Finding Aid for Manuscript and Photograph Collections Legacy Finding Aid for Manuscript and Photograph Collections 801 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20001 What are Finding Aids? Finding aids are narrative guides to archival collections created by the repository to describe the contents of the material. They often provide much more detailed information than can be found in individual catalog records. Contents of finding aids often include short biographies or histories, processing notes, information about the size, scope, and material types included in the collection, guidance on how to navigate the collection, and an index to box and folder contents. What are Legacy Finding Aids? The following document is a legacy finding aid – a guide which has not been updated recently. Information may be outdated, such as the Historical Society’s contact information or exact box numbers for contents’ location within the collection. Legacy finding aids are a product of their times; language and terms may not reflect the Historical Society’s commitment to culturally sensitive and anti-racist language. This guide is provided in “as is” condition for immediate use by the public. This file will be replaced with an updated version when available.

Founded in 1894, it serves a diverse audience through its collections, public programs, exhibits, and publications. HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON, D.C. SPECIAL COLLECTIONS FINDING AID Title: MS 581 Dulany Family Papers, 1802-1974 Processor: Michelle A. Krowl Date: March 2001 Bladen Dulany (1793?-1856) born in Alexandria, Virginia. He began his naval career as a midshipman from the District of Columbia in May 1809, serving first on the USS Constellation. Among the ships on which Dulany served were the Erie, Spitfire, Independence, Guerriere, Brandywine, Boston, Java, Cumberland, and St. Lawrence. The St. Lawrence was Dulany’s flagship while commander-in-chief of the Pacific Squadron. Commodore Dulany was detached from the Pacific Squadron in 1855, and died at his home at Mount St. Albans on December 26, 1856. He is buried in Rock Creek Cemetery. Caroline Rebecca Nourse Dulany (1819-1893) was born in Bristol, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Charles Joseph Nourse and Rebecca Morris Nourse, later of “The Highlands” at Mount St. Albans in Washington, D.C. She married Captain (later Commodore) Bladen Dulany in 1845 in Georgetown. She survived her husband and all three of her daughters, and died at “Mount Alban” on July 27, 1893. The Bladen Dulanys had three children: Caroline Rebecca Dulany (1845-1846), Phoebe Pemberton Dulany Chew (1850-1883), and Rosa Morris Romilly Dulany Chew (1852- 1879). Phoebe married Rosa’s widower, Thomas Chew, in 1883, only a few months before her own death. Anthony Morris of Philadelphia was longtime friend of Dolley Madison. He served as United States Minister to Spain, and later held a position at the Treasury Department. His daughter Rebecca (1793-1885) married into the Nourse family in 1816, and resided with her husband, Major Charles Joseph Nourse (1786-1851), at The Highlands. An earlier Anthony Morris (1654-1721) served as Mayor of Philadelphia. Scope and Content: The Dulany Family Papers, 1802-1974 contain correspondence and miscellaneous documents from members of the Chew, Dulany, Morris, and Nourse families, which were connected by marriage. Most prominently represented are Commodore Bladen Dulany and his wife, Caroline Nourse Dulany. The collection includes naval commissions and a letter book belonging to Dulany during his distinguished naval career, and correspondence to and artwork by Caroline Dulany and her female relatives. The earliest document in the collection is a later photostatic copy of 2 an original Joseph Nourse document dated 1790, and thus is not included in the span dates of the collection. This collection is arranged chronologically by family group or document type, with genealogical materials at the beginning of the collection. The Bladen Dulany letter book is stored in Container 2. Donor: Captain and Mrs. Bladen Dulany Claggett, 1991.126 Size: 0.50 cu. ft. (2 containers) Restrictions: none Related Materials: George Washington Letter to Mrs. Daniel Dulany, 1785, MS 500, Historical Society of Washington, D.C. Bladen Dulany Papers, Naval Historical Foundation Collection, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress Dulany, Bladen, Captain, USN, Navy Department Library, Naval Historical Center. 2 LS dated 17 May 1852, Callao, and 19 April 1855, Norfolk. Each addressed to Midshipman Francis M. Ramsay. Grace Dunlop Peter, “Unpublished Letter of Dolley Madison to Anthony Morris Relating to the Nourse Family of the Highlands,” Records of the Columbia Historical Society 44-45 (1944): 215-239. 3 Container List Container 1 Folder 1: Genealogical materials, 1802-1974. Majority of documents are photocopies of newspaper clippings and secondary sources. The Nourse family is most prominently represented, but surnames of Clagett, Stoddert, and Keene also appear. Folder 2: Nourse family papers, 1790-1840, and undated. Contains assorted notes and correspondence to and from the Nourse family. The Joseph Nourse document dating from 1790 is a photostatic copy of an original document, the whereabouts of which are unknown. Folder also contains an undated poem, envelope, and calling card from Rosa Dulany, addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. Nourse.” Folder 3: Morris family papers, 1808-ca.1897, and undated. Contains the cover of journal belonging to Rebecca W. Morris, visa for Anthony Morris to travel to Geneva, Switzerland in 1816, Anthony Morris’ calling card, advertisement for The Morris Family of Philadelphia, and an undated 20th century presentation card. Folder 4: Bladen Dulany papers, 1809-1855. Contains naval commissions and orders (including command of the Pacific Squadron), bond for rent by Beverly Hith, a letter from Fairfax Moresby, invitation acceptance card from Hawaiian Royal Family member Liholiho, and an invitation from the Ward Room officers of the Brandywine to the Dulanys. A letter from Thomas A. Doernin to Secretary of the Navy J. C. Dobbin is included in this folder. Commodore Dulany appears to have been in Hawaii with the Pacific Squadron in the 1850s, and he likely received this copy of the Doernin letter. Folder 5: Miscellaneous documents, ca. early 1800s-1931. Includes ticket to the Winchester Assemblies probably dating from the early 1800s, undated calling cards, newspaper clipping on the “Loss of the Steamer Central America,” envelope from Adams Express Company, and an invitation to the wedding reception of Marie duPont. Folder 6: Chew family letters, 1835-1859, 1933. Three letters written to Priscilla Chew and Bettie Chew. Rosa and Phoebe Dulany both married Thomas Chew, which is likely how the documents came into the Dulany family. File also contains a postcard to Jane Chew from 1933. Folder 7: Caroline R. Nourse Dulany papers, 1843-1892, and undated. Correspondents include First Lady Frances Folsom Cleveland and her mother, Emma Folsom, Enoch Pratt (of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore), and Mary Custis Lee (widow of Robert E. Lee). See also Caroline R. Nourse Dulany paintings in Folder 10. Folder 8: Dolley Madison seal, pre-1849. Madison signature and seal from another document is pasted into a scrapbook page. Reverse side includes clippings of poems. The signature and seal served as franking for mail as the widow of a president, and thus was probably created between 1837 and Mrs. Madison’s death in 1849. 4 Folder 9: Photograph of “The Highlands,”1890. Inscription on reverse of photo also identifies it as “Nannette, Feby 2nd 1891 Mt. Alban.” The house had been built by the Nourses in 1827, and located near the site of the Washington National Cathedral. It was later sold to Admiral Cary Grayson. Folder 10: Artwork, undated. The majority of the original artwork is unsigned, although several pieces bear the name Caroline R. Nourse Dulany. Caroline Dulany’s mother, Rebecca Morris Nourse, and her aunt, Phoebe Morris, were both amateur painters and they may have created some of the watercolors contained in this file. Images are arranged by original artwork and reproduced lithographs. Subjects of original artwork include flowers, houses, Eskimos, and historical scenes. Folder 11: Poetry, undated. Assorted verses of poetry by unknown authors. Container 2 Folder 12: Bladen Dulany letter book, 1836-1846. Letter book kept by Dulany while commander of the U.S. Sloop of War Boston, U.S. Receiving Ship North Carolina, and U.S Frigate Cumberland. Contains copies of orders, circulars, and correspondence regarding the ships, their outfitting, crew, and sailing orders. Rosa Dulany also used the book in the 1860s as a composition tablet in which she practiced her penmanship, wrote poems, and pressed flowers in the pages (plant specimens have been removed). .

