The 1980 Annual Report of The Cincinnati Historical Society

By almost any standard of measurement, 1980 was a year of impressive growth for The Cincinnati Historical Society. On the threshold of its sesquicentennial CHS exhibited a renewed vitality—a new capacity to meet its obligations and to fulfill its potential. A few statistics suggest the success CHS can claim for the past year. First, membership grew substantially. In 1979, membership expanded from 1,641 to 1,732. In 1980 an additional 300 members joined, bringing the Society's rolls to over 2,000 for the first time in its history.1 Because the Society is heavily dependent on income from memberships to finance its diverse library, publishing, and educational programs, the resulting increase in income provided by this expanding membership contributed to the health of the institution. In fiscal 1978, individual and business memberships contributed $53,000 to the operation of the Society; by fiscal 1980, this sum had grown by nearly 50% to $76,000. Realizing how much more the Society should be doing to care for the collections and to serve the community, the Board has set a goal of $95,000 in membership income for fiscal 1981. Second, library usage by researchers who came in person to use the collections expanded by one-third during the past year, from approximately 5,000 persons in fiscal 1979 to 6,600 for the year ending June 30, 1980. This level of use pushed almost to the limits the capacity of the library staff to provide attention and working space for researchers. That fewer than ten percent of the library users were members of the Historical Society testified at once to the unheralded service provided free of charge to the community- at-large and to opportunities for membership growth that the institution must learn to pursue more vigorously. Moreover, during the past several months, the Society has strengthened the quality of its programs in important respects. This growth has been fa- cilitated through the award of several major grants by the National Endow- ment for the Humanities, a federal agency created less than a generation ago. The Society's first major grant from the NEH enabled CHS to initiate the Cincinnati Neighborhood Studies Project in October 1979. The program is funded through NEH's Library Humanities Program which seeks to make available the resources of humanities collections to adults who are no longer involved in formal educational pursuits. The Endowment believes—as surely the members of the Historical Society must—that people's lives can be en- riched by learning more about history and other humanities. Hence, it es- tablished a program to make the humanities collections of libraries more accessible to people. CHS is seeking to achieve this through the Cincinnati Neighborhood Studies Project. The CNSP permits the professional staff of

269 the Society to reach out to new communities. There, residents learn to use CHS's collections and other resources to document the history of their own neighborhoods and its institutions. In the first year of the program, a wide variety of citizens in a handful of neighborhoods prepared tours, brochures, exhibits, and narrative histories that many of their fellow residents learned from and enjoyed. More detailed information about the first year of the Neighborhood Studies Project is provided later in this report. It was the strength of CHS's collections, combined with the fact that our library is open free of charge to everyone, which made this grant possible. Late in 1980 the grant was renewed for an additional two years. For a total of three years then, CHS will have a special opportunity to acquaint people throughout the metropolitan area with its programs and services. During that time, many people will learn more about their communities while they also learn how historians collect, sift, and weigh information in their effort to understand our past. Perhaps, along the way, some of the people touched by this program will accept a share of the burden for helping the Society collect, care for, and make available the materials that document the history of Greater Cincinnati. In that broadening of appreciation for and support of this institution may be found the real value of the Cincinnati Neighborhood Studies Project and, in a sense, of the NEH's Library Humanities Program. It is a democratic vision and an investment in the future of our institution that may or may not prove valid. It will be several years before anyone can judge. A second illustration of the support this institution is receiving from the NEH occurred in the spring of 1980 when the Society sponsored a series of

