Spring 2014 No. 2 by Newberry Library

Spring 2014

We are a “Community of Learning.” From Fellows to genealogy readers, and seminar participants to undergraduates, the people who come to the Newberry do so because they are curious about something, or about many things. Our users pursue the objects of their individual curiosity through their own research, and also through the courses, author talks, workshops, conferences, exhibitions, and other programs we offer. Making it possible for people to employ our collection as well as our programs so as to “go below the surface of things” (in the wonderful phrase of William Frederick Poole) is central to our work every day, and also to the fulfillment of our mission. At the same time, these individuals’ presence at the Newberry enriches the institution itself, in two key ways. First, they frequently help us expand and deepen what we know about the collection, so that we can pass that new knowledge along to other users. Second, they often stimulate the thinking of other users, by virtue of their varied perspectives, diverse knowledge, and particular research practices. What emerges is an ever-changing community bound at any moment, and united over time, by a joint desire to learn. In the following pages, you will read about some of the many ways the Newberry and our collection foster learning, and why everything we do, from cataloging books, manuscripts, maps, music, and ephemera to mounting exhibitions, is intended to support our visitors’ diverse intellectual journeys. To tell this important story, this issue highlights the arts, where we have superb materials in areas like music, dance, and calligraphy, and where experts on the staff and among our readers regularly interact with each other about those materials. We hope you enjoy this second number of The Newberry Magazine, and we offer you our thanks for your continued commitment and support. Yours sincerely,

David Spadafora President and Librarian

The Art of Humanism From unique Italian book bindings to American Indian drawings and paintings to English satirical cartoons to the largest collection of dance materials in the Midwest, examples of creative human artistic endeavor abound throughout the Newberry’s collection. But how many artistic and artrelated items there are is not a question answerable with accuracy. What is clear is the important role these kinds of materials play–within the library’s collection, among other collections in the United States, and in scholarship produced at the Newberry. Across the past decade, the Newberry has made its extensive and still-growing arts collection an institutional priority in several ways, including partnering with The Shakespeare Project of Chicago to stage free-to-the-public readings of The Bard’s works; working closely with our neighbor, The Ruth Page Center for the Arts, to bring its superb collection to the Newberry; and creating a music curatorship, to which Renaissance Center Director Carla Zecher has been appointed.

The Food of Knowledge In 1889, the Newberry became a leading American library in the history and theory of music when William Frederick Poole, its first librarian, purchased the collection of Count Pio Resse of Florence: 751 items, mostly printed works of early Italian music and music theory. One of its most famous items is its extremely rare first edition of the opera Euridice, composed in 1600 by Jacopo Peri and considered to be the first opera score. Soon we acquired major collections of psalmody, and by the turn of the twentieth century the Newberry had become known as one of the most important places to study the history of Western music. By the middle of the twentieth century, the Newberry began to broaden and deepen its music holdings. In 1955, a gift bequeathed by former Newberry Board of Trustees Chair Horace Oakley began to provide a substantial fund that made possible the purchase of numerous

music items. Thirteen years later, the library’s sheetmusic collection took a giant leap with the acquisition of the James Francis Driscoll collection, which contains more than 80,000 items. And in 1993, the Newberry received a stunning compilation of scores, liturgical books, and opera libretti, as well as works on microfilm and even musical instruments, through Howard Mayer Brown’s bequest of his library and papers. Brown, for many years a professor at the University of Chicago, was a leading Renaissance musicologist. Today, the Newberry provides scholars from around the world access to some 45,000 books about music, 55,000 scores and performance editions, and more than 150,000 pieces of sheet music. Effective September 1, 2012, Carla Zecher, Director of the Center for Renaissance Studies, also became the Newberry’s Curator of Music. Zecher’s assignment is to ensure that this magnificent

Le Mvsiche di Iacopo Peri This first edition of the Italian opera Euridice was printed in 1600.

collection is professionally managed and carefully cultivated. In addition to her expertise in French poetry and early modern travel-writing, Zecher specializes in Renaissance music, and is the author of Sounding Objects: Musical Instruments, Poetry, and Art in Renaissance France (University of Toronto Press, 2007). She holds undergraduate degrees from Oberlin College and the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and a diploma in harpsichord performance from the Strasbourg Conservatory, as well as a Ph.D. in Romance Studies from Duke University. “If we think about the Newberry collection in subject terms, music is our third largest category, after history and auxiliary sciences; and language, linguistics, and literature,” Zecher said. “It’s very interesting, from my point of view, to think about the importance of music within the Newberry collection, as well as comparing the importance of our collection with other collections in the U.S. and Europe.” 4

Zecher has started assessing the unique strengths of the music collection, especially with respect to first editions of Renaissance and Baroque music books, and opera from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. This audit will help the Newberry make wise decisions about collection development. She also is making plans for the Newberry to join the Library of Congress Music Treasures Consortium by creating, in 2014, a digital exhibition of all of the pre-twentieth-century composer autographs in the music collection. Twentieth-century autographs will be added in the future, as time permits. “It will, of course, take us some time to develop an accurate assessment of a collection that is so large, and so important to the Newberry,” Zecher said. “But the goal could not be clearer—to carefully preserve and cultivate the collection in a way that best fosters scholarship.” Carla Zecher, Director of the Center for Renaissance Studies and Curator of Music The Newberry Magazine

