The estate is on the high ridge that forms the northern edge of Georgetown.

The park is located north of and below the mansion and the terraced formal gardens and focuses on a stream valley sometimes called "The Branch" (i.e., of Rock Creek) nearly 100' below the mansion. North of the stream the park rises again in a northerly and westerly direction toward the U.S. Naval Observatory. The primary access to the park is from R Street between the Dumbarton Oaks estate and Montrose Park along a small lane presently called Lovers' Lane. Present Owner; Dumbarton Oaks Park is a Federal park, owned and maintained by the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior. Dates of Construction: Dumbarton Oaks estate was acquired by Robert Woods Bliss and Mildred Barnes Bliss in 1920.

Colonial Theodicy and the Jesuit Ascetic Ideal in José De Acosta's
chapter 6 Colonial Theodicy and the Jesuit Ascetic Ideal in José de Acosta’s Works on Spanish America Bryan Green This chapter aims to demonstrate the centrality of the problem of theodicy in José de Acosta’s (1540–1600) scientific, ethnographic, and historical writings on Spanish America.1 Based on Acosta’s experience as the Jesuit provincial of Peru and his active participation in the political and ecclesiastical reforms initiated under the viceroy Francisco de Toledo (1515–82), these works bear witness to the moral evils running rampant among his fellow Spaniards and the concomi- tant suffering inflicted upon the indigenous population.2 While Acosta recog- nizes the moral evil at the root of Spanish sovereignty, namely greed in the ruthless pursuit of precious metals, his colonial theodicy nevertheless main- tains that this evil is a means to the greater good of the Amerindian’s salvation. In his guidelines for missionary conduct, Acosta offers a response to this ethi- cal impasse through the performance of a distinctly Jesuit ascetic ideal, which 1 This chapter was written at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso with the sup- port of a research grant from the Chilean government (fondecyt Iniciación en Investigación no. 11140527, 2014–17). 2 The son of a prosperous merchant from Medina del Campo in Spain, Acosta entered the Society in 1552 and completed the first years of his studies at the Jesuit college in his home- town. Having distinguished himself as a student and grammar teacher in several Jesuit schools throughout Iberia, Acosta moved on to study philosophy and theology at the renowned University of Alcalá de Henares in 1557. -

Landmarks Preservation Commission January 13, 2009, Designation List 409 LP-2305 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY, 125TH STREET BRANCH, 224 East 125th Street, Manhattan Built 1904, McKim, Mead & White; architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1789, Lot 37 On June 24, 2008 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of New York Public Library 125th Street Branch; and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 10). The hearing was duly advertised according to provisions of law. Three witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including representatives the New York Public Library, the Historic Districts Council, and the Municipal Art Society. Summary The 125th Street Branch of The New York Public Library is notable for being one of the Carnegie libraries and a significant Renaissance Revival style building by the important firm of McKim, Mead, & White. The library was the third Carnegie branch of The New York Public Library to open, and has served the Harlem community for more than one-hundred years. Made possible by a grant of $5.2 million from Andrew Carnegie to the City of New York to establish a city-wide branch library system, a total of 67 branch libraries were constructed between 1901 and 1929. Of those, 57 are still standing, and 54 are still in operation. The firm of McKim, Mead & White, one of the most notable and influential architecture firms in the country, designed twelve of The New York Public Library Carnegie Branches, and played a major part in the formulation of the libraries’ design guidelines. -
Defining the Greater York River Indigenous Cultural Landscape
Defining the Greater York River Indigenous Cultural Landscape Prepared by: Scott M. Strickland Julia A. King Martha McCartney with contributions from: The Pamunkey Indian Tribe The Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe The Mattaponi Indian Tribe Prepared for: The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay & Colonial National Historical Park The Chesapeake Conservancy Annapolis, Maryland The Pamunkey Indian Tribe Pamunkey Reservation, King William, Virginia The Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe Adamstown, King William, Virginia The Mattaponi Indian Tribe Mattaponi Reservation, King William, Virginia St. Mary’s College of Maryland St. Mary’s City, Maryland October 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As part of its management of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, the National Park Service (NPS) commissioned this project in an effort to identify and represent the York River Indigenous Cultural Landscape. The work was undertaken by St. Mary’s College of Maryland in close coordination with NPS. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept represents “the context of the American Indian peoples in the Chesapeake Bay and their interaction with the landscape.” Identifying ICLs is important for raising public awareness about the many tribal communities that have lived in the Chesapeake Bay region for thousands of years and continue to live in their ancestral homeland. ICLs are important for land conservation, public access to, and preservation of the Chesapeake Bay. The three tribes, including the state- and Federally-recognized Pamunkey and Upper Mattaponi tribes and the state-recognized Mattaponi tribe, who are today centered in their ancestral homeland in the Pamunkey and Mattaponi river watersheds, were engaged as part of this project. The Pamunkey and Upper Mattaponi tribes participated in meetings and driving tours. -

A comparison of drought information in early North American colonial documentary records and a high-resolution tree-ring-based reconstruction Sam White Department of History, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43125, USA Correspondence: Sam White ([email protected]) Received: 4 January 2019 – Discussion started: 16 January 2019 Revised: 20 August 2019 – Accepted: 29 August 2019 – Published: 11 October 2019 Abstract. Historical documentary records contain valuable scriptions in written records (historical climatology). The lat- information on climate, weather, and their societal impacts ter approach has been employed with high reconstruction during the pre-instrumental period, but it may be difficult skill for regions and periods with abundant and consistent to assess the objectivity and reliability of this information, personal writings and official archives, including parts of Eu- particularly where the documentary record is incomplete or rope and China during the past six centuries. However, most the reliability of the information it contains is uncertain. This historical regions and periods lack such abundant and consis- article presents a comprehensive review of information re- tent written records before the instrumental period. In these lating to drought found in original written records concern- cases, historical observers tend to act as a “high-pass filter” ing all early European expeditions (1510–1610 CE) into the recording mostly extreme events and/or as degraded archives present-day US and Canada, and compares this information preserving scattered periodic climate proxies and descrip- with maps and time series of drought generated from the tree- tions (Bradley, 2015). -