On Easter Sunday, 1980 the Neighborhood Studies Project presented its first finished project, a House Tour of Mt. Auburn. His- torians Dottie Lewis and Alden Monroe assisted the Mt. Auburn Community Council in selecting a wide variety of sites and editing their research on the individual houses. Over 300 people bought tickets for the tour. lectures on the theme: "Cincinnati Neighborhood Schools: Past, Present, and Future." The lectures were funded by the Ohio Program in the Humani- ties, a state-based organization that obtains most of its own income from the NEH. The papers prepared for these lectures also constituted the Summer 1980 issue of the Bulletin. The significance of the lectures, however, rests in part in the belief that history is not merely the interesting assemblage of generally forgotten information but, rather, can serve as a tool by which we deal with the present and equip ourselves to confront the future. In the case of the neighborhood schools programs, the lecturers and commentators made clear that our sense of neighborhood schools in the past tends to be erroneous. When people wish the future to be like a mis-remembered past, frustrations develop that correcting the record may help dissipate. As the year drew to a close, a third NEH-sponsored activity became part of CHS's future programming. For the past two years, the NEH has helped fund a Metro History Fair experiment in Chicago that has attempted to extend the experience of science fairs to history. Because the program has been successful there — attracting 6,500 students in 1980 who prepared exhibits, performances, and papers on the history of their "roots" — the NEH provided funds for extending the experiment to two other cities. After the Chicago administrators considered sixty cities and visited six, they selected Cincinnati and Baltimore for the program. The Society is now planning and working towards the sponsorship of a Cincinnati Metro History Fair in the spring of 1982. Finally, in December 1980 the Society announced the award of a $200,000 "challenge grant" from the NEH. This grant is contingent on the Society raising $600,000 in local money through special gifts and new memberships. For the most part, the money that is raised will be placed in the Endowment Fund to permit the Society to instigate an ongoing conservation and preservation program that has been deferred for far too many years. The collections, which have been the backbone of the institution throughout its 150 years, will be the focus of the Sesquicentennial Challenge Grant Fund Drive. Indeed, the collections have also been the basis for the other NEH grants, for the educational programs offered by the institution, and for the publications it has issued. The challenge grant represents creative federalism at its best. Conservation of materials collected by research libraries is a national problem. But, because of the enormous costs attendant to microfilming, deacidification, encapsulation, and other measures, conservation must be a local responsibility. Through the NEH, the federal gov- ernment has offered new help to The Cincinnati Historical Society in its own effort to preserve the documents of our region. Since the library is central to the institution, this year's annual report begins with a review of what has been done with and what has been added to our collections during fiscal 1980.2 THE SCHOOLS University, will be heard on "Public Ele- Series examines mentary Schools in Cincinnati, 1870- their origins 1914."

The March 1980 lecture series on Cincinnati neighborhood schools, sponsored by the Society and funded by the Ohio Program in the Humanities, offered members and others interested in the school system, new insights into the neighborhood school concept and its history in Cincinnati. The Library REFERENCE SERVICE. Growing interest in the history of houses and neighborhoods and the continued popularity of family history contributed to in- creased use of the Society's library. Library registration forms, adopted in January 1979, provided a profile of users and their research topics: 31% sought genealogical information; 25% were students working on class as- signments or graduate degrees dealing with nineteenth and twentieth century politics and social institutions, community history, local artists, or historic building sites; 38% were individuals investigating an historical period, searching for supporting documentation for National Register nomi- nations, or studying the history of cultural organizations or companies.3 Diverse representatives of the business community used the library. The Powell Valve Company, for example, drew heavily upon the collections to produce "The Cincinnati Connection," a film tracing the more than 100 year history of the firm. In addition, architects and designers used copies of old photographs in new buildings; real estate agents and developers provided the historical background of houses or communities for prospective buyers; television, radio, and newspaper reporters included historical information or visual material in regularly scheduled articles and programs and prepared documentary and educational films. PROCESSING. The library seeks to make collections accessible to users by cataloging and indexing. While such work continued with all portions of the collection, this year the photographic negative filing system was changed from a subject to a numerical arrangement. With more than a quarter of a million items to keep track of, the new system should facilitate retrieval and the more exact refiling of negatives. During fiscal 1980, forty-three special collections containing 15,800 direct positives, negatives, and prints and 1,100 film and glass transparencies were processed or reconstructed. The manuscripts department completed preparing finding aids to the papers of fiveleader s of the Charter Party whose organization, or processing, was noted in last year's report. In addition, records of the Urban League of Greater Cincinnati, Hennegan and Company, Gilligan Funeral Home, and Kelly Auto Body Company were opened for research use. The National Urban League, formed in New York City in 1910 with the merger of the Committee for Improving the Industrial Conditions of Negroes, the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, and the National League for the Protection of Colored Women, was concerned with training black social workers and improving race relations. In Cincinnati, the Urban League evolved from the Negro Social Welfare Committee of the Council of Social Agencies, organized in 1919. One of its purposes was "to study the conditions affecting the colored population and to formulate a coordinated program." This remained an objective of the organization through its evolution to the Negro Civic Welfare Association Department NATIONAL Negro Health Week As Observed in Cincinnati, Ohio APRIL 1 TO APRIL 8, 1928 By Agencies Co-operating Through the Negro Civic Welfare Association Department of the Community Chest and Council of Social Agencies

