Annual Report ofThe Cincinnati Historical Society

July 1971-June 1972

Report of the PresidentWe are completing the one hundred and forty-first year of The CincinnatiHistorical Society. During this entire period the Society has marched steadilyforward in the accomplishment of the objectives for which it was founded.These objectives are the collection, preservation, and dissemination of thehistory of the Greater Cincinnati area. Many, perhaps most, local historicalsocieties are preservation and museum oriented. From its inception, whenit was originally named the Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio, ourorganization's interest has been directed primarily toward recording the writ-ing, the thoughts, and the actions of people. That the lessons of history maybe made viable they must first be recorded, then verified, and lastly documented.

If people make history, then the more people, the more history there willbe. Obviously, with the tremendous growth of population, together with theequally large growth of activity and communications, the larger the job of asociety such as ours becomes.

That this is so is illustrated by the fact that at the time I became president,early in 1964, we were housed in cramped and crowded quarters in the base-ment of the library of the University of Cincinnati and had a staff, includingthe director, Dr. Tucker, of three full-time people. In November 1964, theSociety's new building was completed, furnished, equipped, and staffed. Overa million manuscripts, several thousand pictures, posters, and photographs,and thousands of books were moved and shelved in the new quarters. Themonumental task of collecting, preserving, and disseminating historicalmaterial was undertaken in a new and modern setting.

The Bulletin:, which had been about our only contact with the outsideworld, was expanded and redesigned; the lecture series was started; a radioseries was inaugurated; and the education department was established. Theseactivities have been constantly expanded.

By the spring of 1966, when Dr. Tucker left to become Assistant Com-missioner for State History of New York, the staff had increased to seven.It now consists of eighteen. During the same period of time, the Society'sendowment has increased from about $500,000 to over two million dollars, if

196

funds for special projects such as the Nippert Memorial Library and the edu-cation department are included. Income has increased from $19,000 a fewshort years ago to $135,000 at the present time.

As the quality, capacity, and vigor of the Society have become recognized,more and more has been expected of it. Collections are pouring in and mustbe processed. A $30,000 microfilming project must be undertaken in con-nection with the gift by the University of Kentucky of a complete file of theCincinnati Times-Star, dating from 1840. To properly assess, restore, andcatalog the material on German Methodism will take at least five years. TheSeasongood papers represent another major challenge as do many other recentacquisitions such as the papers of Mr. John Hollister. Fortunately we havebeen able to obtain money grants in connection with many of these collections,but only by the most careful management of people and resources can theproper goals be accomplished.

At the same time the Society is determined to assist in every way possibleindividuals, corporations, and other groups having related purposes. We fur-nished quarters for the Miami Purchase Association and the Fountain SquareSculpture Fund when they first began, and we have assisted the ScienceCenter, now defunct; the Harriet Beecher Stowe House, which is the responsi-bility of the Ohio Historical Society; and others, as resources of theSociety permit.

The three-year drive for $1,400,000 in endowment funds which was begunin April 1970 is scheduled to end in the spring of 1973. We have not yet metour goal, and unless it is attained, both the programs and the staff of theSociety will have to remain curtailed. Therefore, I urge all members who havenot already done so to contribute to our fund drive and to actively recruitnew members for the Society. More than two-thirds of our operating incomecomes from membership dues and income from the investment of ourendowment fund.

A few words about our fine staff are in order. Miss Laura Chace, appointedlibrarian in November 1971, has done an excellent job during the past year.She has instituted a review of all areas of the library and has drawn up guide-lines for future needs. In addition to her duties as librarian, she has assumedthe position of Acting Director of the Society since the resignation of RichardW. Haupt as director in April 1972.

Mrs. Elmer S. Forman has seen the number of reference questions increasedramatically, yet she has answered all of them and overseen the main readingroom with her usual capable skill and good humor. Mrs. Carolyn B. LeaMond,while still supervising education activities and the summer Historymobile,has assumed responsibility for the picture collection, another area of thelibrary which is increasing rapidly.

Since she came to the Society in August 1971, Mrs. J. Robie Vestal has begunto catalog the Louis and Ida E. Nippert Memorial Library and Museum of

197

German Methodism. She has also assumed greater responsibility in the man-uscript department as a whole, working with Mrs. Ronald D. Shepherd, Mrs.Christopher F. Neely, and Theodore D. Appel.

Other hard-working staff members include Mrs. Art F. Meyer, who catalogsan ever-increasing number of books, periodicals, and maps; Mrs. William L.Stegeman, registrar, who accessions all gifts from our many generous donors;Mrs. John W. Archea, who serves both as library secretary and bookkeeper;and Ken White, who as page performs many different jobs and is kept con-stantly on the run. To ease the secretarial load, two part-time receptionistsand typists have been added.

