By James CusickCurator, PK Yonge Library of Florida History

The Papers of Stetson Kennedy, firebrand activist, writer and folklorist of the American South, were officially dedicated at the University of Florida (UF) on October 22. Kennedy, best known for exposés on the Ku Klux Klan in the 1940s, attended the University of Florida in 1935 but chaffed at the demands of college classes. Instead, he joined the ranks of the New Deal-era Federal Writers Project, then preparing the American Guide Series on Florida, where he worked with Zora Neale Hurston

and Alan Lomax, learned the art of oral history, and began to speak out against the Jim Crow laws of racial discrimination.

In a life that spanned almost a century, and a writing career of some 80 years, Stetson Kennedy (1916-2011) epitomized the energy and drive of American social activism. Now his thoughts and works are preserved at UF, the school he always regarded as his alma mater, joining those of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and Zora Neale Hurston as part of the literary manuscripts of Special Collections, George A. Smathers Libraries.

Besides his association with Hurston and Rawlings, Kennedy’s writings and advocacy for social justice brought him into contact with Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Richard Wright, Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Studs Terkel, Erskine Caldwell and Florida freedom fighters Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore. Many of his books have become classics, including Palmetto Country (1942), Southern Exposure (1946) and The Klan Unmasked (1954). But it was only in the 1990s, when he was in his seventies, that accolades started to roll in, with more than 35 honors. He was

Stetson Kennedy Papers (Cont.)

inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2005.

The University of Florida commemor-ated the opening of the Stetson Kennedy Papers with an open house highlighting his work, a showing of “Soul of a People” telling the story of the Federal Writers Project and a symposium, “Stetson Kennedy: Re-Imagining Justice in the 21st Century.”

Nothing demonstrated the impact of his work better than the symposium, which opened with acclaimed Delta Blues musician Willie Green on harmonica, and Bill Foote on guitar, to a packed auditorium of about 180 at Pugh Hall. Paul Ortíz, executive director of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and UF First Lady Chris Machen provided highlights of Kennedy’s career, including his close friendship with folk singer Woody Guthrie and Kennedy’s “write in” candidacy run for office against Senator George Smathers in 1950.

Still, it was the present, not the past, that took center place in a lively panel discussion, moderated by Ben Brotemarkle, executive director of the Florida Historical Society, and featuring retired FIU professor Marvin Dunn, former director of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress Peggy Bulger and Lucy Anne Hurston, author and niece of literary luminary Zora Neale Hurston. In a program that ranged in theme from the need to vote to the basis of social compassion, all three noted scholars addressed issues close to Kennedy’s heart. The auditorium fell silent when

Marvin Dunn, recounting the lynching of Claude Neal in Jackson County, Florida, in 1934, proceeded to name the men responsible, saying their names had remained secret for too long. But he quickly added that it is the present, not the past, that should concern us.

“Those people who did that are dead,” he said “No one alive today is responsible for those actions. Whites need to lose their guilt and blacks their resentments over what people in the past did so that we can confront what happened… Because Stetson Kennedy’s career should make us mindful not to think that we are now too civilized, too generous, too kind, to do evil. We are just this far away ‘– squeezing his thumb and forefinger paper thin – ‘from choosing to make some other group outcast and a target of our outrage.”

Shortly after, in answer to a question about the legacy of Kennedy’s generation of activists, Lucy Anne Hurston told the audience, “Things don’t start over each generation. We stand on the shoulders of giants. But if you are under 25 years old, you need to be very afraid. You do not know how to fight. You haven’t had to fight. People before you did your fighting for you.” All the gains of the past are fragile, she said, and there are groups who would like to abridge them or curtail them, if complacency gives them the chance to try. “You need to learn to fight,” she said.

Asked the importance of oral history in preserving people’s stories, Peggy Bulger responded that culture, because it is constantly changing, has to be constantly recorded. “In 1980,” she said, “a hundred shrimp boats put out from Fernandina every day. Last year there were eight.” That’s an example of a traditional way of life now disappearing, she said. “But new traditions and new folk cultures are also constantly being made.”

Sandra Parks, Kennedy’s widow, concluded the evening with thanks to UF President Bernie Machen and First Lady Chris Machen for their enthusiasm in bringing Kennedy’s

collection “full circle” to UF. But her special heros, she said, were Dean Judith Russell of the University of Florida library system and Dean William A. Garrison of the University of South Florida (USF) library system. USF, she noted, took in some 52 boxes of Kennedy’s materials in 1996, at a time when the materials were bursting the seams of his rustic house at Beluthahatchee, Florida, often at the mercy of Florida’s climate.

“I’m not sure those materials would have survived without USF,” she said. Now she is doubly grateful, as Deans Russell and Garrison agreed to transfer the USF material to UF. It will be united with the 70 to 90 boxes of materials donated through the Stetson Kennedy Trust, to become the major encompassing collection of Kennedy’s works, published and unpublished, as well as of a wealth of audio and audiovisual recordings.

