    Harvey D. Dickerson – Democrat, Elected 22 nd and 25 th Nevada Attorney General Terms: January 3, 1955 – January 4, 1960 January 7, 1963 – January 2, 1967 January 2, 1967 – January 4, 1971 Harvey Denver Dickerson, born on June 3, 1905 in Ely, Nevada, was the first of eight children born to Denver S. Dickerson and Una Reilly, a local teacher in Cherry Creek, Nevada. At the age of 36, Harvey’s father, a member of the Silver-Democrat Party, served as Acting Governor of Nevada from 1908-1911. The Dickersons became the first family to live in the newly-completed Governor’s Mansion in Carson City, and their daughter June was the first child born in the Mansion. In 1909, Governor Denver Dickerson signed the legislation creating Clark County, Nevada. He also worked to restructure state mental hospitals and reform the state prison system. Harvey’s mother, Una, not only was the First Lady of the State of Nevada, she also was a “very capable young lady, possessing marked clerical ability and [who] efficiently filled the position of Minute Clerk in the Nevada Assembly of 1903”, as reported in the Eureka Sentinel on April 23, 1904, the day of Denver & Una’s wedding. From 1925- 1956, Una was the law librarian for the Washoe County Library, and her “reputation for knowing the law is still legend at the Washoe County Library. 1 Harvey Dickerson was educated in Carson City, Nevada schools, while his father was warden of the state prison.2 He attended the University of Nevada in Reno.

  • Browsing Through Bias: the Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies
    Browsing through Bias: The Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies Sara A. Howard and Steven A. Knowlton Abstract The knowledge organization system prepared by the Library of Con- gress (LC) and widely used in academic libraries has some disadvan- tages for researchers in the fields of African American studies and LGBTQIA studies. The interdisciplinary nature of those fields means that browsing in stacks or shelflists organized by LC Classification requires looking in numerous locations. As well, persistent bias in the language used for subject headings, as well as the hierarchy of clas- sification for books in these fields, continues to “other” the peoples and topics that populate these titles. This paper offers tools to help researchers have a holistic view of applicable titles across library shelves and hopes to become part of a larger conversation regarding social responsibility and diversity in the library community.1 Introduction The neat division of knowledge into tidy silos of scholarly disciplines, each with its own section of a knowledge organization system (KOS), has long characterized the efforts of libraries to arrange their collections of books. The KOS most commonly used in American academic libraries is the Li- brary of Congress Classification (LCC). LCC, developed between 1899 and 1903 by James C. M. Hanson and Charles Martel, is based on the work of Charles Ammi Cutter. Cutter devised his “Expansive Classification” to em- body the universe of human knowledge within twenty-seven classes, while Hanson and Martel eventually settled on twenty (Chan 1999, 6–12). Those classes tend to mirror the names of academic departments then prevail- ing in colleges and universities (e.g., Philosophy, History, Medicine, and Agriculture).

However, its roots go back to 1874 with the establishment of the city's first Young Men's Hebrew Association (YMHA). The JCC SF reflects a progressive period in American history that resulted in provision of services and facilities for the underprivileged, and/or for minority ethnic groups. The Jewish Community Center project reflected both national and local efforts to facilitate coordination and effective work among Jewish social, athletic, cultural and charitable organizations by gathering them under one roof. Nationwide the Jewish community was influential in group social work, helping to develop the profession of social workers, and a wide variety of inclusive charitable organizations. In the era spanning 1900 to 1940, Jewish leaders in many American cities promoted the local development of these community centers to serve their communities as a central location for public service organizations, and recreational and social venues. The JCC SF is not closely associated with any specific event in the history of San Francisco or community, nor with any one individual significant to the city, state or nation.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The New Jewish Pioneer: Capital, Land, and Continuity on the US-Mexico Border A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Chicana/o and Central American Studies by Maxwell Ezra Greenberg 2021 © Copyright by Maxwell Ezra Greenberg 2021 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The New Jewish Pioneer: Capital, Land, and Continuity on the US-Mexico Border by Maxwell Ezra Greenberg Doctor of Philosophy in Chicana/o and Central American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2021 Professor Robert Chao Romero, Chair Ethnic Studies epistemologies have been central to the historicization and theorization of the US-Mexico border as an ordering regime that carries out structures of settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and white supremacy. While scholars of Jewish history have explored the connections between colonial borders, transnational economic structures, and Jewish merchants, little is known about the role of Jewish entrepreneurs in the process of modern US-Mexico border formation. This dissertation explores how state, corporate, and military imperatives of US imperialism between the American Southwest and Northern Mexico created the conditions for Jewish inclusion into a white settler class and a model of Jewish continuity beyond Europe since the mid-nineteenth century. To explore the imprint of US settler colonialism on Jewish settlement, inclusion, and continuity, Chapter one reviews how Jews have been historicized as exceptional subjects in the contexts of colonial Mexico and the modern American West. Subsequently, Chapter two utilizes archival sources to reinscribe the Jewish border entrepreneur into the history of capitalist and ii military expansion across the new US imperial frontier.

PREFACE. No country or section during the first decade following the conquest of California, has been more prolific of adventure than our own bright and beautiful land; and to rescue from threatened oblivion the incidents herein related, and either occurring under the personal observation of the author, or related to him on the ground by the actors therein, and to give place on the page of history to the names of brave and worthy men who figured in the stirring events of the times referred to, as well as to portray pioneer life as it then existed, not only among the American pioneers, but also the California Spaniards, the author sends forth his book of Reminiscences, trusting that its many imperfections may be charitably scrutinized by a criticising public, and that the honesty of purpose with which it is written will be duly appreciated.

LXXIX SIXTY YEARS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1853-1913 CONTAINING THE REMINISCENCES OF HARRIS NEWMARK EDITED BY MAURICE H. NEWMARK MARCO R. NEWMARK Every generation enjoys the use of a vast hoard bequeathed to it by antiquity, and transmits that hoard, augmented by fresh acquisitions, to future ages.

NEWMARK v TO THE MEMORY OF MY WIFE v In Memoriam At the hour of high twelve on April the fourth, 1916, the sun shone into a room where lay the temporal abode, for eighty-one years and more, of the spirit of Harris Newmark. On his face still lingered that look of peace which betokens a life worthily used and gently relinquished. Many were the duties allotted him in his pilgrimage splendidly did he accomplish them! Providence permitted him the completion of his final task—a labor of love—but denied him the privilege of seeing it given to the community of his adoption. To him and to her, by whose side he sleeps, may it be both monument and epitaph. Thy will be done! M.
