Papers of the Australian Lebanese Historical Society at the National Guide to the Papers of the Australian Lebanese Historical Society Inc. (1999-2015) Deposited with the National Library of Australia Canberra Paul Convy Australian Lebanese Historical Society Inc. Coogee NSW April 2017 0 Introduction The Australian Lebanese Historical Society Inc. was formed in 1999 and incorporated in New South Wales in June 2006. The Society aims to encourage scholarship in the study of the history of Lebanese settlement in Australia, highlight the contributions those of Lebanese heritage have made to Australian society and to promote the establishment of archives relating to this history. The Society first envisaged that it could act as conduit for people who wished to deposit historically important material to public collections. This, however, proved to be impractical because private citizens tend not to have historical papers arranged in a fashion where they can be transferred to an archive without much cost and staff resources. Even large public archives tend not have the resources to accept unarranged, unsorted papers into their collections. Moreover, the Society needed to lobby public collection managers for them to understand the historical importance of what is on offer. The material the Society acquired was often donated by members and supporters who saw the value of the material they held but could not find a repository. It was also acquired as a result of research undertaken for various Society activities, exhibitions and publications. Over the last 17 years Society volunteers led by Paul Convy as honorary librarian have built on what was at first just an accumulation of papers into a working library and archives collection with finding aids and access points to allow the collection to be used by researchers. The collection provides a good overview of this history of Lebanese settlement in Australia; of use to academic and other researchers as well as family and local historians. The material includes of published works, photographs, press clippings, memorial and obituary cards, and ephemera. It includes the images of the 1st and 2nd waves of Lebanese migration to Australia (analogous to having the images of 1st and 2nd Fleeter of 18th century settlers). It shows the transnational nature of Lebanese migration with closely related members of families in the United States and Canada and other parts of the world. It shows Australian Lebanese in a non-stereotypical picture of settlement in a new community. It has biographical treatment of many Australian Lebanese including pioneering business people and hawkers, commercial leaders, political figures and others from the arts, literature and other endeavours. The Society has only limited resources and there is no guarantee that this historically important collection can be maintained forever, or that the current custodians will be able to maintain it in the long term or give access to researchers. It was felt by the Board of the Society that the best course would be to lodge the society’s archive collection with a publicly accessible institution. In 2015 the National Library of Australia accepted the offer of the Society to lodge the collection within their manuscripts collection. This will not only safeguard collection for future generations but also provide a central point in the national capital where researchers are able to easily access material during library hours. The papers are stored under in the manuscript section of the Library with the call number MS 10162. Over the last year since the papers have been prepared and dispatched to the Library, a small amount of addition material has been donated to the collection and described, indexed and arranged will likely fill another type 1 archive box, which can be added to the collection in Canberra. There are still opportunities for additional material to be added as it is acquired. DIGITISED COLLECTION STILL IN SOCIETY’S HANDS The vast majority of the collection has been digitized, including all of the photographs and is stored on the Society’s computer hard drive – and is available for use by the Society at any time. The Treasurer has a backup copy on another separate hard disc. 1 1920s Passport of Alexander Alam and his wife Therese from the collection of the Australian Lebanese Historical Society Inc. The passport is an important item in the collection because it demonstates something of the life and career of the Alams, Alexander Alam was a significant political figure in New South Wales and Therese Alam was an import figure in the social and community life of of the Australian Lebanese and general community from the 1920s through to the 1970s. The passport is also historically interesting because it is a “British” passport issued to the children of Lebanese (then called “Syrian”) immigrants and because Therese, an important person in her own right, was included on her husband’s documentation. 2 Boxes 1 to 9: Research Files under Subject Headings The first nine boxes of material consisted of material arranged in subject order from the research files of the Society, and were originally housed in a filing cabinet. This material was acquired as a result of research undertaken for various activities and publications of the Society and other material donated to the collection by members and others that related to the history of Lebanese settlement in Australia. Formats included press and magazine clippings, journal articles, postcards, business letterheads, memorial and obituary cards and other types of ephemera. Other than the subject headings there were no other indexes to this material. The headings relate mainly to the surnames adopted in Australia by Lebanese settlers, and the towns and places they settled as well as a number of broad heading relating to the history and sociology of that settlement. Because the transliteration of names from Arabic to English could produce many variations, even within the same families, single headings based on surnames covered included the spelling variations. For instance, material about the Batros and Betros families were included under the one heading for “Batros, Betros”.

