Early in his career, Monroe served as the first news director for NBC affiliate WDSU-TV in New Orleans where he helped pioneer standards for broadcast journalism. Among the prominent issues he covered were the Emmett Till case (1955) and the desegregation of New Orleans schools by Ruby Bridges (1960). Monroe's team at WDSU-TV won a George Foster Peabody Award in 1959.<br /><br />An advocate for greater press access to courtrooms and legislative chambers and a leader in the transition from print to visual media, Monroe served as Washington bureau chief for NBC and frequently reported for The Today Show, for which he won a Peabody in 1973. From 1975 - 1984, he was the executive producer and fourth moderator of the NBC public affairs program Meet the Press. Monroe retired from NBC in 1986 but subsequently held several other jobs, including ombudsman for Stars and Stripes, the media platform serving the U.S. military overseas. Dedicated to New Orleans and his alma mater, Monroe served on the Tulane University Board of Administrators from 1972 - 1982.<br /><br />Monroe’s papers will interest students and scholars from a wide range of fields including New Orleans history, journalism history, electronic media, global media, political communication, and the relationship between media and politics. These papers are an example of how Tulane and New Orleans helped shape the modern media landscape.<br /><br />“I’m delighted to preserve these papers at TUSC because of Monroe’s close ties to Tulane University and New Orleans. He made significant contributions to our city and cherished his connection to Tulane University throughout his life, especially by serving on the university’s Board of Administrators,” says Leon Miller, Curator of Louisiana Research Collections at TUSC.<br /><br />Visit the TUSC website at <a href="http://library.tulane.edu/tusc">library.tulane.edu/tusc</a>, or email <a href="mailto:specialcollections@tulane.edu">specialcollections@tulane.edu</a> for research inquiries and comments.

Robert Bradley, Thomas A. Dorsey, Sallie Martin, and Albertina Walker; and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Studs Turkel. These interviews were conducted by Jackson’s biographer and New Orleans States-Item journalist Laurraine Goreau as part of her research for her 1975 authorized biography of Jackson, Just Mahalia, Baby: The Mahalia Jackson Story.<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d8uRL4vTiMw/YV8frGdMdCI/AAAAAAAABFQ/xNVubrUp5ug-TSb5vImJnjtbVMJ9bW8LwCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/Mahalia.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d8uRL4vTiMw/YV8frGdMdCI/AAAAAAAABFQ/xNVubrUp5ug-TSb5vImJnjtbVMJ9bW8LwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Mahalia.png" width="320" /></a></div>“I’m astounded by the range of interview subjects and topics that Goreau covered. There are even live music excerpts that she captured, such as Mahalia Jackson singing impromptu acapella verses of ‘His Eye is on the Sparrow’ at a 1971 press conference in Tokyo,” says Melissa A. Weber, Curator of the Hogan Archive of New Orleans Music and New Orleans Jazz. <br /><br />CLIR funding also enabled digitization of interviews conducted in the 1980s by historian Lynn Abbott for his 2013 book, To Do This, You Must Know How: Music Pedagogy in the Black Gospel Quartet Tradition, co-authored by Doug Seroff. <a href="https://digitallibrary.tulane.edu/islandora/object/tulane%3Aabbott?sort=fgs_label_ss%20asc&islandora_solr_search_navigation=0">The Lynn Abbott interviews</a> feature Black gospel quartet singers and practitioners in the South who both predated and assisted Jackson’s international success. This includes gospel performers such as Mary Thames Coleman, Reverend Paul Exkano, and Bessie Griffin; and New Orleans blues and rhythm & blues artists such as Chuck Carbo and Snooks Eaglin.<br /><br />“Knowing that people around the world now have access to these recordings, many of which have not been heard for decades, is very exciting,” says, Jillian Cuellar, director of Tulane University Special Collections. “Hearing intimate recollections of Jackson and her musical antecedents firsthand personalizes history for the listener, giving them the opportunity to interpret these stories without mediation.”<br /><br />For more information about these collections, contact Melissa A.