MOTION PICTURE HERALD FEB. 10, 1945 of the Council of Social Agencies (1922-35), the Negro Welfare Division of the Cincinnati Community Chest (193G-48), and the Urban League of Greater Cincinnati (1948- ). The League's records cover the years 1891-1963 and consist of correspondence, reports, publications, and newspaper articles. The collection contains a wealth of information about the black community as well as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Com- munity Action Commission, Cincinnati Community Chest, Community Health and Welfare Council, Ohio Welfare Council, Skills Bank, and the War Bank. The Hennegan Company, Cincinnati lithographers since 1885, at first produced letterheads, bills, and postcards and later lithographed colored, illustrated posters for billboards. At the turn-of-the century the company turned its attention to printing posters ranging in size from window cards to fifteen foot cloth banners for the infant motion picture industry. The company records include some early correspondence and financial reports but primarily consist of promotional material for such film classics as Gone With the Wind, Snow White, David Copperfield, Mutiny on the Bounty, A Tale of Two Cities, King Kong, and Camille. The records of the Gilligan Funeral Home and its predecessors, 1877- 1961, include account, balance, and cash books; inventories; and funeral records. Volunteers helped index this collection which will prove of great value to genealogical researchers as well as to scholars and students re- searching Cincinnati social and urban history. The wagon manufacturing and repair shop partnership, Kelly, Roth and Company, formed in 1907, initially produced custom built wagons and wagon parts. Soon, the growing popularity of the Model-T Ford forced Kelly to build custom designed truck bodies on automobile chassis. Over ninety drawings and specifications and 1,000 related photographs document the company's adaptation of vehicles for commercial use.

The photographs document- ing the Kelly Auto Body Company in the early 1900's have added greatly to the Society's twentieth century photograph collection. It is hoped that others learning of this fine addition will also donate twentieth century photos to the Society.

Although the Society is reluctant to accept deposit collections, in June 1979 the library agreed to house historically useful records of Cincinnati schools closed by the Board of Education. The library accepted documents and memorabilia from seven elementary schools and one junior high school during the summer. Photographs, films, school histories, and P.T.A. records were among the materials received from Madisonville, Kennedy, Bracken Woods, Carll, Fairview, Lincoln, and Oakley elementary schools and Lyon Junior High School. Records of school systems in existence in three communities before their annexation to Cincinnati were part of the accession: minute books of the Board of Education of Enterprise Special School Dis- trict Number 8: Columbia Township (1869-1893), the Board of Educa- tion of Kennedy Heights School District (1908-1913), the Madisonville Vil- lage School District (1900-1911), Madisonville High School and record books of the Athenian Society of Madisonville High School (1888-1906).

I) Andrew Donald- son gave the Society a series of twenty photographs which show the step by step process of stone lithography.