“ Let us read and let us dance — two amusements that will never do any harm to the world”—Voltaire Few places anywhere join Voltaire’s two amusements as harmoniously as does the Newberry, which has the largest dance history collection known to be in the Midwest. Although the Newberry throughout its history has acquired materials related to the performing arts, its dance collection made its elevé in 1981, when Ann Barzel visited the library to see some early and rare works on dance that were then being exhibited. A dancer herself, and a teacher and critic of dance, Barzel from the age of nine had been amassing an extraordinary collection of dance-related materials, including (but certainly not limited to) photographs, press kits, programs, and brochures, as well as films she herself created. At the Newberry she had found the perfect home for the fruits of her life’s work. Until her death in 2007, at the age of 101, Barzel continually brought to the Newberry shopping bagloads of treasures, working hand-in-glove with staff and volunteers to organize the materials properly. Because of Barzel’s dedication to her art, and to furthering knowledge about it, today Newberry researchers have access to more than 500 boxes of printed and manuscript materials, 3,000 books, 70 periodical titles, 10,000 photographs, and a stunning 94,600 feet of film shot by her, as well as hundreds of promotional videos, posters, and other ephemera. Lloyd Lewis Curator of Modern Manuscripts Martha Briggs and dance specialist and Manuscripts and Archives Librarian Alison Hinderliter oversee the Midwest Dance Collection. “Given its long-running commitment to acquiring performance art materials, the Newberry was always going to have a very respectable dance collection,” Briggs said. “When Ann Barzel walked into the library in 1981, it became extraordinary.”

And Barzel didn’t stop with her own collection. By bringing to the Newberry dancers, dance historians, students, and collectors, she generated interest among other holders of dancerelated materials in giving them to us. Today there are 64 separate dance manuAnn Barzel script collections. One of those collections recently arrived at the Newberry: the papers of the legendary Ruth Page. Ruth Page choreographed, danced, toured, and produced in all parts of the world, and was employed by, collaborated with, and employed some of the greatest artists of the twentieth century: Irving Berlin, Aaron Copland, Sergei Diaghilev, Katherine Dunham, Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev, and Anna Pavlova. Emanating from Chicago, Page’s visionary work influenced the growth of theater design, opera ballet, and dance, and she achieved worldwide recognition as a true pioneer of dance in America. Included in her superb collection are more than 100 boxes and cartons of programs, publicity materials, correspondence, and musical scores. It also includes six boxes of items relating to the annual production of “The Nutcracker,” performed at the Arie Crown Theater from 1965 to 1997, and six cubic feet of video archives.

No wonder so many readers come to the Newberry to make use of our ever-growing collection of music, dance, and other arts- and performance-related materials. The group of people with such interests is large, to judge not only by visitors to our reading rooms, but also by the participants in the Newberry’s 2013 Dance Heritage Coalition Internship, and by the turnout for public programs such as the Stone Camryn Lecture on the History of Dance, staged readings by The Shakespeare Project of Chicago, and adult education seminars on a wide range of topics, including theater, literature, art, music, and dance. At the Newberry, the arts are thriving. 5

Third Coast In the 1920s, Chicago was “the literary capital of the United States,” according to H. L. Mencken, cultural arbiter and critic. American literature was full of Chicago mainstays: its storied railroads, skyscrapers, and stockyards, described in bleak, barbed voices. The writings of renowned authors— Theodore Dreiser, Carl Sandburg, Willa Cather, and Sherwood Anderson—were born of Midwestern attitudes and upbringings. These authors collectively provide one example of the ways in which political, social, and physical landscapes inspire works of art, in all its forms and throughout history. To understand these artistic works more fully, we must view them in proper context. From the colors and charm of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, to the politics and passion of the 1930s’ Black Renaissance, to today’s arts organizations, the Newberry has compiled a wideranging collection of photographs, printed materials, genealogical holdings, and ephemera that bears witness to the evolution of Chicago and the Midwest. And in conjunction with Newberry holdings, our programs explore the neighborhoods and people of historical and contemporary Chicago. From the Oliver Barrett-Carl Sandburg papers, this photograph shows Barrett and Sandburg in a backyard. Midwest MS Barrett-Sandburg, Box #3, File #40.

A City of Neighborhoods In summer 2013, 25 university and college faculty and graduate students attended “Making Modernism: Literature and Culture in Twentieth-Century Chicago, 1893–1955,” a four-week institute made possible by support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and hosted by the Newberry’s Dr. William M. Scholl Center for American History and Culture. Led by literary scholar and Scholl Center Director Liesl Olson, “Making Modernism” gave participants the opportunity to explore Chicago through both the Newberry’s collection and the experience of the city itself. Scholars studied the records of Chicago’s newspapers and journalists, clubs and arts organizations, famous and not-so-famous writers, 6

editors, artists, book designers, and publishers. Particularly relevant collections included the papers of Fanny Butcher, Floyd Dell, the Dill Pickle Club, Henry Blake Fuller, Harry Hansen, Ben Hecht, and Ernest Hemingway. Each week of the institute also included site visits to Chicago’s museums, clubs, neighborhoods, and landmarks, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Arts Club, and the Poetry Foundation. The program was highlighted by a literary walking tour of the city led by former Newberry Fellow and University of Chicago doctoral candidate Paul Durica. Earlier in the year, the Newberry offered to the public “Exploring Chicago’s Neighborhoods,” a spring adult education seminar taught by Bill Hinchliff, a tour The Newberry Magazine

guide and architecture buff, and Diane Dillon, art historian and at the time the Newberry’s Director of Scholarly, Undergraduate, and Exhibition Programs. Dillon and Hinchliff have collaborated in the past, and were excited to discuss with seminar participants a sometimes-understudied component of the Chicago narrative: its many community institutions. Over two months, the class traveled to nine neighborhoods, each with a rich history and ethnic heritage and exciting activity today. “It was hard to pick just nine neighborhoods, because there are so many fascinating areas, so many areas with a strong history,” said Dillon, today the Newberry’s Interim Vice President. “We attempted to have a balanced assortment of places that would appeal to those interested in history and those interested in architecture.” The class began in the Gold Coast, exploring the stomping grounds of founding Newberrians Eliphalet Blatchford and Walter Newberry. In the course of these Gold Coast travels, the class visited the former haunts of turn-of-the-century radicals, including the Jack Jones—“The Pickler” Fortnightly Club, Chicago’s oldest women’s Case Broadside 14 organization, which once drew the likes of Mark Twain and Robert Frost. In the succeeding weeks, vestiges of 1920s glamor in Uptown, or Bridgeport’s the class journeyed to Andersonville, Kenwood, Lincoln storied past as a Democratic Party stronghold. Dillon and Hinchliff hoped that, upon finishing the Square, Bridgeport, Uptown, Ukrainian Village, course, their students would have an enhanced Greektown, and Lincoln Park. Each locale boasted a understanding not only of individual neighborhoods, bevy of important sites, their names and structural but also of the larger history and the way these areas design doubling as paeans to local history—like the have shaped and continue to shape Chicago’s culture and settlement patterns. Dillon concluded, “Chicago, it’s now almost cliché to say, is a city of neighborhoods. And though they each have an individual character, together they define Chicago; they make Chicago what it is.”