Ten years ago, the Louisiana Research Collection at Tulane University <a href="http://manuscriptstulane.blogspot.com/2010/02/william-craft-brumfield-papers.html" target="_blank">launched an archival collection</a> of material related to the work of William Craft Brumfield, author, photographer, Professor of Slavic Studies, and Sizeler Professor of Jewish Studies at Tulane university. Now the archive has been substantially expanded by Brumfield’s donation of correspondence related to a number of his book projects.<br />
<br />
Arriving at Tulane for the 1981 fall semester after an assistant professorship at Harvard University, Brumfield was in fact returning to his alma mater (BA in Russian, 1966). Since coming to Tulane, Brumfield has published a series of books and created publicly accessible visual resources (including archival sites at the National Gallery of Art and the Library of Congress) that have carried Tulane University's name around the world. More information on Professor Brumfield’s work can be found in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Craft_Brumfield" target="_blank">Wikipedia, here</a>.<br />
<br />
Of particular interest in the LaRC Brumfield papers is material (typescript, editorial correspondence, galley proofs, reviews, etc,) related to his first book, <i>Gold in Azure: One Thousand Years of Russian Architecture</i>, published by David R. Godine in 1983. Located in Boston’s Back Bay, Godine is a small but distinguished press focusing on literature and the fine arts. Godine’s original concept was to publish a book of Brumfield’s stunning photographs of Russian architecture in advance of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games. With the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the US boycott of the Moscow Olympics, it was decided to transform the project into a comprehensive history of Russian architecture from its origins in the late 10th century to the late Soviet period—all illustrated with the author’s photographs.<br />
<br />
The appearance of <i>Gold in Azure</i> in October 1983 was widely noted in the US and Europe in publications such as <i>The New York Times</i> and the <i>Times Literary Supplement</i> (a full-page review by James H. Billington, future Librarian of Congress). As the first substantive survey (based on historical research and field documentation) in any western language, <i>Gold in Azure</i> not only appealed to the general public with its visual component but also did much to establish Russian architecture as a field for academic inquiry. The Louisiana Research Collection is proud to have original documents related to this pioneering work.<br />

Professor Brumfield has also donated materials related to the four books that he published with Cambridge University Press: <i>Reshaping Russian Architecture: Western technology</i>,<i> utopian dreams</i> (1990. edited volume); <i>Christianity and the Arts in Russia</i> (1991, edited volume); <i>Russian Housing in the Modern Age: Design and Social History</i> (1993, edited volume); and the standard work <i>A History of Russian Architecture</i> (1993).<br />

“In addition to acquiring and making accessible information about Louisiana, Tulane University Special Collections has a special mission to preserve the papers of prominent Tulane faculty,” said Leon Miller, Curator of the Louisiana Research Collection. “Few members of the Tulane community have achieved the international renown of Professor William Brumfield, and we are delighted and honored to be entrusted with preserving his legacy.” Room 202http://www.blogger.com/profile/12277844959267478915noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880454777526588604.post-6712653010171972322019-12-12T14:02:00.000-08:002019-12-13T08:30:25.274-08:00Special Collections Receives Parkway Partners Records<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Special Collections is honored to have been selected by Parkway Partners as the permanent home for its records.<br />
<br />
In response to massive budget cuts to the City of New Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways, in 1982 Flo Schornstein, the department’s director, created Parkway Partners as a volunteer support group. The 501(c)(3) organization was dedicated to improving the quality of life in New Orleans through the preservation, maintenance, and beautification of neutral grounds, green spaces, playgrounds, parks, community gardens, and the urban forest. As a public/private partnership with the City’s Department of Parks and Parkways, it became a national model for similar public/private partnerships throughout the country.<br />
<br />
Parkway Partners began work with an “adopt a neutral ground” program. Its projects eventually grew to include a “2nd Saturday” workshop on gardening; “Tree Troopers,” a program to educate New Orleanians on trees and the city’s urban forest; seed libraries that offered free seeds to community gardens, urban farms, and local gardeners; support to over a hundred community gardens, urban farms, and orchards; and “Save Our Trees,” a tree care service that sought to protect New Orleans’ urban canopy. In 2012, Parkway Partners announced a project to plant 10,000 trees around the city.<br />
<br />
In late 2019, Parkway Partners ceased operations with two final urban canopy projects: providing trees for planting along two historic New Orleans locations, the Broad Street corridor and Armstrong Park. Its lasting legacy is laying a foundation for vibrant and environmentally responsible New Orleans economic development, creating a raised awareness of green education, and providing a model for similar public/private partnerships that are now flourishing across the country.<br />