Mrs. Steven R. Cohen joined our staff as Public Relations and Art Assistantthis summer. She replaces Mrs. Marian Knight, who left the Society in January1972 to join the public relations staff of the Children's Hospital MedicalCenter. Mrs. Cohen is an extremely well educated, talented, and innovativeperson. We welcome her enthusiastically to our staff.

Mrs. James M. Zimmerman has edited the Bulletin for the past year and hasput out four attractive issues. With this combined issue, Fall-Winter 1972,we have brought our publication in line with the calendar, and henceforth wewill produce four separate issues each year —Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

No listing of the staff would be complete without the name of Mr. Vincent J.Horak, our building superintendent, who is retiring at the end of 1972. I ampleased to report, however, that he will continue to work part-time on specialprojects. Over the past eight years, Mr. Horak has completed many extra tasksfor the Society. For example, during the past year, in addition to his regularduties, he constructed a monumental jigsaw puzzle for the summerHistorymobile.

The work of the Society is also carried out by volunteers who work in thelibrary and as speakers for various groups. We are grateful to them for theirassistance. The Women's Association, under Mrs. Frank T. Hamilton, is alsohelpful, and again this year has produced another in its series of historic tiles.

I am grateful for the support of the Board of Trustees of the Society, whohave worked with me to solve our financial problems and to define our goals.During the year we suffered the loss of Ernest I. Miller, but the Board wasstrengthened by the addition of three new members —Dr. Walter C. Langsam,James R. Hunt, and Frederick A. Hauck, who generously underwrote last year'ssuccessful Centennial Eve Ball at the Probasco house.

With expanded membership and fresh enthusiasm and a most eminentlyqualified and experienced new director, the Society will move forward withintegrity, competence, and skill in the accomplishment of the goals for whichit was founded and will strive to maintain its reputation as one of the finestlocal historical agencies in the nation.

Report of the Education CoordinatorJuly 1971-June 1972

The activities of the education department have been restricted during thepast fiscal year by a very limited budget. Thus this report, unlike those ofprevious years, does not contain a listing of new publications or audio-visualproductions. Most of my time has been spent working with the Society'spicture collection, whose size and volume of use has increased rapidly inrecent years. Existing educational materials have been distributed to areaschools upon request.

One facet of the education program which is still carried on vigorously isthe summer Historymobile, a project which has operated since 1969. Thispast year it was expanded and improved under a grant from the NationalEndowment for the Humanities.

The operation of the Historymobile is the result of the cooperation andefforts of many levels of government and of private and business interests. Theprivately-funded Cincinnati Historical Society provided the supervision andprogram for the unit. From the Cincinnati Public Recreation Commission'sDivision of Creative and Performing Arts, under Supervisor Henry Stock, camethe staff, the use of the truck, and scheduling of the unit. The Division of the111 and Handicapped of the Recreation Commission provided scheduling forthe morning programs. The senior and junior classes of Instructor VincentAlvarez of the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture andArt drew up designs for the Historymobile and made proposals for programsto be given. The Formica Corporation, Union Camp Corporation, and theArrow Blue Company contributed certain construction materials and pictureblowups for use by the Historymobile. The basic unit was built by VincentHorak and Roger Hodgeman of the Society staff. Funds for its constructionwere granted by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The daily Historymobile program was worked out by two college students,Michael Kneu and Robert Mecklenborg, under the supervision of Gerald R.Toner and Carolyn B. LeaMond of the staff of The Cincinnati Historical Society.Two young people from the Neighborhood Youth Corps assisted in the presen-tation of the program at playgrounds.

The Historymobile design was a thirty-three piece puzzle representing agiant, 19 feet by 24 feet, map of Cincinnati, showing suburbs, rivers, hilltops,and valleys. By adding different toys and tape markings, the puzzle board wasadaptable to varying games which could show transportation, forts, majorstreets, and landmarks in Cincinnati. During the past summer, the landmarkgame was used. Other games will be used in coming summers. The programincorporated the assembling of the map puzzle and the use of wooden modeltoys of Cincinnati landmarks, designed and made by Mr. Horak. It was presented

202

to 1,846 children at sixty-one play areas. Both Cincinnati newspapers carriednews items and picture features on the Historymobile presentations.

Again this year, a morning program for resident care institutions was pre-sented by the Historymobile crew. The program, a slide talk on Cincinnatihistory, was shown at thirty-six locations to 993 viewers, most of whom weresenior citizens.

The children's Historymobile project must be considered, literally, history"in the field." It is presented in playgrounds to children, often fresh from theswimming pool or the ball field, who come to be stimulated and educated byan informal, fun program on Cincinnati history. Their enthusiastic response,the cooperation and interest from many diverse agencies, and the success ofthe program encourage the belief that a complete education effort by TheCincinnati Historical Society should be reinstated to provide not justa summer Historymobile but a comprehensive year-round program for areaschools and organizations.

Report of the LibrarianJuly 1971-June 1972

An annual report serves the dual purposes of providing a resume of activitiesto the membership and enabling the staff to measure the successes and failuresof its endeavors. As we pause to reflect on the activities of the past year, we seemore clearly our future goals and direction.

