Barthé, Jr. (Doctorate of Philosophy in History) Becoming American in Creole New Orleans: Family, Community, Labor and Schooling, 1896-1949 Summary: The Louisiana Creole community in New Orleans went through profound changes in the first half of the 20th-century. This work examines Creole ethnic identity, focusing particularly on the transition from Creole to American. In "becoming American," Creoles adapted to a binary, racialized caste system prevalent in the Jim Crow American South (and transformed from a primarily Francophone/Creolophone community (where a tripartite although permissive caste system long existed) to a primarily Anglophone community (marked by stricter black-white binaries). These adaptations and transformations were facilitated through Creole participation in fraternal societies, the organized labor movement and public and parochial schools that provided English-only instruction.

  • The Divorce of Americans in France
    THE DIVORCE OF AMERICANS IN FRANCE LINDYLL T. BATEs* The first French law authorizing divorce a vinculo matrimonii by judgment was enacted in 1792, the very day of the fall of the Bourbon Monarchy. Prior thereto, separation a mensa et thoro alone was countenanced by the strongly clerical King- dom. The rush to divorce under the new liberty was such that in the Year VI of the Republic the number of divorces exceeded that of marriages. The Code Napollon of. x8o3 established divorce for cause and even by mutual consent; though Napoleon's own divorce fron Josephine is the only known instance of the use of a. consent method under the Code. Divorce was abolished in x86 at the reestablishment of the Kingdom, and separation only could be had in France from that time until the Third Republic. The articles of the Civil Coda for divorce based upon cause were reEnacted by Law of July 27, 1884, the articles for divorce by mutual consent remain- ing abolished. With some amendments, this is the law that now governs the insti- tution. Today, divorce.is again frequent in France; separations are but a quarter as numerous. In i885, 4,277 divorces were recorded; in 1913 the figure had risen to 15,372; in 1921, to 2,o33. Now the figure exceeds 30,0o0. The ratio of divorce to population was 70 per hundred thousand in x92; in America it was then x35. About 85 per cent of the divorce petitions are granted. The wife is plaintiff in 65 per cent of the divorce suits.

And other Narratives of the Operations EDITED BY C. SANFORD TERRY, Litt.D. BURNETl-FLETCHER PROFESSOR OF HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON EDINBURGH GLASGOW NEW YORK TORONTO MELBOURNE CAPE TOWN BOMBAY HUMPHREY MILFORD 1919 f^ •NOTE The publication of Sir Eoger Keyes's Dispatches of May 9 and June 15, 1918, at length affords an authentic record, by its organizer and leader, of an achievement which a French Admiral has characterized as ' the finest feat ot arms in the naval history of all times and all countries '. As a story of pure gallantry, it may be, the Dispatches do not add to the information already accessible. But they correct many glaring current inaccuracies, based on irre- sponsible statements and incomplete knowledge. Above all, they present us for the first time with an authentic exposition of the purpose and tactics of the operations, and permit us to view their incidents in proper perspective. For the first time, too, we realize the magnitude of the design, its colossal intricacy, its patient weaving. Narratives of both Raids were issued through the Press Bureau on April 26 and May 15, 1918. Having regard to their medium of publication, but on that' ground alone, these articles, written by an exceedingly competent and well-informed journalist, may be described as official.

  • UNESCO Press Kit
    SAFEGUARDING THE WORLD’S UNDERWATER CULTURAL HERITAGE On the Occasion of the Centenary of World War I UNESCO Press Kit Centenary of World War I UNESCO draws attention to the need to protect the submerged heritage of World War I World War I did not only take place in trenches. An important part of the conflict was fought at sea, either on the surface or - and this was a first – under water. The wrecks of ships and submarines that have sunk during the conflict therefore present today an invaluable information source. Their hulls contain a snapshot of history that has not been the subject of sufficient research so far. These wrecks also serve as custodians of the memory of the thousands of people who have lost their lives there. This fragile heritage that lies at the bottom of the oceans now enters the scope of the UNESCO 2001 Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. The Convention designates underwater cultural heritage as “all traces of human existence having a cultural, historical or archaeological character which have been partially or totally under water, periodically or continuously, for at least 100 years.” From 2014 onwards, ships, cruisers, ocean liners, and destroyers sunk during the war will fall under the scope of the Convention. Also, UNESCO will organize in occasion of the Centenary of the First World War a scientific conference on underwater heritage of WWI to be held in Bruges, Belgium 26-28 June, 2014, with the support of the Government of Flanders. The support of Flanders is given in the framework of the country’s commemorative project ‘The Great War Centenary (2014-18)’, giving tribute to the fact that Flanders was a central battlefield during the war.

  • Floor 1. 1685 – 1958. Case Objects and Descriptions
    Floor 1. 1685 – 1958. Case objects and descriptions COVID-19 Please remember as you go around the Museum: Use the one-way system indicated by the signs around the Museum (except in the event of an emergency). Use the hand sanitisers that are available at reception, the toilets and at the entrance to each floor. Avoid touching any surfaces around the Museum or getting too close to the glass fronts of the cases. Please wear a face covering at all times (unless you are exempt from doing so). Keep your distance from other visitors, staff and volunteers. 2 Introduction Thank you for visiting the Keep Military Museum! Due to COVID-19, we have had to remove some of our interactive elements and interpretation to ensure the safety of staff and visitors. This includes our ‘paddles’ which provide information on the wonderful objects you will see around the Museum. We have produced this booklet to help you find out more about the objects as you go round the Museum. There is a guide to each floor with information on cases and objects, which are individually numbered. Some cases have labels in them so these do not appear in this booklet. We hope you enjoy your visit to the Keep Military Museum. 3 First Floor Map: 1685 - 1958 Welcome to the First Floor! Please follow the route clockwise around the floor. You will exit through the same door to go up to the Second Floor. 4 Case: Plassey 1. Uniform of a 11th Foot, Devonshire Regiment 2. The Arcot Staff: presented to Lord Robert Clive to commemorate the Battle of Plassey 1757.
