American Prison Newspapers 1800s to present

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Overview

On March 24, 1800, Forlorn Hope was published within a prison in New York state, edited by an incarcerated person. In the intervening 200+ years, over 700 prison newspapers have been published from U.S. prisons in all fifty states. American Prison Newspapers will bring together hundreds of these periodicals from across the country into one collection that will represent penal institutions of all kinds, with special attention paid to women-only institutions.

With the United States incarcerating more individuals than any other nation-almost 2 million as of 2023-these publications represent a vast dimension of media history. These publications depict and report on all manner of life within the walls of prisons, from the quotidian to the upsetting. Incarcerated journalists walk a tightrope between oversight by administration-even censorship-and seeking to report accurately on their experiences inside. Some publications were produced with the sanction of institutional authorities; others were produced underground.

Development of the collection began in July 2020, with new content added regularly. The American Prison Newspapers collection is made possible by libraries that have provided funding to cover the publishing costs, along with institutions and individuals that are opening their archives to provide the source material for digitization. Thanks to their contributions, the collection has been fully open access since July 2021.

"When we view these posters, we are educated in the potential for action-which is what advertising does best, but little else. The chimerical world of picturing beauty and health at the close of the twentieth century provides as little access to the complex images demanded of our society as do the images of the last fin de siécle, but in their overwhelming simplicity they form the materials for a new history of medicine rooted in the study of the visual image."

Index to the Library of Congress digitised collections of Presidents' Papers.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The presidential papers of George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt and Calvin Coolidge have all been digitized and are now available online.

The Library of Congress has completed a more than two decade-long initiative to digitize the papers of nearly two dozen early presidents. The Library holds the papers of 23 presidents from George Washington to Calvin Coolidge, all of which have been digitized and are now available online.

The Library plans to highlight each presidential collection on social media in the weeks leading up to the next presidential inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021.

"Arguably, no other body of material in the Manuscript Division is of greater significance for the study of American history than the presidential collections," said Janice E. Ruth, chief of the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress. "They cover the entire sweep of American history from the nation's founding through the first decade after World War I, including periods of prosperity and depression, war and peace, unity of purpose and political and civil strife."

The 23 presidential collections in the Library's holdings, acquired through donation or purchase, are of such significant value that Congress enacted a law in 1957 directing the Library to arrange, index and microfilm the papers, an enormous job that concluded in 1976. With the dawn of the digital age, the collections of presidential papers were among the first manuscripts proposed for digitization. The conclusion of this effort marks the addition of more than 3.3 million images to the Library's online archives.

"The writings and records of America's presidents are an invaluable source of information on world events, and many of these collections are the primary sources for books and films that teach us about our nation's history," said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. "We are proud to make these presidential papers available free of charge to even more researchers, students and curious visitors online."

The collections include some of the nation's most treasured documents, including George Washington's commission as commander in chief of the American army and his first inaugural address; Thomas Jefferson's rough draft of the Declaration of Independence; and Abraham Lincoln's first and second inaugural addresses, along with many others.

The digitized presidential collections offer a robust set of primary resources and easy access for researchers, educators and students studying America's early presidents.

For presidents who followed Coolidge, the National Archives and Records Administration administers the system of presidential libraries that house and manage the presidential records from President Herbert Hoover onward. The Library does not hold the original papers of all 29 presidents before Hoover, however. The papers of John Adams and John Quincy Adams, for example, are housed at the Massachusetts Historical Society.

With the digitization of papers from Presidents Benjamin Harrison, William Howard Taft, Grover Cleveland and Coolidge, the Library's complete set of presidential collections is now available online for the first time.
Newly Digitized Collections
Papers of President Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901)
The Harrison collection includes 69,600 items (178,479 images), with the bulk of the collection dating from 1853 to 1901. The collection contains correspondence, speeches, articles, notebooks in shorthand, legal papers, financial records, scrapbooks, memorials, printed matter, memorabilia, and other papers, covering every aspect of Harrison's life and career.