“Tulane University Special Collections (TUSC) is honored to have been chosen by Parkway Partners to preserve its legacy,” said Leon Miller, Curator. “Documenting Louisiana's environment is a special mission of TUSC. Parkway Partners' records not only preserve the history of a pioneering environmental organization but will also inform future urban greenspace projects and support research in a range of areas, including city planning, public/private partnerships, and citizen-driven environmental initiatives.”Room 202http://www.blogger.com/profile/12277844959267478915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880454777526588604.post-33850967094099403452019-11-05T08:22:00.001-08:002019-11-05T08:50:52.603-08:00New Tulane Libraries Collaborative Exhibit<div style="text-align: left;">

Arthur Hardy, a premiere authority on Mardi Gras in New Orleans, has donated to Tulane University Special Collections (TUSC) Carnival ball invitations and programs for more than eighty krewes. Ranging from Achaeans to Zeus, the donation is a major addition to TUSC's Carnival collection.<br />
<br />
Tulane University Special Collections preserves one of the world’s largest Carnival collections with materials documenting more than 300 krewes. “Arthur’s donation is a tremendous help in making our collection more complete,” said Leon Miller, curator of the Louisiana Research Collection. “In particular, the donation’s focus on smaller krewes, neighborhood krewes, and krewes that were only briefly in existence will be invaluable in helping scholars extend Carnival research to broad facets of New Orleans society and culture.”<br />
<br />
Included in Hardy’s donation are programs and invitations from fifteen LGBTQ krewes. “Materials from these krewes are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain,” said Hardy.<br />
<br />
In addition to krewe invitations, programs, dance cards, and call out cards, TUSC preserves one of the world’s larger collections of original carnival float and costume designs, including possibly the largest collection of pre-WWII designs in the world. They are stunningly beautiful and TUSC has put almost 6,000 of them online here:<br />

<br />
Please help us preserve the history and heritage of Carnival in Louisiana by saving and donating to Tulane University Special Collections any Carnival materials you may acquire. In addition to invitations and programs, TUSC also preserves krewe minutes, committee reports, forms, membership rosters, and more.

On October 11, 1886, Josephine Louise Newcomb wrote to the Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund donating $100,000 for use in establishing the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College.<br />
<br />
In celebration of this day, 133 years ago, Susan Tucker and Beth Willinger, editors, are <a href="https://josephinelouisenewcombletters.tulane.edu/" target="_blank">launching a website</a> to recognize the importance of Josephine Louise Newcomb’s letter writing and contribution to women’s higher education. <br />
<br />
<h3>
<a href="https://josephinelouisenewcombletters.tulane.edu/" target="_blank">The Letters of Josephine Louise Newcomb</a></h3>
<br />
The website provides direct access to more than 130 of her letters (transcribed here for the first time) and indirect access to 350 more, thus encouraging others to interpret her life and contributions more fully and with greater fidelity to her own vision.<br />
<br />
Many of the letters are from the Louisiana Research Collection’s McConnell family papers (LaRC1156) and Schmidt Family Papers (LaRC-207).<br />