Revamping Reference The Newberry owes its existence to the end of a genealogical line. Walter L. Newberry’s will provided for the library’s establishment if, and only if, his thenhealthy, adolescent daughters died without heirs. They did, and the Newberry was born of one family’s sad ending. It seems fitting, then, that the Newberry contains a vast array of genealogical source materials and expertise. Today, the Newberry’s shelves hold a remarkably comprehensive collection of town and county histories, with particular emphasis on New England, the Midwest, and the Mid-Atlantic states; indexes of pretwentieth-century records, outlining many thousands of marriages, births, and deaths; and 17,000 published genealogies, tracing the lineages of American and British families. To accommodate these substantial holdings, and to facilitate genealogical research, the Newberry has recently reorganized its General Reading Room. Cabinets of infrequently used resources (e.g., census microfilm, now available online in digitized format) were moved into the Stack Building. In their place is the second-floor reference desk. Its greater prominence allows our reference librarians to better interact with

and assist researchers. Occupying the reference desk’s former location is the Smith Family Genealogy Reference Center, which now includes shelving for genealogy and local history volumes, including a considerable amount of Chicagoana. “We find that genealogy patrons make up the largest proportion of our users from the general public, and we try to make a special effort to ensure that that audience is well served, and that they understand how a research library operates,” said Matt Rutherford, Curator of Genealogy and Local History and Reference Team Leader. “Our genealogy patrons tend to run the gamut,” Rutherford continued. “We receive people who live locally, and people who are only in Chicago for a short while. There are plenty of absolute beginners, but, because of the ubiquity of genealogy sources online, many have done previous research. They’ll say, ‘This is what I have, and where do I go next?’” The nature of genealogy research is necessarily open-ended; it spans centuries and continents and is enmeshed in the minutiae of history.

The Newberry Magazine

Life of P.I. With 1982’s Indemnity Only, Sarah Paretsky revolutionized the genres of mystery and crime writing. She introduced readers to V.I. Warshawski, a Chicago female P.I. who uses her wits and fists in equal measure. More than 30 years later, Paretsky remains engrossed in V.I.’s world, penning action and intrigue with an unusual ferocity. Counting Critical Mass, published this past October, 16 of Paretsky’s novels have starred the ever-daring V.I. Although time has passed and the nature of publishing has changed, Paretsky continues to have an abiding respect for her heroine. (After all, she jokes, her novels provide much-needed vicarious thrills: “If I was as tough as V.I., I’d be having these adventures, not writing about them.”) As an author and activist, Paretsky champions what has become a hallmark of the V.I. brand: a strong, decidedly feminist perspective. “I’d always written privately,” she explains, reflecting on her literary origins, “but the women’s movement gave me a vocabulary to do so publicly. It allowed me to create a character who defied the usual stereotypes—a woman who wasn’t defined by her sexuality and who wasn’t a villain.” The vamp/villain archetype, Paretsky notes, is a staple of noir fiction, appearing in six of Raymond Chandler’s novels and still saturating the literary landscape. This circumstance, and the knowledge that male crime writers were seven times more likely to receive national reviews, spurred Paretsky to action. In 1986, hoping to swell distaste for women’s marginalization in fiction, she convened a gathering at the Bouchercon World Mystery Convention in Baltimore. This initial get-together spawned a generative organization, Sisters in Crime, which now boasts 3,600 members in 48 chapters. These chapters are composed of authors, readers, booksellers, and librarians intent on fighting discrimination among mystery writers. “There’s such resentment toward women who take up space or who dare to have a voice,” Paretsky laments. “When we started Sisters in Crime, I came under attack; there were accusations that I was promoting discrimination against men.” She ruefully recalls one brazen critic,

Author Sara Paretsky

who had disparaged her physical appearance “as if my clothing and ‘shifty’ eyes were relevant.” Paretsky’s deep-rooted concern for social justice is not limited to women; she advocates for those struggling on society’s margins, whether an at-risk, inner-city teen or Chicago’s homeless, entombed in institutional poverty. Much of her advocacy centers on Chicago, which became Paretsky’s adoptive home in 1966. She recalls, “While I was still an undergraduate at the University of Kansas, I volunteered with a community service organization on Chicago’s South Side. Martin Luther King, Jr. was here, and there were constant race riots. It was extraordinary and terrifying, and Chicago became such a vital place in my mind—a city that was incredibly important to the human rights movement.” Given these experiences, it’s unsurprising that Paretsky’s fiction has a politicized edge, or that V.I. is a consummate Chicagoan: raised in the shadow of South Side steel mills, she is a University of Chicago graduate, the daughter of an Italian-immigrant mother and police-officer father, and, perhaps most important, a dogged baseball fan. In 1993, when Paretsky resolved to donate her personal papers, the choice was obvious: “I wanted them to stay in Chicago because my work is so identified with the city.” In the end, her papers, which total nine boxes bursting with manuscripts, photographs, clippings, and private correspondence, have gone to the Newberry, where readers can page them from the stacks. “The Newberry is a wonderful library,” Paretsky said. “There’s a certain magic in its atmosphere, and I’ve taken many refreshing naps here.” 9

Our Mission The Newberry Library, open to the public without charge, is an independent research library dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge, especially in the humanities. The Newberry acquires and preserves a broad array of special collections research materials relating to the civilizations of Europe and the Americas. It promotes and provides for their effective use, fostering research, teaching, publication, and life-long learning, as well as civic engagement. In service to its diverse community, the Newberry encourages intellectual pursuit in an atmosphere of free inquiry and sustains the highest standards of collection preservation, bibliographic access, and reader services.