Papers of President William Howard Taft (1857-1930)
The Taft collection includes approximately 676,000 documents (785,977 images), with the bulk of the material dating from 1880 to 1930. These papers constitute the largest collection of original Taft documents in the world and the largest among the Library's presidential papers. The collection contains family papers, personal and official correspondence, presidential and judicial files, speeches and addresses, legal files and notebooks, business and estate papers, engagement calendars, guest lists, scrapbooks, clippings, printed matter, memorabilia and photographs.

Papers of President Grover Cleveland (1837-1908)
The Cleveland collection includes 108,200 items (192,602 images), with the bulk of the material dating from 1885 to 1908. The collection contains correspondence, diaries, messages to Congress, speeches, writings, printed materials and other papers relating chiefly to Cleveland's presidencies and presidential campaigns.

Papers of President Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933)
The Coolidge collection includes 179,000 documents (218,513 images), constituting the largest collection of original Coolidge documents in the world. The collection contains incoming correspondence with attachments, notes, carbon copies of outgoing letters from Coolidge or one of his secretaries, telegraph messages, appointment books and names and addresses of White House guests.

Full Set of Presidential Collections
The Library of Congress holds the following collections of presidential papers and has made each available online.

Colonial North America at Harvard Library provides access to remarkable and wide-ranging materials digitized as part of an ongoing, multi-year project. When complete, the project will make available to the world approximately 650,000 digitized pages of all known archival and manuscript materials in the Harvard Library that relate to 17th- and 18th-century North America. Each item is connected to countless stories-of lives lived quietly and extravagantly, of encounters peaceful and volatile, and of places near and far - providing an opportunity to travel back in time, to rethink familiar stories, and to discover new ones.

European exploration and colonialism in North America took place over several centuries and affected the lives of millions of people across multiple continents. The breadth and scope of these materials reflect this long history and its many dimensions. Over 200 years of colonial era history are represented in this digitized collection, and the diversity in focus, format, and content reflects the complexities of the era in which the materials were created. The items extend well beyond New England to Canada, other areas of North America, and South America; to Atlantic islands and across the Atlantic Ocean to Great Britain, continental Europe, and parts of Africa. Curated features on the website provide a deeper look at several topical areas and suggest ways of approaching the use of different kinds of materials to gain new insights. This website is updated regularly, so please check back for newly digitized content and features.

Colonial slavery shaped modern Britain and we all still live with its legacies. The slave-owners were one very important means by which the fruits of slavery were transmitted to metropolitan Britain. We believe that research and analysis of this group are key to understanding the extent and the limits of slavery's role in shaping British history and leaving lasting legacies that reach into the present.

Nixon and Ford administration PDBs released 24 August 2016 (View all PDB documents)

The declassified President's Daily Briefs (PDBs) from the Nixon and Ford presidential administrations in this collection include about 2,500 documents and 28,000 pages. As part of this release, CIA held a symposium, "The President's Daily Brief: Delivering Intelligence to Nixon and Ford, " at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, CA on 24 August 2016. The PDBs contain the highest level of intelligence on the president's key national security issues and concerns. These documents were the primary vehicle for summarizing the day-to-day sensitive intelligence and analysis, as well as late-breaking reports, for the White House. As part of this declassification effort, the President's Intelligence Checklists (or PICLs, pronounced "pickles") and PDBs delivered to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson - some 2,500 documents and 19,000 pages - were released for the first time on 16 September 2015. The two collections show that the product was tailored - both in content and format - to the requirements of each president. President Richard Nixon, as a once practicing attorney, preferred to review the PDBs on longer legal size paper, and this format was carried into the Ford administration. Both collections were assembled as part of the CIA's Historical Review Program, which identifies, reviews, and declassifies documents on historically significant events or topics.

