				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It started like this: “I see that this file contains clippings on Robert Benjamin Stacy-Judd. I am interested in biographical information on his wife (after 1949), Marjorie Ellen Webster.”</p>
<p>A routine inquiry that I <b><i>thought</i></b> was going to lead to a routine find.</p>
<p>Contrary to that (and to my pleasant surprise), this reference question led to a fun discovery and insight into a local artist and educator.</p>
<p>For now, I can only provide a little preview (see images below). More on M. E. Webster will be revealed in the June 13 blog post.</p>
<p>Until then, bide your time by trying to identify all the characters illustrated on the back cover of <i>Epopeya</i> and pondering the question, “How did Ms. Webster come to acquire such a rare item?”</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', 'serif';">Myer Joseph Newmark, 1838-1911, was the cousin of Harris Newmark, author of <i>Sixty Years in Southern California</i>. Born in New York in 1838 to Joseph and Rosa (Levy) Newmark, Myer was the second of six children. His father, an observant Jew, came from a long line of rabbis in Poland and Germany. Myer was educated in New York and England, where he lived with his maternal grandparents, attending grammar school and later New York&#8217;s Columbia College for a short time. He celebrated his bar mitzvah a year before making the voyage to California. In California, Myer Newmark lived in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. In 1859 he became a practicing lawyer in Los Angeles at the age of twenty-one, returning in 1863 to San Francisco, where he entered a law partnership with Henry J. Labatt and Robert T. Payne. Moving back to Los Angeles in 1871, he went into business with Harris Newmark. In June of 1874, Myer Newmark married Sophie Cahen, a recent French emigrant. Together they had three children. Newmark died in 1911 in San Francisco. </span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><em>Part of a Series: Exploring the David Dortort Archives</em><i><br />
<em>At the beginning of each month, Project Archivist Mallory Furnier explores the donated papers of novelist, screenwriter, and producer David Dortort. Click <a href="http://libraries.theautry.org/tag/david-dortort/">here</a> for other entries in the series.</em></i></p>
<p>After David Dortort’s novels <i>Burial of the Fruit</i> and <i>The Post of Honor</i> were published, film studios came knocking and purchased the rights to his work. Around this time, Dortort headed out to Hollywood to work as a screenwriter. Newspaper clippings attached him to several different projects in development, including one titled <i>Portrait of an American Communist</i>. A September 17, 1948, clipping from <i>Our Times</i> noted that “author John McPartland will adapt it with one David Dortort. Could be a pseudonym? Never heard of him…” Little did the journalist know, but in about ten years’ time Dortort would create <i>Bonanza</i>, one of the landmark television series of the twentieth century.</p>
<p>These clippings about screenwriting projects that didn’t make it to film are part of a scrapbook on Dortort’s early work. The scrapbook also includes press coverage of <i>The Lusty Men</i>, a rodeo melodrama that did get produced. Take a look:</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Intern Hailey Jures is the inaugural year intern for the Occidental College and Autry Archives Inside Out Internship for 2012–2013. Below, she describes the activities she designed for L.A. Heritage Day 2013. </em></p>
<p>Over 2,500 people attended the sixth annual L.A. Heritage Day last Sunday, April 14, at the Pico House. Historical societies, heritage groups, and museums created exhibits about their organization’s contributions to L.A. history. As part of our exhibit, the Libraries and Archives of the Autry National Center organized two activities that highlighted available material at the Autry and engaged people with El Pueblo’s history.</p>
<p>The first activity involved Charles Lummis, the founder of the Southwest Museum. He kept a guest log, or house book, signed by visitors to his home. Of the thousands of signatures in this log, many signatures remain illegible to library staff. I chose three different signatures from the illegible signature list and we encouraged people to interpret them. We received a variety of translations. For  the first, S.W. Folsom, S.W. Fabian, S.W. Faboni, Sam Falsam, Sur Fabian; for the second, Alex Snowman, Alex Sherman, Alfred Snowan, Sler Snoman, Alex Shanow; and for the third, Marvin Marshall, Miriam Munchap, Marvin Newhall, Maria M. W., Marvin Menshalf, Miriam Marshall, Mimmi Muzhall. Take a look at the signatures below and respond with your guesses in the comment section!</p>
