From a Love of History: Exploring the A.S. Williams III Americana Collection

September 2013-January 2014, March-April 2014
Amy Chen and Stephen Rowe
Displayed in the Williams Reading Room on the third level of the Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library, this exhibition investigates the myraid strengths of the A.S. Williams III Americana collection. The first level shows the Battle House Hotel guest register opened to highlight the signature of Helen Keller's father, Authur Keller. The Pearce foyer on the second level of the Gorgas Library holds a series of cases demonstrating the history, culture, military service, and universities of African Americans in Alabama. Of special interest are the cases on the Tuskegee Institute, which hold materials relating to the intellectual achievements of Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver. On the third level, cases are dedicated to topics ranging from Alabama tourism to the financing of the American Revolution. Lottery tickets signed by the founding fathers, including one signed by President George Washington, can be found in the reading room of the Williams collection. Also located in the reading room are a series of displays on Southern literature and photography. 

Recent Acquisitions: Reverand James McClung Sieg Journal from Belgian Congo

November 2013-May 2014
Amy Chen
Recent acquisitions are shown in the reading room of Gorgas Library. This manuscript journal was created when Reverend James McClung Sieg was serving as a missionary for the American Presbyterian Congo Mission in the Belgium Congo in 1907-1908.  Frequently mentioned in the journal is Stillman College graduate Rev. William Henry Sheppard. Rev. Sheppard (1865-1927) was one of the earliest African Americans to become a missionary for the Presbyterian Church.  In fact, the majority of the Presbyterian missionaries in the Congo were African Americans.  Sheppard left New York in 1890 with his white supervisor, Samuel N. Lapsley of Alabama, who died within his first year in Africa. Sheppard spent more than twenty years in the Congo, primarily in and around the Congo Free State and is best known for his efforts to publicize the atrocities committed against the Kuba and other Congolese peoples by King Leopold of Belgium.  Sheppard’s efforts contributed to the contemporary debate on European colonialism and imperialism in the region, particularly amongst those of the African American community. Today’s Central Alabama presbytery, encompassing Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, bears the name of Sheppards and Lapsley Presbytery. Photographic historian Frances Robb donated two photographs of Rev. Sheppard to Special Collections in honor of the retirement of Clarke Center.

Recent Acquisitions: Alabama Railroads Station Plans collection 

November 2013-May 2014
Amy Chen
Recent acquisitions are shown in the reading room of the Gorgas Library. Featured here are a few of the over 140 plans for railroad stations and their associated buildings in a wide variety of cities and towns in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and a few in Illinois and Indiana. The plans are mostly stylistically consistent measured drawings, drafted in the prevailing conventions of the day, and show facades of stations, interior details, waiting rooms, privies, crossing signs, telegraph offices, train sheds, decorative plaster work, etc. Many of the plans are annotated, some are dated, and many originate from the home office in Louisville. The collection is a fascinating compendium of material shedding light on the history of railroad architecture, particularly in the southern tier of the US around the turn of the 20th century. Most of the plans bear the label L&NRR--the Louisville and Nashville Railroad--which was created in 1850, when it was granted a charter by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Amy Chen
The Miniature Book Society (MBS) traveling exhibition and the Kate W. Ragsdale Memorial Miniature Book Collection will be combined into one display viewable in the Pearce Lobby of the Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library during the months of April and May. The MBS exhibition is generously sponsored by the Alabama Center for the Book. Dean Louis A. Pitschmann created the Memorial Miniature Book Collection to honor Kate Ragsdale’s service to the University Libraries. Together, these two shows highlight the artistry required to create miniature books.

The Miniature Book Society’s (MBS) traveling exhibition, featuring a diverse range of items showcasing the history of the art form, rotates through different sites throughout the year. The show will conclude its tour at the MBS’ three-day convention this August in Boston, Massachusetts. The Kate Ragsdale Memorial Miniature Book Collection, on show for the first time, contains ninety-six books from eleven countries, including Austria, France, Great Britain, Israel, the Soviet Union, and the United States. The Bible in miniature: or a Concise History of the Old & New Testaments [sic], published in 1780, is the oldest book in the collection. A wide variety of American presses are represented. Additionally, a series of miniature editions of Shakespeare’s plays can be found.
 