Chester, Police Magistrate on Thursday Island in Torres Strait, arrived at Port Moresby on the orders of the Premier' of Queensland, Sir Thomas Mcllwraith. The next morning at 10.00 he formally annexed to Queensland eastern New Guinea and adjacent islands in the name of the British govern­ ment. A stout, bearded, somewhat pompous figure, he was proud of his role in Queensland's attempted annexation, then the high point in his career: almost thirty years in the East India Company Navy and the Queensland Public Service. Chester read his proclamation to the crowd: 200 Motu-Koita people from around Port Moresby, thirteen Europeans (eight of whom were resident in Port Moresby and three were from his ship) and several Polynesian missionary teachers and their wives. The Union Jack was hoisted and £50 of trade goods were distributed to the Papuans. That night the London Missionary Society missionaries gave a banquet to honour the occassion. The toast was "Prosperity to the latest gem added to the British Crown".^ Dr. Clive Moore, Ph.D., B.A., Acting Directorof the Department of Extension Studies in the University of Papua New Guinea, is a native of Mackay (Q.).

The task has been one of research, compilation, and abridgment, of a pleasant nature, undertaken during leisure evenings, after official hours spent in duties and undertakings of a kindred description. Numerous authorities have been consulted, and in some important instances, freely borrowed from ; amongst which, may be mentioned, former numbers of the Nautical Magazine, the Journals of the Royal Geographical Society, published accounts of voyages, personal memoirs, hydrographic works, the Naval Chronicle, Marshall, and O'Bymes Naval Biographies, &c.

