Some Provisional Remarks on the Burns Paper Database.1
1 “A parcel of mash’d old rags”: some provisional remarks on the Burns Paper 1 Database. (RONNIE YOUNG) Considering their widespread publication and global reach, the works of Robert Burns are perhaps worth far more than the paper they were originally written on, even taking into account the substantial cash value of a genuine manuscript by the poet. Yet paper - to us a relatively disposable medium - was for Burns a crucial part of a complex creative process and a central part of his life as poet, farmer and exciseman. The Burns Paper Database is a project to capture some of that life and, for the first time, to record the various details about the paper on which Burns wrote. Using recent technology - the software database and the digital image – to compare and assess Burns’s manuscripts, we can develop an aid to dating and authenticating Burns’s manuscripts and even reveal clues about the writing of specific works. As a poet who was characteristically self-aware about the process of writing, Burns also frequently showed awareness of the medium on which he wrote. On 18 July 1788, Robert Burns replied from Mauchline to the bookseller Peter Hill (1754-1837), excusing his failure to maintain a regular correspondence with his friend and business representative in Edinburgh: “You injured me, my dear Sir, in your construction of the cause of my Silence.—From Ellisland in Nithsdale to Mauchline in Kyle, is forty & five miles; there, a house a building, & farm inclosures & improvements to tend; here, A new—not so much indeed a new as a young -

Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish History1
The Scottish Historical Review, Volume LXXXV, 1: No. 219: April 2006, 1–27 MATTHEW H. HAMMOND Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish history1 ABSTRACT Historians have long tended to define medieval Scottish society in terms of interactions between ethnic groups. This approach was developed over the course of the long nineteenth century, a formative period for the study of medieval Scotland. At that time, many scholars based their analysis upon scientific principles, long since debunked, which held that medieval ‘peoples’ could only be understood in terms of ‘full ethnic packages’. This approach was combined with a positivist historical narrative that defined Germanic Anglo-Saxons and Normans as the harbingers of advances in Civilisation. While the prejudices of that era have largely faded away, the modern discipline still relies all too often on a dualistic ethnic framework. This is particularly evident in a structure of periodisation that draws a clear line between the ‘Celtic’ eleventh century and the ‘Norman’ twelfth. Furthermore, dualistic oppositions based on ethnicity continue, particu- larly in discussions of law, kingship, lordship and religion. Geoffrey Barrow’s Robert Bruce and the Community of the Realm of Scotland, first published in 1965 and now available in the fourth edition, is proba- bly the most widely read book ever written by a professional historian on the Middle Ages in Scotland.2 In seeking to introduce the thirteenth century to such a broad audience, Barrow depicted Alexander III’s Scot- land as fundamentally -
RBWF Burns Chronicle Index
A Directory To the Articles and Features Published in “The Burns Chronicle” 1892 – 2005 Compiled by Bill Dawson A “Merry Dint” Publication 2006 The Burns Chronicle commenced publication in 1892 to fulfill the ambitions of the recently formed Burns Federation for a vehicle for “narrating the Burnsiana events of the year” and to carry important articles on Burns Clubs and the developing Federation, along with contributions from “Burnessian scholars of prominence and recognized ability.” The lasting value of the research featured in the annual publication indicated the need for an index to these, indeed the 1908 edition carried the first listings, and in 1921, Mr. Albert Douglas of Washington, USA, produced an index to volumes 1 to 30 in “the hope that it will be found useful as a key to the treasures of the Chronicle” In 1935 the Federation produced an index to 1892 – 1925 [First Series: 34 Volumes] followed by one for the Second Series 1926 – 1945. I understand that from time to time the continuation of this index has been attempted but nothing has yet made it to general publication. I have long been an avid Chronicle collector, completing my first full set many years ago and using these volumes as my first resort when researching any specific topic or interest in Burns or Burnsiana. I used the early indexes and often felt the need for a continuation of these, or indeed for a complete index in a single volume, thereby starting my labour. I developed this idea into a guide categorized by topic to aid research into particular fields. -

