Extent 14.84 Linear feet Language English Graphic materials [Box] 1-10 Container Abstract The Enoch Pratt Free Library Photographs and Ephemera Collection (1900?-1960s) provides a rare glimpse of the first Enoch Pratt Free Central Library on Mulberry Street, and the new Central Library on Cathedral Street. More specifically, the interior and exterior photographs of each building and library workers document the period. The collection also consists of training class photographs and branch library photographs as well as newspaper articles and ephemera, and personal effects of Enoch Pratt. - Page 3 - Enoch Pratt Free Library: Photographs and Ephemera MS 15.4 Biographical/Historical note On January 21, 1882, Enoch Pratt offered a gift to the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore and an endowment of $1,058,333.00 to build a Central library and four branch libraries. "My library," Mr. Pratt is attributed to have said, "shall be for all, rich and poor without distinction of race or color, who, when properly accredited, can take out the books if they will handle them carefully and return them." Later that year, the City of Baltimore accepted Pratt's gift, and Baltimore citizens voted their approval on October 25, 1882. In 1883, the Pratt Library's Board of Trustees appointed Enoch Pratt as President, and in November, 1884, chose Lewis H. Steiner to be the first Librarian (i.e., Director) of the Pratt Library. On February 25, 1885, the Pratt library purchased its first books, and Charles Evans, Assistant Librarian, began to catalog them. The Central Library on Mulberry Street opened on January 5, 1886 and within the next three months, the Pratt Library would open: •Branch 4 (at Canton and O'Donnell Streets - the Canton Branch still exists today) •Branch 3 (at Light and Gittings Streets) •Branch 2 (at Hollins and Calhoun Streets) •Branch 1 (at Fremont and Pitcher Streets) •October 15: the Pratt Library issued a borrowers card to Harry S. Cummings of 935 North Eutaw Street. He was the first African American to have a Pratt Library card. In 1926, Joseph L. Wheeler became the Director of the Pratt Library, replacing the late Bernard C. Steiner. Wheeler led a transformation in many of the Pratt Library's services and operations. On May 3, 1927, Baltimore voters approved (by a margin of almost 3 to 1!) a $3 million loan to build a new Central Library building. Construction on the new Central Library began in June 1931, and the Pratt Library formed specialized subject departments before occupying the new building in 1932. Scope and Contents note The collection consists of photographs, ephemera and articles related to both the First Enoch Pratt Free Central Library on Mulberry Street (pre-1932) and the new Central Library (1932). The collection combines a set of photographs of training classes and the branches. The Hughes Company of Baltimore developed many of the 8 x 10 photographs. The majority of the photos depict the architecture of the buildings; however, a few show the interior décor, visitors, or social events. Nearly all of the branch photographs have an advertisement page (source unknown, date approximately 1930) that describes the activities of the library to encourage borrowing. The collections vary in photo size as well as in number of photographs. The collection also consists of sixteen training class photographs from 1928-1944. The photographs were taken by The Hughes Company, Baltimore, MD (1943/44 is not stamped with Hughes emblem). Each class member is identified by their full name. The collection also documents female fashion trends over - Page 4 - Enoch Pratt Free Library: Photographs and Ephemera MS 15.4 the decades. From 1931, men start to join the library profession in small numbers also. Finally, there is also a collection of publicity photographs by A. Aubrey Bodine (1940-1950s). The collection includes the following: I. First Enoch Pratt Free Library on Mulberry Street; II. New Enoch Pratt Free Central Library 1933-1960; III. Training Class Photographs 1928-1944; IV. Branch Library Collection 1900s-?? Arrangement Series Description: Series I.