“I am profoundly grateful to Deans Garrison and Russell for making this possible,” said Parks. Further enhancing the collection at UF are microfilm copies of papers held at Georgia State University, the Schomberg Center for Research in Black Culture, and the University of North Carolina. Across town, the Civic Media Center holds Kennedy’s personal library.

Events were co-sponsored by the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History/Stewards of Florida History at the George A. Smathers Libraries, the UF Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere Rothman Endowment and the Civic Media Center.

“There are so many intellectual and documentary connections that can be made between Stetson Kennedy and our existing collections. The value of the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Papers and the Zora Neale Hurston Papers increase exponentially with the addition of the Kennedy material.”

The University of Florida prepares to celebrate the Panama Canal 2014 centennial

Hans Wijn, former director of the Nationaal Baggermuseum, Sliedrecht Netherlands, reassembled the 38-ft. model of the Panama Canal in Smathers Library, Room 1A. Library staff and volunteers assisted Dr. Wijn.

The libraries of the University of Florida form the largest information resource system in the state of Florida and include seven libraries. Six are in the system known as the George A. Smathers Libraries, and one (Legal Information Center) is attached to the law school’s administrative unit. Over the past 100 years, faculty and librarians have built hundreds of specialized collections, now totaling more than five million volumes, printed in practically every written language by publishers throughout the world.

The George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida include specialized collections in science, architecture, art, history, languages, music and health sciences. The collections cover all areas of contemporary knowledge, from agriculture to zoology and from philosophy to history. The libraries serve all of the university’s faculty and students, but each has a special mission to be the primary support of specific colleges and degree programs.

FAL L 2013 Chapter One 9

Through its Retrospective Dissertation Scanning Program, the University of Florida (UF) is building a digital collection of approximately 12,000 dissertations written by PhD graduates from 1934-2006. In 2007 UF began requiring doctoral degree candidates to submit dissertations in a digital format, while those from earlier years were primarily available in print or microfilm. The current online submission process ensures that research is made available in a timely manner to as wide an audience as possible, and this project will make a more comprehensive set of dissertations available online. The Digital Services Department of the George A. Smathers Libraries is contacting authors and copyright holders of UF dissertations from 1934-2006 with e-mails, letters and postcards, to inform them of the project. There is no cost to authors and copyright

holders and copyright remains with them. The goal is to enable access to the past scholarship by making all UF dissertations available electronically in the Institutional Repository at UF (IR@UF) at http://ufdc.ufl.edu/ufetd.

Dissertations are commonly used as the basis for research and are popular requests from other libraries and their patrons. “We are pleased to bring this important scholarly material to researchers,” said Dean of University Libraries Judith Russell. “The doctoral dissertations at the University of Florida represent a large amount of unique intellectual content and online access to the dissertations that were previously only available in print or microfilm means this research can now be viewed and read by scholars and students around the world.”

Of the 12,078 dissertations submitted between 1934 and 2006, 5,220 have

been digitized, with more being added every day. After the print dissertations have been digitized, a physical copy will remain in the University Archives. To view the dissertations already online or search for a person’s name go to http://ufdc.ufl.edu/ufetd.Dissertations by authors who cannot be located through a search process will be digitized and remain available electronically unless the author or copyright holder chooses to “opt out” of public access to the work. Electronic versions will be retained for preservation purposes even if they are removed from public access. Updates on dissertation status within the project are also available. Authors can find dissertation status or “opt out” of public access at http://uflib.ufl.edu/mydissertation or contact Christy Shorey directly at [email protected] or (352) 273-2831.

Wing of National Archives funds digitizing 19th century diaries and lettersBy James CusickCurator, PK Yonge Library of Florida History

A grant award from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) will allow 38,000 pages (18,000 are online so far)of original 19th-century memoirs, diaries and letters housed in Special Collections to go online over the next 18 months. The project, “Pioneer Days in Florida” (http://ufdc.ufl.edu/pioneerdays) features easy-to-manipulate digital versions of some

of the Libraries’ rarest and most fragile materials, including an English women’s memoir about the American Revolution, an illustrated pocket

diary from the Second Seminole War, John Lee Williams’ illustrated second edition of Territory of Florida, left unpublished at the time of his death in 1856 and several travel accounts of

Florida in the 1870s. The project will open online access to about 50% of the Libraries’ total holdings in 19th-century manuscripts. Folded into the project will be Civil War letters, already online at “Florida and the Civil War” (http://ufdc.ufl.edu/wbts) and print versions of many items.

First to go up were the diaries of Otis Keene, a Florida business man and Union sympathizer during the Civil War, who had to move out of state after being threatened for his pro-Union views. An 1865 diary entry gives an account of the atmosphere in Washington on the night of President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The Ormond Family Papers, running from the end of Florida’s colonial period through the 19th century are also already online. There is a “mystery item” – a handwritten historical romance novel set in Jacksonville, by an unknown authoress, who probably lived in or visited the city sometime in the first decade of the 20th century.

