  • The Newberry Annual Report 2019–20
    The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2019–20 30 Fall/Winter 2020 Letter from the Chair and the President Dear Friends and Supporters of the Newberry, The Newberry’s 133rd year began with sweeping changes in library leadership when Daniel Greene was appointed President and Librarian in August 2019. The year concluded in the midst of a global pandemic which mandated the closure of our building. As the Newberry staff adjusted to the abrupt change of working from home in mid-March, we quickly found innovative ways to continue engaging with our many audiences while making Chair of the Board of Trustees President and Librarian plans to safely reopen the building. The Newberry David C. Hilliard Daniel Greene responded both to the pandemic and to the civil unrest in Chicago and nationwide with creativity, energy, and dedication to advancing the library’s mission in a changed world. Our work at the Newberry relies on gathering people together to think deeply about the humanities. Our community—including readers, scholars, students, exhibition visitors, program attendees, volunteers, and donors—brings the library’s collection to life through research and collaboration. After in-person gatherings became impossible, we joined together in new ways, connecting with our community online. Our popular Adult Education Seminars, for example, offered a full array of classes over Zoom this summer, and our public programs also went online. In both cases, attendance skyrocketed, and we were able to significantly expand our geographic reach. With the Reading Rooms closed, library staff responded to more than 450 research questions over email while working from home.

  • Folklife Today September 2019: Chicago Ethnic Arts Project
    Folklife Today September 2019: Chicago Ethnic Arts Project Announcer: From the Library of Congress in Washington DC John Fenn: Welcome to the Folklife Today podcast. I’m John Fenn, and I’m here with my colleague Stephen Winick. Steve Winick: Hello! John Fenn: We’re both folklorists at the American Folklife Center here at the Library of Congress. I’m the head of Research and Programs, and Steve is the Center’s writer and editor, as well as the creator of the Folklife Today blog. Steve Winick: And today, we’re joined by several guests from the AFC to talk about an online collection of ours, the Chicago Ethnic Arts Project collection. This was the first of AFC's historic field projects, and the collection was digitized and then made available on the Library of Congress’s website just about two years ago. And a lot has been going on with it since, so, we've asked some of our colleagues to help us talk about it. Our first guest is our coordinator of Processing, Ann Hoog. Hi Ann! Ann Hoog: Hello! John Fenn: Ann, you know the collection quite well since you were involved in getting it ready for public online access. Where do we start? Ann Hoog: Well, let me first say that I do know it fairly well, but it is such an immense resource that I am still learning new things about it! But a good place to start is with the type of collection that it is – meaning, how it came to be. As you can tell by its name, the Chicago Ethnic Arts Project collection, represents materials from a cultural research and documentation project, or survey, that was undertaken in 1977.

  • For Immediate Release December 10, 2009 Barbara Crane
    For immediate release December 10, 2009 Barbara Crane: Repeats December 17 – January 30, 2010 Meet the artist: Thursday, December 17, 2009 6 - 8 pm Higher Pictures is proud to announce our second solo exhibition by Barbara Crane. The exhibition will consist entirely of vintage photographs from Crane's innovative 1969 – 1978 Repeats series. In Repeats, which are conceptualized at the point of picture taking, Crane combines groups of images of related kinds, right side up, upside down, sideways, and in pairs and sequences often resulting in a horizontal DNA like form. Repeats, which look to the contemporary viewer like computerized cut and paste strips of images (but obviously are not), cover a range of subject matter such as tar spatters on a sidewalk, trucks on a highway, clothes on a line, a snowcapped mountain range and a row of aluminum rowboats. The resulting experimental photographs blur the line between abstraction and representation and necessitate a slow viewing with close scrutiny. Barbara Crane is well known as one of Chicago's most experimental and prolific photographers who Victor M. Cassidy calls the "spiritual grandchild of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy". Born in Chicago in 1928, Crane studied at Mills College, CA, and New York University before returning to Chicago to complete the graduate degree at the Institute of Design in 1966. From 1967 to 1995 Crane taught photography at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she remains a professor emeritus. Barbara Crane has received two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships (1974, 1988), a Guggenheim Fellowship (1979), an Illinois Arts Council Fellowship in Photography (2001) and the first Ruth Horwich Award to a Famous Chicago Artist (2009).

  • Final Report
    ____________________________________________________ National Digital Stewardship Residency | NDSR Art Final Report July 2019 Molly Szymanski Host: The Art Institute of Chicago ​ Project: Capturing the Museum Experience: Saving Electronic ​ Media in the Galleries ______________________________________________ Project Overview ________________________________________________________________ As the NDSR Art resident at The Art Institute of Chicago (AIC), my project was focused on building a digital archiving and preservation program through the case study of born-digital materials related to visitor experience at the museum. I was hosted by Ryerson and Burnham Libraries at AIC, which houses the Institutional Archive collection. Like many art museums with contemporary collections items, AIC had begun to build capacity and time-based media initiatives focused on preserving digital art items. Less widely addressed across museums and other cultural heritage institutions was the preservation of other complex art-information objects. These materials include audio tours, digital art labels, video presentations, and interactive touchscreens that enhance the gallery experience and contain valuable research, art documentation, and contextual information. The current institutional Digial Asset Management System (DAMS) does not ingest content that is not related directly to collection objects, and as a result these digital items were not being systematically collected, indexed, and preserved for long-term access. Therefore, the residency project was also focused on developing procedures for acquisition and ingest into a digital repository. During the first half of the residency, significant progress was made to understand and document the current institutional capacity for digital preservation and digital archiving. The project activities listed in this report have supported and provided valuable quantitative and qualitative context to this understanding.

  • Sympathy and Science: Social Settlements and Museums Forging the Future Through a Usable Past
    SYMPATHY AND SCIENCE: SOCIAL SETTLEMENTS AND MUSEUMS FORGING THE FUTURE THROUGH A USABLE PAST A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS by Cynthia F. Heider August 2018 Examining Committee Members: Hilary Iris Lowe, Ph.D., Advisory Chair, Department of History Seth C. Bruggeman, Ph.D., Department of History Lisa Junkin Lopez, M.A., Executive Director, Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace ABSTRACT Affiliates of the United States settlement house movement provided a historical precedent for engaged, community-centered museum practice. Their innovations upon the social survey, a key sociological data collection and data visualization tool, as well as their efforts to interpret results via innovative, culturally democratic exhibition techniques, had a contemporary impact on both museum practice and the history of social work. This impact resonates in the socially-responsive work of community museums of the recent past. The ethics of settlement methodology- including flexibility, experimentalism, empathetic practice, local community focus, and social justice activism- foreshadow the precepts and practices of what is now known as public history. ii I dedicate this thesis to Peter Heider, my husband, whose love, humor, patience, and encouragement made this dream obtainable. I owe you one. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support of dozens of wonderful people. Thanks are due especially to the staff and clientele of the Lutheran Settlement House, who generously welcomed me, a stranger, into their community. I am touched and humbled by their magnanimity. For their assistance with my numerous research requests, thanks to the archivists and librarians of the Drexel University Medical School Special Collections and Archives, the Temple University Special Collections Research Center, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Lutheran Theological Seminary of Philadelphia.
