r--------------,----------- Gini Wisner Collection Description The Gini Wisner Collection was developed by Virginia Crissey Wisner, 1928-2003, of Bellevue, King County, Washington. She descends from the immigrant, Jacob Crissey, born in Germany in 1710. The collection consists of 19 ring binder notebooks, each devoted to a single family line or to several collateral families. To make the information within the collection more accessible to researchers, the notebooks have been given volume numbers in addition to the original titles provided by Wisner. The volumes are labeled 1-19 and retain Ginny WISNER's titles. The notebooks are well organized, with most photocopies of original records placed in archival sleeves. They contain census records, wills, deeds, marriage and death certificates and family photographs of later generations. Some sections contain a copy of Wisner's own manuscript on that individual or family. Virginia Beatrice Crissey Wisner, Biography Virginia Beatrice Crissey was born 8 March, 1928 to Cecil Ray Crissey and Kitty Dimmick who had married 9 October, 1925 in the Presbyterian Church in Albany, NY, her second marriage. Ginny has written a 26-page biography of her family that appears in the first volume of the collection. Ginny was the middle of three sisters: Allene Ray, born June 1921 married Dick GRIMM; Virginia, 8 March 1928, died 5 June 2003, married Robert G. WISNER Eunice Cecile, born 28 February 1930, married Bill KELLEY. Virginia's husband Robert G. Wisner, born 22 May 1924, died 14 May 2002, was a geologist and engineer for Boeing. They lived in Wyoming, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, Alabama, Louisiana, and then returned to the Pacific Northwest. Ginny began studying Dental Hygiene at Tufts Dental College but then went to the Katherine Dell School in Boston to prepare herself as a medical secretary. Her first job was with a small advertising agency. She later became interested in family history and took classes for several years at the Fiske Genealogy Library. She also volunteered at the Fiske Library and left her collection to the Fiske upon her death. She died 5 June, 2003 in Bellevue. i----------------·----------------------------------------------------·--------------~ Gini Wisner Collection Index, 19 notebooks 1.

    Resources for Teachers John Trumbull’s Declaration of Independence CONVERSATION STARTERS • What is happening with the Declaration of Independence in this painting? o The Committee of Five is presenting their draft to the President of the Continental Congress, John Hancock. • Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson apparently told John Trumbull that, if portraits couldn’t be painted from life or copied from other portraits, it would be better to leave delegates out of the scene than to poorly represent them. Do you agree? o Trumbull captured 37 portraits from life (which means that he met and painted the person). When he started sketching with Jefferson in 1786, 12 signers of the Declaration had already died. By the time he finished in 1818, only 5 signers were still living. • If you were President James Madison, and you wanted four monumental paintings depicting major moments in the American Revolution, which moments would you choose? o Madison and Trumbull chose the surrender of General Burgoyne at Saratoga, the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, the Declaration of Independence, and the resignation of Washington.

Warner and Ida C. Brown Ann Arbor 1963 Composition and Lithoprinted by BRAUN -BRUM FIELD, Inc. Ann Arbor, Michigan Oil.. Ill* H INTRODUCTION The Michigan Historical Collections are a special library of The University of Michigan, con- taining the archives of the University and papers of individuals and organizations throughout Michi- gan. In the beginning there were two different projects. One, begun by Professor Lewis G. Vander Velde in 1934, was a program of collecting manuscript and printed materials relating to Michigan history, primarily for the use of graduate students in his seminar. The other program concerned the collecting and preservation of records of the University. To accomplish this purpose, President Alexander G. Ruthven appointed The Committee on University Archives, of which Professor Vander Velde was the secretary. Firmly convinced that a comprehen- sive collection of manuscripts dealing with the history of the University and the State would be use- ful for students and scholars, he began a vigorous campaign of letter writing and personal visits. Housed for a time in a room in the Clements Library, in 1938, needing more space, the papers were moved into the newly opened Rackham Building. In the same year the Regents established the Michigan Historical Collections and appointed Professor Vander Velde the Director.
