Processed by Anastasia Karel, Alexandra Black, Rachel Gulbraa, and Arcadia Falcone in 2007-2008. Biographical Information Herbert Eugene Bolton was born on July 20, 1870 in Wilton, Wisconsin. At the University of Wisconsin (class of 1895) he studied under Frederick Jackson Turner; after two years of graduate work there he left to pursue a PhD at the University of Pennsylvania, which he earned in 1899. In 1901 he joined the history department at the University of Texas, Austin, where he developed his lasting interest in the history of Spanish-American exploration. His next stop was California, first at Stanford from 1909-1911, and then Berkeley for the remainder of his career. In 1916 he became the Curator of the Bancroft Library (a title that was soon switched to Director), and he took over the helm of the History Department after the death of Henry Morse Stephens in 1919. During the 1920s and 1930s Bolton was especially active as a professor, guest lecturer, and scholar. The bulk of his writings were published during these two decades, including The Spanish Borderlands. In 1931-1932 he was the president of the American Historical Association, which is only one example of his public service. Though the University required that he retire in 1940 (or at the age of 70), a war-time shortage of faculty caused him to return to teaching from 1942-1944. Bolton's zest for history is perhaps best represented in the journeys he made by mule or horseback in an effort to retrace the footsteps of famous explorers. This activity continued into his 80th year, by which time he had traced the complete routes of Coronado, Kino, De Mézières, Portolá, Anza, Garcés, and Escalante. In June 1952 Bolton suffered a stroke that ultimately led to his death in January 1953. Scope and Content of Collection Finding Aid to the Herbert BANC MSS C-B 840 3 Eugene Bolton Papers, 1890-1953, bulk 1909-1951 The Herbert Bolton Papers are essentially two collections in one. Bolton's research materials are one distinct entity, and his correspondence, writings, teaching materials, and professional activities make up a different type of collection. Researchers looking for an insight into Bolton's career will do best to concentrate on the latter materials, because this is where one can see what occurred during a particular event or what a student might have experienced in one of his courses. While there is very little personal material in this part of the collection, there are clues to Bolton's personality (especially his sense of humor) scattered throughout his papers. In contrast, Bolton's research materials are the result of his life's work and have a different purpose for scholars. Many of the manuscripts copied by Bolton also exist on microfilm in the Bancroft Library. This is certainly the case of those documents from the Archivo General de la Nación of Mexico and the Archivo General de Indias of Spain. Please note that the finding aid does not show which documents are also on microfilm (except for select folders in the Correspondence series), but the researcher may consult other guides to the library's microfilm in order to effectively use the Research Materials series. Finding Aid to the Herbert BANC MSS C-B 840 4 Eugene Bolton Papers, 1890-1953, bulk 1909-1951 Series 1:Research Materials. 1404-1921 SubSeries 1.1:Baja California. 1645-1861 Series 1: Research Materials. 1404-1921 Physical Description: Cartons 1-52; Carton 53, folders 16-18; Cartons 98-99; Box 145; Oversize boxes 1-79; File box 5 Arrangement Chronological Scope and Content Note This series consists of Bolton's research materials that he collected from various sources over the course of his career. The primary forms of the documents are photocopies, transcripts, and translations; there are few, if any, original documents. Bolton's arrangement of this series was maintained as closely as possible. Vivian Fisher, a member of the Bancroft Library staff who processed this series in 1961, retained the basic grouping of documents, which are divided geographically and then chronologically. Each of the thirteen groups is a subseries. Fisher also assigned item numbers from 1 to 820 to the documents. As she noted, each item number may represent a group of documents or a single piece. Documents specific to one topic were often gathered from many sources, which are noted wherever possible. The subseries frequently cover a period of more than a century, and the items are arranged by the date of original document (rather than the date Bolton worked with it, which is usually not known). Researchers should note that the geographical divisions made by the subseries are not completely finite. Many documents detail various expeditions of exploration that began in one geographical area and ended in another. These documents were filed under the division that represents the majority of the material. In the case of letters or reports from one person, these may be found in more than one area of the collection. In the following introduction to the collection, written by Bolton in 1951, the reader will find many details about the historical research and writing sides of Bolton's career. However, some of the archives that he mentions are not represented in the collection. Manuscript Materials for the History of the Pacific Coast and the Southwest This brief Introduction is designed to tell in general terms the story of gathering the historical materials in the Bolton Collection, and to indicate the more than sixty archives and repositories in various parts of Europe and the Western Hemisphere from which the documents have been obtained.