<p><a href="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/2.png"><img class="size-full wp-image aligncenter" id="i-5692" alt="Image" src="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/2.png?w=650" width="396" height="67" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Unknown signature, 11-06-1921, Lummis Housebook Page 24, Braun Research Library Collection, Autry National Center; MSA 1.10.1.</p>
<p><a href="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/31.png"><img class="size-full wp-image aligncenter" id="i-5696" alt="Image" src="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/31.png?w=650" width="393" height="131" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Unknown signature, 04-21-1909, Lummis Housebook, page 99. Braun Research Library Collection, Autry National Center; MSA 1.10.1</p>
<p><a href="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/41.png"><img class="size-full wp-image aligncenter" id="i-5698" alt="Image" src="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/41.png?w=650" width="414" height="84" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Unknown signature, Lummis Housebook, page 21. Braun Research Library Collection, Autry National Center; MSA 1.10.1</p>
<p>Our second activity was a scavenger hunt around El Pueblo. I searched the digitized collections, available at TheAutry.org, and found six late-nineteenth and early twentieth century images of different locations in El Pueblo. The challenge was to find the location from the historical image and take a current photo. We also encouraged people to upload their photos to Twitter using #autryexplore. Although L.A. Heritage Day is over, you can still head over to El Pueblo and take on the scavenger hunt yourself. Don’t forget to upload the images to Twitter!</p>
<p><a href="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/scavenger-hunt-1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image aligncenter" id="i-5701" alt="Image" src="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/scavenger-hunt-1.jpg?w=650" width="383" height="293" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/scavenger-hunt-2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image aligncenter" id="i-5703" alt="Image" src="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/scavenger-hunt-2.jpg?w=650" width="283" height="370" /></a></p>
<p>If you missed L.A. Heritage Day this year, be on the lookout for next year’s event. It’s a great way to learn about local organizations and find ways you can help preserve, or even make, L.A. history! To see pictures from this year, you can visit <a href="http://www.facebook.com/LAHeritage" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/LAHeritage</a>. To get more information about L.A.

<p><strong>Manuscript number:</strong> MS.212</p>
<p><strong>Scope and contents</strong>:<br />
This collection of papers includes the manuscript for a book titled <em>The Changing Eskimo</em> and research material relating to Inuit ethnology, archaeology, and anthropology from 1957 to 1962. Yatsushiro’s research materials included in this collection are from his work in Frobisher Bay from 1958 to 1959. Papers include field notes, field expenses, questionnaires, and transcripts of interviews. This collection also includes both business and personal correspondence, some of which includes correspondence to Yatsushiro’s wife, Lily, while she stayed with him in Frobisher Bay. Other papers in this collection include a bibliography on “Copper Eskimos,” notes on linguistics and orthography, government licenses, newsletters, newspaper clippings, examples of research proposals, and one of Yatsushiro’s students’ papers.</p>
<p>Although there is no evidence that <em>The Changing Eskimo</em> was published as a monograph, certain sections of the chapters were given as papers before some anthropological meetings.</p>
<p><strong>Biographical note</strong>:</p>
<p>Toshio Yatsushiro was born on May 5, 1917, in the United States and raised by his Japanese-born parents in Hawaii. After finishing high school, he received a scholarship to the University of Redlands and began studying sociology in 1939. When World War II began during his senior year of college, Yatsushiro and his family from the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles were all sent to the Colorado River War Relocation Authority camp, also known as Poston, in Arizona. Located on the Colorado River Indian Reservation, Poston was operated by the Office of Indian Affairs (OIA), now the Bureau of Indian Affairs, until 1943.</p>