Kennedy and Johnson administration PDBs released 15 September 2015 (View all PDB documents)

The CIA's Historical Review Program on 16 September 2015 released a collection of presidential briefing products written during the Kennedy and Johnson presidential administrations. This large-scale release of The President's Intelligence Checklists (PICLs) [an acronym pronounced "pickles"] and The President's Daily Briefs (PDBs) includes almost 2,500 documents exclusively written for the president each day except Sunday. They summarized the day-to-day intelligence and analysis on current and future national security issues. President Kennedy received the first PICL -- a seven-page 8 - by 8-inch booklet -- on Saturday, 17 June 1961 at his country home near Middleburg, Virginia. The PICL was replaced by the PDB on 1 December 1964, during the Johnson administration. In addition to the PDBs and PICLs, the collection includes The President's Intelligence Review and its replacement, Highlights of the Week, as well as ad hoc supplemental products and annexes that featured topics of presidential interest. The CIA originators of the PICL, and later the PDB, strove to craft a daily current product that was true to sensitive source reporting and yet was easily readable by the president and his advisors.

About Davis and the Photographs

Davis served in the 6th Museum and Medical Arts Service (MAMAS) unit during the Second World War. The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology/Army Medical Museum in Washington organized units of six personnel plus a commanding officer to furnish medical illustration services to the medical corps in various overseas operations. Starting in 1942 -- and gathering personnel with previous experience -- the units were assembled and given basic medical training plus workshops in medical photography and medical art before deployment. Altogether six such MAMAS units were deployed, first to India to serve the India/Burma campaigns then to North Africa, England and the South Pacific.

The most significant work of these units was to illustrate the various Army training manuals regarding the use of the new drugs sulfanilimide and penicillin.

While in the MAMAS, Davis worked with Melvin C. Shaffer, whose photographs are available in the Melvin C. Shaffer Collection.

Almost immediately after arriving in Naples, Davis was assigned to go to France and photograph medical activities northwest of Dijon, which at the time was near the front line. He spent his time at battalion aid stations, German field hospitals and similar facilities, taking picture after picture that would be used to show the history of Army medical activities in the war and to provide training materials for future generations of soldiers. He worked on his personal photography, as well.

The European war ended while Davis was in the Po Valley area of Italy. He returned to Naples and the 6th MAMAS was sent to a staging area near Marseilles, France. He joined 10,000 men on a large vessel and sailed off for the Pacific, where the war with Japan raged on.

Hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers were scheduled for redeployment to the Pacific after victory in Europe, and Davis' unit was part of this vast migration. They crossed the Atlantic, passed through the Panama Canal and then, just a day or so away from Pearl Harbor, they learned about the dropping of the atomic bombs. They docked in Hawaii and that evening the Japanese surrender was announced.

But several days later, Davis and his comrades debarked at Saipan in the Mariana Islands -- climbing down rope ladders off the huge ship and into landing crafts that took them to shore. There were still hostile Japanese troops in the hills, and they were warned not to stray up there. Davis' unit was dissolved and he found himself back in the photographic section of the Signal Corps. But, he reminisces, "There wasn't much to do except swim in the beautiful, crystal-clear water, take scenic photo views, and photograph white grave markers whenever the Red Cross passed on a request from relatives of those who died in the 1944 battle for the island."

On May 12, 2009, the U. S. Congress authorized a national initiative by passing The Civil Rights History Project Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-19). The law directed the Library of Congress (LOC) and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) to conduct a national survey of existing oral history collections with relevance to the Civil Rights movement to obtain justice, freedom and equality for African Americans and to record and make widely accessible new interviews with people who participated in the struggle. The project was initiated in 2010 with the survey and with interviews beginning in 2011.

On May 12, 2009, the U. S. Congress authorized a national initiative by passing The Civil Rights History Project Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-19). The law directed the Library of Congress (LOC) and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) to conduct a national survey of existing oral history collections with relevance to the Civil Rights movement to obtain justice, freedom and equality for African Americans and to record and make widely accessible new interviews with people who participated in the struggle. The project was initiated in 2010 with the survey and with interviews beginning in 2011.

