Many think the Museum’s collection is its key product, but our real business and most valuable asset is the social network produced by the collection. To me, the human energy that sparks inspired exchanges and connections among those who visit the Museum is what makes collecting rewarding and even critical in our shared identity.

I vividly remember selecting items from our Pan-Am collection to create a calendar featuring object collages of the Museum’s treasures. This month’s cover of The Album, pays throwback homage to that project. Hired in 1998 for my background in collections, I enjoyed focusing on the Pan-Am collection and learning its stories for four years. Nearly everything I know about the six-month exposition, I learned from working with TBHM’s collection.

collector in residence? In my household, no acquisitive genes were skipped when it came to collecting among my kids! You can image how having FOUR collectors under one roof would stir endless conversations for all who would visit our home; and which, I feel is precisely the point of history keeping.

Rebecca Justinger Registrar One of The Buffalo History Museum’s legendary collectors was Julius E. Francis (1822-1881), a drug store owner in Buffalo, who dedicated his life to preserving and commemorating the memory of President Abraham Lincoln. Francis was a fanatic collector of Lincoln memorabilia and spent most of his free time honoring the 16th President of the United States. Born in Wethersfield, Connecticut, in 1822, he came to Buffalo in 1835, became a pharmacist with Charles Coleman in 1839, and remained in that occupation for almost 35 years. Francis founded the Lincoln Birthday Association of Buffalo and accumulated a massive collection of Lincoln artifacts and memorabilia that he bequeathed to the Association along with a generous fund that, by 1900, had grown to $10,000. The members of the Lincoln Birthday Association agreed to spend a large portion of the fund to commission a statue of Lincoln. A committee made up of the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society (now The Buffalo History Museum) and Association members decided that the Museum would receive and display the Lincoln statue, titled “The President.” The statue was made by Charles Henry Niehaus out of bronze, placed in the State Court, and was revealed to the public on September 30, 1902, during the dedication of the new building. In the 1930’s, the Lincoln statue was moved out of the State Court and onto the portico where it remains to this day, gazing out over Mirror Lake. In addition to the iconic Lincoln statue, the Lincoln Birthday Association donated all of Julius Francis’ relics, books, and documents to The Buffalo History Museum.

One of our most requested artifacts to view is the McKinley assassination weapon. On Sept. 6, 1901, anarchist Leon Czolgosz stood in line to meet President William McKinley at Buffalo’s Pan American Exposition. A white linen handkerchief wrapped around his right hand concealed a revolver. As he approached the President, Czolgosz fired twice. The first bullet bounced off McKinley’s chest; the second ripped through his stomach. A crowd immediately descended upon the assassin, beating him and tackling him to the ground. Czolgosz was taken to police custody; McKinley into emergency surgery. President McKinley died of an infection on Sept. 14, eight days after the attack. His body was ceremoniously taken from Buffalo to Washington, D.C. and finally to McKinley’s home town of Canton, Ohio. Czolgosz was tried for murder and convicted, confessing, “I killed President McKinley because I done my duty. I did not feel that one man should have so much service, and another man should have none.” Shortly after his death, Czolgosz’s handgun was presented to The Buffalo History Museum by Erie County District Attorney Thomas Penney. Along with the gun, The Museum acquired the bullets, handcuffs, and white handkerchief used to conceal the weapon, because Penney thought they “should be saved for historical significance.” You can help us relocate the assassination gun, bullets, handkerchief and handcuffs to Neighbors, to better share one of the most iconic artifacts in our collection with thousands of visitors annually. The project cost to exhibit the gun is $10,000- including casework, artifact mounts, security alarms, and interpretation. Name Address City

Bflo. Made! 1991-2015

Reconnect the community with the artifacts that make Western New York unique


Restore, Reactivate, Reconnect:

Investing in our National Historic Landmark To be the history hub our deeply-rooted community deserves, we can no longer allow obsolete space to languish. We are reclaiming 6,000 square feet of space – nearly 30% of our current footprint – within the 1901 Pan Am building.

Restoration creates space for more programs, more exhibitions, and more ways for you to experience history The second floor west gallery, formerly occupied by Bflo Made!, will be renovated into flexible use gallery space. In 1991, Bflo Made! opened as a 3,400 sq. ft. premiere exhibition. It was constructed during a trend of immersive galleries: Bflo Made! intended to give the illusion of traveling through the Erie Canal Pathway with tall casework representing grain elevators. Demolishing the exhibit and restoring the distinctive features of the space gives the Museum flexibility we did not have for 24 years due to a large scale exhibit that cost $1.1 million in 1991- an investment unsustainable in successive operating budgets. Revitalizing this space creates opportunities for more exhibitions, programs and collaborations. In Fall 2017, the first exhibition in the renovated space, Icons: The Makers & Moments of Buffalo Sports, will open. Featured sections will highlight Western New York’s top iconic sports moments, greatest teams and figures. These sections will be determined by members of the communityplease share your memories with us! Millions of people experienced Bflo Made! during its 24 year run. The stories and artifacts shared are inextricable from our history. We are working to reinterpret these stories in future exhibits. The Apostolic Clock, a guest favorite, is now among the first artifacts our visitors see upon entering. We are also creating a schedule of video offerings to screen in our Auditorium.