  • 171 Saiyid Sa'id Bin Sultan Al Bu Sa'idi of Oman (1791-1856) And
    ARAM, 11-12 (1999-2000), 171-180 B. NICOLINI 171 SAIYID SA'ID BIN SULTAN AL BU SA'IDI OF OMAN (1791-1856) AND HIS RELATIONSHIPS WITH EUROPE BEATRICE NICOLINI During the first half of the 19th century Saiyid Sa’id bin Sultan Al Bu Sa’idi (1791-1856) – a revolutionary merchant-prince of Maskat and Zanzibar – cre- ated in the western Indian Ocean a great and powerful mercantile empire. The aim of this paper is to investigate, through a brief examination of the relationships between Saiyid Sa’id bin Sultan Al Bu-Sa’idi and Europe, whether he really was a revolutionary merchant-prince or if he was simply a pawn within the framework of European rivalries in the Oriental seas. The following portrait of Saiyid Sa’id bin Sultan Al Bu-Sa’idi brings about a revision of the role effectively played by this Arab prince in his relationships with European powers. When Saiyid Sa’id bin Sultan Al Bu-Sa’idi rose to power in Maskat in 1806, he was fifteen years old; he had few friends and many enemies; the prosperity built by his father had ended; and he soon understood that the only possible asset for himself and for his country was the sea.1 He soon revealed himself to be a keen minded and clever sovereign; in fact, Saiyid Sa’id bin Sultan Al Bu-Sa’idi immediately saw the importance of the expansion of the African trade; he also considered important the creation of an Omani merchant fleet for patrolling the African trading ports.

  • The Role of Africans & Arabs Sailors in the Royal Navy Within the Indian
    Black Liberators: The Role of Africans & Arabs sailors in the Royal Navy within the Indian Ocean 1841-1941. Clifford Pereira, Geographical Society, London, United Kingdom The study of linguistics indicates that the Swahili culture spread from the Bajuni islands along the Kenyan coast northwards and southwards, perhaps using the Mtepe sewn boats. Archaeologists suggest that this migration may have included a people who were at least partly Moslem. Aided by the monsoon winds, various peoples have been traversing the Indian Ocean since antiquity. The intra-Asian trade had included slaves prior to the arrival of the Europeans. Africans on Arab and Indian vessels included freeman as well as slaves. Commercial and cultural contacts across the Indian Ocean gave rise to a number of major maritime- based cultures along the Indian Ocean littoral. These included the Bajau or Sea-Gypsies of Indonesia and the Swahili from East Africa – both of which have resulted in languages (Bahasa Malay/Indonesia and Kiswahili) that have thrived under the subsequent European colonial rule to become the essential basis for national and regional identities. There are few studies on the role of Africans in the fleets of the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French or the British as well as on their role in other European navies. The use of British census records in this area of study is rare and has its restrictions. Census returns do not provide total coverage. British Census recordings at ten-year intervals, offer a demographic “window” at the start of each decade. The census returns utilised for this paper are those published in the years 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1901.

  • Verisimilitude in the Imaginary Exploration of Interior New Guinea, 1725–1876
    Chapter 8 The Art of Encounter: Verisimilitude in the Imaginary Exploration of Interior New Guinea, 1725–1876 Chris Ballard Jamais au Spectateur n'offrez rien d'incroyable. Le Vrai peut quelquefois n'estre pas vraisemblable. (L'Art poétique, Boileau, III.47±8)1 Encounters, Factual and Fictional There is an enduring paradox in the art of writing about cross-cultural encounters: in trying to convey something of the alterity or strangeness of an encounter, writers invariably fall back upon a limited range of entirely familiar conventions, shared understandings that enable them to convey the meaning of the encounter to a like-minded or like-cultured audience. In order to be represented, difference must first be recognisable (Fothergill 1994, 40). Consequently, as Stephen Greenblatt proposes, Western narratives of encounter with native others often tell us less about those native others than they do about Western practices of representation (1991, 7): Travellers do not simply record what they see. They travel with a purpose. They journey with preconceptions. They observe and write according to established models, having these in mind even when they wish to query or depart from them (Youngs 1994, 209). Bronwen Douglas and others have argued for the importance, and demonstrated the viability, of recovering indigenous or subaltern presence from Western texts, but our ability to attempt this sort of reading must be predicated on some prior understanding of the structured quality of these texts (Douglas 1998, and this volume; Beer 1996, 325; Guha 1983). Access to ethnographic insight and indigenous agency in these texts requires a form of reading that remains alert to the mediating effects of these representational conventions, and an acknowledgement that they are not ªeasily corrected forº (Greenblatt 1991, 7).