Thomas B. Lemann of New Orleans has donated the papers of his father, noted attorney Monte Lemann, to the Tulane University Louisiana Research Collection. Montefiore Mordecai Lemann (1884 - 1959) was a nationally prominent New Orleans attorney who, among his many significant accomplishments, helped modernize Louisiana law, supported good government initiatives, and promoted legal aid.<br /><br />Lemann was born in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, the son of Bernard and Harriet Friedheim Lemann. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Tulane University in 1902 and a second BA from Harvard in 1903. He then graduated with honors from Harvard Law School in 1906 while also receiving a law degree from Tulane University in 1907.<br /><br />Lemann returned to New Orleans to join the law firm of Saunders and Gurley. In 1909 he made partner (with the firm becoming Hall, Monroe and Lemann; it became Monroe and Lemann in 1922) and joined the Tulane Law School faculty. From its inception until his death, Lemann served as Chair of the Board of Advisory Editors of the Tulane Law Review Association. In his honor, the Tulane Law School created the Monte M. Lemann Distinguished Teaching Award, which it still presents.<br /><br />In 1929 Lemann served as president of the Louisiana Bar Association. That same year, President Herbert Hoover appointed him to the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement (known unofficially as the Wickersham Commission) established to survey the U.S. criminal justice system under Prohibition. The Commission's report recommended more aggressive law enforcement. Lemann, the youngest member of the commission, refused to sign the report and issued his own, separate opinion, declaring that there was "no alternative but repeal of the [Eighteenth] Amendment."<br /><br />As a leader of the Louisiana State Law Institute, Lemann played a central role in modernizing Louisiana legal procedures. His special concern for legal aid led him to be a director of both the New Orleans and National Legal Aid Societies, and he was a staunch defender of merit civil service law during its formative years in Louisiana. To this day, the Louisiana Civil Service League presents the Monte M. Lemann Award to individuals outside the classified civil service system who have made major contributions to the advancement of the merit system of public employment in Louisiana.<br /><br />Personal circumstances compelled him to decline President Roosevelt's offer of a seat on the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.<br /><br />Lemann's correspondence reflects his active interest in national legal and political issues. His papers preserve extensive correspondence with his life-long friend U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter. Active socially, Lemann belonged to the Harvard Club of Louisiana, the Round Table Club, the Country Club, and the West End Club. He also had an interest in in corporate administration, serving as director of the Chalmette Petroleum Corporation, the Louisiana Oxygen Company, the Phoenix Development Company, the Louisiana State Rice Milling Company, the Hunter Canal Company, and others.<br /><br />In addition to the papers of Monte M. Lemann, the Louisiana Research Collection serves as the larger Lemann Family archives. That includes the papers of the Lemann Family of Donaldsonville and the records of several companies they owned such as the Lemann Company, B. Lemann & Brothers, the Donaldsonville Ice Company, Belle Terre Incorporated, Ascension Hook & Ladder Company, the Palo Alto Company, and the Hotel Donaldson Company. The papers also include the diaries of Bernard Lemann (1841-1899), who was Monte Lemann's father, Jacob Lemann (1809-1877), his grandfather.<br /><br />The Louisiana Research Collection also serves as the archives for the Jewish community of the Greater New Orleans area. The Lemann Family was an important part of Congregation Bikur Cholim, which worshipped in the second oldest synagogue building in the state in Donaldsonville. And, the Louisiana Research Collection specializes in preserving the social welfare heritage of our state, as reflected by Lemann's interest in legal aid and his position as trustee of the Child Welfare Society.<br /><br />Room 202http://www.blogger.com/profile/12277844959267478915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880454777526588604.post-23410971417703861492019-06-06T12:25:00.001-07:002019-06-06T12:25:46.088-07:00Scrapbook of Yellow Fever Pioneer<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