This is the second time the library has won a significant grant from NHPRC. “America’s Swamp” (http://ufdc.ufl.edu/swamp), funded in 2009, focused on putting up major collections related to the Everglades. The agency is enthusiastic about “Pioneer Days in Florida,” which will be featured in its 2013 annual report.

Leaves from an unpublished version of the 19th centurywork Territory ofFlorida by the writerand naturalist John Lee Williams, to be included in the digital project “Pioneer Days in Florida.”

By Patrick ReakesChair, Humanities and Social Sciences Library (Library West)

The George A. Smathers Libraries were recently awarded funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to digitize approximately 100,000 pages of historic newspapers. The $325,000 NEH grant will provide funding support for the “Florida and Puerto Rico Digital Newspaper Project,” which is part of the state’s and territory’s participation in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP).

Led by project director Patrick Reakes and co-director Margarita Vargas-Betancourt, the project is a collaboration between the Smathers

Libraries and the library at the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras. It will provide a national, digital resource of historically significant newspapers published between 1836 and 1922 from Florida and Puerto Rico.

The completed project will provide free, internet-based access to newspapers that are currently available only on aging microfilm. The digitized papers will be available through the Library of Congress Chronicling America, the University of Florida Libraries Florida Digital Newspaper Library and the Biblioteca Digital Puertorriqueña at the University of Puerto Rico.

In support of the award, Dr. James Cusick, curator of the P.K. Yonge

Library of Florida History at the University of Florida, wrote: “This project strengthens and enhances the University of Florida’s existing database of online newspapers. It ensures more complete coverage of the 19th century for Florida while laying a strong groundwork for digital versions of expanded newspaper coverage that occurred as Florida entered its first major boom period of development, population growth and expansion in the first two decades of the 20th century.”

63 years of The Jewish Floridian newspaper now freely accessible onlineBy Rebecca JeffersonHead, Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica

Thanks to an award of $21,753 in October 2012 from the Florida Depart-ment of State, Division of Library and Information Services, the George A. Smathers Libraries have now completed the conversion of 127 microfilm reels of The Jewish Floridian newspaper to digital format. The results can be found in the Libraries’ Ethnic Newspapers from Florida database: http://ufdc.ufl.edu/l/ethnicnews. This new database features 22 newspaper titles, including The Jewish Floridian along with African American newspapers like the Florida Sentinel Bulletin. Other ethnic newspapers currently located in the main Florida Digital Newspaper Library (http://ufdc.ufl.edu/fdnl1) will soon be added to the site for ease of access.

An online presentation describing the history and background of this newspaper along with other ethnic newspapers in Florida has been created (http://seflin.adobeconnect.com/p7yt5wgca43/) and includes a tutorial on how to access the collections. Viewers are encouraged to complete a short survey to give feedback at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GSQFW6K.

The project is a collaboration between the Smathers Libraries, the Jewish Museum of Florida, the Broward County Public Library System, the Miami-Dade Public Library System and the Palm Beach County Library System.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. Through grant making, policy development and research, IMLS helps communities and individuals thrive through broad public access to knowledge, cultural heritage and lifelong learning.

At the Smathers Libraries we are constantly striving to meet the needs and requests of University of Florida students, faculty, staff and researchers. In doing so, there have been recent improvements in Smathers Library, which opened in 1925, and other exciting changes will be completed in the coming months.

A two story area with balcony off of the Grand Reading Room that was most recently occupied by special and area studies collections faculty and staff, is currently undergoing renovations designed by famed Miami architect Kenneth Treister. The area is slated for completion in mid-January and will become the Judaic Reading Room with a special and area studies classroom and seminar room. The interior design, artwork and furniture design is by Kenneth Treister, with generous support from Samuel Price in loving memory of his son, Todd Carroll Price. There will be an open house on Monday, January 20 from 1:00-4:00 p.m.

The Kenneth Treister Collection at the University of Florida includes architectural drawings, project files,

correspondence, publications and writings, photographs, documentary films and other materials spanning from the 1950s into the 21st century. Treister is an architect, sculptor, photographer, artist, author and lecturer. He graduated from the University of Florida in 1953 with a degree in architecture. A lifelong resident of Miami, primarily Coconut Grove, he is best known for his design and planning work in that region. The Judaic art and architecture of Treister will be on display at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art Auditorium the month of January.

The Latin American Collection Reading Room, currently located on the fourth floor, will move to spacious quarters on the third floor early in the spring semester. Renovations are currently underway and the 9,120 square foot reading and reference room with staff offices will include direct access to the book stacks and public computers, plus reference and bilingual services. The suite will be entered from the third floor stairway.

The Map and Imagery Library, currently located in a portion of the first floor of the Marston Science Library, is anticipated to move to the first floor of Smathers Library in the space previously occupied by the Smathers Library Bookstore and staff offices. The move will enable the collection to become more visible and offer additional study space for students.

The new spaces will be inviting and spacious, giving Smathers Library a friendly and updated atmosphere while retaining the character of the 88 year old building. I encourage you to visit and enjoy each of the new public spaces when completed.