Dunlop CALENDAR OF Papal Letters to Scotland of Clement VII of Avignon 1378-1394 edited by Charles Burns ★ Annie I. Dunlop (1897-1973): a Memoir by Ian B. Cowan EDINBURGH printed for the Scottish History Society by T. AND A. CONSTABLE LTD 1976 Scottish History Society 1976 SIO^MY^ c 19 77 ,5 ISBN 9500260 8 5 Printed in Great Britain PREFACE The Great Schism, which originated in a disputed papal election, has always been regarded as one of the most crucial periods in the history of western Christendom, and to this day that election remains the greatest unresolved controversy of the later Middle Ages. The stand taken by the Scottish nation throughout the Schism was particu- larly significant, yet, until recently, Scottish historians had explored only inadequately the original sources existing in the Vatican Archives. During the academic year 1961-2, the University of Glasgow awarded me a research scholarship with the specific aim of examining the letter-books, or registers, of one of the rival popes, and of noting systematically all the entries concerning Scotland. A microfilm of this source material is deposited with the Department of Scottish History. This project was instrumental in introducing me to the late Dr Annie I. Dunlop. It won her immediate and enthusiastic approval and she followed its progress with lively interest. Only a few months before her death, Dr Dunlop asked me, if I was still working hard for Scotland ! This Calendar of Papal Letters of Clement vn of Avignon relating to Scotland is the result of that work. -

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth. -

Museum Grants for African American History and Culture Sample Application MH-00-19-0031-19 “Schomburg Curriculum Project” The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture New York, NY Amount awarded by IMLS: $133,912 Amount of cost share: $133,912 Attached are the following components excerpted from the original application. Abstract . Narrative . Schedule of Completion Please note that the instructions for preparing applications for the FY2020 Museum Grants for African American History and Culture grant program differ from those that guided the preparation of FY2019 applications. Be sure to use the instructions in the FY2020 Notice of Funding Opportunity for the grant program to which you are applying. Museum Grants for African American History and Culture Program The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture Abstract There is a growing demand nationwide for culturally relevant curricula in the nation’s K-12 classrooms. In New York, the State Education Department plans to mandate that all schools implement culturally relevant pedagogical methods, including the use of curricula that draw on a broader array of social experiences, while nationally a recent report by the Southern Poverty Law Center demonstrated both that students are under-educated about the history of slavery and that teachers recognize that they have not been well-prepared to teach it. With its rich collections of more than 11 million items and its strong relationships with local educators, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a research unit of The New York Public Library, is uniquely poised to meet these needs. Through the proposed Schomburg Curriculum Project, the Schomburg Center will engage a consultant Curriculum Writer to develop a history curriculum for grades 6-12 focusing on key themes in African American history that can be illustrated using the Schomburg Center’s rich collections. -
14Th CONGRESS.] Enable Him to Form Such Register, He, for His Own
1816.] REGISTER OF OFFICERS OF THE UNITED STATES. 307 JANUARYn 9, 1816. With every expedient of economy that I find possible, I am living at an expense which, at the end of two years from my arrival in this country, would more than absorb the whole salary for those two yeaLs, even with tile allow- ance for the outfit. A very few years' residence here must involve my own affairs beyond all power of redemption. Extracts of a letterfrom Mr. Adams to thte Secretary of State, dated JANUARY 4, 1816. It is very desirable that some general revision of the consular establishments should be made, and some regular system concerning them be sanctioned by law. For the port of London a provision for the compensation of the consul must be made, or the office must be given to some wealthy merchant established in the city, to whom it may be acceptable for the facilities of business which le may derive from it. Colonel Aspinwall cannot hold it long without a salary, or without forming a commercial establishment connected with it, and upon which alone he must rely for support. In one of his late letters to me, (a copy of which has been transmitted to you,) Mr. Beasley expresses the convic- tion that the provision made by the laws of the United States for the relief of indigent and destitute seamen in foreign ports is liable to great abuse. The late and present excessive numbers of persons claiming the benefit of it, both at London and Liverpool, afford confirmations of that opinion; but, on the other hand, it is obvious that, with the increase of our commerce and navigation, the casualties incident to them must have proportionably multiplied.