The Newberry Annual Report 2012-13

Letter from the Chair and the President What a great start to the Newberry’s next 125 years. June 30, 2013 marked the end of our celebration of the Newberry’s quasquicentennial, a year filled with special programs and events, landmark exhibitions, and the publication of The Newberry 125, a beautiful volume featuring some of the most significant items in our collection. It also was a date notable for one of the most important achievements in the library’s recent history: the successful completion of the $25-million Campaign for Tomorrow’s Newberry. The resources raised through this campaign are vital to the future of the institution, as they will enable us to continue to realize our mission by preserving and adding to the rich cultural heritage of the collection, making it even more accessible for study, and by offering excellent programs that augment the knowledge of scholars, students, teachers, lifelong learners, and other readers and researchers. Indeed, the fact that the campaign exceeded its goal by more than 10 percent will permit us to expand our Fellows Program, make important capital improvements, and strengthen our endowment. We are deeply grateful to all of you who generously supported this effort, including the more than 3,000 donors to the Annual Fund from 2010 to 2013. You have made a decisive difference in advancing our cause. To celebrate these two historic accomplishments, the Newberry hosted an event featuring author David McCullough and co-chaired by Trustee Jonathan and Nancy Lee Kemper, Trustee Grant and Suzanne McCullagh, and Trustee David McNeel. Some 500 people came to the nearby Harvest Bible Chapel for the presentation to Mr. McCullough of The Newberry Library Award and his scintillating remarks on libraries and the humanities. It is also a source of great satisfaction to be able to report that, for the sixth year in a row, our Annual Fund met its goal in 2012–13, with almost 1,400 Newberry supporters contributing slightly more than $1.9 million. As you know, the unrestricted contributions that go to the Annual Fund, constituting some 20 percent of our operating income, are essential for providing the highest quality service to our readers and other users. 12

A look at the financial statement included in this report will show readers that our overall financial situation continues to improve. The endowment resumed its good growth of recent years, and at a time of concern for the debt load carried by many cultural and educational institutions, we have managed to pay down our long-term debt to the point where it constitutes only about 8 percent of the value of the endowment. The Newberry strives mightily to shepherd its resources, and your gifts, in prudent fashion. The past fiscal year was notable for several major accomplishments in our Library Services Division. For one thing, we fielded a marked increase in reference requests, which totaled more than 14,600, almost 46 percent more than the year before. For another, we concluded our French Pamphlets Project (discussed elsewhere in this magazine) in spectacular fashion, exceeding by some 5,000 items our multi-year project goal of cataloging 22,000 pamphlets. By any standard, these are notable achievements that bring immediate and long-term benefit to thousands of readers. The Newberry’s emphasis on service to readers was emphatically underscored last fiscal year. Many fascinating and significant items entered the collection in 2012-13. Highlights include several items purchased with the support of the Society of Collectors, such as a Civil War journal and 54 related letters, a Choctaw-English manuscript dictionary, and, with additional support from Trustee Rudy Ruggles, a manuscript

that unveils subscription controversies surrounding the famous Encyclopédie of Diderot and d’Alembert. Many gifts of materials arrived as well, including 93 just in the area of Modern Manuscripts. These included a large cache of letters between Clarence Darrow and John T. Jacobs, the Harold Kolling Century of Progress Collection, and a marvelous guest book belonging to Maestro Rudolph Ganz, together with a transcription of and detailed, scholarly commentary on it by his stepdaughter. Meanwhile, existing book funds—such as the Brooker, Brown-Weiss, and Fitzgerald Funds—allowed us to buy exceptional items like five rare printed editions of French dramas from the era of Corneille and an unusual 1904 map of the Alaskan gold fields. There was growth, too, in our long-standing Fellows Program, which brought to the Newberry nine longterm and 43 short-term fellows in the last year, in addition to four faculty fellows who taught in our two undergraduate programs. Several new short-term fellowship opportunities were established, and by June 30 the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation had matched gifts from individuals totaling more than $900,000 for new long-term fellowships. Scholarship at the Newberry goes far beyond professional academic research, of course. At the center of the undergraduate programs stand the Associated Colleges of the Midwest and Newberry Library Undergraduate Seminars. Between them, 33 students benefited from semesterlong, close-up exploration of topics with teams of faculty, in-depth exposure to original and other primary sources, and the expertise of Newberry staff. And hundreds of teachers from Chicago and suburban high schools once again came to the Newberry for advanced study of topics that they teach. Other initiatives launched last fiscal year to better preserve our collection were of a physical nature. The Stack Building acquired a new roof during the fall of 2012—that roof ’s first replacement since the building opened in 1982. In early 2013, the two chillers that condition the air in both the Stack Building and the Cobb Building were also replaced. Because one chiller was 30 years old and the other 35, their replacements provide much more cooling and humidity-control capacity, better redundancy, and appreciably lower operating costs.

Among public programs, the two that attracted most notice and visitation were our quasquicentennial exhibitions, “The Newberry 125” and “Realizing the Newberry Idea, 1887-2012.” Some 25,000 people visited them, and about 2,500 more came to each of three other exhibitions that took place after the closure of the 125th anniversary shows. Additional public programs that drew large visitation included an open house in connection with the Chicago Architecture Foundation on a Saturday in mid-October, and the Bughouse Square Debates in late July. The Shakespeare Project of Chicago mounted four very popular programs on Saturday mornings, and our relatively new “Conversations at the Newberry” series continued to draw near-capacity audiences to listen to Hanna Gray and Jim Leach debate the future of the humanities, and Sara Paretsky and Rick Kogan discuss Chicago literature. Throughout the year, our seminars program involved more than 1,500 people in studying topics about which they were seeking to deepen their knowledge under the tutelage of experts. More resources, more visitors; increased access to more materials; better facilities: all contributed in 201213 to a more vibrant community of learning. And you, our friends and supporters, made all of this possible. On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the staff of the Newberry Library, we offer you our grateful thanks and appreciation.