In addition to cataloging 296 new book titles, recataloging thirty-five, and transferring 183 from the general collection to the rare book section, the library processed a collection of books and serials relating to Victorian architecture and decorative arts that the Ohio River Valley Chapter of The Vic- torian Society in America placed on deposit. GIFTS. During the year, 320 donors contributed materials to the library collections. Nearly 1,400 photographic prints and negatives were added this year. Andrew Donaldson gave a group of twenty photographs depicting the process of stone lithography of circus posters at the Donaldson Lithography Company in Newport, Kentucky. Members of the Windisch family donated photographic prints and negatives, albums, and lantern slides spanning the period 1890 to 1925. The collection includes pictures of downtown buildings, construction of Cincinnati's subway, and scenes along the Miami and Erie Canal. L. T. Shields contributed 120 glass plate negatives and twenty- two photographic scenes of Cincinnati and suburban Indian Hill, dating from the early 1900s, and Albert H. Bauer donated eighteen photographs and negatives of the construction of Fort Washington Way and the buildings razed during its construction. The Wulsin family donated oil portraits of Lucien Wulsin and Margaret Hager Wulsin painted by Alfred Jonniaux. Mr. Wulsin, president of the Baldwin Piano Company from 1926 to 1962, was elected a trustee of the Society in 1925 and served as its board president from 1952 until his death in 1964. Mrs. Wulsin was instrumental in founding the Society's Women's Association in 1965. Paintings and printed materials given by the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce included an oil portrait of Griffin Taylor, the Chamber's first president (1839-1840), and an oil painting by Louis C. Vogt of the 1889 Chamber of Commerce building designed by one of America's premier architects, Henry Hobson Richardson.

Fire on Fourth Street, June 1891 The Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) donated fifty-two railroad and property atlases and thirteen sheet maps from the St. Louis, Chicago, Peoria, Cairo, Indianapolis, Whitewater, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Sandusky, and Michigan divisions. Other business records received were newspaper clippings, advertising material, and photographs relating to the Grace Rush Company, donated by John Rush, and the articles of incorporation and minutes of stockholders' and directors' meetings (1916-1970) from the Ralph Jones Advertising Agency. A rare political campaign lantern from the Benjamin Harrison — Levi P. Morton campaign of 1888 and the history volume to the 1973-1977 cumulation of the Comprehensive Dissertation Index were given by Charles Fleischmann. CONSERVATION. A major gift from The First National Bank of Cincinnati funded most of the Society's conservation work during fiscal 1980. Under the terms of an agreement reached in December 1979, the bank consented to pay for the conservation and restoration of nearly 400 artworks which will then become available for display during the next decade in the bank's new center at Fountain Square South. At the outset of the program, many historically important and artistically significant paintings, etchings, and lithographs belonging to the Society were in a disgraceful condition. Years of neglect were evidenced in dirt, tears, broken frames, and lost identifications. Gradually, research into the Society's internal records and library holdings revealed the sources of gifts and the names of nearly forgotten forebears. More remarkable, however, were the discoveries provided by the restorers. Miles Greenwood, who was instrumental in the creation of Cincinnati's professional fire department, revealed a beard. President Franklin Pierce disclosed the signature of G. P. A. Healy. Godfrey Frankenstein's painting of Governor Morrow's Mill dis- played glorious fall colors. Thomas Buchanan Read's youthful self portrait became young again sans tears and dirt. And, riverboat captain Jacob Strader, who had been abandoned inadvertently when the Society moved out of the University of Cincinnati Library several years ago, came home and now boasts a fine red-lined cloak, though not revealing Joseph Oriel Eaton's signature. Moreover, numerous etchings and lithographs on paper have been stabilized chemically and strengthened with rice paper and other physical supports. While the presentation of works of art concerns aesthetics more than conservation, most of the paper and many of the canvases are handsomely, even proudly, matted and framed for the first time. Some examples of items included in CHS's collection are presented in the "Images of Historical Cincinnati" portfolio in this issue of the Bulletin. EXHIBITS. In mid-1979 plans were made with the University of Cincin- nati's College of Design, Architecture and Art and The Contemporary Arts Center to display architectural drawings selected from the Society's large collection. Held at The Contemporary Arts Center from May 16 through June 29, 1980, and sponsored, in part, by the Ohio Arts Council and the Ohio Foundation on the Arts, the exhibition, "Drawn By Cincinnati," featured the work of ten architectural firms in business between 1865 and 1975 includ- ing Samuel Hannaford, James McLaughlin, Harry Hake, and Saarinen & Saarinen. The University's architectural and design students selected sixty- nine drawings from over 10,000 blueprints, drawings, and other architectural documents; planned and installed the exhibit, developed graphics for the exhibit, and prepared a catalogue. The Society's staff supervised the students' use of the collection during the selection process and assisted with research for the catalogue text. At the close of the show, CHS made available forty-nine of the drawings for loan to other Ohio cultural and educational institutions under the auspices of the Statewide Arts Services program of the Ohio Foundation on the Arts.

