  • Timeline / 1810 to 1930
    Timeline / 1810 to 1930 Date Country Theme 1810 - 1880 Tunisia Fine And Applied Arts Buildings present innovation in their architecture, decoration and positioning. Palaces, patrician houses and mosques incorporate elements of Baroque style; new European techniques and decorative touches that recall Italian arts are evident at the same time as the increased use of foreign labour. 1810 - 1880 Tunisia Fine And Applied Arts A new lifestyle develops in the luxurious mansions inside the medina and also in the large properties of the surrounding area. Mirrors and consoles, chandeliers from Venice etc., are set alongside Spanish-North African furniture. All manner of interior items, as well as women’s clothing and jewellery, experience the same mutations. 1810 - 1830 Tunisia Economy And Trade Situated at the confluence of the seas of the Mediterranean, Tunis is seen as a great commercial city that many of her neighbours fear. Food and luxury goods are in abundance and considerable fortunes are created through international trade and the trade-race at sea. 1810 - 1845 Tunisia Migrations Taking advantage of treaties known as Capitulations an increasing number of Europeans arrive to seek their fortune in the commerce and industry of the regency, in particular the Leghorn Jews, Italians and Maltese. 1810 - 1850 Tunisia Migrations Important increase in the arrival of black slaves. The slave market is supplied by seasonal caravans and the Fezzan from Ghadames and the sub-Saharan region in general. 1810 - 1930 Tunisia Migrations The end of the race in the Mediterranean. For over 200 years the Regency of Tunis saw many free or enslaved Christians arrive from all over the Mediterranean Basin.

  • From the Director's Desk
    FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK News The Ketoctin Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution recently presented the Library with the seventh volume in a series of state resource guides published by the NSDAR Library. This volume, North Carolina in the American Revolution: A Source Guide for Genealogists and Historians, provides detailed information on the availability of manuscript and archival material that exists for the state for the period of the Revolutionary War along with listings of historical and genealogical studies that have been published and which supplement the original sources. John Kelly “Jack” Barrett and the Black History Committee Heritage Bus Tour Team were recipients of the 2016 Loudoun History Awards. Jack Barrett was rec- ognized for his research, writing, speaking, and sharing with others his knowledge of Loudoun County. His published books, available for purchase at Thomas Balch Library, include the ever popular A History of Loudoun County Baseball 1869- 1987, and a three volume history of Purcellville. He also co-authored a History of Loudoun Golf and Country Club. The Black History Committee Heritage Bus Tour Team was recognized for its research and creation of a guided bus tour of African American sites in Loudoun County. The popular tour is now presented annually and always sells out. In 2015-2016 TBL received three manuscript collections of particular note that, once made available, will enrich researchers’ understanding of four communities in Loudoun County. The Keene/Edwards Family Collection, Ashburn Hotel Collection, and the R.E. Russell Family Collection contain papers relating to experiences of individual families in Loudoun County during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