<p>While Yatsushiro was teaching at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, the Canadian government commissioned him to do field studies on the Inuit Eskimo residents of Frobisher Bay, now known as Iqaluit, in the Northwest Territory of Nunavut to see how they were dealing with Canadian settlements between 1958 and 1959. Yatsushiro attended an international conference in 1959 and presented a preliminary report on his findings, which was critical of the government’s handling of the Inuit people of Baffin Island. The Canadian government terminated the contract, and Yatsushiro’s manuscript was never published.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Autry National Center received the life’s work of photographer Theo Westenberger after her death in 2008. With the gift the Autry accepted responsibility for the organization and permanent safekeeping of the materials. As the sole repository of her work, the Autry is committed to making Westenberger’s work accessible to researchers and licensing the work for use in suitable editorial and commercial projects, such as the image below:</p>
<div id="attachment_5632" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 563px"><a href="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/msa_25_57_2a2.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-5632   " alt="Pelican 3 and 4 (diptych), undated, Florida. Theo Westenberger Archives, Autry National Center; MSA.25.57.2A" src="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/msa_25_57_2a2.jpg?w=553&#038;h=415" width="553" height="415" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"><em>Pelican 3 and 4</em> (diptych), undated, Florida. Theo Westenberger Archives, Autry National Center; MSA.25.57.2A</p></div>
<p>Most importantly, the Autry National Center accepted responsibility for the legacy of the photographer as an artist. Whenever the work is reproduced, we are responsible for ensuring the work accurately represents the aesthetic and artistic intention of the artist. And unless an archivist has worked closely with a photographer, dancer, or musician prior to their passing, it is left to the archivist to analyze, reconstruct, and re-create the work that most closely represents their aesthetic. The director of the Center for Creative Photography advises all photographers to print a master set of their most important or cherished images so that future generations of viewers and archivists know exactly how the work <i>should</i> be seen. For example, Theo preferred some of her images printed with this irregular border, which gives the print an old fashioned, “low-tech” feel:</p>
<div id="attachment_5635" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 573px"><a href="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/msa_25_53_2a1.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-5635" alt="Theo Westenberger Archives, 1974-2006.MSA.25. The Autry National Center" src="http://autrylibraries.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/msa_25_53_2a1.jpg?w=563&#038;h=422" width="563" height="422" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"><em>Flamingo Group,</em> undated. Theo Westenberger Archives, Autry National Center; MSA.25.53.2A</p></div>
<p>We faced this problem recently. In order to showcase Theo Westenberger’s work, we digitized some of her images. But exactly what was going to be digitized? Theo considered a negative was only halfway to the finished image. Her images were printed by very skilled professional printers, and she kept many permutations of every print. In the archives we found examples of each image in multiple formats:</p>
<ol>
<li>Black-and-white negative</li>
<li>Contact sheet</li>
<li>11&#215;14 black-and-white or toned print in a presentation portfolio for commercial work</li>
<li>Signed or captioned print</li>
<li>Multiple other black-and-white or toned prints in various sizes (11&#215;14, 8&#215;10, and 5&#215;7 prints)</li>
<li>35mm transparency, copied from a print</li>
<li>6x6mm transparency, copied from a print</li>
<li>8&#215;10 transparency, copied from a print and mounted for presentation</li>
<li>8 MB digital file on a hard drive, scanned at low resolution</li>
<li>50 MB digital file on CD, prepared in 1997</li>
</ol>
<p>The challenge was to find the finished work that satisfied Theo and use that as the source material for the digital file. After locating and assembling the many generations of an image, Amy Scott, the Autry’s Marilyn B. and Calvin B. Gross Curator of Visual Arts, and I compared the prints. We balanced factual and contextual information with an awareness of Theo’s aesthetic choices. The final decision on what material to scan was made by Hugh Milstein at Digital Fusion. When Hugh analyzed the prints, he told us which chemical or mineral baths (sometimes more than one) were used to tone the print. Often Hugh felt the subtleties of the tones were impossible to reproduce in Photoshop, so we scanned the print and not the black-and-white negative.</p>