The architectural drawings selected for the exhibition "Brawn in Cincinnati," featured the work of ten Cincinnati architectural firms in business between 1865 and 1975. The drawings were from the Society's collection of over 10,000 blueprints, drawings, and other architectural documents. The library staff installed theme displays for the monthly lectures and two special exhibits featuring materials from the collections. One special exhibit documented neighborhood history while the other illustrated twentieth century manuscript collections, emphasizing the papers of Charter Committee members Charles P. Taft II, Murray Seasongood, Russell Wilson, Victor E. Heintz, and Henry Bentley. BUILDING RENOVATION. The Society's building no longer provides suffi- cient work areas for regular employees, people hired to implement special and expanded programs, and volunteers. Nor is space available to house adequately our growing collections and to carry out microfilming and conservation programs. To alleviate, if but temporarily, crowded working conditions, first floor office space was renovated and reassigned and three offices

A generous gift by the Reakirt Foundation made this work possible. Plans to relocate the workshop, to add compact storage units for artifacts, and to provide more space for the microfilming program and art collection could not be implemented because funds were not available. However, the photograph room was rearranged and additional shelving installed to store the collection. In response to a plea for a photographic darkroom presented in an exten- sive staff report on the conservation needs of the collection, Trustee Warner A. Peck, Jr. donated equipment, cabinets, and supplies. Dr. Peck's gift made it possible for the Society to begin to meet archival standards in processing photographic negatives and prints and in making film negatives and prints from fragile and rare glass slides and negatives. VOLUNTEERS. Once again, the library's work benefited from the volunteers who spent over 2,400 hours providing reference assistance to users; processing and preparing finding aids for manuscript, newspaper, slide, and photograph collections; indexing publications; inventorying artifacts; and keeping the book collection in order.

Several days each week Eric Van A loyal and faithful volun- Hagen assists the library staff with teer and supporter of CHS, collections maintenance. Pinney Deupree has assisted staff members in the manuscript department, the picture collection, and has done special projects for the library. The Education Program The education program of The Cincinnati Historical Society must deal with an unusual, even a unique, challenge. The collections of the Society are large and rich. They offer the possibility of helping Greater Cincinnatians better understand the history of their family, neighborhood, city, and region. Yet, the normal link between the collections and the public, a museum, has never been available to the institution. In the past, this void has certainly impaired the institution's effectiveness in reaching both students and people out of school. In the last year, however, this situation actually stimulated the creation of a variety of educationally innovative programs that might have been overlooked if the primary focus of the Society's outreach program had been fixed on a museum operation. The most important of these programs is the Cincinnati Neighborhood Studies Project. Through this experimental adult education program, people interested in the history of their local communities develop the skills to research and interpret that history better. Most adult education efforts work on a classroom model which places the professional in a traditional role of the creator of history, and the learners in the comparatively passive role of absorbers of information. The CNSP, however, is grounded in the conviction that people learn best when they are active; in this case, actually "doing history." Those who become active in the program not only gain new information about their community, but also develop certain new skills which can be used in future projects of their own initiative. The Cincinnati Neighborhood Studies Project, though educationally innovative, draws directly on the traditional strengths of the Society and acts as a stimulus to the overall goals of the institution. By assisting those who

NSP administrative assistant, Caleb Deupree, indexed the oral history interviews with leaders in the Black community which Adeline Harris, an indefatigable volunteer, had conducted. A walking tour of Westside, Covington, Kentucky, research and mapped out by John Boh with assistance from Alden Monroe and Dottie Lewis includes fine examples of nineteenth century architecture such as "shotgun" houses, as well as the revitalized Mainstrasse area.

