Knott House Collection
Grant details: PA-51825-06
Name: Knott House Collection
Abstract: The Knott House Museum (KHM) is a 164 year old home with the belongings of W.V. and Luella Knott, who moved into the house in 1928. Historical themes include the Great Depression, 20th century political history, women’s movements, and art in the 1930s. Materials were purchased, artifacts packed and moved to off-site storage; storage furniture was purchased, assembled and installed; artifacts were returned, stored, and location listed on the inventory. The new shelving increased the linear feet of storage from 202 to 505. The increased capacity made it possible to properly shelve and care for artifacts. Wooden platforms were replaced with properly-coated adjustable metal shelving. This eliminated the harmful vapors from wood as well as the acid migration, so harmful to textiles and paper. Crowding was eliminated and artifacts were removed from boxes so they are accessible. Archival materials were placed in filing cabinets and books shelved. The ability to use and study the collection has improved. Location codes on each shelf make it possible to find any artifact. Labor for inventories before and after the move was provided by two graduate interns, Steffany Hagler and Allison Eaton. After the project, Ms. Hagler was hired as a curator at the Museum of Florida History and Ms Eaton was hired by the National Archives. The NEH project at KHM provided experience that was vital to the students’ career goals.

The Queen of the Night. A story of love, crime and intrigue in wicked New York. [New York]: Richmond and Co., [1871] (Richmond’s novels, new series, no. 18)
Grant details: CH-20626-00
Name: The Queen of the Night. A story of love, crime and intrigue in wicked New York. [New York]: Richmond and Co., [1871] (Richmond’s novels, new series, no. 18)
Abstract: This is one of several very rare titles from the “Richmond’s novels” series that AAS recently acquired. Apparently unrecorded, The Queen of the Night is rather archly credited to “the author of ‘One thousand popular tales’”—a reference to a book title, or to one of the ultra-prolific dime novel writers of the time? The Queen of the Night reveals for us the highs and lows of life in “wicked New York.” It begins at Sing-Sing, where remorseful convict Whiskie is breaking rocks, only to encounter his former partner in crime, the manipulative, cold-blooded gang leader Slippery Blacksmith. Whiskie resists Slippery’s unrefusable offer, only to die—or so Slippery thinks, before he breaks out of Sing-Sing. Months later, a freed Whiskie has reinvented himself as “Hugh Mortimer,” a gentleman in pursuit of Gretchen, a wealthy young resident of fashionable Fifth Avenue. But the “Queen of the Night,” who shines in the most select social circles as easily as she dominates the New York underworld, conspires with Slippery to turn Whiskie’s designs to their own advantage. Many lurid plot twists later, Whiskie casts his nemeses into a watery grave and marries the still-undefiled Gretchen. Purchased from Peter Luke. NEH Challenge Fund. ~ David Whitesell

Waterbury, Jared Bell, 1799-1876. The soldier from home. New York: American Tract Society, [1861-1865]
Grant details: CH-20626-00
Name: Waterbury, Jared Bell, 1799-1876. The soldier from home. New York: American Tract Society, [1861-1865]
Abstract: One of two recently acquired pocket-format Civil War-era works authored by Waterbury. Having previously written a number of American Tract Society pamphlets, Waterbury turned his attention during the Civil War to works for soldiers and their loved ones back home. The soldier from home offers a fascinating contemporary perspective on the topic of postal communication with soldiers—all the more important today because of the mass of surviving correspondence and the numerous edited compilations being published during this sesquicentennial period. Waterbury first outlines the mundane details of camp life and the routines of sending and receiving mail, thus enabling those at home to visualize more clearly the importance of letters in soldiers’ daily lives. He then offers pointers on what to write, the effect that letters have on their recipients, dealing with the uncertainty caused by lost letters, preparing for receipt of the dreaded letter addressed in an unknown hand and bearing a black seal, and the solace to be derived from reading what one now knows to be “the last letter.” Purchased from Steve Finer. NEH Challenge Fund. ~ David Whitesell

He as worked in the municipalities of Cuetzalan and Huitzilan de Serdan, collecting approximately 1000 vouchers associated with plants that are named, classified, and (often) used by the Indigenous villages in which he has worked. He has also developed extended collaboration with David Beck (Dept. Linguistics, U. of Alberta) who has committed himself and his students to extend ethnobotanical research to four Totonac communities in the Sierra Norte and Nororiental de Puebla. Preliminary research has begun in one of these communities: Chicontla.
The voucher plant specimens have been and are being deposited in MEXU (the national herbarium of Mexico), HUAP (the state herbarium of Puebla, Mexico), US (the national herbarium of the United States at the Smithsonian), and MO (the Missouri Botanical Gardens). An additional voucher is saved to give to a taxonomist specialist for determination to species.
In sum, Amith and Beck have created material collections in terms of plant voucher specimens deposited in major herbaria and accompanied (on the labels) by botanical and ethnobotanical data.