RECLAIMING SPACE UNDER THE PORTICO LEVERAGES ONE OF OUR GREATEST ASSETS OUR PARKSIDE CONNECTION The second space to reopen is the 2,600 sq. ft. area underneath our portico. Once a vibrant space filled with artifacts, energy and users, the space under the portico has been closed for nearly 30 years due to damage from water infiltration. The space was first used as an entryway, reception area and bicycle storage during the 1901 Pan American Exposition. After the Pan Am, the building transitioned in purpose to become the permanent home of The Buffalo History Museum, and exhibitions were installed. From providing an entryway to the park to our duty of preserving the only standing structure of the 1901 Pan American Exposition, impact is distinctive and immediate once the space is reactivated. Substantial opportunities-both encouraging new and enhancing old, arise with partners like the Friends of the Japanese Garden, cycling community, Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper, and Olmsted Park, once historic entryways and space under the portico reopens to the parks and Mirror Lake. The fundraising goal for Restore, Reactivate, Reconnect is $1,425,000. We have raised 30% of our goal to date. For information on ways to support, please contact Kimberly Luangpakdy, director of development, at (716) 873-9644 ext. 322 or at kluangpakdy@buffalohistory.org. 7


Icons will be one-of-a-kind history exhibit that reaches out to Buffalo’s citizenry of all ages. You will relive magical moments at a game, cheer for your favorite players, and introduce future generations to some of the greatest moments in the city’s history. With your help, Icons will be tailor-made for Buffalo. Provide insights here: Share your first Buffalo sports memory.

What do you feel are the most memorable moments in Western New York sports history? Examples: Mike Stratton’s “hit heard around the world” on San Diego’s Kieth Lincoln; Knox brothers purchase NHL franchise

Who do you consider to be the most iconic sports figures in Western New York sports history? Please consider all professional sports and do not limit yourself only to players. Select anyone you would deem most important, memorable, inspirational, or influential. Examples: John Tavares, 24 seasons with the Bandits and multiple NLL record holder; Rick Jeanneret, the longest tenured NHL play-by-play announcer and voice of the Sabres

You can also find a professional appraiser at: www.appraisers.org. Q. I have a deteriorating book/newspaper/painting/ something else and I was wondering if you could tell me what to do with it.

Cynthia Van Ness, MLS Director of Library & Archives I must have been born for a career involving the acquisition and care of stuff, because as a kid, I collected coins, stamps, matchbooks, Wacky Packages (anyone remember those?), Scholastic Books paperbacks, and more that I’ve probably forgotten. I was heartbroken when my parents got a $5 silver certificate in change and spent it instead of letting me have it. I was all of 8.

A. Conservation is highly skilled profession, requiring a background in chemistry, art history, and much more. We do not have conservators on staff so we cannot offer conservation advice. For our own deteriorating objects, we work with independent practitioners. Buffalo is unusually fortunate to be the home of one of only three professional conservation training schools in the U.S. I refer, of course, to the Art Conservation program at Buffalo State College. If you have a deteriorating artifact, this school can refer you to a professional conservator. http://artconservation.buffalostate.edu/ You can also find a professional conservator here: www.conservation-us.org/membership/find-a-conservator Q. What is the one piece of advice that you give to collectors?

A. We’re so glad you asked! We urge you to follow the first law of professional conservation: never do anything With the advent of eBay, every kid and adult can be a irreversible to your valuables. Never apply adhesive tape of collector of anything without spending a fortune. Lots of any kind. Never glue it together with epoxy. Never laminate Buffalonians collect local memorabilia, from beer cans to it. Never write on it with permanent ink (ballpoint pen, Magic postcards to Buffalo-made products. So this column answers Marker). Never apply plastic or synthetic coatings. And some frequently-asked questions about private collecting. never store it in your attic (too hot and dry) or your basement (too cold and damp). Q. How do you determine if a book is rare? A. We’re indebted to the Rare Book Room at the Central Library for this answer. In simple terms, a book is considered rare when demand for it exceeds supply. Age is not the most important factor. A twenty-year-old first edition of a novel from a major author is probably more “rare” than a centuryold edition of Mark Twain, whose books sold in the millions. Q. I have an old book/newspaper/painting/something else and I was wondering if you could tell me what it is worth. A. This one is easy: Museums are prohibited by the IRS from appraising private property. Even when museums host appraisal events (anything like Antiques Road Show), all of the experts on hand are outside professionals, never museum staff. On Pawn Stars, museum curators sometimes authenticate objects on camera but you’ll notice that they never suggest how to price them. To get an independent valuation of your collectible, we suggest looking it up on eBay to see what comparable objects are going for. Used book websites, of which there are many, are an easy way to determine book values. Several are listed here: http://goodereader.com/blog/e-book-news/here-are-thebest-used-book-websites 10

Collectors that we are, we’ve collected professional conservation advice and links for all kinds of artifacts and memorabilia, courtesy of the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, and other experts. Happy browsing!
