Jeanne Wier and the Nevada Historical Society, 1904-1950 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We Seek to Be Patient”: Jeanne Wier and the Nevada Historical Society, 1904-1950 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Information Studies by Su Kim Chung 2015 © Copyright 2015 by Su Kim Chung ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “We Seek to Be Patient:” Jeanne Wier and the Nevada Historical Society, 1904-1950 by Su Kim Chung Doctor of Philosophy in Information Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Mary Niles Maack, Chair This dissertation focuses on Jeanne Wier and the years she was active in shaping the Nevada Historical Society (NHS), 1904-1950. It is the story of the institution as it unfolded over four decades, but more broadly, it considers how Wier shaped what Amanda Laugesen has framed as the idea of “public historical culture” in the state of Nevada. This culture not only included the collection of documents and books to provide a basis for research, but also the collection of relics for a museum that sought to be a showplace of Nevada’s history for her citizens. It includes the means by which the NHS performed outreach to make Nevada’s history a viable part of the community through anniversaries and celebrations and its efforts at preserving historic sites. The study considers the tension that arose in Wier’s attempts to have the NHS fulfill these different roles and the challenges that she faced in obtaining financial, governmental and community support for the institution. An important consideration of the ii dissertation is its evaluation of how successful Wier was in achieving the goals of the NHS regarding its mission of developing a historical consciousness within the state and its citizenry. In defining success, the study considers the general volume and frequency of collection donations to the Society as well as the research it supported and the historical papers it published. When possible, the study considers quantitative data such the number of patrons that visited the Society, the number of people attending events and lectures, and the amount of financial support obtained from the legislature and via private funding. Moving beyond numbers, an assessment of her legacy at the NHS must also consider the collections she gathered over the years. Questions of collecting focus and in particular, an exploration of whose history was collected also form part of the study. iii The dissertation of Su Kim Chung is approved.

  • To Have and to Hold Catalog
    r r John and Geraldine Presents LI L L y I TH C C Lilley Museum of Art To Have and To Hold To Have and to Hold The John & Geraldine Lilley Museum of Art is pleased to devote an entire floor of this new facility to sharing our permanent collection with visitors. Installed here is just a fraction of the nearly 5,500 teaching objects The Lilley holds in stewardship for all Nevadans. The visible storage facility on the west wall of this gallery and the works-on-paper study room one floor below will help us share even more of our collection with visitors over the coming years. Many of the objects in The Lilley’s collection came from the homes of local collectors. This long-term exhibition’s title references the recent domestic histories of these objects while also alluding to The Lilley’s special commitment to caring for our collection in perpetuity and in service to the University of Nevada, Reno and the Reno community. We endeavored to make thoughtful decisions that reflect the terms of our institution’s commitment to these objects as we worked to plan this exhibition with patrons, university faculty, staff, students, and additional collaborators. Among the questions we have been asking ourselves: what does making a forever commitment to a work of art involve? How do we keep this figurative marriage alive? Who will help us honor our commitment? Who benefits from the fruits of this union? How do we leverage these objects to inspire wonder, support learning, and expand our understanding of the world? In addition to these questions, we considered the waves of change currently shaping our society and its institutions.

Kosc 2019 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe thanks to a great number of people, both personal and professional, who supported the completion of this project over the past five years. I would first like to acknowledge the work of Stockbridge-Munsee tribal historians who created and maintained the tribal archives at the Arvid E. Miller Library and Museum. Nathalee Kristiansen and Yvette Malone helped me navigate their database and offered instructive conversation during my visit. Tribal Councilman Jeremy Mohawk graciously instructed me in the basics of the Mohican language and assisted in the translation of some Mohican words and phrases. I have also greatly valued my conversations with Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Bonney Hartley whose tireless work to preserve her nation’s history and sacred sites I greatly admire. Numerous curators, archivists, and librarians have assisted me along the way. Sarah Horowitz and Mary Crauderueff at Haverford College’s Quaker and Special Collections helped me locate many documents central to this dissertation’s analysis. I owe a large debt to the Gest Fellowship program at the Quaker and Special Collections for funding my research trip to Philadelphia.