are interested in history but not formally trained in the discipline, the CNSP helps people learn to ask better questions and to examine critically a variety of resource materials. Thus, the Historical Society increases the amount and improves the quality of usage made of materials in its holdings. In addition, the program sensitizes more people in the community to the importance of preserving different types of materials, thus directly augmenting the So- ciety's collections. For example, donations of important materials relating to the history of Price Hill and Mt. Auburn community organizations reaching back to the beginning of the twentieth century have been promised to CHS as a result of the project, and hundreds of new photographs have al- ready been donated. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the project has for the first time placed the oral history collection on solid ground. The CNSP has collected approximately eighty-five tapes. The interviews focus on the recollections of people often overlooked in printed sources, such as the owner of a Norwood tailor shop, the president of a Mt. Auburn block club, and teachers at an important parochial school in Price Hill. That neighborhood volunteers have conducted many of the interviews is par- ticularly important to the people interviewed. The Cincinnati Neighborhood Studies Project contributes to the overall growth of the Society in two other ways as well. First, the program has helped the institution reach out in a constructive and caring way to neighborhoods which have not traditionally been drawn into Historical Society functions. During 1980 the project worked in Norwood, Price Hill, Coving- ton, Mt. Auburn, Anderson Township, and with the Union Baptist Church congregation at Seventh and Central. For many of the participants, this was the first time they realized their insights about living in the city were of historical interest; it was also the first time many had heard of The Cincin- nati Historical Society. Second, CNSP has provided the mechanism to begin building a network of cooperation among all the local historical societies. In October, the first of a series of regular, semi-annual workshops was held at the Society. This initial meeting drew representatives from fourteen local historical societies to discuss the care of manuscripts and photographs, methods for developing the local historical society, and ways of building cooperation in the future. In addition to regular meetings, CHS's Newsletter has been expanded to include information about the activities and concerns of these local organizations. Although primarily concerned about the process of learning by the participants, CNSP generated useful and tangible products as well. The Norwood Historical Society researched and produced a handsome driving tour of their city. The Kenton County Historical Society produced a major study of the transformation of the Covington neighborhood of Wallace Woods from three estates to an urban neighborhood. Members there also researched and wrote a walking tour of West Covington and a study of the businesses of that

A second major undertaking of the education department during 1980 promises to reach a far greater number of people in a very different way. As a result of a pilot television program produced by the Society and WCPO-TV in late 1979 and broadcast in January 1980, The First National Bank of Cincinnati decided to sponsor a six part series on the history of the city. Over the past year, this series was researched, scripted, and produced by CHS and Channel 9. The series, entitled, "Cincinnati," focuses on the dynamic environment of the city during six different chronological periods. The programs describe Cincinnati as a frontier river settlement with promise; as a boom town full of immigrants with dreams of a better life and of boosters with visions of Cincinnati as the most important city in the United States; as a crowded walking city which suddenly was transformed into a geo- graphically expanded city of neighborhoods; as a city buffeted and transformed by national and international events beyond its control; as a city which remained vital in the post World War II era because of the efforts of planners to prepare it for the future and of citizens willing to take a stake in its future; and, finally, as an older metropolitan area trying to remain competitive with rapidly growing "sunbelt" cities by searching for ways to renew and expand its urban core and modernize its governmental structure while retaining the vitality of its neighborhoods and their small town ad- vantages. Because a commercial television station produced the programs and CBS newsman Charles Kuralt narrated them, when the programs air in the spring of 1981, The Cincinnati Historical Society will reach the largest audience it has ever informed about Cincinnati's history at any one time.

In 1980 a pilot T.V. program on Cincinnati's history was shown. Response was so enthusiastic that the First National Bank of Cincinnati decided to sponsor a six part series entitled "Cincinnati" which will be shown in early 1981. In September 1980 NSP conducted a Procter and Gamble archivist, Ed Rider workshop for local historical societies. and historian Alden Monroe techniques Representatives from fourteen local for preserving manuscripts, photographs, societies attended and learned from and historic documents.

