  • John Newbery Award Committee Manual
    JOHN NEWBERY AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL October 2009 John Newbery Award Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD John Newbery The Newbery Medal is named for John Newbery (1713-1767), known as the first publisher of books for children. The son of a farmer, he married a widow who owned a printing business in Reading, England. They moved to London and, in 1743, Newbery published “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, intended for the Instruction and Amusement of Little Master Tommy and Pretty Miss Polly, with an agreeable Letter to read from Jack the Giant-Killer, as also a Ball and a Pincushion, the use of which will infallibly make Tommy a good Boy and Polly a good Girl.” Although this was not the first book published for children (A Play-Book for Children was published by “J.G.” as early as 1694), Newbery was the first person to take children’s book publishing seriously, and many of his methods were copied by other authors and publishers. Newbery was an admirer of John Locke, who advocated teaching children through “some easy pleasant book, suited to his capacity.” Newbery’s books invariably had their didactic side, but he tempered instruction with a sense of humor. Works like Goody Two-Shoes, in which a poor but virtuous young woman is rewarded with riches, satisfied the moralists while providing a story with all the ups and downs of a modern soap opera. Other books on Newbery’s list included Aesop’s Fables, books of history and science, miscellanies, and even a children’s magazine, The Lilliputian Magazine, which contained stories, riddles, and songs.

  • Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri
    Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri. Compiled and Edited by David E. Richards Special Collections & Archives Department Duane G. Meyer Library Missouri State University Springfield, Missouri Last updated: September 16, 2012 This guide was made possible through a grant from the Richard S. Brownlee Fund from the State Historical Society of Missouri and support from Missouri State University. Introduction Missouri has a wealth of oral history recordings that document the rich and diverse population of the state. Beginning around 1976, libraries, archives, individual researchers, and local historical societies initiated oral history projects and began recording interviews on audio cassettes. The efforts continued into the 1980s. By 2000, digital recorders began replacing audio cassettes and collections continued to grow where staff, time, and funding permitted. As with other states, oral history projects were easily started, but transcription and indexing efforts generally lagged behind. Hundreds of recordings existed for dozens of discreet projects, but access to the recordings was lacking or insufficient. Larger institutions had the means to transcribe, index, and catalog their oral history materials, but smaller operations sometimes had limited access to their holdings. Access was mixed, and still is. This guide attempts to aggregate nearly all oral history holdings within the state and provide at least basic, minimal access to holdings from the largest academic repository to the smallest county historical society. The effort to provide a guide to the oral history collections of Missouri started in 2002 with a Brownlee Fund Grant from the State Historical Society of Missouri. That initial grant provided the seed money to create and send out a mail-in survey.

  • Ammi Phillips's Portraits with Animals
    Atntni Phillips's Portraits with Anitnals by Leigh Rehner Jones and Shirley A. Mearns mmi Phillips (1788-1865), the nineteenth-century portrait artist, spent most of his working life in the Hudson Valley, where he painted its people-and yes, a few of its animals , too. Two years ago, his POTtrait of a GiTl in a Red DTess sold A I for $682,000, a record price for a work by this extraordinarily pro­ lific artist who painted more than five hundred portraits during a career spanning at least fifty years. 2 Nineteen of the surviving portraits by Ammi Phillips depict ani­ mals, and these are some of the most appealing works by the Con­ necticut-born artist. The child he painted in Portrait of a Gid in a Red DTess is charming; equall y charming is the brown-and-white beagle­ like dog at her feet. Together they make an especiall y winning double portrait. While the people in Phillips's portraits are sometimes identified, more frequently their names are unknown. This anonym ity extends as we ll to the animals in his paintings. Cats and dogs are nearly always found with child ren, but in two portraits of adults, a horse and a team of oxen are painted which are undoubtedly clues to the sitters' professions. 62 The Hudson Valley Regional Review, September 1987, Volu me 4, Number 2 D r. Cornelius Allerton (1779-1855) was painted about 1825 in Pine Plains, Dutchess County, New York, where he practiced medicine. He was recalled later as having "perceptive faculties of high order" and as "quick and correct in diagnosis, and a bold yet carefuI prac­ titioner.
