Discover Local HerStory at BPL!

As Women’s History Month comes to a close, the Birmingham Public Library invites you to utilize its Special Collections to learn more about the lives, roles, and status of women in Alabama’s past. What you will find is a vast array of personalities, mostly named but many unnamed, who played a vital part in the development of the state’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.
Speaking of unnamed - once upon a time, in the U.S. Census, womens’ names were listed only if they were the head of the household. That’s right, prior to 1850, a woman’s presence in a male-headed household was noted only by a hash mark. Beginning in 1850, women’s names were included, but not those of slaves. The 1870 U.S. Census is particularly significant for anyone researching women because, from that point forward, all women’s names were included, regardless of race. Census records can be found on several of the library’s subscription computer databases or on microfilm in the Microforms Room.
Women are also well represented in military pension application files. The Microforms Room has pension application files from the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. Although most applications were submitted by the veterans themselves, many were tendered by veterans’ widows. In addition to providing useful genealogical information like names, birthdates, and birthplaces, these applications may also include fascinating details about the applicant’s lives, such as the kind and extent of their real and personal property holdings.
Newspaper Clipping Files, which are kept both in the Southern History Department and the Microforms Room, are great resources for information about the famous and the not so famous women who have lived in Birmingham or elsewhere in Alabama. Women’s contributions in aviation, law, ministry, medicine, and government service, are just a few topics covered in these files...
The Surname Vertical Files are another terrific source for press coverage of Alabama women. These consist of 662 reels of microfilm that contain copies of news clippings that document the lives and activities of people who lived in Alabama during the 20th century. Created by the staff of the Alabama Department of Archives and History, the files get their name from the fact that they are organized alphabetically by the person’s or family’s last name.
Last, but certainly not least, the library’s Department of Archives and Manuscripts has worked diligently over the years to collect material that serves to shed light on the history of women in the Magic City and beyond. Take a look at the some these collections regarding individual women and organizations. There is even a digital collection available on women artists.

Kentucky Sends Ohio State Home

Big BlueThe SEC has Ohio State’s number. Time after time, sport after sport, SEC teams prevent Ohio State from winning championships. Last night, No. 4 seed Kentucky beat overall No. 1 seed Ohio State to advance to the Elite Eight. Freshman guard Brandon Knight hit a jump shot with seconds left in the game to put Kentucky ahead 62-60. Ohio State attempted a three-point shot with time running out, but the shot bounced off the rim. It was a huge upset for Ohio State not to advance from the Sweet Sixteen.

Flash back to 2007. The Florida Gators defeated Ohio State in the NCAA Tournament to win the national championship, 84-75. Earlier in the year, the Gators football team defeated Ohio State 41-14 to win the national championship. Ohio State advanced to the national championship game the following year to face the LSU Tigers who defeated them 38-24.


I’m not picking on Ohio State, but no matter how good their teams are, they can’t seem to get past the SEC. If you haven't guessed by now, I’m a big fan of SEC football and basketball. I know I should pick a team and ignore the others, but I cheer for the conference. I celebrated Auburn’s football championship and Alabama’s championship the previous year. I was thrilled when Florida won back-to-back championships in basketball. I’m pulling for Florida and Kentucky this year to make it to the Final Four. If the SEC wins, I win. I know this makes no sense to a lot of people, but to them I say: Roll Tide! War Eagle! Go Gators! Go Big Blue! You get the point.


The Final Four tips off in Houston on April 2. Hopefully, Florida and Kentucky will be in attendance. Between games, come check out the library's collection on college basketball and March Madness. The Basketball Subject Guide includes links to help keep you up-to-date on college basketball. Enjoy the rest of the tournament.

Find Your Irish Roots at the Library!


What better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than to delve into your Irish ancestry? If you know, or if you have an inkling, that your forebearers immigrated to the United States from the Emerald Isle, then the Birmingham Public Library has the resources to help you track your ancestors down.