The activists interviewed for this project belong to a wide range of occupations, including lawyers, judges, doctors, farmers, journalists, professors, and musicians, among others. The video recordings of their recollections cover a wide range of topics within the freedom struggle, such as the influence of the labor movement, nonviolence and self-defense, religious faith, music, and the experiences of young activists. Actions and events discussed in the interviews include the Freedom Rides (1961), the Albany Movement (1961), the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (1963), the Selma to Montgomery Rights March (1965), the Orangeburg Massacre (1968), the Poor People's Campaign (1968), sit-ins, and voter registration drives in the South. The murder of fourteen year old Emmett Till in 1955, a horrific event that galvanized many young people into joining the freedom movement, looms large in the memories of many movement veterans.

Many interviewees were active in national organizations such as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Black Panther Party. Other interviewees were key members of specialized and local groups including the Medical Committee for Human Rights, the Deacons for Defense and Justice, the Cambridge (Maryland) Nonviolent Action Committee, and the Newark Community Union Project. A few interviews focus on Chicano activists who were influenced by the African American freedom struggle and their recollections of the occasional coalitions that developed between the black and brown power movements. Several interviews include men and women who were on the front lines of the struggle in places not well-known for their civil rights movement activity such as Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Saint Augustine, Florida; and Bogalusa, Louisiana. The collection also includes the reflections of the children of grass-roots activists including Clara Luper, Robert Hicks, and Gayle Jenkins.

A number of organizations and individuals were responsible for the Project from inception to completion. Curation, preservation and access to the interviews was, and remains, a joint undertaking of the Library's American Folklife Center and the NMAAHC. The American Folklore Society (AFS) oversaw the research team of four scholars who gathered the information for the CRHP National Survey Database of Civil Rights Collections; the database was developed by Washington State University's Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation. The Southern Oral History Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill coordinated the production of the interviews, the majority of which were conducted by leading historians on the topic of the long black freedom struggle and (with a few exceptions) were recorded in born-digital video format by Media Generation.

This site guides researchers to collections in several Library divisions that specifically focus on the movement as well as the broader topic of African American history and culture. The Civil Rights History Project Collection (AFC 2010/039) contains more than 1200 items consisting of born-digital video files, digitized videocassettes, digital photographs and full-text transcripts for all interviews. The interviews are also accessible through the Library's YouTube site and the NMAAHC website.

Mapping Congress in the Era of the First Party System
Lincoln Mullen
As Americans go to the polls to vote for their representatives to Congress on Election Day, the Mapping Early American Elections team invites you to examine maps from the first four decades of Congressional elections. In addition to the maps of the first ten Congresses we released previously, today we are releasing maps of 24 states for elections to the 11th through 19th Congresses. This release completes our run of state-by-state maps of county-level returns for elections to the House of Representatives.

How party voting patterns changed in Maryland over nineteen Congresses. Note how competition between Federalists (green) and Anti-Federalists (orange), which is briefly interrupted by state-wide parties (blue and red), is replaced by competition between Federalists (green) and Democratic-Republicans (purple). Those two parties remain dominant until the Democratic-Republicans fragment into factions in the 19th Congress.

These maps constitute a detailed visualization of Congressional elections, which we have mapped at the county level rather than at the level of the district or state. While signficant gaps remain, these maps are as comprehensive as possible for this period. Data on Congressional elections becomes far more available and reliable after 1824. Indeed, election data before 1824 would have been virtually lost, were it not for the decades of labor by Philip Lampi and the A New Nation Votes project. While our maps are based on the NNV data, we have also created what amounts to a new dataset in order to be able to map these election returns. This has included figuring out missing data by estimating returns at the county level from district totals, associating the elections data with the spatial data in the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries and United States Congressional District Shapefiles, creating links to the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, and identifying party affiliations for many Congressional candidates. We have also had to make many decisions about how to represent political affiliations on the maps, associating candidates not just with the major parties from this period but also with significant factions within those parties.

The map of Virginia's election for the 19th Congress illustrates how the Democratic-Republic party fragmented into a number of factions by the 1820s. In this election, candidates ran for the Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties, but also in factions aligned with Jackson and Adams/Clay. Those factions eventually became the Democrats and Whigs.

