It is the result of more than 16 years of ongoing cataloging, inventorying, and reorganization work done on the collections, and highlights what is now the premier collection on the history of the specialty of family medicine in the United States. The Center for the History of Family Medicine serves as the primary repository of information and resources on the history and evolution of general practice, family practice, the specialty of family medicine and the family medicine organizations. The Center endeavors to play a major role in informing through history the transformation of the future of family medicine as a discipline. It fills three important roles in one:as an historical research library, holding published works on family medicine, as well as books by or about family physicians; as an archives, serving as the official repository for both the records of the major family medicine organizations and leaders within the specialty; and as a museum, featuring artifacts and exhibits from the earliest days of general practice up to the present day’s specialty of family medicine. The Center also features a professionally staffed, climate-controlled facility utilizing archival-quality materials for preserving records and artifacts of enduring historical value, and offers a variety of programs and services, such as an oral history project to help capture and preserve the ongoing history of family medicine; research fellowship and internship programs; research and reference services; and both traveling and online exhibits to help tell the unique story of our specialty. The Center for the History of Family Medicine is presently the only institution dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of family medicine in the United States. As a unique institution within the world of family medicine, the CHFM chronicles family medicine’s distinguished past and looks forward to its promising future. We believe that the Center is unique – one of the finest historical centers of its kind among medical specialty organizations, and the premier resource center for the study of the history of family medicine in the United States. It is our goal to serve as a professional historical resource center of the highest quality, and it is in this spirit that this Guide to the Collections of the Center for the History of Family Medicine has been prepared. Crystal Bauer, Manager Center for the History of Family Medicine July 2021 2 HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE This Guide to the Collections for the Center for the History of Family Medicine is arranged in four major sections: 1). ARCHIVES COLLECTION The Archives Collection consists of the official historical records of the major family medicine organizations, as well as the personal and professional papers of individuals involved in the development and evolution of family medicine. Included in this collection are also photographs, slides, audio and videotapes, CDs, DVDs, flash (thumb) and hard drives, and other audiovisual materials. The Archives Collection is arranged in five major categories as follows: a). Records of Organizations—These records include the official historical records and publications of major family medicine organizations and include the records of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP); the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation (AAFP Foundation); the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM); the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP); the Association of Departments of Family Medicine (ADFM); the Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors (AFMRD); the North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG); and the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM). These records are arranged in acid-free (blue-grey) archival boxes within the Center and are arranged according to the Center’s uniform subject headings list (see Appendix 1 for details). b). Records of Individuals—These include the personal and professional papers of general practitioners, family physicians, educators and others involved in the development and evolution of the specialty of family medicine. This collection is arranged in acid-free (tan) archival boxes within the Center and is arranged according to the Center’s uniform subject headings list (see Appendix 1 for details). c.) Audiovisual Materials—Audiovisual materials include CDs, DVDs, computer diskettes, digital files, flash (thumb) and hard drives, films, slides, audiocassettes, videotapes (1/2” VHS, 3/4” Beta- Max and other) and microfilm relating to the history and evolution of the specialty of family medicine. All audiovisual materials are arranged according to the uniform subject headings list (see Appendix 1). The Audiovisual Collections also include taped oral histories, including the “Voices from Family Medicine” Oral History Series, and extensive audio and videotape collections. 3 d). Oversized Materials—Oversized materials are composed of large or oversized blueprints, photographs, posters, and other materials that because of their size or bulk, are stored separately in an oversized flat file within the Center. They are arranged in two separate divisions: as Non- Photograph materials (posters, prints, blueprints, etc.) and as Photographs. e). Photographs—The Photograph Collection contains approximately 26,000 photographs [as of July 1, 2019] on a variety of subjects relating to the history of family medicine. Copies of photographic prints may be requested from most of the photos in our collection at a cost. (For more details on prices for reproductions and services, please see Appendix 3.) The Photograph Collection is also subdivided into two major categories: regular-size photographs, negatives and extra prints, which are located in acid-free (tan) archival boxes in the Center; and Oversized original photographs, which are located within the oversized flat file in the Center. Both regular- size and oversized photographs are indexed and arranged under the Center’s uniform subject headings. (Note: at present, all individual photographs have not yet been inventoried, but the subjects under which they are contained have been listed for purposes of this Catalog. For more details, see the Photographic Collections section later in this Guide.) 