  • Miniatures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Diane Dias De Fazio Developed for Ken Soehner's Museums & Library Research Course, Summer 2014
    Precious Little Things: Miniatures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Diane Dias De Fazio Developed for Ken Soehner's Museums & Library Research course, Summer 2014. The items. The project. Students were invited to explore the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and envision themselves as museum curators. The final project asked students to define a common theme, select twelve items that fell within that theme, research the items, and create an exhibition catalog for the items, providing descriptions and photographs for each object. My selected theme, miniatures within the Museum's collection, was examined via items that spanned several centuries of art history and numerous different media. Two-fifths of my catalog consisted of American art, but my exhibition spanned centuries, museum departments, and geographic regions. I incorporated items from Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas (AAOA) in the pre-Columbian period, Greek and Roman, the departments of Musical Instruments, Medieval art, and from the Thomas J. Watson Library. My final product comprised descriptions for twelve items—a Greek aryballos faience vase in the shape of a hedgehog, a hunchback figure from the Olmec culture, a wood rosary bead, a miniature "pocket" violin, two 32mo fine bindings from France ca. 1784, three American portrait miniatures, two pieces of miniature glass, and a metalwork miniature by the House of Carl Fabergé. The catalog was fifty-one pages long, cited 150 references, and each source was annotated with further information about the publication. Because of my extensive research, the catalog also included brief descriptions for five additional items and twenty-five additional sources in a secondary bibliography.

  • The Connecticut Western Reserve
    Published on Hinckley Township (http://hinckleytwp.org) Home > Community > History > Connecticut Western Reserve The Connecticut Western Reserve At present the term Western Reserve has only an historical meaning; but to the Medina pioneers it had immediate significance, because originally Medina was a part of this unique section of Ohio. What are its unique characteristics? First, that the State of Connecticut was permitted to retain this part of her western lands in 1787 when the other states ceded theirs to the federal government; and secondly, the way in which Connecticut disposed of this huge piece of land which extended westward 120 miles from the Pennsylvania-Ohio boundary and southward from Lake Erie to the forty-first parallel, comprising an area of over 3,000,000 acres. The Western Reserve may also be described as a somewhat irregular quadrilateral in northeastern Ohio, with Conneaut, Youngstown, Willard, and Port Clinton at its corners. A glance at the map will show that the forty-first parallel is the southern boundary of both Connecticut and of the Western Reserve. Several of the original colonies held grants of land which extended as far west as the Pacific Ocean because of the royal ignorance of or disdain for North American geography. Shortly after the beginning of the development of the Connecticut Colony, this small area became so overcrowded that groups of its citizens migrated to the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania. There they established settlements, as this land was also included in Connecticut's original grant from Charles II of England. These claims caused a series of bloody struggles between the Connecticut settlers and the Pennsylvanians, because the Connecticut claims conflicted with the claims of the proprietors of Pennsylvania.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

  • Public Records of The
    The Public Records of the STATE OF CONNECTICUT FROM 1821 TO 1822 VOLUME XXI Edited in accordance with an Act of The General Assembly Douglas M. Arnold Editor Shelby Shapiro Bevi Chagnon Associate Editor Production Consultant Hartford 2015 Published by The Connecticut State Library Kendall F. Wiggin Lizette Pelletier State Librarian State Archivist © 2015 Connecticut State Library PREFACE This volume contains a transcription of the positive actions of the General As- sembly of Connecticut during the years 1821 and 1822. The manuscript which forms the core of this volume—and of the entire Public Records series—is the official record of the acts, resolutions, and appointments made by the General Assembly. It is housed at the Connecticut State Library [CSL] in Hartford in Archives Record Group 1. The records of the 1821 session reproduced here can be found on pages 407–561 of Volume 13 of the manuscript; those for 1822 can be found on pages 8–231 of Volume 14. The appendices to each ses- sion reproduce selected supplementary documents culled from the records of the executive department at the CSL and from contemporary newspapers. Time constraints did not permit exhaustive research. The footnotes high- light the major activities of the General Assembly, identify some significant themes and developments, indicate where additional primary source materials can be found in manuscript series at the CSL, and provide information about important public figures. Brief biographies usually appear in footnotes on the first appearance of an individual in a major office and other key figures are occasionally identified when appropriate. Cross-references point to matters discussed elsewhere in this and earlier volumes of the series.

  • The Governors of Connecticut
    The TWENTY-SEVENTH GOVERNOR of CONN ECTICUT was HENRY WAGGAMAN EDWARDS The grandson of Jonathan Edwards, one of the most subtle reasoners the country has produced — He was born in New Haven and graduated at the College of New Jersey, later studying law at Litchfield and ris ing rapidly in public estimation — He was elected to Congress, elected to the United States Senate and served for several terms as governor of the state dur ing the era in which New Haven and Hartford and Springfield were connected by railroad, thus provid ing for the commercial development of Connecticut HENRY WAGGAMAN EDWARDS HENRY Waggaman Edwards was the grandson of Jonathan Edwards, one of the most subtle reasoners the country has produced, and the son of Pierrepont Edwards, for many years the most distinguished member of the Connecticut bar. Pierrepont Edwards had the most lucrative law practice in the state, was a member of the Continental Congress, and a man of great power. He died in Bridgeport, April 5, 1826. His son was born in New Haven in October, 1779, the year that General Tryon pillaged the town and spread desolation. Henry Waggaman Edwards prepared for college at New Haven and entered the College of New Jersey, at Princeton, where he was graduated in the class of 1797. Having decided to adopt his father's profession, Edwards entered the famous Litchfield Law School (now the Yale Law School), and, after the completion of the course, returned to New Haven, where he commenced to practice. In 1819 he was elected as a democratic member of Congress and represented the district in the House of Representatives until March 3, 1823.