Library

The collection of the library includes manuscripts, books, periodicals, news-papers, photographs, engravings, paintings, drawings, and maps. Althoughsome additions to these collections are purchased by the Society, about tentimes as many acquisitions are gratefully received as gifts from generous mem-bers and friends. Among the donations received this year were 1078 volumesof Cincinnati newspapers, including the complete file of the Cincinnati Times-Star (1840-1958) from the Margaret I. King Library of the University of Ken-tucky; an oil painting by Henri Lovie entitled "View West of Bold Face Creek:the Ohio River Valley Looking Toward Thomas Yeatman's Residence" (ca.1850), a gift of the Reverend Roger Ailing; and manuscripts, pictures, books,and miscellaneous memorabilia from the estate of Dr. Marie Nast Wherry.Through the courtesy of Mr. Louis Nippert and the Bethesda Hospital andDeaconess Association, the Louis and Ida E. Nippert Memorial Collection ofGerman Methodism in America and Europe came to The Cincinnati HistoricalSociety library as a deposit. Another large gift was the Koch Diaries andScrapbooks, a bequest of Herbert Koch, a lifelong resident of Cincinnati and aformer member of The Board of Trustees and interim director of The Cin-cinnati Historical Society. Containing a daily record of local and nationalevents, the collection consists of 132 linear feet of material dated 1881-1971.These are but a few of the many important gifts to the Society during thepast year. All donors to the library collections are listed after the statisticalsummary which follows this report.

Requests for reference assistance have increased greatly over the past year.This may be attributed to a renewed interest in local history and in Cincinnati'spast—an interest which is shared by both scholars and ordinary citizens whoare turning to the study of their local history to provide a sense of order andpermanence in our fast-changing society. To answer this increased volume ofreference questions, The Cincinnati Historical Society library contains ex-cellent source materials relating to the nineteenth century. However, moreattention should be given to the collection of comparable twentieth centurymaterials, an area which we hope to expand during the coming year.

Adequate preservation of all our collections, a concern mentioned in each

206

annual report since 1967, will be one of our goals for the coming year. Thebook, print, map, and newspaper collections are most in need of rebinding andrestoration. This is indeed an expensive undertaking, but necessary if we areto preserve our valuable holdings from disintegration.

Our staff of eighteen people is complemented by a corps of dedicated volun-teers. During the last year, eleven men and women assisted with projects in allareas of the library. The statistical summary at the conclusion of this reportgives a more complete breakdown of the work done in the library.

Public Affairs and Community Awareness

The Society exists not only to collect and preserve materials about Cincinnatiand Southwestern Ohio but also to disseminate information about the historyof this area. Our quarterly Bulletin, talks to interested groups of citizens bystaff and members of the Society, and our monthly lecture series serve toaccomplish this function. During the 1971-72 series, 1975 people attended ourseven evening slide programs.

In one of our largest community activities last year, the Society, with theassistance of a city-wide committee headed by Lloyd Baldwin, spearheaded thepreparation for a FountainFest held on October 16, 1971, to commemoratethe 1 ooth anniversary of the creation of the Tyler Davidson Fountain. Theunveiling of the newly restored fountain to a crowd of thousands began a day-long festival, co-chaired by William S. Rowe and Frederick A. Hauck, onFountain Square. On October 15, the eve of the FountainFest, Society mem-bers attended a Centennial Eve Celebration at Oakwood, the Clifton mansionbuilt by Henry Probasco, who gave the fountain to the city in 1871. TheWomen's Association of the Society, under the able leadership of Mrs. FrankT. Hamilton and Mrs. William A. Altemeier, was in charge of invitations, andwe are grateful to Mr. and Mrs. William S. Nagel, the present owners of Oak-wood, for opening their home to the Society for this gala event.

The annual celebration of Cincinnati's birthday took place on December28, 1971, in the Hauck Room of the Society. Honored guests included MayorThomas A. Luken, Vice-Mayor William A. Chenault, and donors to the So-ciety's collections during the previous year. New acquisitions, which attractedTV cameras as well as interested onlookers, were displayed.

The Society's education program, an important part of our effort to buildcommunity awareness of Cincinnati history, was highlighted by the summerhistorymobile project. Funded by a grant from the National Endowment forthe Humanities, staffed by three employees of the Public Recreation Com-mission, and coordinated by Mrs. Carolyn B. LeaMond, the historymobile wasa means by which nearly 3000 children and adults were provided with a greaterknowledge of the city's past. Please refer to the Report of the Education De-partment for details of this and other education programs.

The Calendar of Events preceding this report gives a complete listing of theSociety's public activities during the past year.

I wish to thank the many individuals, businesses, organizations, and foun-dations who have supported the Society and its interests and programs, andto express my sincere appreciation to The Board of Trustees, the staff, andthe volunteers without whom the work of the Society would not be possible.