  • Cold War Requisitions, Scientific Manpower, and the Production of American Physicists After World War II
    DAVID KAISER* Cold War requisitions, scientific manpower, and the production of American physicists after World War II 1. RAYMOND BIRGE’S “MAIN OBJECTIVE” “THE MAIN OBJECTIVE of this department of physics,” Raymond Birge wrote in late May 1955, “is to train Ph.D.’s in physics.” Birge— iconic, somber, a displaced Yankee who traced his New England ancestry nine generations back—had been chair of Berkeley’s physics department for twenty-two years; by the mid-1950s, it was the nation’s largest. At the time he explained his department’s “main objec- tive,” Birge was the retiring president of the American Physical Society (APS). Birge and his colleagues in Berkeley’s physics department had emphasized the importance of its graduate program many times before in annual budget requests to the university administration and in funding reports to private industries; it would be easy to read such remarks as thinly-veiled requests for more funding, since training physics Ph.D.s became expensive after World War II. This time, however, Birge articulated his department’s mission in a letter to a local citizen, far outside of the university bureaucracy, who had no funds to offer and who had requested no such pronouncement. 1 *Program in Science, Technology, and Society, and Department of Physics, Building E51- 185, MIT, Cambridge, MA 02139; [email protected].

  • Robert C. Darnton Shelby Cullom Davis ‘30 Professor of European History Princeton University
    Robert C. Darnton Shelby Cullom Davis ‘30 Professor of European History Princeton University President 1999 LIJ r t i Robert C. Darnton The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu once remarked that Robert Damton’s principal shortcoming as a scholar is that he “writes too well.” This prodigious talent, which arouses such suspicion of aristocratic pretension among social scientists in republican France, has made him nothing less than an academic folk hero in America—one who is read with equal enthusiasm and pleasure by scholars and the public at large. Darnton’ s work improbably blends a strong dose of Cartesian rationalism with healthy portions of Dickensian grit and sentiment. The result is a uniquely American synthesis of the finest traits of our British and French ancestors—a vision of the past that is at once intellectually bracing and captivatingly intimate. fascination with the making of modem Western democracies came easily to this true blue Yankee. Born in New York City on the eve of the Second World War, the son of two reporters at the New York Times, Robert Damton has always had an immediate grasp of what it means to be caught up in the fray of modem world historical events. The connection between global historical forces and the tangible lives of individuals was driven home at a early age by his father’s death in the Pacific theater during the war. Irreparable loss left him with a deep commitment to recover the experiences of people in the past. At Phillips Academy and Harvard College, his first interest was in American history.

  • Florida Historical Quarterly
    COVER A typical summer Sunday afternoon at Jacksonville Beach during the early 1930s. Promoted as the “World’s Finest Beach,” visitors came from all over Florida and Georgia. Forty miles long and 600 feet wide, the hard-packed white sand made the beach a “mecca of autoists,” and it was said that some- times as many as 15,000 cam were parked there on a weekend. Originally called Pablo Beach, the community was established by the Jacksonville and Atlantic Railroad in 1884. Murray Hall, an enormous wood- frame hotel with accommodations for 350 guests, was completed two years later. It was one of the South’s most popular seaside resorts until it was destroyed by fire in 1890. It had attracted many visitors to the beach com- munity. This photograph is from the collection of Mr. Richard Martin of Jack- sonville.

He attended Princeton University where he re ceived his AB in 1936, the MA in 1939, and his PhD in 1941. During this period he was also a Rhodes Scholar to Oxford where he received a B.Litt. in 1938. His field is ndern Europe with research interests focusing on Germany since 1648, diplomacy, and military affairs. Professor Craig taught as an instructor at Yale Uni versity from 1939 to 1941; after two years he returned to Princeton to teach there.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Howard Schachman, dated April 26, 2007.