Politics, Piety, and Poison In January of 2010, the Newberry embarked on a was equipped to analyze early modern documents, three-year, high-priority enterprise: the cataloging which are often replete with idiosyncratic grammar and organization of some 27,000 French pamphlets. and archaic vocabulary. ese documents are a medley of mordant satires and e pamphlets and broadsides fell into four clusters: patriotic odes, tales of regicide and more mundane the French Revolution Collection, which totals 30,000 political discourse. e collection appeared in a pamphlets and 180 periodicals, published between Spotlight exhibition, “Politics, Piety, and Poison: 1780 and 1810 (some of which had already been cataFrench Pamphlets, 1600-1800,” which was mounted loged); the Louis XVI Trial and Execution Collection, in the Smith Gallery from January to April of 2013, at which includes 600 government-issued pamphlets, on the project’s end. is project arose in the Hidden Collections Committee, a team drawn from the several Library Services departments. e committee determined through analysis of scholarship trends, reader requests, and collection strengths that the Newberry’s French pamphlets were a high priority for better reader access, which could be provided only by cataloging. With a grant of $488,000 from the Council on Library and Information Resources, generously funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Newberry hired a team of cataloging assistants supervised by an experienced professional cataloger. All team members were fluent in Révolutions de France et de Brabant, Vol. 1, [1789], FRC 5.1296 French, but they came from a variety of backgrounds in librarianship and the humanities. “At any given time, we had four the moral and political repercussions of a king’s trial catalogers on the French pamphlets team—for a and beheading; a host of publishers’ prospectuses, catatotal of seven catalogers in all,” explains Jessica logs, and items relating to the French book trade; and Grzegorski, Senior Cataloging Projects Librarian. the Saint-Sulpice Collection, a large set of biographical “Because the materials were relatively homogeneous, papers, such as funeral sermons and commemorative we were able to create cataloging templates and to verses that include early editions of works by Budé, perform targeted training.” In time, each cataloger Pascal, and Molière. 38

Senior Cataloging Projects Librarian Jessica Grzegorski and representatives from the Council on Library and Information Resources Christa Williford and Jena Winberry tour the Newberry’s French Pamphlets Exhibition.

Cataloging these items required an intensely focused eﬀort. (e project’s breadth, Grzegorski recalls, drew audible gasps from members of the cataloging community.) To grapple with this massive task, the project managers implemented a system of peer review. For instance, pamphlets in the French Revolution Collection were divided into portfolios, each with 20-40 pamphlets. A cataloging assistant would create initial records for each pamphlet, and then pass the portfolio to a peer assistant. is peer would proofread for typographical errors, valid subject headings, and appropriate notes. “e advantages of this process are many,” explains Grzegorski. “It draws on the complementary strengths of our diverse team. For example, some team members excel at subject analysis, while others may proofread meticulously or have a deep knowledge of the historical events represented in the pamphlets.” “is method has been highly successful, beyond expectations,” says Alan Leopold, the Chauncey and Marion D. McCormick Family Foundation Director of Collection Services. “Its success was due to proven in-house management skills [and] an excellent staﬀ.” e project was so fruitful that the team could catalog an additional two collections: the Howard Mayer Brown libretto collection, an important gathering of Italian and French opera libretti spanning 400 years of musical publishing; and the Pamfletten-Verzameling, a collection of 1,600 Dutch tracts, which reveal the history of the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, and Scandinavia in the early modern era.

In spite of their scope, “there’s something intimate about each of these items,” says Grzegorski. Handling a piece of history is oen awe-inspiring—whether one is thumbing the pages of an early modern monograph or digging through a family’s genealogical papers. But what is fascinating about these pamphlets, and what defines this project, is that “they’re so quotidian, so immediate. You feel as if you have a closer sense of the times.” Many of these documents were not expected, or intended, to weather the years. ey were rapidly printed and haphazardly distributed and are a snapshot of a volatile era. Among them can be found personal defenses against libel, the impassioned speeches of provincial legislators, and the scribbled notes of the Francophone Everyman. ese documents, and the voices they project, are, perhaps, the minutiae of France before and during the French Revolution. But we cannot dismiss them; they transcend official histories and broaden our understanding of a seminal epoch. For the Newberry French pamphlets team, this project and the culminating exhibition have a more immediate resonance: they allowed the team’s members to perform outreach and, in Grzegorski’s phrasing, to become emissaries. e cataloging team maintained a blog with twice-weekly postings, which detailed their findings and progress. “Elsewhere, this outreach task may have been le to curators or senior staff. It really was a chance for us to connect with the public.” Catalogers, it should be said, are fundamental to the library’s mission, responsible for making possible the research that goes on here daily. ey may be less likely to see readers than are reference staff or curators, but

they build and maintain the library’s most visible tool for discovery—the online catalog. “Each of the catalog’s records was a process,” explains Leopold. e catalog, he continues, is more than a compilation of metadata, of subject headings or coded information; it has been a collaborative eﬀort since 1887 with contributions by many hands. “Catalogers check existing databases for information. [In the absence of information], they discuss the item with colleagues, or reach out to the cataloging community. At the Newberry, we’re ideally positioned to work together, which allows us to form a sense of identity.”

For all involved, the French pamphlet project was a confirmation of Collection Services’ ability to aﬀect the trends of scholarship, and to touch every Newberry department’s work, directly or indirectly. In the project’s wake, notes Leopold, “there’s been an increase in [the pamphlets’] circulation and discussion, and an increased number of fellowship applicants who are hoping to work with these documents. To see these elements come together is truly rewarding.”