The best place to start your Irish genealogy search is with the U.S. Census records. These records are available from 1790 to 1930 (1940 becomes available in 2012). Beginning with the 1850 Census, the place of birth of each household member member was included. Even better for genealogists, beginning in 1880, respondents were also asked to name the place of birth of their parents. U.S. Census records can be searched on three databases that the library subscribes to (Ancestry, FamilySearch, and HeritageQuest), and also are available on microfilm for the Southeastern United States in Microforms Room of the Government Documents department.

Ship passenger lists are another rich source of information for the names of Irish immigrants who made the voyage to the United States from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. These lists usually include the passenger's name, country of origin, and occupation. At the Birmingham Public Library, you will find an excellent collection of passenger lists, and indexes to passenger lists, available on computer databases, microfilm, and in books.

Naturalization records can also be a treasure trove of genealogical data for anyone looking for an Irish ancestor. Place and date of birth, date of arrival to the U.S., names of spouses and children, and residence at the time of naturalization are among the facts that can be found in these types of records.

Less obvious as sources of Irish genealogical information, but potentially as enlightening, are military service records and pension applications. The library's Microforms Room houses an extensive collection of microfilm containing such records for soliders who served in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, and World War I. How might these records help me in my search for my Irish ancestors, you ask? Well, for example, Company I of the 8th Alabama Infantry was a Confederate unit that was known as the Emerald Guard because 104 of the 109 men who served in it were of Irish descent. Who knows, maybe your great-great-great grandfather was a member of the Emerald Guard?

To get a better idea of what the Birmingham Public Library has that might help you discover the Irish branches and limbs of your family tree, visit us in Government Documents or the Southern History department or call 205-226-3625.

Come see our books on Irish genealogy!

"I Hunt Until I Am Mad"



I have recently discovered that the Where's Waldo? books are not just for juveniles. In our household searching for Waldo has brought my husband and me closer together. Long after my son has lost interest in finding that famous world traveler and left to play LEGO Star Wars, my husband and I will still be searching, our eyes burning from lack of blinking, wearing our glasses on top of our heads to get a closer look at the busy pages, working as a team, striving for our personal best, trying to one-up the other.

Where's Waldo? is a series of books illustrated by Martin Handford where the reader is supposed to locate a tall, colorfully-dressed, bespectacled man hidden amid a crowded landscape. Could be the beach. Could be a museum. Or it could be the Castle of the Nasty Nasties. Sometimes he is found at a glance, other times you must hunt until you are mad, as Werner Herzog eerily warns.

Some fun facts about Where's Waldo:

  • Where's Waldo? began as Where's Wally? in the UK in 1987, and took two years to draw.
  • Waldo traveled alone for the first two books, and the additional characters Odlaw, Woof, Wenda, Wizard Whitebeard, and the Waldo Watchers joined him in later bookWhere's Wally and the gangs.
  • Odlaw, Waldo's bumble-bee outfitted arch-nemesis, is Waldo spelled backwards.
  • Each Waldo scene takes eight weeks to draw.
  • Handford's favorite picture is "A Tremendous Song and Dance" from Where's Wally? In Hollywood.
  • Each scene in Where's Waldo? The Wonder Book contains 3,000-4,000 figures.
  • The 10th anniversary edition of Where's Waldo? relocated Waldo in each scene.
  • Where's Waldo? ranks #87 on ALA's 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books list (1990-1999) because of a topless woman in a beach scene. She was covered up for the 1997 special release edition.

Children’s Author Ashley Bryan’s Illustrations on Display at Birmingham Public Library

book cover
Birmingham Public Library and the UAB School of Education Curriculum and Instruction Department present Rhythms of the Heart: The Illustrations of Ashley Bryan. Rhythms of the Heart will exhibit works on loan from the National Center for Illustrated Children’s Literature. This exhibit is made possible in part by a grant from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and National Endowment for the Arts. The collection will be on display from April 11 through May 20 at Central Library’s 4th Floor Gallery. Central Library will host a reception honoring Ashley Bryan on Thursday, April 28, 2011, at 6:30 p.m. For information on additional programs check the BPL calendar or call 226-3742.

