  • Robert Morris: Lawyer & Activist
    1 ROBERT MORRIS: LAWYER & ACTIVIST Boston College Law Library Daniel R. Coquillette Rare Book Room SPRING 2017 Curated by: Mary Sarah Bilder, Founders Professor of Law Laurel Davis, Curator of Rare Books 3 We would like to offer a special thanks to everyone at Boston College’s John J. Burns Library for their support of this exhibit and for the loan of almost three dozen titles. In particular, a huge thank you goes to Christian Dupont, Katherine Fox, Shelley Barber, and, last but certainly not least, Barbara Adams Hebard, for her conservation work, advice, and generous help in mounting some of the more fragile items. Also, about two years ago, Barbara encouraged her lab assistant at the time, James Heffernan (BC, Class of 2015), to explore and write about the Morris collection at the Burns Library. It was through James’s wonderful blog post that we discovered the collection. We also are deeply thankful for the Boston Athenaeum’s willingness to loan us items from the Robert Morris papers. Curator Stanley Cushing was an encouraging shepherd for that loan, and the exhibit is richer for it. As always, many thanks to all of our colleagues and supporters in the BC Law Library. Much gratitude in particular to Lily Olson, Access Services Librarian, for her extraordinary work on the catalog cover, as well as the exhibit bookmark and webpage. We would also like to thank Ritika Bhakhri (BC Law, Class of 2018) and Lauren Koster (BC Law, Class of 2019) for their research assistance. Additionally, we are very grateful to our friends at the Social Law Library for sharing the image of Morris used in the exhibit and catalog.

  • Irish-American Identity: Personal Experience and Historical Evaluation
    Asix Irish-American Identity: Personal Experience and Historical Evaluation he role of the Irish immigrant in California and the San Francisco Bay Area has been subject Tto review and interpretation ever since the Reverend Hugh Quigley wrote The Irish Race in Cali - fornia and on the Pacific Coast more than a century and a quarter ago. The tone that pervaded Quigley’s chronicle—one of promise and optimism—still finds echoes, albeit with critical insight and far greater nuance, in the last essays of this collection. Two California scholars discuss the Irish-American expe - rience in reflections that are drawn both from their personal histories as native San Franciscans and from their lifelong careers as academic historians. In the first essay, Kevin Starr, until recently Cali - fornia State Librarian, offers an autobiographical reflection on his early years in San Francisco, his gradual awareness of his own Irish heritage, and the evolution of his intellectual appreciation of the Irish experience in California. In the second essay, James P. Walsh provides a comprehensive sum - mary analysis of that experience. The son of Irish immigrants, his critique is informed by his own family history in San Francisco as well as four decades of research on the California Irish. The essay draws a clear distinction between the San Francisco pattern of openness, acceptance, and relative prosperity and the stereotypical portrayal of the Irish experience in the East. Despite the inventive - ness and exaggerations of Father Quigley’s 1878 chronicle, these favorable San Francisco Bay Area conditions make understandable Quigley’s enthusiastic observation that the Irish who pitched their tents in California rarely, if ever, returned to the East.