The Memorial Miniature Book Collection was created to recognize Kate Ragsdale’s life and career following her death in 2013. Ragsdale earned a BA from Sweet Briar College and a MLS from The University of Alabama. She began her career as a Program Coordinator in the College of Business and Commerce before joining the Libraries administration team as a planning officer in 1987. Ragsdale managed construction and renovation projects, including the building of Mary Harmon Bryant Hall and the Library Annex, during her over twenty years of service at the Capstone. Ragsdale frequently served as an officer in organizations such as the Alabama Library Association, the Special Libraries Association, and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). In 2004, she received the UA Library Leadership Award for faculty. In 2012, she won the UA School of Library and Information Studies Alumni Award.

Crawford, a retired University of Alabama professor who takes up a new profession; detective work. The first two bodies and their corresponding books beg readers to ask: whodunit? Walter Bennett also circles familiar ground. In Leaving Tuscaloosa, Richeboux Branscomb's prank unintentionally leads to the death of a black preacher. Acee Waites, Borsquo's childhood best friend, must choose whether or not to become a preacher himself in the dangerous climate of 1962. Will Waites accept a role as a leader of the civil rights movement and remain in Tuscaloosa or will he leave, escaping the sadism of chief deputy Sugarman Starnes at the expense of fulfilling his duty?

1968: The Year That Changed the World

Jessica Lacher-Feldman
1968: The Year that Changed the World is an opportunity to reflect on this significant year through the lens of the materials in the Hoole Library. Forty years after 1968, we still look upon that year as a pivotal one in the worlds of politics, culture, art, music, and literature. Through our print collections, sound recordings, and more, this exhibit offers some insight into life both on the UA campus and in the world during 1968. That year, among other events, the university brought Robert Kennedy to campus as part of the Emphasis program in March, just three months before he was assassinated and the first African-American student association was established on campus.

Audubon meets T.P. Thompson meets the Illusive Ivory Billed Woodpecker

Jessica Lacher-Feldman
Predicated on UA professor Dr. Michael Steinberg's book, Stalking the Ghost Bird: The Elusive Ivory-Billed Woodpecker in Louisiana (LSU Press, 2008), this exhibition highlights the collection of T.P. Thompson. Thompson's over 10,0000 books founded the W.S. Hoole Special Collections Library's Rare Books Collection in 1938. Over four decades later, in the 1970s, the Hoole Library acquired Thompson's papers, which provide great insight into his passionate hobby as a collector of books and other materials. One highlight of the exhibit is a portrait of Audubon, which has been purported to be the only self-portrait the artist ever did. Another highlight of Thompson's collection and of the exhibit is an important association copy (a seven volume set) of the first octavo edition of Birds of America, published in 1839-1844 by the author & by J.B. Chevailier, Philadelphia. It is inscribed by Audubon and presented to his sister-in-law, Eliza Berthoud. 

2007

Hear Hair Here - Hairdos and Hair Don'ts from the Hoole Library's Sound Recording Collections

Jessica Lacher-Feldman
Hair in all shapes and sizes grace the album covers selected from the W.S. Hoole Special Collections Library's sound recording collections. The Hoole Library holds a vast collection of sound recordings from all genres including Opera, Classical, Country, Gospel, Rock, and Popular music. There’s no mistaking these looks – the typical hairstyles that are clearly of an era, or those hairstyles that transcend time and place. The 1950s gave us crew cuts and that June Cleaver perky and perfectly coiffed look. The 1960s were ushered in with D.A.’s and pompadours and ended with “anything goes” – in fact, your hairstyle in the late 1960s spoke volumes of your political beliefs and stance on the war in Vietnam. The early 1970s were a time when the anything-goes look spread to the general public, where shaggy and longer became de rigeur on even the most straight-laced people. The 1970s also brought the Afro to incredible new heights and gave us the ultra feathered look of the disco era for both men and women. The 1980s bringsto mind heavy metal “hair bands”, mullets, new wave spikes and asymmetry, and let’s not forget the perm showcased here on Barbara Streisand. 

