In these series, the Museum publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of its constituent museums—The Museum of Natural History and the Museum of History and Technology—setting forth newly acquired facts in the fields of anthropology, biology, history, geology, and technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries, to cultural and scientific organiza- tions, and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers from the Museum of Natural History. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation.

  • Zhang, Li-Bisexual and Invisible Memory- Gendered Design History
    1st Research Grant for The Study of Domestic Appliances Bisexual and Invisible Memory: Gendered Design History of Domestic Sewing Machine, 1850-1950 Zhang, Li “An identity is projected for the artifact by its positioning in the store and also by advertising, point-of-sale material, instruction booklets, the way it is spoken about, the sales pitch . .Gender is unavoidably at work in the whole life trajectory of a technology.” (Cockburn & Ormrod, 1993:156) Gender is unavoidably working through the history of sewing machine design, from its technological invention to the cultural popularization, from its superficial feminine appearance to the essential complicated mechanism. Male inventor or engineer were in charge of its production, while the costumer in mainstream went to women. Sewing machine as the material artifact was an aggregation on which women played their gender performance, including the mother’s love to children, femininity charming to husband, housewife’s industriousness to family, proficient skill and confidence to social community. Sewing machine, the one of most common domestic appliances, was barely invisible in the literatures of design history. One of the reasons, in large part, may go to its major operator was female, which was the marginal gender identity, absented in the historic or realistic contents. The history of domestic sewing machine can be traced back to the mid-19th century, however only was presented as the technological invention within the Industrial Revolution or American System of Manufacturing by description of the patent information (Cooper, 1968; Bourne, 1895), whilst being lost of the alive cultural stories. This paper sought to provide a more interesting and multilevel perspective of sewing machine, as the designed artifact with which embedded the contextual interpretations, both from the hard (design history) and soft (gender) views.

  • Crochet and Knitting in an Age of Progress Case 4 Introduction
    I NDUSTRY AND C ONSUMERISM ____________________________________________________ Crochet and Knitting in an Age of Progress Case 4 Introduction The birth of American industrialization is often credited to Samuel Slater, an immigrant from England who in 1790 constructed the first successful American cotton-spinning mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. As a protégé of Jebediah Strutt (partner of Richard Arkwright, the inventor of the water-powered spinning machine), Slater had been exposed to all phases of the factory system prior to his arrival in the United States. However, it was not until 1813 that the factory system was applied to the entire textile industry. Francis Cabot Lowell and his associates built the first American manufacturing company to process raw cotton into finished cloth. By 1815 hundreds of textile mills were in operation and household fabric production had become limited to rural communities. After the war of 1812 improvements in transportation further fueled the ensuing industrial revolution. The opening of canals provided access to the anthracite region of Pennsylvania in the late 1820s, fostering the emergence of steam-powered mills across New England. Railroad construction followed, facilitating the development of a national market for all manufactures. By the mid-nineteenth century nearly all fabric production was in the hands of the manufacturer. This rapid advance of the textile industry soon placed American producers in competition with established European firms. German wool and Asian silks, which previously dominated the needle arts, were now contending against comparable American threads. This sparked a spirit of invention and innovation in the textile industry that resulted in a wide variety of materials in new colors and textures.

  • Marty Moon-- Marty Moon Has Been Quilting for Almost 30 Years
    Marty Moon-- Marty Moon has been quilting for almost 30 years. In 1998, Marty made a quilt for a project interpreting Japanese manhole covers. Her work is part of the 42 quilts which have been exhibited together internationally in museums and at quilt shows. They are featured in Quilting With Manhole Covers by Shirley MacGregor. Marty is an active member of VCQ and has held several positions in the organization including President (2005-2008). In her ‗spare‘ time, she runs Early Times Workshop, teaches quilting, attends quilt shows, vends at quilt shows and other consumer shows, and takes classes. Marty believes strongly in giving back to her community and contributes small quilted wall art to local non-profit organizations for fundraising events. She tries to keep something going so when the need arises she is at least partly ready. Annette Ornelas-- Annette Ornelas is a designer, teacher and quilt artist living in North Carolina. She has designed and published numerous quilting patterns. In 2004, the American Quilters Society published a book of her patterns: Peeled-Back Patchwork: Curves without Piecing. Her unconventional piecing style - "straight-line piecing with curved results" enables all students to make easy but complex looking designs. This unique method makes curves fast, fun and easy. Website: www.southwindquilts.com. Kevin Womack--Kevin Womack began making quilts in 1986. His maternal grandmother showed him the basics and he quickly became bitten by the quilting bug! At last count, he has made close to 100 quilts. His early work is traditional in pattern, but very nontraditional in color – he loves working with bright and unusual colors.
