  • Glisan, Rodney L. Collection
    Glisan, Rodney L. Collection Object ID VM1993.001.003 Scope & Content Series 3: The Outing Committee of the Multnomah Athletic Club sponsored hiking and climbing trips for its members. Rodney Glisan participated as a leader on some of these events. As many as 30 people participated on these hikes. They usually travelled by train to the vicinity of the trailhead, and then took motor coaches or private cars for the remainder of the way. Of the four hikes that are recorded Mount Saint Helens was the first climb undertaken by the Club. On the Beacon Rock hike Lower Hardy Falls on the nearby Hamilton Mountain trail were rechristened Rodney Falls in honor of the "mountaineer" Rodney Glisan. Trips included Mount Saint Helens Climb, July 4 and 5, 1915; Table Mountain Hike, November 14, 1915; Mount Adams Climb, July 1, 1916; and Beacon Rock Hike, November 4, 1917.

DEBENHAM & FREEBODY, WIGMORE STREET c^' WELBECK STREET, LONDON, W. aiFT OF PREFACE HE Fourth Edition of Ardern Holt's "Fancy Dresses Described" being exhausted, we have made arrange- ments for the publication of the Fifth Edition with such corrections as experience dictates, and a very large addition to the number of characters detailed. The suggestions we have received have been carefully noted, and the result is a larger and more comprehensive work than any hitherto published. The inquiry for Coloured Plates has induced us to select sixteen favourite Models for Illustration in Colours, of a completely new character, as well as a new series of smaller Illustrations, and we trust they will add greatly to the usefulness of the book. The Author's name is a guarantee for the correctness of the descriptions and accuracy of details; and we have endea- voured (as in former editions) to maintain such simplicity as will enable many ladies to produce the costumes at home.

  • Imports, Mechanisation and the Decline of the English Plaiting Industry: the View from the Hatters' Gazette, Luton 1873-1900
    Imports, Mechanisation and the Decline of the English Plaiting Industry: the View from the Hatters’ Gazette, Luton 1873-1900 Catherine Robinson Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MA by Research June 2016 Acknowledgments This dissertation would not have been possible without the kindness, encouragement, help and support of Sarah Lloyd and Julie Moore from the History Department at the University of Hertfordshire. I would like to thank Veronica Main who was the Significant Collections Curator during my research time at Luton’s Wardown Park Museum, for all her help and support; it was Veronica’s suggestion to research the decline of the plaiting industry. Veronica shared her passion for the straw hat and plait industries with me, welcomed me into the museum, facilitated my research of the Hatters’ Gazette, showed me the collections and shared her immense expertise. Being at Wardown Park Museum and reading the 19th century Hatters’ Gazette and being able to see and study the hats and plaits themselves, was a truly remarkable experience and one that I shall always treasure. I would also like to thank the staff at Wardown Park Museum for making my time researching not only fascinating but also so enjoyable. I would like to thank Elise Naish, Museums Collections Manager, for allowing me to research the Hatters’ Gazette at the museum during a very busy time for staff. I would like to thank Mary Miah for all her help – from getting the volumes of the Hatters’ Gazette out ready for my research, to scanning old documents and photographing images to be used in this research, to sharing her work space – thank you Mary.

APR 2. 1951 312213 INTR0DUeTI0N, all the collection of books and pamphlets heretofore issued upon the IN subject of Masquerades and kindred festivities, no single work has contained the condensed and general information sought by the multi- tude of inquirers who desire to render honor to Terpsichore in her fantastic moods, in the most approved manner and garb. Continuous queries from our correspondents and patrons indicated this lack, and research confirmed it. A work giving engravings and descriptions of popular costumes and naming appropriate occasions for their adoption, and also recapitulating the different varieties of Masquerade entertainments and their customs and requirements was evidently desired and needed; and to that demand we have responded in a manner that cannot fail to meet with approval and appreciation. In preparing this book every available resource has been within our reach, and the best authorities upon the subject have been consulted. These facts entitle us to the full confidence of our patrons who have only to glance over these pages to decide for themselves that the work is ample and complete, and that everyone may herein find a suitable costume for any festivity or entertainment requiring Fancy Dress, and reliable decisions as to the different codes of etiquette governing such revelries.

  • Women and the 1876 Centennial Exhibition
    REMEMBRANCE AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION: WOMEN AND THE 1876 CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Dolores Pfeuffer-Scherer December, 2016 Examining Committee Members: Kenneth L. Kusmer, Advisory Chair, Department of History, Temple University Susan Klepp, Department of History, Temple University David Waldstreicher, Department of History, Graduate Center, CUNY Judith Giesberg, Department of History, Villanova University ABSTRACT The United States Centennial was a pivotal event to celebrate the founding of the American nation. People came together to show the unity and progress of the United States, specifically after the division of the Civil War. As the industrial revolution took off in earnest, Americans were keen to show the world that they were united and taking the lead in industrial change. Further, to show that the United States was a force in the world, other nations were invited to participate by displaying their culture at the event. The Women’s Centennial Executive Committee (WCEC) became part of the effort to raise funds early on in the process. A group of thirteen women joined together with Benjamin Franklin’s great-granddaughter selected as their president and they set forth to raise funds and gain publicity for a “Woman’s Section” in the main building. When that prospect was denied them, the women then began to again raise monies, but this time for their own Women’s Pavilion. Determined not to be cut out of the exhibition, the women labored tirelessly to make their ideas reality.