Great Expectations: Dickens meets Goetzel meets the WPA

Amy Allen and Jessica Lacher-Feldman 
A collection of Dickens characters figurines used as teaching tools in the 1930s on, these figurines were created as part of the WPA-funded project, the Alabama Visual Education Program. The Alabama Visual Education Project came out of cooperation between The State Department of Education and the Visual Education Project of the Work Projects Administration. The Visual Education Project provided a way for public schools in Alabama to purchase high quality visual aids for education purposes at a low cost. Some of these items are now housed in the Hoole Special Collections Library, including a catalog from 1940 listing items which were available for purchase by Alabama public schools. 

Inscribed items by Alabama native Helen Keller: A Gift of Betsy Plank

Jessica Lacher-Feldman
A selection of items inscribed by Alabama native, Helen Keller (1880 -1968), a longtime friend of UA alum Ms. Betsy Plank’s family. Plank became known as "public relations' first lady" and, in 2004, the UA Board of Trustees adopted a resolution establishing the Betsy Plank Center for Public Relations Studies to promote "effective and ethical representation of institutions, organizations, ideas, and individuals." The photograph and the book Midstream are inscribed to her aunt Adeline by Ms. Keller, her teacher Anne Sullivan, and Ms. Keller’s companion, Polly Thompson. The book, Helen Keller’s Journal, is inscribed to Bettye Hood Plank, Ms. Plank’s mother.

Clinging to Mammy: The Faithful Slave in Twentieth-Century America

Portia Barker
The myth of the faithful slave lingers because so many white Americans have wished to live in a world in which African Americans are not angry over past and present injustices, a world in which the injustices themselves—of slavery, Jim Crow, and ongoing structural racism—seem not to exist at all. The mammy figure affirmed their wishes. The narrative of the faithful slave is deeply rooted in the American racial imagination. It is a story of our national past and political future that blurs the lines between myth and memory, guilt and justice, stereotype and individuality, commodity and humanity. 

Ten Nights in a Bar Room

Jessica Lacher-Feldman
Assembled over two decades by John W. Crowley, Professor of English at the University of Alabama, this collection has been presented by him and his wife, Emily Smith Crowley, in honor of her parents, Jeanne N. and Joseph M. Smith, who died a month apart late in 2005. The Smith Collection consists of several hundred volumes, published between the late eighteenth century to the present that document facets of drug and alcohol use and abuse in the United States. Holdings represent such historical phenomena as the Temperance Movement (especially the role of the Washingtonian Society during the 1840s), Prohibition, and the rise of the modern Recovery Movement (especially the origins of Alcoholics Anonymous). On the premise that so multifarious a subject demands the differing perspectives and methodologies of various academic disciplines, the Smith collection places narrative histories beside medical texts, political and moral polemics, psychological and sociological investigations, biographies and autobiographies, as well as literary expressions in fiction and poetry. The Smith Collection, already rich and diverse, is regarded nonetheless as essentially incomplete:  a living body of knowledge, the heart of an ever-expanding archive to be augmented by future contributions. This exhibition presented highlights from the Smith collection. 

They Came, They Saw, They Reported: Images from the World Press Coverage of "Segregation's Last Stand" at The University of Alabama

Jessica Lacher-Feldman
"They Came, They Saw, They Reported," features Camille Elebash's June 1963 photographs taken for her Tuscaloosa, Alabama weekly newspaper, The Graphic.

The show was held in conjunction with a lecture by Hank Klibanoff, co-author of the 2007 Pulitizer Prize winner for History, The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation (Knopf, 2006).
