Franklin Jameson Papers 4 Scope and Content Note The papers of John Franklin Jameson (1859-1937) span the years 1604-1994, with the bulk of the material dating from 1900 to 1930. The papers are organized into nine series: Diaries, Family Papers, General Correspondence, Personal Miscellany, Office Files, Biographer's Papers, Miscellany, Additions, and Oversize. The papers include personal, family, and professional material. There are some papers relating to Jameson's academic careers at Brown University and the University of Chicago, but most concern his achievements in the establishment and early existence of institutions that helped to professionalize the field of American history in the twentieth century. These include the American Historical Association, American Historical Review, United States National Archives and Records Administration, and the Dictionary of American Biography. The largest portion of the papers consist of Jameson's files as director of the Department of Historical Research of the Carnegie Institution of Washington (1905-1928). Also in the papers are guides to and copying of material pertaining to American history in foreign repositories and files kept by Leo Francis Stock for the publication of Proceedings and Debates of the British Parliaments respecting North America. The following note by John Beverley Riggs, written in 1956, pertains primarily to the Office Files of the Department of Historical Research of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. REPORT ON THE PAPERS OF J. FRANKLIN JAMESON At the request of officials of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, the following report on the files of the Department of Historical Research is submitted. With the attached inventory, it forms a record memorandum of materials which are being transferred to the Division of Manuscripts in the Library of Congress, under a special instrument of gift. These files contain the official record of the Department of Historical Research (originally created as the Bureau of Historical Research on February 18, 1903). Besides the correspondence of Andrew C. McLaughlin, its first director (October 1, 1903-October 1905), and his successor, John Franklin Jameson (October 1905-June 1928), they contain a substantial body of material that antedates the existence of the Carnegie Institution itself. The pattern of the files indicates that much of this earlier material was interfiled when Jameson succeeded to the directorship 1905. Possibly as a matter of convenience in conducting his own correspondence, Jameson blended his files (particularly those for his years at Brown University and at the University of Chicago) with that which McLaughlin had left by

The Future of Archival History James O"Toole More than a dozen years ago, the archival educator and writer Richard Cox outlined the development of American archival history and offered some suggestions for the work that still needed to be done in that field .1 Drawing on a range of publications, from the obscure to the well-known , he surveyed a century of writing in this country on the history of the archives profession, its people, and its institutions, as that history had appeared in monographs and in scholarly journals of state, regional, and national circulation. For all the output, however, Cox concluded that the coverage was uneven in terms of quantity and quality, a "truly lamentable" situation that left us as archivists with virtually everything yet to be known about the history and meaning of what we do.
  • Introduction

    Introduction

    INTRODUCTION ON DECEMBER 7, 1968, Lawrence Henry Gipson celebrated 0his eighty-eighth birthday. An active scholar for the past sixty-five years, Gipson continues to contribute articles and re- views to scholarly journals while completing his life work, The British Einpire before the American Revolution. This historical classic appeared in thirteen volumes published between 1936 and 1967. Two further bibliographical volumes covering printed ma- terials and unpublished manuscripts will appear in 1969 and 1970 bringing to a conclusion a project conceived nearly a half century ago. Certainly these volumes, for which he has received the Loubat Prize, the Bancroft Prize in American History, and the Pulitzer Prize in American History, mark Gipson as one of the master historians of our time. Born in Greeley, Colorado, in 1880, and raised as the son of the local newspaper editor in Caldwell, Idaho; Gipson planned to be a journalist before receiving the opportunity to leave the Uni- versity of Idaho where he had earned an A.B. degree in 1903 and go to Oxford with the first group of Rhodes scholars in 1904. In "Recollections," he relates an early experience at Oxford which determined the future direction of his life. Following the comple- tion of his B.A. degree at Oxford and a brief stint teaching at the College of Idaho, Gipson went to work on the British Empire with Charles McLean Andrews at Yale University from which he received a Ph.D. degree in 1918. Gipson has taught at a number of colleges and universities in- cluding Oxford where he served as Harmsworth Professor in 1951-1952, but most of his years have been spent at Lehigh Uni- versity in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

    PETER GUILDAY March 25, 1884-July 31, 1947

    PETER GUILDAY March 25, 1884-July 31, 1947 Founder of The Catholic Historical Review Corresponding Member of the Academy of American Franciscan History As many readers of The Americas already know, Monsignor Peter Guilday, professor of American church history at The Catholic Univer­ sity of America, died in Washington, D. C, on July 31, 1947, at the age of sixty-three. His passing at the end of a long illness brought a dis­ tinguished career as a scholar and teacher to a close, and silenced the voice of a man who could speak, and did speak, with authority on the history of the Catholic Church in the United States. Monsignor Guilday was clearly the outstanding American historian of his generation trained at the University of Louvain. His doctoral dis­ sertation, the culmination of years of research, appeared in London in 1914 under the title of The English Colleges and Convents in the Cath­ olic Low Countries, 1558-1795. He had hoped to investigate other as­ pects of the history of the Church in the British Isles, but the outbreak of the first World War put an end to his plans, and obliged him in Octo­ ber 1914 to return home. He now accepted an instructorship in Church history at The Catholic University of America, and began at this time the association with our pontifical university which was to last until his death. With the active support of the rector, Thomas J. Shahan, he founded The Catholic His­ torical Review in 1915, and served as its principal editor until his retire­ ment from the editorial board in 1941.