But at heart, Leopold is a cataloger, quick to explain the difficulties and stages of the cataloging process. When creating a catalog entry, he explains, he and the catalogers first check WorldCat, a global catalog of library collections. “If a pre-existing record does not exist, I start from scratch. I assemble the information that’s needed— who’s the creator, what’s the title, what sort of notes would be helpful.” In the occasional instance when he is unable to identify a piece of data—if, for example, it was written in an unusual language—he relies on special tools of the cataloging trade. “Catalogers, who routinely are exposed to different types of materials, develop ways of working with unfamiliar languages.

In bibliophilic circles, there is something of a smirking typology, which generalizes about the quirks and foibles of book collectors. ere are, it is said, the faithful bibliophiles who center their corpora on a singular type or title, and the mercantile collectors whose dealings are inspired by acquisitive zeal. And then, of course, there are the eccentrics—the autodidacts, roused by a bibliophilic whimsy. eir collections defy what others might claim is systematic order, in favor of instinct and idiosyncratic taste. One such collector was John Mansir Wing, a nineteenth-century journalist, who regarded the book arts as “a delightful rig” (or niche interest). From his bequest of books and money, the Newberry has assembled a collection of items that in the aggregate illustrates the colorful currents in printing and book history. Today, the Wing Foundation is one of the world’s leading collections in its field. It runs a literary gamut, from design usage and theory to bookselling and

binding. “Wing purchases range widely,” says Paul Gehl, Custodian of the John M. Wing Foundation on the History of Printing, and George Amos Poole III Curator of Rare Books. “[is year’s purchases] include everything from a beautiful volume of passages by Proust, illustrated with mezzotints by Judith Rothchild, to a style manual for the Dutch government’s new typeface, De Stijl van het Rijk.” ese holdings vary geographically, as well as topically. “We have miniature books from Bačka Topolya, Serbia and Tampa, Florida. e book arts are infinitely varied, so our purchases must be, too.” Since its creation, the Wing Foundation has become less of a “rig” and more of a sweeping history. Which isn’t to say that Wing’s unconventional passion was ousted or sidelined. On the contrary, one man’s enthusiasm has become a rich and enduring resource enjoyed by the community at large. 41

Calligraphy Crescendo For 20-plus years, the Chicago Calligraphy Collective has held its juried exhibition at the Newberry. Founded in 1976, this dynamic organization fosters the study, practice, and appreciation of calligraphy. Its exhibition “Exploration 2013” surveyed the historical and present-day applications of this beautiful, if little understood, art form. e annual showcase invites visitors to discover calligraphic riches: handmade books and broadsides, three-dimensional works, and an array of traditional and experimental styles.

It holds a superb assemblage of Williams, a former book designer at the University calligraphic materials, finished products of great beauty of Chicago Press. Since retiring in 2002, Williams has and repute. e Newberry, Gehl explains, is equally donated his time and talent to the Wing Foundation, committed to revealing the creative process. “We are working in conjunction with Gehl. one of the best places to see sketches, drawings, and “Bob is an asset in many ways,” Gehl extols. “He trials—the documents of process—by calligraphers of was, prior to my arrival at the Newberry, more familiar all periods.” with the Wing Collection than any other member of Aer each exhibition, the Newberry acquires one of the calligraphic community.

most intriguingly, a series of letters from Conrad Hilton, who asked May to design personal Christmas cards, stationery, and oﬃcial graphics for the Hilton Hotel Corporation. e Newberry staﬀ and its patrons are much indebted to Williams. But, in his mind, the relationship is reciprocal. “e library has enriched me in many ways, and exploring the Wing collection has produced countless discoveries.” ese discoveries informed and led to the composition of several publications, including his A Moon to eir Sun: Writing Mistresses of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, which explores the work and contributions of female calligraphers. “One of [my] biggest discoveries,” Williams adds, “was the diaries of John M. Wing himself, which were in the library since 1919 but, as far as I know, unread.” Williams transcribed these journals, which were subsequently published by the Southern Illinois University Press. What resulted, says Gehl, was “a wonderful story, which makes for a lively reading. It describes a man who lived by his wits in a fascinating moment, a moment when soldiers were being demobilized in post-Civil War Chicago.” Williams, it would seem, is a man of many interests and talents, which Gehl is quick to describe: “He has a phenomenal visual memory, which is particularly useful when you’re faced with a disordered archive of papers. Without him, or memories like his, related items would never be compared and connected.” In that regard, and for reviving the memory of Jack Wing, that idiosyncratic collector, the Newberry is in Williams’s debt. Volunteering is its own art form.

John Mansir Wing

Type in Time Williams’s books, though a credit to the Wing Foundation, are just some of the publications to rise from this collection. In 2012, curator Paul Gehl launched A Meditation in Rome, an insightful exploration of typographic revivalism. Its text derives from an earlier address, “How Can Type History Be Good History?”, which Gehl delivered before a plenary session of ATypI Roma.

A Meditation in Rome examines the façade of the Roman Pantheon. With its inscription in mind, Gehl suggests that designers immerse themselves in the history of letter forms, so as to appreciate the full implications of their selected type. “Over the years,” he explains, “the meaning of the inscription on the Pantheon has changed; in fact, the vast majority of people who have seen it over the centuries either misunderstood it or did not read it at all. It is easy to admire the letters without knowing what they mean, but the experience is immensely richer if you can recover some of the historical context.” Gehl’s book was produced by Russell Maret, a type designer and printer, who created a unique metal type ornament for the binding. e work’s pages are decorated with historical imagery, typographic comparisons, and a large, fold-out photograph by Annie Schlechter. e text appears in Maret’s own types, Gremolata and Cancellaresca Milanese. In a sense, A Meditation in Rome symbolizes much of what defines the Wing Foundation: beautiful lettering, an intricate history, and an opportunity for significant learning. 43

Former Newberry Fellow and 2012 MacArthur Foundation Fellow Dylan Penningroth talks with former Vice President for Research and Academic Programs Daniel Greene.