Ames (1870- 1914) was a New Orleans physician and yellow fever expert.<br /><br />A graduate of the Tulane Medical Department (1890), Ames served as an ambulance student at Charity Hospital and assistant house surgeon at Hotel Dieu. He was associated with the United State Public Health Service in New Orleans and served as a surgeon during the Spanish-American War.<br /><br />Ames believed that yellow fever was not contagious and that the disease was transmitted by mosquitoes. He served as a contract surgeon with Major Walter Reed during the famous yellow fever experiments in Cuba at Camp Lazar, where he contracted the disease during his service. Dr. Ames was 44 years old when he died on November 15, 1914, at Port Barrios, Guatemala.<br /><br />The scrapbook documents his travels to Hawaii, the Philippines, China, Japan, and Cuba. Most of the images are commercial photographs sold to tourists but are often heavily annotated by Ames with his recollections and reflections.<br /><br />Mr. Hero donated the scrapbook in memory of his wife, Danella Primeaux Hero.Room 202http://www.blogger.com/profile/12277844959267478915noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880454777526588604.post-43278981065969844202019-01-28T10:14:00.000-08:002019-01-28T10:14:41.042-08:00Union soldier diary online<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Please remember LaRC in your end-of-year giving. When the Louisiana Research Collection agrees to preserve something, we make a commitment to preserve it permanently. "Permanently" means "forever," and forever is expensive. We therefore depend on gifts to support many of our special projects.<br /><br />Because they provide reliable ongoing support, our greatest need is for endowed funds and positions. Named funds offer a tremendous opportunity to honor someone in a permanent and prestigious manner. For more information, please contact Leon Miller, Louisiana Research Collection, <a href="mailto:lmiller@tulane.edu">lmiller@tulane.edu</a>, 504-314-7833.<br /><br />You can also give to the Louisiana Research Collection easily and conveniently by credit card at <b><a href="http://larc.tulane.edu/giving">larc.tulane.edu/giving</a></b>. To learn more about LaRC and how you can help, visit our <a href="http://larc.tulane.edu/" target="_blank">website </a>or view our new <a href="https://issuu.com/tulaneuniversity/docs/larc.book_08-02-17" target="_blank">online brochure</a>.<br />

<ul>
<li><b>Louis Bernard</b> donated four binders of photographs documenting the French Quarter and the LGBTQ community in New Orleans in the late 1980s.

The Louisiana Research Collection’s newest online collection is <b><a href="https://digitallibrary.tulane.edu/islandora/object/tulane:riddell" target="_blank">the papers of John Leonard Riddell</a></b>. Riddell (February 20, 1807 – October 7, 1865) was a science lecturer, botanist, geologist, medical doctor, chemist, microscopist, numismatist, politician, and history’s first science fiction author.<br /><br />Riddell was born in Leyden, Massachusetts, February 20, 1807. In 1835 he was appointed professor of chemistry and botany at Cincinnati Medical College and published his "Synopsis of the Flora of the Western States." He received his medical degree in 1836 from Cincinnati Medical College.<br /><br />From 1836 until his death in 1865, he was Professor of Chemistry at the Medical College of Louisiana (now Tulane University) in New Orleans. While there, he invented the first practical binocular microscope. In 1850, he undertook one of the earliest and most extensive American microscopic investigations of cholera. While he continued working at the Medical College of Louisiana throughout the rest of his life, he also served as smelter and refiner at the U.S. Mint, a member of the River Control Commission, and a member of the Board of Inquiry into causes of yellow fever. He was also appointed Postmaster of New Orleans, a position he held even during the Civil War despite Confederate appointments intended to displace him.<br /><br />Riddell is also generally acknowledged to have published the first science fiction story, <i>Orrin Lindsay's Plan of Aerial Navigation, with a Narrative of his Explorations in the Higher Regions of the Atmosphere, and his Wonderful Voyage Round the Moon!</i> (1847). It contained a detailed description of the building of a metal balloon that took Lindsay to the moon and back, as well as a description of the principles of anti-gravity that propelled the craft.Room 202http://www.blogger.com/profile/12277844959267478915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880454777526588604.post-81698511014682895792018-09-06T09:39:00.001-07:002018-09-07T12:08:55.757-07:00Segregation in the Field of Public and Private Law<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The firm’s founder, Joseph Merrick Jones, Jr. (who was also President of the Board of Administrators of Tulane University), asked Campbell to work on a private, secret project reporting only to him. That project led to Campbell’s report, “Segregation in the Field of Public and Private Law—Status of the Tulane University of Louisiana,” which he delivered on September 4, 1959. The sixty-page report covered a wide swath of research into desegregation law, including areas to which it applied (jury cases, housing, the right to vote, restrictive covenants, labor unions, etc.), the Fourteenth Amendment, whether Tulane University was a private or public corporation, and laws and cases pertaining to Tulane. Campbell went on to graduate first in his class from Tulane Law School and earn a doctorate in law from Oxford University.<br />
<br />
Attorney, historic preservationist, and environmentalist, David Lee Campbell was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1936 and spent his formative years in Fort Worth, Texas and Morocco. After receiving his BA from North Texas State University and his law degree from Tulane University, Campbell, a Marshall Scholar, earned his D. Phil. in law from Oxford University in 1963. He began his legal career with Lemle Kelleher, branched off to open the Law Offices of David Campbell, and eventually moved to Deutsch, Kerrigan, & Stiles. He was named "Outstanding Young Lawyer of Louisiana" in 1975. The Young Leadership Council named him a New Orleans "Role Model" in 1995.<br />
<br />
Campbell’s environmental concerns led him to found the Little Tchefuncte River Association. As a historic preservationist, Campbell founded the Peniston-Gen Taylor Association to successfully stop the Mississippi River Bridge at Napoleon Avenue and then the proposed Riverfront Expressway. A past president of the Preservation Resource Center and the Louisiana Landmarks Society, in 2016 he received the Harnett T. Kane Award from the Louisiana Landmarks Society for significant lifetime contributions to historic preservation. He published his memoir, “A Double Life,” in 2016 and a book of poetry, “Nature all Around Us,” in 2017.<br />