The television series enabled the Society to implement the first phase of redefining its traditional relationship to schools in the metropolitan area. The primary goal of this aspect of CHS's education program has become the production of high quality curriculum materials dealing with local history. The television series constituted the first component of that effort. The second component, now in the planning stage, will be to develop printed curriculum materials for instructors who teach local history. Working to incorporate teachers at every stage, these materials will draw heavily on the wealth and variety of primary materials in the collections of the Society. Rather than a traditional textbook, the result should be an exciting and evolving inquiry approach that can teach the student how the historian uses newspapers, diaries, photographs, and oral histories to interpret the experience of past Cincinnatians. The Cincinnati Metro History Fair, another dimension of the education department's developing program, will take the Historical Society into many social studies classrooms by aiding teachers in their efforts to challenge students studying local history. During the past two years, the education department has planned, ex- perimented, worked, and learned. The main outlines of a meaningful program have begun to emerge as its fundamental components have been set in place: The Cincinnati Neighborhood Studies Project provides intensive, personal education for interested adults; the television series brings the sweep of Cincinnati's history to thousands; and the school program will emphasize the development of curriculum materials, with the Metro History Fair encouraging broad participation. Membership Activities Cincinnati Historical Society's members make possible the library and education programs. During 1980 a diverse range of membership activities were offered to stimulate interest in and support for the Society. LECTURE SERIES. Guest lecturers were scheduled for several months during the year with topics encompassing the broad spectrum of local history. Capacity crowds for several lectures attested to the popularity of the lectures. In 1980 the speakers and lecture titles were: January—Gerard and Elizabeth Hilferty, A Couple Designers, Inc., The New Cincinnati Fire Museum. February—Carl B. Westmoreland, Executive Director of Cincinnati Hous- ing Service, The Mt. Auburn Experience. March—Lecture series funded by the Ohio Program in the Humanities, Cincinnati Neighborhood Schools: Past, Present, and Future. April—Mrs. John A. Ruthven, The Restoration of Georgetown, Ohio. September—James B. Powers, Chairman, Social Studies Department, In- dian Hill High School, The Queen City Tour Revised. October—Judith Spraul-Schmidt, Doctoral Candidate in History, Univer- sity of Cincinnati, "Other Beauties of Nature . . .": Cincinnati and Its Zoological Garden, i8jo-igoo. November—Kenneth R. Trapp, Curator of Education, Cincinnati Art Mu- seum, The Pottery Beautiful: Rookwood and the Application of Art to Industry. December—Holiday Musicale, The Mariemont Breakfast Club, Sing the Songs of Christmas. RECITALS. Sunday afternoon recitals in the Hauck Room featured talented young artists affiliated with the College-Conservatory of Music of the Uni- versity of Cincinnati. Cold winter afternoons in January were warmed by the music of flutist Carin Levine and pianist F. Gayle Schmidt. In February, the Society hosted the Queen City Brass Quintet and baritone David Baker. SPECIAL EVENTS. More than three hundred persons gathered at Les Palmiers restaurant in the Cincinnati Union Terminal for a benefit dinner on March 21. An exhibition from the Society's collection of original drawings, lithographs, etchings, and photographs portraying the construction and early years of the train terminal were on display in recognition of the reopening of this National Historic Landmark building. Charleston, South Carolina for the Spoleto, USA festival was the destina- tion of a CHS group in June. Excursion members took private tours of the historic city, dined in picturesque restaurants, and enjoyed several of the festival performances. In October, the Historical Society sponsored a railroad excursion to Wash- ington, D. C. in a private Pullman car. The twenty excursion members toured the Smithsonian Institution's Railroad Hall with John H. White, Jr., Spoleto Festival USA Charleston, South Carolina The Cincinnati Historical Society June 5th - June 9th, 1980 What is Spoleto? The Cincinnati Historical Society makes available this special opportunity for its members to attend the famed Spoleto Festival and tour historic Charleston, South Carolina. Presenting its fourth annual season in Charleston, the world's most comprehensive arts festival again offers an outstanding 17-day celebration of the performing and visual arts. Founded twenty-two years ago by the renowned composer and director Gian Carlo Men- otti, the Spoleto Festival has been held an- The Women's Association nually in Spoleto, Italy. The Charleston hosted a fund-raising dinner and Spoleto seasons combine to realize at Les Palmiers Restaurant in Menotti's original concept of a "Festival of Two Worlds." the recently renovated Union Terminal. A highlight of the dinner was an exhibit of Those who travelled to drawings, etchings, and Charleston, South Carolina photographs of the train for Spoleto U.S.A. thoroughly terminal. enjoyed the festival.