In Conversation: Dylan Penningroth and Daniel Greene Dylan Penningroth, Associate Professor of History at Northwestern University and Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation, was a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellow at the Newberry in 2006–07. His award-winning 2003 book The Claims of Kinfolk (University of North Carolina Press) examines slavery, property, and community in the South. Professor Penningroth in 2012 received a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, known popularly as a “genius grant.” The Newberry’s former Vice President for Research and Academic Programs, Daniel Greene, spoke with Penningroth about his scholarship.

Daniel Greene: Tell me about why you put the idea of kinship at the center of your book, e Claims of Kinfolk. Dylan Penningroth: I wanted to write a book of African American history that centered on African Americans, which took account of race relations, but wasn’t defined or determined by that. I thought that one way to do it would be to look at black people’s relationships with one another. And it turns out that one great way to get at that is to look at records of stolen property, confiscated property.

e Newberry Magazine

DG: How do you find African Americans’ voices in such sources? DP: Most of the case files that remain cover people who were white. I went into the archives and found 500 claims related to blacks. Within each of these claims, there are black folks, and they’re talking. It’s all very structured and rote so it’s not like they’re saying whatever they want—it’s not autobiographical at all. But in a way, what that particular set of sources gives you is the biography of their property. And as any scholar of property knows, property is not a relationship between a person and a thing, it’s a relationship among people about a thing. DG: What project were you working on when you were an NEH Fellow at the Newberry? DP: I was doing two things. I was starting a new book project, which at the time I thought was going to be a full-on comparison of the United States and West Africa on legacies of slavery. I was looking at railroad records in the Pullman Company archive, and I still want to come back to look at the Illinois Central records. I also looked at the Newberry’s collection of slave narratives, which are available in other places too, but not in such a wonderful space. DG: You also looked at the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries, a Newberry research project that maps the changes in boundaries for every US county throughout history. How did you use the atlas?

but the trick is you need to know what county they’re in to have any degree of confidence that you have the right person. e county boundaries settled down by 1860, which is when my study begins. But the boundaries still sometimes danced around, and I wanted to know whether the boundaries had shied, consolidated, if the person I was looking at lived on the edge of the county—some of these towns were on the edge—so I used the atlas to make a more confident match. DG: What did it mean for you to be a fellow in the community of scholars here? DP: It was amazing! I look back on that time as a period when I made the turn decisively toward my new project. A lot of the really hard thinking happened right here; just having the space to think mattered, but also the people I was interacting with mattered. ere was a class of fellows that year that as usual was scattered around diﬀerent disciplines, diﬀerent time periods and interests. But there was a little cluster of nineteenthcentury US scholars, including Laura Edwards (Duke), Susan Johnson (UW-Madison), and Lisa Tetrault (Carnegie Mellon). And that worked great. DG: You may know that 2012 marked the fourth year in a row that a former Newberry fellow won a “genius grant” from the MacArthur Foundation. How do you explain our run, Dylan? DP: You guys have good taste. I’m going to pat myself on the back and say that. It’s nice to be in this company. I mean, I knew coming in that this was the place to be.

DP: I had figured out that I was going to be looking at an awful lot of trial court records, which do not identify the litigants by race, so you don’t know if they’re black or white. A whole pile of names. You don’t know how many of them were slaves. You don’t know how many of them were even black with these postwar trial records, and so I turned to the census and to ancestry.com. ere, you can look up individuals,

Newsworthy at the Newberry 125TH ANNIVERSARY e spring of 2013 marked the culmination of two major Newberry achievements: our 125th anniversary, and the successful completion of the $25 million Campaign for Tomorrow’s Newberry. To celebrate, the Newberry hosted a splendid event on May 13, 2013 honoring author David McCullough and co-chaired by Trustee Jonathan and Nancy Lee Kemper, Trustee Grant and Suzanne McCullagh, and Trustee David McNeel. About 500 people, including Mayor Rahm Emanuel, came to the nearby Harvest Bible Chapel (formerly the Scottish Rite Cathedral) for the presentation of e Newberry Library Award to McCullough and his subsequent remarks. McCullough enjoyed his visit, and he decided to donate to the Newberry a painting by George P.A. Healy, to go with our large collection of Healy portraits. It now hangs in the third-floor reference area. e Newberry Library Award is the highest honor the library bestows. Established in 1987 (the Newberry’s centennial year), it is given to individuals who have made important and influential contributions to the humanities.

McCullough, widely acclaimed as a “master of the art of narrative history,” is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, a two-time winner of the National Book Award, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award. McCullough’s most recent book, e Greater Journey: Americans in Paris, is a New York Times bestseller, lauded by critics as a dazzling enterprise. His earlier books cut a wide swath across American history: John Adams, e Johnstown Flood, e Great Bridge, e Path Between the Seas, Mornings on Horseback, Brave Companions, and Truman. In the citation accompanying the award, Newberry President David Spadafora observed about McCullough that “It is hard to imagine a practitioner of the humanities who has had a greater impact on our country in recent decades, or who has better modeled how writers of history can make their findings engagingly accessible to a wide and appreciative audience. Mr. McCullough is also recognized as an ardent advocate for the importance of history to our country and people, and for libraries great and small as institutions that enrich our lives in many ways.” Spadafora concluded by describing McCullough as the omas Babington Macaulay of our time. At the close of the ceremony, visitors adjourned to the General Reading Room on the second floor of the Newberry. ere, over dinner attended by more than 300 people, it was announced that the Campaign for Tomorrow’s Newberry had reached and surpassed its goal. Early in baseball season, it was a Newberry triple play: the Newberry Award to one of the country’s most distinguished writers, the culminating event of the 125th anniversary celebration, and the announcement of a highly successful major fundraising campaign.