  • The Mummy of the Lebanese National Hero, Youssef Bey Karam (1823-1889): an Emblematic Paleopathological Case
    Medicina Historica 2020; Vol. 4, N. 3: e2020021 © Mattioli 1885 Case report: paleopathology The mummy of the Lebanese national hero, Youssef Bey Karam (1823-1889): an emblematic paleopathological case. Luigi Capasso1, Fadi Fenianos2, Ruggero D’Anastasio1 1Operative Unit of Anthropology, Department of Medicine and Aging Sciences, ‘G d’Annunzio’ University of Chieti–Pescara, Chieti, Italy; 2Saydet Zgharta Hospital, North Lebanon, Lebanon Abstract. Youssef Bey Karam was a Lebanese nationalist leader, of a Maronite Christian family, who led the national resistance against the occupation of the Ottoman Empire. He died in exile in Italy in 1889 and his naturally mummified body returned to Lebanon the following year. Here we show the results of the anthropo- logical and paleopathological analyses performed on the mummy during its restoration and preservation. The biological profile that emerged from anthropological investigations corresponds to the Karam’s biographical data. The tomographic analyses, in addition to detecting the persistence of the internal organs, highlighted some pathological conditions: multiple healed fractures, osteoarthritis of the lumbar vertebral column, and dental caries with periodontal disease. In particular, the computed tomography showed the thickening of the bronchial tree, and opacity of the pulmonary parenchyma at the level of the hilum of the right lung. These conditions are consistent with a diagnosis of bronchopneumonia, that is the same diagnosis, that was pro- posed by the pathologist on his death certificate, on 7 April, 1889. Key words: anthropology, paleopathology, bronchopneumonia, pandemic Introduction the natural mummy of Karam, which had been kept in the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Edhen, Zgharta Dis- Prince Youssef Bey Karam was the first theoreti- trict, North Lebanon (Fig.

The osteology of Gladiopycnodus karami gen. et sp. nov., of Monocerichthys scheuchzeri gen. et sp. nov. and of Rostropycnodus gayeti gen. et sp. nov., three new fossil fishes from the marine Cenomanian (Late Cretaceous) of Lebanon, is studied in detail. Some of their cranial characters and the presence of a postcoelomic bone clearly refer these fishes to the order Pycnodontiformes. However, they differ from all other described Pycnodontiformes by two important characters. Their snout is elongated as a rostrum, formed by the enlarged prefrontal and the toothless premaxilla, with this premaxilla sutured by its upper margin to the lower margin of the prefrontal. Their pectoral fin is replaced by a strong spine articulated with the cleithrum.

PREFACE It is only a coincidence that we are publishing this monograph at a time when the Islamic world is increasingly influencing major international developments. We are hopeful, nevertheless, that during these difficult times we may be able to contribute to a better understanding of the Arab world, of their contributions to world civilizations, and their impact on the development of the American nation in general and Cleveland in particular. In comparison to other ethnic groups in Cleveland, the Arab American community is not one of our largest, oldest, or best organized. It has, however, and still is asserting a unique and valuable influence on the life and growth of this area.

Who seized your magic ring and cut your golden nails? Arise, Beirut, so that the world may survive…that we may survive…that love may survive » 2. Le Liban est une fascination continue. Ce pays ne cessera d’occuper une place centrale dans le domaine de l’histoire, des études sur le Moyen-Orient, de la question d’identité et d’appartenance, et surtout, dans les questions liées à la mémoire. Ce travail est le fruit d’une longue réflexion et d’un questionnement continu qui occupe la pensée de l’auteur, celle de savoir ce qu’est d’être Libanais-se. En effet, être Libanais-se n’est pas un fait absolu, mais varie d’un individu à l’autre, car l’identité n’est point un objet figé. Ainsi, ce travail de recherche répond, du moins en partie, à ce questionnement infini, qu’est l’appartenance à une nation, en l’occurrence libanaise, et ses manifestations. 2 Nizar QABBANI, Beirut!