The period from 1789 to 1824 saw the formation and gradual fragmentation of the first party system. Though political parties were regarded with suspicion in the early republican period, the two-party system came to provide the foundational structure of American politics, with parties playing an essential role in encouraging and channeling participation in American democracy. Political affiliations were initially organized only loosely around coalitions of Federalists and Anti-Federalists. Occasionally local political parties were more significant than those national affiliations. The maps and tables for some of the earlier elections show that many representatives (for example, in Virginia) stood for election without opposition, a remnant of an older political system organized around "natural leaders" from the gentry rather than around party competition.

By the early years of the nineteenth-century, those coalitions had turned into two recognizable political parties, the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans. While the Federalists remained a significant political power in many locations for longer than political historians had earlier realized, by the 1820s the Democratic-Republicans had become dominant. For the 18th and 19th Congresses, competition was primarily among factions within that party, rather than between the two political parties. On these maps we have had to represent not just the major parties but also coalitions within the Democratic-Republicans including the Tertium Quids and factions organized around Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, William Crawford, and DeWitt Clinton. In the elections that followed our period, those factions would eventually coalesce into the second party system, comprised of Democrats and Whigs. (If you want to see how the rest of the history played out, we encourage you to look at Electing the House of Representatives from the Digital Scholarship Lab, which begins mapping elections in 1840.)

We hope that you will browse these maps, perhaps by looking at how elections played out in the county where you vote. These maps show the creation of one of the fundamental structures of U.S. politics and American democracy.

2,000+ punk rock flyers, free as they were intended to be

August 16, 2018 by artstor

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Punk flyers from the 1970s to the 1990s shared many of the qualities of the music they promoted-a DIY aesthetic, an embrace of cheap and accessible technology (i.e., photocopiers), plus a healthy dose of humor. In contrast to the often ornate Art Nouveau-inspired rock posters of the psychedelic 1960s, punk flyers typically featured dissonant collages, crude handwriting, and amateurish drawing-not to mention a strict limitation of color.

While punk rock continually regenerates, with new bands and subgenres popping up cyclically, the advent of digital technology for design and social media for dissemination has made the flyer less central to the community. And since these flyers were temporary announcements often stapled or pasted in public places, they are a particularly evanescent form of folk art.

Thankfully, the Cornell University Rare and Manuscript Division is sharing freely more than 2,000 of these rare flyers as an Artstor Public Collection.

Cataloged and shared via JSTOR Forum, Cornell's Punk Flyers collection is made up of the Johan Kugelberg punk collection, which includes hundreds of fliers, posters, zines, original art, and more, and the Aaron Cometbus Punk and Underground Press Collection, which includes punk, new wave, and hardcore flyers and other ephemera from the San Francisco Bay area and beyond.

Over at Boston 1775, J.L. Bell has a nice roundup of some of the best databases about enslaved people.

Here is a taste:
This is just one of several online databases about enslaved people that researchers can now use. There's the venerable Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, which has numbers (not names) of every known slaving voyage from Africa to the New World. This project has recently received a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to expand with information about shipments from one American port to another. The New York Slavery Records Index has collected records that "identify individual enslaved persons and their owners, beginning as early as 1525 and ending during the Civil War."
Runaway Connecticut is based on a selection of the runaway notices that appeared in the Connecticut Courant between 1765 and 1820. Those advertisements involve different sorts of people-escaping slaves, runaway apprentices, deserting soldiers, escaped prisoners, and dissatisfied husbands and wives.
The Afro-Louisiana History and Genealogy site is based on databases created by Dr. Gwendolyn Midlo Hall and published on CD-ROM by the Louisiana State University Press in 2000. The Virginia Historical Society's Unknown No Longer website collects "the names of all the enslaved Virginians that appear in our unpublished documents." That means it's not as comprehensive as other compilations, but the society felt it was better to share what they had which would otherwise remain hidden than to wait for more.
