What would summer be without a trip to Block Island! "Dear Folks, I hope all is well out there at the farm. I think of you often. It is very pleasant here. A little bit of hot weather but nothing to speak of. I should be home Friday for a week. Probably see you then. Take care. Love, Charlotte" #archivespostcards #ArchivesHashtagParty #shiphistory (at The Steamship Historical Society of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg4w4Z4M_ZG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

my heart speaks to you in thought, just as you see here in writing (from the instrumental womb…)

but you can also hear music playing in True nature on garden earth, like instrumental birdsong

and of course humans made in God’s image have the ability to think and speak, even to play music and sing

the starry night skies of the heavens are silent to us, just as the moon, and on earth we hear so many things

it matters what we think and come to believe, and what we write and speak

(we are made of silence & sound)

Happy Archives Month!  

Preserving old records involves knowing and understanding old records storage systems.  Here is a Box File, filled with correspondence and ephemera from 1912.  Box files were very popular at the turn of the Twentieth Century, and as you can see, a series of box files lined up nicely on a shelf, looking like well-tamed books.  We appreciate the look, and we can certainly get behind a good filing system, but we don’t appreciate the wooden substrate or the fasteners used on the records inside!  Happy Archives Month!

Happy Women's History Month!

Happy First Day of Women's History Month! We're starting the weekend off right featuring Women in STEM for this month's Archives Hashtag Party!

Check out these photos of nurses and other women in medicine from our ILGWU Justice and Local 1199 Photographs Collections, #5780/102P and #5933P.

The photos from the ILGWU Justice Photographs Collection feature nurses of the ILGWU Union Health Center. In 1913, the New York City locals of the ILGWU established the UHC under the direction of Dr. George Price of the Joint Board of Sanitary Control. Initially, the UHC offered physical exams, medical treatments, access to a dental clinic, and information about health and hygiene. By the 1960s, the UHC offered comprehensive care to ILGWU members and their families, and over the years, the center's range of services expanded to include social and psychological services, eye exams, maternity care, and surgical consultation. The Union Health Center continues its work today at in New York City.

Between 1933 and 1957, Local 1199 functioned as a drugstore local with its membership growing to 5,000 workers employed in independent and chain drugstores throughout the New York metropolitan area. With its success in organizing workers in Montefiore Hospital in New York City, the union began a massive campaign to organize workers in voluntary and non-profit hospitals in the New York area, a large proportion of whom were black or Hispanic. In 1973, the national union was established, combining organizing efforts with civil rights organizations in an effort to achieve mutual political goals.

In the days of long ocean voyages, which could last for weeks on end, passengers often passed the time by playing sports or deck games. Often the only entertainment on board, spectators would watch and cheer on fellow travellers. Coming soon to our new film program SHIPS, we will hear from passengers who played a variety of deck games as part of leisure on board. Stay tuned for more information in the coming months. #ArchivesSports #ArchivesHashtagParty @usnatarchives (at The Steamship Historical Society of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiAg2U1MwIb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
