Chapter. PREFACE The eighth edition of Library and Reference Facilities in the Area of the District of Columbia is sponsored by the American Society for Information Science,theBiologicalSciences Communication Proje,A of The George Washington University, the District of Columbia Library Association, the ERIC Clearinghouse on Library and Information Sciences,the Federal Library Committee, the Liiurary of Congress, the Librarian's Technical Committee of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and the Special Libraries Association, Washington, D.C. Chapter. This cooperative undertaking of profes- sional organizations in the Washington, D.C. area reflects recognition of the value and usefulness of earlier editions sponsored either jointly by the District of Columbia Library Association and the Special Libraries Association or solely by the District of Columbia Library Association and published by the Library of Congress through the generous assistance of Legare H.B. Obear, Chief, Loan Division, who served as editor. The new edition continues the format and plan of describing information facilities that offer service to the public. Some libraries serving only a restricted clientele are also identified and described because they possess unique or specialized collections. In lo,,ations where the collection is restricted, qualified researchers can generally arrange to use the material through special arrangement with the librarian in charge. The statement concerning regulations for such library collections indicates the conditions under which permission may be obtained. Members of the various' organizations involved in this undertaking as well as other interested persons have cooperated fully in supporting the preparation of the eighth edition and special thanks are due to all. The descriptions of some of the collections are not as full as might be desirable; however, they will serve as an initial guide for users who wish to obtain additional information. A subject index, keyed to entry numbers, is included at the end of this directory. There is also an index of librarians and a listing of disestablished libraries inasmuch as a number of libraries listed in the seventh edition are no longer in existence. Changes in names of libraries are provided for by cross-references. Washington, D.C.

  • The United States Navy Looks at Its African American Crewmen, 1755-1955
    “MANY OF THEM ARE AMONG MY BEST MEN”: THE UNITED STATES NAVY LOOKS AT ITS AFRICAN AMERICAN CREWMEN, 1755-1955 by MICHAEL SHAWN DAVIS B.A., Brooklyn College, City University of New York, 1991 M.A., Kansas State University, 1995 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract Historians of the integration of the American military and African American military participation have argued that the post-World War II period was the critical period for the integration of the U.S. Navy. This dissertation argues that World War II was “the” critical period for the integration of the Navy because, in addition to forcing the Navy to change its racial policy, the war altered the Navy’s attitudes towards its African American personnel. African Americans have a long history in the U.S. Navy. In the period between the French and Indian War and the Civil War, African Americans served in the Navy because whites would not. This is especially true of the peacetime service, where conditions, pay, and discipline dissuaded most whites from enlisting. During the Civil War, a substantial number of escaped slaves and other African Americans served. Reliance on racially integrated crews survived beyond the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, only to succumb to the principle of “separate but equal,” validated by the Supreme Court in the Plessy case (1896). As racial segregation took hold and the era of “Jim Crow” began, the Navy separated the races, a task completed by the time America entered World War I.

(August 2008) Charles Hughes Williams, III, B.A., University of Virginia Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. James C. Bradford Between 1893 and 1920 the rising tide of racial antagonism and discrimination that swept America fundamentally altered racial relations in the United States Navy. African Americans, an integral part of the enlisted force since the Revolutionary War, found their labor devalued and opportunities for participation and promotion curtailed as civilian leaders and white naval personnel made repeated attempts to exclude blacks from the service. Between 1920 and 1942 the few black sailors who remained in the navy found few opportunities. The development of Jim Crow in the U.S.

  • M2089 Selected German Documents from the Records of the Naval
    M2089 SELECTED GERMAN DOCUMENTS FROM THE RECORDS OF THE NAVAL RECORDS COLLECTION OF THE OFFICE OF NAVAL RECORDS AND LIBRARY, 1897–1917 Timothy P. Mulligan prepared the Introduction and arranged these records for microfilming. National Archives and Records Administration Washington, DC 2006 INTRODUCTION On the four rolls of this microfilm publication, M2089, are reproduced the contents of 34 logbooks and other bound volumes of original German Navy and merchant marine records located among the Naval Records Collection of the Office of Naval Records and Library, 1897–1917, Record Group (RG) 45. The materials reproduced here constitute a part of those original German documents approved for restitution to the Bundesarchiv following the latter’s request and subsequent negotiations with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For these German documents, microfilm publication M2089 represents the record copy retained by NARA. BACKGROUND President John Adams authorized the establishment of the Navy Department Library on March 31, 1800. Originally a component of the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, the Navy Department Library was transferred by Navy Department General Order 292 on March 23, 1882, to the newly established Office of Naval Intelligence. There an unofficial adjunct staff to the Library, designated the Naval War Records Office, came into being in 1882 to compile for publication selected documents on naval aspects of the Civil War. On July 7, 1884, the Naval War Records Office and the Navy Department Library were formally consolidated by the Naval Appropriation Act (23. Stat. 185) into the Office of Library and Naval War Records. In October 1889 the Office was returned to the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, and assumed custody of the pre-1886 office files of the Secretary of the Navy.

(May 2011) Ryan David Wadle, B.A., Iowa State University; M.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. James C. Bradford Prior to 1917, the United States Navy only utilized public relations techniques during times of war or to attract recruits into naval service. Following World I, the Navy confronted several daunting problems, including the postwar demobilization of naval assets, the proposed creation of an independent air service, and a public desire for naval arms limitation which many officers believed would endanger the Navy‟s ability to fulfill its missions. These issues threatened the generous support that the Navy had received from Congress for a quarter of a century, and also hampered the service‟s attempts to incorporate new weapons systems into its arsenal and recruit high-quality manpower.
