  • Images of New England: Documenting the Built Environment
    474 American Archivist / Vol. 50 / Fall 1987 Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/50/4/474/2747585/aarc_50_4_k61r617u31jx5704.pdf by guest on 23 September 2021 Images of New England: Documenting the Built Environment NANCY CARLSON SCHROCK Abstract: The 1980s find the New England states in a period of economic expansion and development that has an impact upon its landscape and built environment. Older structures are being renovated or destroyed, while extensive new building is simultaneously under way. Documenting these changes involves identifying and preserving the records of build- ings that are disappearing as well as those of new construction. The author reviews briefly the history of architecture in New England, focusing on its relationship to the evolution of types of documentation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: original design records, publications and stock plans, and visual records of completed buildings and their changes over time. The differing approaches of the six states to preserving these records are profiled, and their efforts linked with the growth of an active historic preservation movement. Aspects of the built environment remain less well documented: current development, commercial architecture, landscape design, builders' records, and owner-initiated projects. The author concludes by proposing regional efforts to deal with these issues, capitalizing upon the expertise and experience of the curators, archivists, and conservators of New England's architectural collections. About the author: Nancy Carlson Schrock is self-employed as a book conservator and consultant on library preservation in Winchester, Massachusetts. During 1979-82, she served as project di- rector for NHPRC- and NEH-sponsored surveys of architectural records, which culminated in publication of Mass COPAR's Architectural Records in Boston.

  • Acting Out: Gypsy Rose Lee, Burlesque Culture, and Sylvia Plath
    WENDY WHELAN-STEWART Acting Out: Gypsy Rose Lee, Burlesque Culture, and Sylvia Plath Te summer that Sylvia Plath spent in New York as a guest editor for Mademoiselle was a critical landmark in the writer’s life. Te site of her immersion in the overlapping spheres of literary culture, professional writing, and women’s fashion was the Barbizon Hotel for Women. Te hotel stood in 1953, as it does now, at the corner of the famous Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street. Just a few paces west on 63rd Street, at the Northwestern corner of the block, was the stylish apartment owned by Gypsy Rose Lee, the “literary stripper”. Te proximity of these two women to one another, rather than an intersection, is signifcant to understanding the impact that burlesque culture had on Plath’s literary career. In fact, twenty-year-old Plath’s fnal gesture to fashionable, feminine New York bears something of the burlesque: On her last night at the Barbizon, afer weeks of exhaustive performances before demanding and famous senior editors and photographers, Plath hoisted her suitcase to the roof where the other undergraduate guest editors collected. Te suitcase contained all of the complimentary clothing articles Mademoiselle had showered on Plath and her young colleagues. Before a tipsy, amused crowd, Plath “tossed each slip, stocking, sheath, and skirt into the night sky” (Winder 200). Tese garments, particularly the undergarments, held up one by one and then dropped before a crowd onto a public street, allude to the spectacle of a woman’s removing her inner and outer layers before an audience.
