Call number: MFF 4904 Mollie Brunwasser collection 1884-2006, 1950-1975 (bulk) The Mollie Brunwasser Collection, housed in five boxes, is divided into two series. The first series consists of diaries, amounting to 43 volumes. In addition to the 43 volumes, there are 3 unbound diaries that do not specifically state the order in which they fall within the rest of the volumes. However, with the sequential numbering of each diary entry, the unbounded diaries appear to follow after volume 57. The second series contains a Brunwasser family history completed by History Center staff and accompanying research notes. The diaries appear to have been written, based on dates and events in the entries, between the early 1950s and mid-1970s. The books are a mix of autobiography, family history, transcripts of correspondence between family members, copies of newspaper articles and books, and sketches. Stamps, correspondence, photos and mementos have been glued into the pages of the diaries as well. In the early volumes, M.B. vividly recounts her childhood in turn of the century Pittsburgh, depicting the residents and businesses of the various neighborhoods she lived in as a child. She describes life in the Jewish community, as well as interactions between her family and Irish, Polish, and Chinese immigrants. Based on conversations with her father and uncles, M.B. also traces the history of the Brunwasser family and writes of the history of Jews in Pittsburgh. The entries occasionally include contemporaneous accounts of life in Pittsburgh, some of which reflect on changes the city went through during the early years of Renaissance I. The later volumes contain many pages of verbatim copies of published material, including newspaper articles and books. The collection contains only volumes 1-22, 41-57, and the 3 unbound diaries, suggesting that some of the books were never transferred to the History Center. The second series is comprised of a family history of Albert H. Brunwasser (A.H.B.), M.B.'s nephew, as well as accompanying research notes. Jennifer Kaye and Kerin Shellenbarger of the Heinz History

  • The Allied Powers; the Central What Did Citizens Think the U.S
    Connecting lives. Sharing cultures. Dear Educator, Welcome to The Volunteers: Americans Join World War I, 1914-1919 Curriculum! Please join us in celebrating the release of this unique and relevant curriculum about U.S. American volunteers in World War I and how volunteerism is a key component of global competence and active citizenship education today. These free, Common Core and UNESCO Global Learning-aligned secondary school lesson plans explore the motivations behind why people volunteer. They also examine character- istics of humanitarian organizations, and encourage young people to consider volunteering today. AFS Intercultural Programs created this curriculum in part to commemorate the 100 year history of AFS, founded in 1915 as a volunteer U.S. American ambulance corps serving alongside the French military during the period of U.S. neutrality. Today, AFS Intercultural Programs is a non-profit, intercultural learn- ing and student exchange organization dedicated to creating active global citizens in today’s world. The curriculum was created by AFS Intercultural Programs, together with a distinguished Curriculum Development Committee of historians, educators, and archivists. The lesson plans were developed in partnership with the National World War I Museum and Memorial and the curriculum specialists at Pri- mary Source, a non-profit resource center dedicated to advancing global education. We are honored to have received endorsement for the project from the United States World War I Centennial Commission. We would like to thank the AFS volunteers, staff, educators, and many others who have supported the development of this curriculum and whose daily work advances the AFS mission. We encourage sec- ondary school teachers around the world to adapt these lesson plans to fit their classroom needs- les- sons can be applied in many different national contexts.

    Media Contact: Brady Smith 412-454-6459 [email protected] Pittsburgh Illustrated: New History Center Exhibit Showcases Works of Art by the Society of Illustrators -The juried exhibition features artwork that depicts Western Pa. history in a new and engaging way- PITTSBURGH, July 22, 2017 – Visitors to the Senator John Heinz History Center can marvel at more than 50 new works of art by members of the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators (PSI) as part of the new exhibition, Art of Facts | Uncovering Pittsburgh Stories, now on display in the museum’s fifth floor Barensfeld Gallery. The Art of Facts exhibit creatively interprets the rich history of Western Pennsylvania and shares its compelling stories through the art of illustration. Last year, members of the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators – the second largest group of illustrators in the U.S. – were charged with researching, discovering, and sharing those stories in a new and engaging way. The artists’ work featured in the exhibit depicts everything from Andrew Carnegie’s job at age 13 in a textile mill to Walt Disney’s visit to Westinghouse to the story of Pittsburgh’s lost “H,” and much more. Beyond the major landmarks, groundbreaking discoveries, celebrated achievements, and famous locals, there are captivating details of history that have seldom been shared. Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2017, the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators brings those local illustrators together to facilitate artistic and professional growth, advocate for artists’ rights, and promote collective Pittsburgh talent. The Art of Facts exhibit showcases the talent of PSI artists who work in corporations, publishing, the medical field, science, and a range of other disciplines throughout the region.

  • 2016 Annual Report
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT 1 2 TO THE COMMUNITY: In my life’s interest of advancing fitness and well-being, I see every day the benefits of dedicating attention to regular exercise and healthy eating. While the particular outlets vary—running, biking, field and racquet sports, yoga and weightlifting; vegan, vegetarian or omnivore—the goal is the same: to create core strength to enable a person to enjoy life to the fullest and to enhance longevity. Similarly at RAD, the fitness of our regional assets relies on core funding—the type of funds that assets can use at their discretion to sustain day-to-day operations. While their program focus may vary—libraries, parks, sports and civic facilities, arts and culture, and transportation—this core support is vital to their well-being, to creating well-managed, fully operational regional assets that are critically important to our region. While RAD provides substantial funds for capital projects, the hallmark of RAD funding has been operating support—also known as unrestricted funds that can be used for the core functions of the assets, such as staf, rent or mortgages, utilities and program costs. This primary focus on core support, however, means that RAD spends considerable time engaging in a comprehensive review of each applicant, focused on understanding programming, governance, finances, outreach and outcomes. This past year, in fact, we were pleased to enhance the role of our Citizen Advisory Board to provide additional assessment of applicants to enrich our understanding. As you review this report, you will see that core funding support from RAD helps our regional assets not only to maintain, but to upgrade and improve programs and facilities that are the jewels in our community.

  • CHAPTER 1 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS: Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933
    CHAPTER 1 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS: Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 CHAPTER 1 8 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 World War I created a diplomatic security crisis for the United States. Under Secretary of State Joseph C. Grew afterwards would describe the era before the war as “diplomatic serenity – a fool’s paradise.” In retrospect, Grew’s observation indicates more the degree to which World War I altered how U.S. officials perceived diplomatic security than the actual state of pre-war security.1 During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Department had developed an effective set of security measures; however, those measures were developed during a long era of trans-Atlantic peace (there had been no major multi-national wars since Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1814). Moreover, those measures were developed for a nation that was a regional power, not a world power exercising influence in multiple parts of the world. World War I fundamentally altered international politics, global economics, and diplomatic relations and thrust the United States onto the world stage as a key world power. Consequently, U.S. policymakers and diplomats developed a profound sense of insecurity regarding the content of U.S. Government information. The sharp contrast between the pre- and post-World War I eras led U.S. diplomats like Grew to cast the pre-war era in near-idyllic, carefree terms, when in fact the Department had developed several diplomatic security measures to counter acknowledged threats.