Theo Westenberger Archives, Autry National Center; MSA.25.51.2A</p></div>
<p>Other times, Hugh felt the black-and-white negative would give us more detail and more subtlety than a print. We were very happy with the results. These and 46 additional images are now available to be purchased as prints on art.com.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Part of a Series: Exploring the David Dortort Archives<br />
At the beginning of each mont<em>h, Project Archivist Mallory Furnier explores the donated papers of novelist, screenwriter, and producer David Dortort.  Click <a href="http://libraries.theautry.org/tag/david-dortort/">here</a> for other entries in the series.</em></em></p>
<p>Although David Dortort’s most well-known film and television work featured Western settings, he spent his earliest years growing up in New York City. His youth in New York provided the setting for two novels he wrote before moving to Hollywood to write film scripts in the 1950s.</p>
<p>His first novel, <i>Burial of the Fruit, </i>was published in 1947. It followed the story of young Honey Halpern in the poverty-stricken neighborhood of Brownsville, Brooklyn. An advertisement for the book in the <i>Brooklyn Eagle</i> newspaper described Halpern as someone who “could have been a genius. Instead, he was a brutal killer, living only for action, sensation, lust.” Several reviews compared the storyline of <i>Burial of the Fruit</i> to the real-life story of Murder Inc., an organized crime group based in New York City that was broken up by the law in the early 1940s.</p>
<p>His second published novel, <i>The Post of Honor,</i> hit bookstands in 1949. An ad described <i>The Post of Honor</i> as “the dramatic story of one man who finds his belief in a way of life challenged by shattering reality.” Max Gerard, a young “idealist, poet, [and] fighter” joins the Communist party “in days when radicals were pure idealists and social dissenters.”</p>
<p>Press clippings of reviews and advertisements promoting the two novels are part of the David Dortort Archives. Take a look at what book reviewers and ads had to say about Dortort’s debut novel and second book in the late 1940s:</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On March 28, 1898, in the decision of <em>United States v. Wong Kim Ark,</em> the United States Supreme Court declared that virtually everyone born in the United States is a U.S. citizen.</p>
<p>Under a law restricting Chinese immigration and prohibiting immigrants from China from becoming naturalized U.S. citizens, Wong Kim Ark, born in San Francisco, California, to Chinese immigrant parents, had been denied reentry into the U.S. after a trip abroad. Wong challenged the government&#8217;s refusal to recognize his citizenship, and the Supreme Court decided in his favor, holding that the citizenship language in the 14th Amendment encompassed essentially everyone born in the U.S.—even the U.S.-born children of foreigners.</p>
<p>Along with many other immigrants, Chinese Americans and Chinese immigrants have contributed to the cultural history of the U.S. West. Their rich and complicated history is highlighted throughout the Autry collections.</p>

<p><strong>Scope and contents</strong>:<br />
This collection consists of materials dating from 1899 to 1961, the bulk of which was created from 1907 to 1957.

<p><strong>Biographical note</strong>:</p>
<p>Frances Densmore was an American ethnographer and ethnomusicologist. Born in 1867 in Red Wing, Minnesota, Densmore became interested in Native American music after reading about the ethnomusicology of the Omaha tribe. She began her work in Minnesota by studying and recording the music of the Dakota and Ojibwe tribes. She also traveled across North America where she met with the Chippewa, Mandan, Hidatsa, Sioux, northern Pawnee of Oklahoma, Papago of Arizona, Indians of Washington state and British Columbia, Winnebago and Menominee of Wisconsin, Pueblo Indians of the Southwest, and the Tule Indians of Panama. Densmore conducted fieldwork using a box camera and a cylinder phonograph, and wrote more than 20 books and 100 articles. She also made more than 2,000 wax cylinder recordings of Native music, including recordings for the Smithsonian Institution’s Bureau of American Ethnology (BAE) in 1907. Densmore frequently published articles in the journals <em>American Anthropologist</em> and the Southwest Museum’s  <em>Masterkey</em> publication. She is especially noted for her recordings of Native American music and documenting Native cultures at a time when white settlers were moving into the tribes’ lands and encouraging them to adopt Western customs. Densmore died on June 5, 1957, at the age of 90.</p>