In a career spanning over 48 years, celebrated children’s author and illustrator Ashley Bryan has amassed many accomplishments. Bryan wrote his first book at age 5—an alphabet primer for his kindergarten class; he was one of the few African American students to be awarded a scholarship to the Cooper Union Art School; he taught art at Queen’s College and was professor emeritus at Dartmouth College. Not published until he was 40 years old, Bryan was the first African American to publish a children’s book as both author and illustrator.

Ashley Bryan’s first work as a professional children’s book illustrator began in the late 1960s, and were retellings of folk tales from India and France. When he came across some African folk tales for young people whose English text he considered stiff, he retold them using translations by anthropologists and missionaries who spent time in Africa. Educators and library professionals give Bryan’s work high marks for the sensitivity and exuberance brought to each story. He has won nine Coretta Scott King Awards and a Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal for lasting contribution to children’s literature. When asked about his indefatigable energy and his life as teacher, writer, and artist, he replied: “I don’t really understand what one means by years. I approach everything as if I’ve just begun. I’m always discovering a new world and always have the urge to keep developing. Each time I finish something, I can’t wait to start again and do something even better.”

Birmingham Bound Presents Torch: Birmingham’s Roman God of the Forge

Vulcan
Torch is a short documentary that examines one of Birmingham’s most unique landmarks. In the early 20th century, the city commissioned a giant cast-iron statue of Vulcan, the Roman god of the forge. The statue, the largest of its kind in the world, would symbolize Birmingham's iron and steel industry. However, just a few short years later, another use for the statue was put into action. A group of civil activists suggested that the city utilize Vulcan as a reminder for its citizens to drive carefully. A light was erected in place of Vulcan's spear, which would glow red in the case of a traffic fatality. This civic project, which was only supposed to last for six weeks, remained active for 53 years. Torch explores the history of this phenomenon, and the impact that it had on the people of Birmingham.

Freewheelin' Suze Rotolo Dead at 67

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan“It was freezing out. He wore a very thin jacket, because image was all. Our apartment was always cold, so I had a sweater on, plus I borrowed one of his big, bulky sweaters. On top of that I put on a coat. So I felt like an Italian sausage. Every time I look at that picture, I think I look fat.” - Suze Rotolo

I bet The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album cover stirs a lot of good memories in a lot of people. It does for me, and I arrived late to the folk scene. In fact, Freewheelin' was released two years before I was even born. But I've loved poetry and rhymes since I first learned to read, and I think that's why folk music appealed to me when most of my peers were listening to Madonna and A Flock of Seagulls. The purity of a story comes through so clearly in a folk song.

In the '80s my dad bought me a 1967 Toyota Corolla and had it painted candy apple red. For years while I was building up my record collection, I would hop in that Toyota just about every Saturday and cruise down Shannon Road, headed for the Bessemer Flea Market where I would scour the booths for old folk albums. Freewheelin' was one of the many scratchy treasures I found there.

What's appealing about this album cover is how intimate it is: a candid photograph of a couple walking through the streets of New York City. That's Bob Dylan's girl at that time—17-year-old Suze Rotolo—hanging on to his arm. They say she was his muse for a while, and that you can pick out pieces of her in the classic Dylan songs "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," "One Too Many Mornings," "Tomorrow Is a Long Time," "Boots of Spanish Leather," and the harsh break-up song, "Ballad in Plain D."

Upon first laying eyes on her, Dylan said she was the most erotic thing he had ever seen, a "fair skinned and golden haired, full-blood Italian." They dated for three years, and then Dylan moved on to Joan Baez and soon after married Sara Lownds. In 1967 Rotolo married Italian film director Enzo Bartoccioli. Rotolo died February 24 after a long battle with lung cancer. She is survived by her husband, sister, and son, Luca.

If you want to know more about the smiling girl on the Dylan album cover, she published her memoir, A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties, in 2008.