    Curtis Putnam Nettels

    Curtis Putnam Nettels August 25, 1898 — October 19, 1981 Curtis Putnam Nettels, trained at the University of Kansas and the University of Wisconsin, had an active teaching career at the University of Wisconsin and Cornell from 1924 to 1966. From the outset he centered his research and writing in the colonial and early national period and quickly became one of the best and most effective teachers, writers, and critics on seventeenth- and eighteenth-century America. His move to Cornell pushed its Department of History into the front rank of colonial history. Nettels was born in Topeka, Kansas, from old New England stock, as all three of his names suggest. His father was a court stenographer, local politician, and lover of music, as his son became. With the University of Kansas only twenty miles away, it was natural for him to go there for his undergraduate education and equally natural that he should do his graduate work at Wisconsin, which had a very strong American history section. Under the influence of Frank Hodder at Kansas, who had begun his teaching at Cornell University in 1885, and Frederic L. Paxson, the ‘frontier” historian who succeeded Frederick Jackson Turner when he left Wisconsin for Harvard in 1910, and in an atmosphere permeated by the progressivism of Richard Ely, John R. Commons, and Selig Perlman in eonomics; John M. Gaus in government; E. A. Ross in sociology; and, most of all, the LaFollette family, Nettels emerged as a progressive historian, concerned about the problems modern industrialism had created, the ravages that uncontrolled capitalism had done to soil, forests, and water of the West.

Dolan Kenrick-Glennon Seminary Archdiocese of St. Louis Archbishop Gerety Lecture at Seton Hall University, October 15, 1992 "Hence we cheerfully sent one who should represent Our Person..." wrote Pope Leo XII in his encyclical Longinqua Oceani1 to the Church of the United States, January 6, 1895, referring to the appointment of the first apostolic delegate, Archbishop Francesco Satolli, just two years previous. That January 21, 1993, will be the centennial of this event suggested the topic of this year's Archbishop Gerety Lecture, "A Century of Papal Representation in the United States." Thank you for the invitation to be part of this distinguished lecture series. For the record, I have dedicated this meagre effort to the preeminent church historian of the United States, Monsignor John Tracy Ellis, my teacher, mentor and friend who, at 87, is now recuperating from hip surgery in Washington, D.C. May the Lord of Truth whom he has served so diligently be close to him in his recovery. I propose to develop this topic under five points. First, I will treat the way the Holy See approached America prior to Archbishop Satolli's appointment; secondly, I will consider the give-and-take surrounding his nomination in 1893; then will come a staccato-like overview of the comings-and-goings of his 10 successors; fourthly, I will take a look at just what, in general, the delegates have done, offering two examples of their activities; and, finally, I will conclude with a segment on the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the government of the United States.

    Lawrence Henry Gipson's Empire: the Critics

    LAWRENCE HENRY GIPSON'S EMPIRE: THE CRITICS ED. BY WILLIAM G. SHADE X N 1936 Charles McLean Andrews, then the foremost of American Colonial historians, wrote after reading the maanu- script of the first three volumes of Lawrence Henry Gipson's, The British Empire before the American Revolution, "I want to say how highly I value the work in question. It is unique in its scope and thoroughness and in more ways than one is a remarkable production. I had the privilege of reading it in manuscript and recognized at the time the breadth, originality and ripeness of the treatment. There is nothing written on the subject that approaches it in comprehensiveness and artistry of execution. To students of the Anglo-colonial relationship it will be indispensable."' This monumental series, now numbering fourteen volumes with yet another planned, was conceived in the 1920's and the first volumes appeared in 1936 when their author was at an age when most men contemplate retirement rather than moving forward on a project of such magnitude. After over thirty years, the text has been completed and it is clear that the series represents not only the mature consideration of a major topic by a master historian, but as Esmond Wright has put it, "the ne plus ultra of the im- perialist view"2 of the origins of the American Revolution. The "imperialist view" of the American Revolution can be traced back to the Tory historians of the eighteenth century, but is gen- erally associated with that generation of historians in the early twentieth century including Herbert L.

(December 2011) William Francis Collopy, B.A., Iona College; M.L.A., University of St. Thomas Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Harold C. Livesay The dissertation argues that Catholicism’s theology and sacramentalism constituted the foundation of a ministry that from Reconstruction through the 1930s extended the religion’s reach in the U.S. beyond its historical loci of numerical strength and influence to African American communities in the South. The dissertation draws on decrees of the Council of Trent, papal encyclicals, pastoral letters, theological treatises, and Catholic interpretation of Judeo-Christian scripture to demonstrate that the Church’s beliefs manifestly shaped its African American ministry.

C.Caswell); published May 16, 1917; $1.50; three copies, two with the stunning dust jacket, now almost exotic in its rarity, with the front flap reading: “Just as THE HARBOR was the story of a constantly changing life out upon the fringe of the city, along its wharves, among its ships, so the story of Roger Gale’s family pictures the growth of a generation out of the embers of the old in the ceaselessly changing heart of New York. How Roger’s three daughters grew into the maturity of their several lives, each one so different, Mr. Poole tells with strong and compelling beauty, touching with deep, whole-hearted conviction some of the most vital problems of our modern way of living!the home, motherhood, children, the school; all of them seen through the realization, which Roger’s dying wife made clear to him, that whatever life may bring, ‘we will live on in our children’s lives.’ The old Gale house down-town is a little fragment of a past generation existing somehow beneath the towering apartments and office-buildings of the altered city. Roger will be remembered when other figures in modern literature have been forgotten, gazing out of his window at the lights of some near-by dwelling lifting high above his home, thinking
