Special Collections & Archives' Ledger Art Books Serve As Hands UC SAN DIEGO THE LIBRARY LIBRARY BLOG Blog Home Page Special Collections & Archives’ Ledger Art Books Serve as Hands-On Learning Tool for Graduate Students February 28, 2018, 9:25 AM “Driving the Horses” plate from the Koba-Russell Sketchbook. Courtesy of: Plains Ledger Art Digital Publishing Project (PILA). The beauty of Indian Ledger Art isn’t just about depicting Native American history in vibrant colors and powerful compositions, but how it has influenced the next generation of Native American artists. To Dwayne Wilcox, it’s more than artwork. It connects him to his Native American culture and reaffirms his purpose in the community. Wearing black pants, a striped dress shirt that hangs loose on his frame, and his signature pork pie hat, Wilcox stands in front of an audience speaking softly about his art and gazing earnestly at the Ledger Art drawings in his exhibit. Dwayne Wilcox The Lakota Ledger artist met with students and spoke in November at a public gathering hosted by the Library in celebration of Native American Heritage Month. A small collection of Wilcox’s contemporary ledger artwork was on view in an exhibition called Teíč’iȟ iŋla: Practicing Decolonial Love, curated by UC San Diego graduate students. Wilcox was joined by Ross Frank, associate professor of ethnic studies and director of the Plains Indian Ledger Art project (PILA). Due to increased collector interest, more nineteenth-century ledger books are coming to light. However, sheets are sold individually for thousands of dollars, dispersing them on the market. In the last few years academics have been trying to reassemble book pages. Many of these fine examples of ledger art drawings are now accessible online. PILA has been working since 1995 to digitally preserve Plains Indian Ledger books under one platform to promote research and public access. “Without trying, this digital project has brought UC San Diego about a million dollars’ worth of original, nineteenth-century Ledger Art books. We have the third largest collection of complete ledger books in the country outside of the holdings at the Smithsonian museums,” said Frank. “The Library’s Special Collections & Archives has eight complete ledger books and another one is on its way. We have a fine example of the work that was done by the 28 artists of the 72 prisoners that were held in Fort Marion in 1875 during the Red River War.” Pictured left to right: Special Collections & Archives Director Lynda Claassen, Alison Urban, Jessica Fremlan, Melanie West, and Ethnic Studies Associate Professor Ross Frank. PILA provides graduate students pursuing a doctorate in Ethnic Studies and other programs with hands-on training in research, digital database, and web management. In addition, the Ethnic Studies department offers courses that give undergrads and graduate students the tools to design museum exhibits that incorporate indigenous knowledge. “It was important to me that the exhibit we created not only be a visual experience but one that prompted critical discourse and engagement among visitors. In providing a space to write or draw thoughts and responses to the exhibit we hoped that a conversation could happen on these pages,” said UC San Diego graduate student Alison Urban. “I love flipping through the book and seeing how the questions we posed through the presentation of modern and historical Ledger Art have activated students to connect with the notion of decolonial love.” The Library’s physical collection of Ledger Art books continues to grow, albeit slowly, given their scarcity and cost. But they provide a vital teaching and research resource, and the Library will continue to work with Ross Frank and Ethnic Studies to develop and promote these unique cultural materials.

  • Geisel Library Building Guide
    GEISEL LIBRARY BUILDING GUIDE Stay connected lib.ucsd.edu/subscribe Support the library lib.ucsd.edu/give Share your experience @ucsdgeisel @ucsdlibrary @ucsdlibrary WELCOME TO UC SAN DIEGO’S GEISEL LIBRARY Designed by renowned architect William Pereira in 1970, this campus landmark was named for Audrey and Theodor Seuss Geisel — better known as Dr. Seuss — in 1995. The building’s Brutalist architecture conveys the idea that powerful and permanent hands are holding aloft knowledge itself, which was Pereira’s stated intention. Pereira is also known for works such as the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and rocket-launching facilities at Cape Canaveral. In 1992, underground space on the east and west sides of the building was designed by Latvian-American architect Gunnar Birkerts. Birkerts deliberately designed this addition to be subordinate to the strong, geometrical form of the existing structure. Known for using angular forms, folding planes and light-suffused interiors, Birkerts’ addition provided extra space while preserving the building’s original silhouette and ensuring ample natural light to the lower floors. This guide shares many of the spaces, services, and collections found within this iconic campus building. Staff at Geisel Library’s service desk can answer questions that might arise during your visit. You are welcome to explore floors 1 and 2; floors 4 – 8 in the tower are reserved for quiet study.

The questions of utopian intent, potential, and method are explored through an analysis of Oliveros’s untraditional scores, as well as an exploration of Oliveros’s writings and secondary accounts from members of the Deep Listening community.