Map, "Battle of New Orleans For Freedom September 14, 1874." Compiled by T.S. Hardee, C.E. / Lith. and Pub. by H. Lewis, 22 St. Charles St. New Orleans: H. Lewis, 1874. Lithograph, 18 ¼”h x 23 ¼”w at neat line plus margins.<br /><br />A dramatic and extremely rare plan of the 1874 White League Revolt in New Orleans, published within weeks of the events depicted.<br /><br />In 1874 anti-Reconstruction forces established the White League, a military force of some 1500 white males, organized into companies, well trained, and armed with surplus weapons from the Civil War. On September 14, the government seized the steamboat Mississippi, which carried a covert shipment of arms for the White League. In response, companies of White Leaguers established barricades along Poydras Street, then advanced on Metropolitan Police units emplaced along Canal Street from the Custom House to the River. The Metropolitans were quickly routed and retreated to the Jackson Square Station, where they were surrounded and surrendered the next day. President Ulysses Grant immediately ordered Federal troops to retake the city and the White League surrendered within days.<br /><br />This pro-White League plan by New Orleans City Surveyor T.S. Hardee must have been published in late 1874, within weeks of the battle. It depicts the heart of the city from Delord Street downriver to Ursuline and inland as far as Baronne and Dauphine, including the street plan, Jackson and Lafayette Squares, the State House, the Custom House and other landmarks. Against this backdrop are shown the positions of the combatants and the general flow of the battle. The White League positions and barricades along Poydras are shown in detail, with individual companies identified and their officers named. Dotted lines indicate their advance on the Metropolitans positioned at the New Orleans and Mobile Rail Depot, and the subsequent retreat of the Metropolitans to the Police Station. There is much other detail, including the positions of important White League leaders and the various locations where several people fell in battle. Columns of text give a detailed “History of the Revolution,” with actions by White League companies alphabetically keyed to locations marked on the plan. At lower right a “Roll of Honor” lists those White Leaguers killed and wounded in the engagement.<br /><br />The map was printed in two editions; this is the first. Both editions are extremely rare, with only seven other known copies in American institutions. LaRC would like to have both editions; if your family has a copy of the second edition that they would like to ensure is permanently preserved, please contact us, <b><a href="mailto:larc@tulane.edu">larc@tulane.edu</a></b>.Room 202http://www.blogger.com/profile/12277844959267478915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880454777526588604.post-2439739520871857652018-08-20T07:27:00.000-07:002018-08-20T07:27:20.195-07:00Spotlight: baptismal certificate, 1798 August 18.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Charles-Pierre Lambert baptismal certificate, 1798 August 18.<br /><br />A certificate verifying that Charles-Pierre Lambert was baptized at age two by Jean Baptiste-Joseph Lemaire and that Madame de St. Georges gave him to Monsieur Lambert, his natural father, who promised to set him free. The certificate is signed by Chapdu de St. George, V. Lambert (Francoise-Victoire Joubert né Lambert, his godmother), and J. J. Lemaire. The document is in French.