Curator of Transportation, and visited the Capital and Kennedy Center. The Pullman served as the group's "hotel on wheels" while in Washington's Union Station for the five day trip. A busload of CHS members joined a half-day "Basin to Hilltops" tour in December. The pattern of urban development and mobility reflected in the establishment and changing status of such neighborhoods as Covington, Clifton, Corryville, Mt. Auburn, Avondale, East Walnut Hills, St. Bernard, Elmwood Place, Over-the-Rhine, and the West End were explored. The tour traced the emergence of the city from a river oriented basin settlement to a bustling commercial-industrial-residential metropolitan center with residential sectors nestled on the hilltops and suburban fringe, removed from the smoke, congestion—and vitality—of the basin and the industrial valley. Rookwood Art Pottery, an exhibition of pottery, manuscripts, and photographs from Cincinnati collections was assembled by the Society to com- memorate the centennial of Rookwood Pottery. Hundreds of people viewed the exhibit which was open to the public from November 13 through 29, 1980. At a party to preview the exhibit on November 12, more than 130 individuals gathered for a cocktail dinner party followed by Kenneth Trapp's lecture on Rookwood. Guests included descendants of Rookwood artists, local collectors, and Todd Volpe of the Jordan-Volpe Gallery in New York City. The following day Mr. Volpe conducted forty appraisal sessions at the Society with private Rookwood collectors, donating appraisal fees to CHS. On November 25, the Board of Trustees' Business Membership Committee and staff members hosted a reception for business members. Those attend- ing had an opportunity to view the Rookwood exhibition, to see some examples of how the collections may be useful to businesses, and to tour the facilities. In the summer of 1980, James B. Powers researched and routed a new version of the Queen City Tour. The City of Cincinnati, the Greater Cincin-

Edited by the Society, the Chamber will publish the guide which will then be distributed without charge to residents and tourists. WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION. The Women's Association is a volunteer organization from the general membership which seeks to enroll new members in the Society and to assist the staff and board of trustees at special events and in membership activities. During the year the Association hosted all recep- tions following monthly lectures, co-sponsored a CHS sales outlet at Cin- cinnati Union Terminal, assisted at several meetings held at the Society, and helped with direct mailings to prospective members. In addition to their support of CHS library and development staff, the Women's Association conducted an interesting and productive program for its members and guests. Two luncheon-lecture meetings were held. In March, Mrs. John Durrell, Public Relations Assistant, Cincinnati Art Museum, spoke on The Formidable Mrs. Trollope. In October, David Bowen, Assistant Vice President, The First National Bank of Cincinnati, presented The Res- toration of Your Art Collection: A Sneak Preview. Chartered buses took members to Frankfort, Kentucky with Jody Fabe as tour guide in the spring, and to Georgetown, Ohio to visit Judy Ruthven's restoration projects in the fall. The Association donated the proceeds of its annual fundraiser, a lovely "Evening in June at Peterloom," to the Society's general operating fund. The Historical Society's collections continually expand in quantity, broaden and deepen in quality, and support new and greater areas of research. Books, serials, pamphlets, maps, photographs, paintings, and manuscripts demand more space and more care each passing year. Two de- velopments during 1980 hold special promise for the future of the institution. First, the Society committed its energies to raise money through the NEH challenge grant to provide more adequately funded conservation and preservation programs. Second, the Society re-opened its investigation of the feasibility of launching a museum program. In less than twenty years, CHS has filled its more than 26,000 square feet of space. If the institution is to continue "to collect, to preserve, and to render available . . ." information pertaining to Greater Cincinnati, as its constitution pledges, then more adequate space must be created to house its collections and programs. Once the immediacy of this undeniable reality is accepted, consideration must be given to the type of new facility the So- ciety should establish. Inclusion of an exhibition program in these plans seems reasonable to most people. The extensiveness of a history museum program, however, could have such an impact both on the institution and the entire community that decisions about it must be reached only after careful study. But most importantly, this investigation in the Society's 150th year vividly demonstrates the institution's vitality and growing capacity to serve the community in more meaningful ways. Faithful volunteer, Dorothy Babbs, lends able assistance to library patrons in finding needed materials and answering reference questions.