General collections
Grant details: RZ-51497-12
Name: General collections
Abstract: Materials recovered during excavations at Quiotepec-Oxtotitlán by Urban Origins project personnel (UO 2014) and by National Institute of Anthropology and History personnel (PEO 2008) formed the core of archaeological materials analyzed in 2015, 2016, and 2017 at UNAM. Material culture recovered include ceramics, lithics, shell, fiber, insect, and historic material culture collections. In addition to material culture, collections include soil samples for micro-botanical analysis, zooarchaeological (including insect remains), paleobotanical materials recovered through flotation, paint pigment and substrate samples from Oxtotitlán art, and carbon for radiometric dating. Radiometric, stylistic, and technological dating situate the collections from the Early Formative through to the contemporary period; however, the bulk of materials are Early through Middle Formative in date correlating with the period of creation of major polychrome figures at Oxtotitlán Cave (eq. C-1 and C-2). Core analysis of these materials has been completed and, except as otherwise noted, collections are currently at a Guerrero Regional Center of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) storage facility where they remain available for future specialized analyses.

Autio, Rudy
Grant details: PY-263659-19
Name: Autio, Rudy
Abstract: It comes around again: a memoir, Rattlesnake Valley Press, Missoula, Montana
Rudy Autio, one of the important figures in the contemporary clay movement beginning in the 1950s, discusses his early days growing up in a Finnish immigrant family in Butte, Montana, his time in the Navy at the end of WWII, the start of the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana, with Peter Voulkos, and his building methods of early murals using brickyard clay. Later he helped K Ross Toole, the new director of Montana Historical Society Museum in Helena, with a number of dioramas there in 1954, especially the Lewis and Clark diorama. He then was hired at University of Montana in Missoula to build a ceramics program by President McFarland. He discusses noteworthy students he learned from during his 28-year teaching career and various commissions he built during those years, like the Grizzly, the ceramic murals for Polson, Walla Walla, and Helena. In the 1970s workshops in ceramics demonstrations became popular, especially after the first SuperMud conference, and Rudy describes some of these. Later chapters explore his first trips to Finland, meeting relatives and artists alike. He discusses ways his work changed throughout his life.

Duck and Frog Stories in Chuquisaca Quechua
Grant details: FN-266278-19
Name: Duck and Frog Stories in Chuquisaca Quechua
Abstract: This collection documents storytelling and conversations with speakers of Quechua (quh) in rural highlands Chuquisaca, Bolivia in the communities surrounding Tarabuco town, home of the Yampara culture and celebrated as a World Heritage Site. A small degree of Quechua monolingualism is still preserved there. This collection began in 2016 with 25 interviews of adults and continued in 2018 with 58 interviews of children as well as the making of a short film in which children and community leaders presented theater, a game and songs. In 2019 we conducted two free-form narrative interviews of adults. All collection media were video-recorded, transcribed in Quechua and translated to Spanish by indigenous Bolivian researchers in collaboration with North American linguists. Chuquisaca lies near the southern extreme of the linguistic area that produced Standard Colonial Quechua (quz/quh). Movement of people between Cuzco and Chuquisaca accelerated in the 16th century due to silver mining in Potosí. Cuzco Quechua is the international prestige variety which has been documented for over 500 years, whereas Bolivian varieties have rarely received attention (Durston 2007, Mannheim 1991). Quechua is now ‘definitely endangered’ in the communities where we conducted this collection of interviews, as intergenerational transmission is increasingly abandoned in favor of Spanish.
This collection is an extension of our team’s first efforts, found at AILLA in The Speech of Children from Cuzco and Chuquisaca. In that collection, interviews conducted in Chuquisaca were limited to sentence comprehension and picture description tasks. The elicitation instruments we used here include a series of drawings about a duck and an Andean goose developed by our team, as well as a book of drawings adapted from Mercer Mayer’s Frog Stories which have been used for studies of languages around the world. This project represents collaborative work between the communities of origin, Bolivian native linguists,

2020 Calendar: Exploring Islamic Maps
Grant details: FB-57108-13
Name: 2020 Calendar: Exploring Islamic Maps
Abstract: The richest surviving heritage of premodern maps of the world comes to us from the Middle East and Central and Inner Asia.
The abundance of copies produced in so many places over 1,000 years testifies to the importance of Islamic-world cartographic visions.
Al-Khwarizmi’s map of the Nile became a model for depicting the river in nearly every cartographic manuscript for centuries.
Nasuh’s cartographically illustrated histories could be described as the first attempt at 3D.
Together, all of the maps produced over this unfathomably long era share one thing in common: They were made on the basis of sketches, accounts and myths; views from hills, mountains and the masts of ships; supplemented by tradition on the one hand and carefully accumulated data from increasingly sophisticated navigational and geometric tools on the other. Although these maps do not display the forms of the world in the way ours do today, modern atlases and GPS maps turn out to have much in common with the maps in this calendar: Systems of shapes, lines, labels, patterns and colors all help us understand the world and invite us to explore it.
