars taught them about hip-hop and poetry, helped them create their own raps, and got them thinking about literature and history in new ways. “I do hip-hop outreach to inspire and to educate,” said the Stanford-educated Lars, also known as Andrew Nielsen, who has a degree in nineteenth-century American literature. “It makes the kids want to learn, and I can show them that it’s cool to be smart.” As a writer, performer, educator, and music producer, Lars demonstrates his passion for literature and finding new creative ways to introduce it to audiences, such as with songs about Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven and about Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick in his “Ahab Rap.” Lars’s two-week residency concluded with a lively community concert at the high school that included performances by Nantucket youth. All proceeds from the concert–tickets were just $1– were donated to the Nantucket Education Trust.

The Walden Chamber Players returned to Nantucket for the seventh year, performing concerts at the Whaling Museum as well as presenting community outreach and educational programs at schools and senior residential facilities. Their appearances are generously supported by an anonymous donor.

Heritage Society The Heritage Society recognizes individuals who have made gifts of artifacts, cash, or real estate to the Nantucket Historical Association through their estate plans. Planned gifts take many forms and support the NHA in myriad ways—from building the permanent endowment to expanding the artifact collections. New members are recognized at the Annual Meeting and presented with an ivory whale lapel pin carved by scrimshander and former NHA trustee Nancy Chase, who is herself a Heritage Society member.

The NHA is honored to recognize Maria and William Spears and Jonathan C. Swain as new members of the Heritage Society, and to have received a generous gift from the estate of Everett E. Reith. Their foresight and generosity in supporting the NHA’s mission are greatly appreciated.

SPECIAL

EVENTS

Celebrating and supporting Nantucket history In 2011, the Nantucket Historical Association offered four special events that both celebrated Nantucket and supported the NHA’s mission of education and preservation. The NHA is grateful for the generosity of those who provided their time, talents, inkind gifts, and leadership support—all of which were essential to the overwhelming success of these important and well-attended events. Special events raised 25 percent of the NHA’s 2011 operating revenue. Kicking off the season, the NHA again partnered with the 15th Annual Nantucket Wine Festival as the nonprofit beneficiary of the Wine Auction Dinner, held May 21 at the White Elephant. Chaired by Laura and Robert Reynolds, the sold-out event featured fine cuisine and wine pairings, and an auction of rare wines from private collectors and vineyards and over-the-top lifestyle packages.

A highlight of the summer season, the 34th August Antiques Show was chaired by Sara B. Boyce, with Anne Marie Bratton as vice chair and Victoria Hagan as honorary chair. The Friends of the NHA Lecture; Preview Party, sponsored for the eighth year by Eaton Vance Investment Counsel; new Young Collectors events; and President’s Reception, hosted by Susan Zises Green, were among the week’s events. The Antiques Show Dinner, chaired by Franci Crane and hosted for the twelfth year by Trianon/Seaman Schepps, was complemented by special guest composer Jake Heggie performing selections from his opera Moby-Dick, with Philip Cutlip and Nicholas Phan. Managed by The Antiques Council, the show presented forty prominent exhibitors under the tent at Bartlett’s Farm. Starting off the holidays, the 13th Festival of Wreaths featured eighty-eight beautifully crafted wreaths donated for a silent auction by members of the Nantucket community. Chaired by Alison K. Forsgren, the festival opened with a Preview Party and continued through Thanksgiving weekend in the Hadwen Alison K. Forsgren

& Barney Oil & Candle Factory. Thanks to the generous support of lead underwriter Marine Home Center and fifteen corporate sponsors, admission was free of charge for more than two thousand visitors. Often called “the best party of the year,” the Preview Party provided a lively start to the 18th Festival of Trees. Chaired by Ciara and Jack Fritsch, the festival filled the Whaling Museum with a wonderland of eighty trees decorated by individuals and organizations from the community and was open weekends from Christmas Stroll through the New Year. Thanks again to generous corporate underwriting, admission to the festival for more than 3,700 visitors was at a low-cost or free to Nantucket residents and tour groups from schools and senior centers.