2). LIBRARY COLLECTION The Library Collection contains over 1,350 volumes [as of July 1, 2021] on the following subjects: a.) Books by or about family medicine or family physicians; b.) General works on the history of American medicine; and c.) General reference works. Books within the Library Collection are organized and subdivided into four categories: books in the Main Collection; Rare Collection (classified as such due to their age, value or if signed by the author or presenter); the Reference Collection; and the Adam G.N. Moore, MD Collection in the History of Family Medicine. The Library Collection also includes periodicals as well as more than 2,000 [as of July 1, 2020] individual reference (clip) files containing extracted and photocopied materials on a variety of subjects related to family medicine. These files are classified and arranged under the same uniform subject headings as are used for the Archives Collection (see Appendix 1 for more details on the uniform subject headings). 3). MUSEUM (ARTIFACT) COLLECTION The Center’s Museum (Artifact) Collection consists of artifacts or other three-dimensional objects, textiles, and framed or other exhibit materials that are of value in interpreting the history 4 of family medicine in the United States or that are of value for use in permanent or temporary exhibits on the history of family medicine in the United States. The collection is arranged in three major categories as follows: a). Artifacts in Storage—Included in this collection are souvenirs and ephemera from the major family medicine organizations, badges, textiles, and other items which are currently in storage (i.e., those items which are not presently on exhibit or which have not been packaged as part of a traveling exhibit); b). Plaques & Framed Items—These include framed pictures, plaques, posters (which include framed posters and large posters stored in tubes) which are currently not being used in exhibits or are not on display; and c). Traveling Exhibits—Traveling exhibits have been developed from the Center’s collections. These small, table-top sized exhibits are specially prepared to be loaned to the various family medicine organizations, schools, civic organizations

  • Chapter 4 the Right-Wing Media Enablers of Anti-Islam Propaganda
    Chapter 4 The right-wing media enablers of anti-Islam propaganda Spreading anti-Muslim hate in America depends on a well-developed right-wing media echo chamber to amplify a few marginal voices. The think tank misinforma- tion experts and grassroots and religious-right organizations profiled in this report boast a symbiotic relationship with a loosely aligned, ideologically-akin group of right-wing blogs, magazines, radio stations, newspapers, and television news shows to spread their anti-Islam messages and myths. The media outlets, in turn, give members of this network the exposure needed to amplify their message, reach larger audiences, drive fundraising numbers, and grow their membership base. Some well-established conservative media outlets are a key part of this echo cham- ber, mixing coverage of alarmist threats posed by the mere existence of Muslims in America with other news stories. Chief among the media partners are the Fox News empire,1 the influential conservative magazine National Review and its website,2 a host of right-wing radio hosts, The Washington Times newspaper and website,3 and the Christian Broadcasting Network and website.4 They tout Frank Gaffney, David Yerushalmi, Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson, and others as experts, and invite supposedly moderate Muslim and Arabs to endorse bigoted views. In so doing, these media organizations amplify harm- ful, anti-Muslim views to wide audiences. (See box on page 86) In this chapter we profile some of the right-wing media enablers, beginning with the websites, then hate radio, then the television outlets. The websites A network of right-wing websites and blogs are frequently the primary movers of anti-Muslim messages and myths.

  • Cooper, Anderson (B
    Cooper, Anderson (b. 1967) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Anderson Cooper. Entry Copyright © 2012 glbtq, Inc. Photograph by Flickr Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com user minds-eye. CC-BY- SA 2.0. Award-winning television journalist Anderson Cooper has traveled the globe, reporting from war zones and scenes of natural and man-made disasters, as well as covering stories on political and social issues. Cooper is a ubiquitous presence on American television, for in addition to being a news anchor, he also hosts a talk show. Cooper is the son of heiress and designer Gloria Vanderbilt and her fourth husband, Wyatt Cooper. In his memoir, Dispatches from the Edge (2006), Cooper stated that his parents' "backgrounds could not have been more different." Whereas his mother descends from one of American best-known and wealthiest families, his father was born into a poor farm family in the small town of Quitman, Mississippi. When he was sixteen he moved to the Ninth Ward of New Orleans with his mother and five of his seven siblings. Anderson Cooper wrote that his "father fell in love with New Orleans from the start" and delighted in its culture. After graduating from Francis T. Nicholls High School, however, Wyatt Cooper headed to California to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Although he found work on both screen and stage, he eventually turned to screenwriting for Twentieth Century Fox. Wyatt Cooper and Vanderbilt married in 1964 and took up residence in a luxurious mansion in New York City. The couple had two sons, Carter, born in 1965, and Anderson, born on June 3, 1967.