At the Newberry Library 125th Anniversary Celebration in May, Newberry Board of Trustees Chair Victoria J. Herget presented e Newberry Library Award to author David McCullough. 46

Our Banner in the Sky Terra Foundation for American Art, Chicago, Daniel J. Terra Collection, 1992.27. Our Banner in the Sky was painted by Frederic Edwin Church in 1861. Inspired by the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in April of that year, Church painted Our Banner in the Sky to reflect growing feelings of patriotism in the nation.

HOME FRONT: DAILY LIFE IN THE CIVIL WAR NORTH More than 150 years aer it began, the Civil War still occupies a prominent place in the national collective memory. Cultural productions tend to portray the war as a battle over the future of slavery, or focus on Lincoln’s determination to save the Union while brother fought against brother. Most of these depictions neglect the war’s influence on the home front. e exhibition “Home Front: Daily Life in the Civil War North,” which ran from September 2013 through March 2014, explored the Civil War beyond the battlefield, with a special emphasis on contemporary visual culture. It juxtaposed an outstanding group of paintings from the Terra Foundation for American Art with a wealth of material from the Newberry, including popular prints, illustrated newspapers and magazines,

photographs and letters, sheet music, fashion plates, and other ephemera. An online exhibition makes many of these materials available permanently on the Newberry’s website. Go to http:\\publications.newberry.org/digitalexhibitions. e beautifully illustrated book of essays, published by the University of Chicago Press to accompany (and bearing the same title as) the exhibition, has won a major honor: e American Publishers Award for Professional and Scholarly Excellence in the “Art Exhibitions” category. is book and the exhibition were organized by the Newberry Library in partnership with, and through major support from, the Terra Foundation for American Art. 47

BOOK FAIR AND BUGHOUSE Join us this summer from July 24 to 27, as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Book Fair! To mark this notable occasion, we’ll be adding a variety of special activities to our annual, unrivaled oﬀering of used cookbooks, mysteries, romances, biographies, travel books, collectibles, and more. Many of the items are priced at $2, which means compiling a summer reading list or even a whole library has never been easier. Admission is free and all proceeds support the Newberry.

On Saturday, July 26, the Newberry hosts the annual Bughouse Square Debates. For 28 years, this free-speech celebration has brought thinkers, advocates, shouters, and rebels to Washington Square Park, popularly known as Bughouse Square. is year’s speakers will grapple with hot-button issues, weather the jeers of a lively crowd, and compete for the coveted Dill Pickle Award, given to the champion soap box speaker. Starting in the 1910s, and continuing for decades, Washington Square Park attracted all manner of people who wanted to make a point through public oratory—poets and Bohemians, academics and anarchists, and religionists of all persuasions. Speakers perched on soapboxes, pontificating before crowds of curious, if disruptive, bystanders. is verbal brouhaha was quieted by the onset of World War II and later disappeared altogether. Fortunately, it was revived in 1986 and became what it remains, an annual mecca for public discourse. e 2014 Bughouse Square Debates are generously sponsored by William Blair & Company.

AUGUST Genealogy and Local History Orientation Saturday, August 2, 9:30 am

In comparison to the South, the far West, and New England, the history of the Midwest has been sadly neglected. In addition to outlining the centrality of the Midwest to crucial moments in American history, Jon K. Lauck resurrects the long-forgotten stories of the institutions founded by an earlier generation of midwestern historians. The Lost Region demonstrates the importance of the Midwest, the depth of historical work once written about the region, and the continuing insights that can be gleaned from this body of knowledge, all with the intent of finding the forgotten center of the nation and developing a robust historiography of the Midwest. Attorney, historian, and senior advisor and counsel to South Dakota Senator John Thune, Jon K. Lauck is the author of three books on midwestern political and economic history and the coauthor and coeditor of a collection of essays on South Dakota’s political culture.

Meet the Author Michael Blanding, The Map Thief: The Gripping Story of an Esteemed Rare-Map Dealer Who Made Millions Stealing Priceless Maps Saturday, September 27, 1 pm Maps have long exerted a special fascination on viewers—as beautiful works of art and as practical navigational tools. But to those who collect them, the map trade can be a cutthroat business, inhabited by quirky and sometimes disreputable characters in search of a finite number of extremely rare objects. Once considered a respectable antiquarian map dealer, E. Forbes Smiley spent years doubling as a map thief—until he was finally arrested slipping maps out of books in the Yale University library. The Map Thief delves into the untold history of this fascinating high-stakes criminal and the inside story of the industry that consumed him.

Michael Blanding is an author and journalist with more than fifteen years of experience writing long-form narrative and investigative journalism and has written for The Nation, The New Republic, Consumers Digest, and The Boston Globe Magazine.

In the context of relatively recent public criticism of the city by critic and writer Rachel Shteir, Thomas Dyja, author of Third Coast, and Neil Steinberg, author of You Were Never in Chicago, will debate Chicago as the Second City and its place in American history and culture.

Meet the Author Miriam Pawel, The Crusades of Cesar Chavez: A Biography Tuesday, October 7, 6 pm Cesar Chavez founded a labor union, launched a movement, and inspired a generation. He rose from migrant worker to national icon, becoming one of the great charismatic leaders of the twentieth century. Two decades after his death, Chavez remains the most significant Latino leader in US history. In the first comprehensive biography of Chavez, Miriam Pawel offers a searching yet empathetic portrayal. Chavez emerges as a visionary figure with tragic flaws; a brilliant strategist who sometimes stumbled. He was an experimental thinker with eclectic passions—an avid, selfeducated historian and a disciple of Gandhian non-violent protest. Pawel’s biography deepens our understanding of one of Chavez’s most salient qualities: his profound humanity.

Miriam Pawel is the author of The Union of Their Dreams, widely acclaimed as the most nuanced history of Cesar Chavez’s movement. She is a Pulitzer-winning editor who spent twenty-five years working for Newsday and the Los Angeles Times.