<br /><br />Charles-Pierre Lambert (known as "Richard,") was a free man of color, musician, conductor, and early teacher of the violinist and composer Edmond Dédé. He was born an enslaved person about 1796 in New York, NY to Pierre Antoine Lambert and Marie Nicolle, "Zoe." He is described as a mulatto slave belonging to Madame de St. Georges. In Saint-Domingue on 18 August 1798, his custody was transferred to his father, who vowed to free him. He married Jeanne Ferand, a free woman of color, on 22 April 1826 in New Orleans. His second wife was Suzanne Coralie Ory, also a free woman of color. He had at least nine children: Charles-Lucien (musician, 1828?-before 1875), Richard (born 1829), Catherine Elmire (born 1835), Sidney (musician, born 1838?), Elmire (born 1839), Leda (born 1840), Elisa (born 1842), Emile (born 1852), and John Alcide (born 1858).He died in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 1862.<br /><br />Pierre Antoine Lambert (1771-1827) was a native of Saint-Domingue, who later lived in Cuba on his coffee plantation until about 1809, when he settled in New Orleans, Louisiana. In New Orleans, he owned a pharmacy, practiced medicine, and taught at the Collége d'Orléans. His first wife was Marie Nicolle (also known as "Zoe") and his second wife was Louise Hélène né Emilie Chapdu. His children were Charles-Pierre (also known as "Richard," 1796-1862), Eugene (born 1798), Marie Laurette (born 1799), Hyacinthe (born 1808), Lucien (1809-1813), Jean Marie "Jules" (1813-1869), Louise (1819-1843), and Pierre-Alexandre, (1806-1895) who was a prominent New Orleans doctor and administrator of Charity Hospital.<br /><br />Lambert Family Papers, Manuscripts Collection 244, Louisiana Research Collection, Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, Tulane University, You can enlarge the image <a href="http://louisianadigitallibrary.org/islandora/object/fpoc-p16313coll51%3A62380" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>.Room 202http://www.blogger.com/profile/12277844959267478915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880454777526588604.post-45029476617458210052018-08-09T11:23:00.000-07:002018-08-09T11:23:29.898-07:00LaRC people and places April - August 2018<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On September 14, LaRC's compatriot institution, Tulane University’s Southeastern Architectural Archive, will hold the opening reception for its newest exhibit, "The Laurel Valley Plantation Photographs of Philip M. Denman." The reception will be held from 5:30pm – 8:00pm and is free and open to the public.<br />
<br />
The exhibit showcases the nearly 40-year photographic coverage of Laurel Valley Plantation in Thibodaux, Louisiana, by Philip Marin Denman. The journey began in 1978 when Denman documented the more than 100 buildings dating from the 1830s—ca.1900. Twenty-seven years later, Denman returned to record the condition of the plantation in 2005, and in 2017 he photographed the 55 or so remaining structures. The striking b/w images are enhanced by a small number of color prints. The exhibit also includes Denman’s capture of life in New Orleans’ French Quarter in the late-1960s to early-1970s, and his images of the remains of Seven Oaks Plantation in Westwego, Louisiana, before its demolition in 1977.<br />
<br />
Generous support for "The Laurel Valley Plantation Photographs of Philip M. Denman" was provided by the SEAA Gifts Fund and the Marjorie Peirce Geiser and John Geiser, Jr. Fund of the Southeastern Architectural Archive. The reception is co-hosted by Tulane University's Masters of Preservation Studies Program.<br />
<br />
Curated by Kevin Williams, "The Laurel Valley Plantation Photographs of Philip M. Denman" opens September 14, 2018 and runs through June 14, 2019 at the Southeastern Architectural Archive, 6801 Freret Street, Jones Hall, Room 300, on Tulane University’s Uptown campus. Hours are 9am–12pm and 1pm–5pm Monday-Friday. Admission is free and open to the public. <br />
<br />
