The 2009–10Annual Reportof the Newberry

Partners in a LegacyLike the humanities themselves, the Newberry introduces people to those they have never met, places they have never visited, and ideas that may have never crossed their minds. By showing how others have lived and thought about life through its world-renowned collections, the Newberry plays a role in helping people decide what is important in life.

In this annual report, we will ref lect on the successes of the past year, and introduce you to a few of those who, along with you, have made them possible. Some are connected by their quest for their family histories. Some find common ground in their fierce dedication to disseminating knowledge. Some consider the Newberry their second home, a kind of intellectual dwelling place. Most have gotten to know each other only because the Newberry brought them together.

All—including you—are our partners in an enduring legacy, committed as it has been from the start to connecting people with literature, history, the arts, other humanities disciplines, and one another.

Edmund Burke famously wrote of society as a partnership, across many generations, “not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.” The Newberry constitutes such a partnership, too. From its founders in the late nineteenth century to today, farsighted men and women have worked here to assemble and preserve cultural treasures, for the use of scholars and other readers across 123 years, and for those who have not yet used the Newberry but someday will.

This annual report looks at one important dimension of the Newberry partnership between supporters and users who together continue to build a remarkable cultural legacy. Throughout this report you will find accounts of the ways in which donors and volunteers make it possible for readers to gain access to books, manuscripts, maps, and bibliographical and other services, and how the work of Fellows, genealogists, and students stimulates supporters to help. These are compelling stories about the value of the Newberry, and about how our partners in a grand, ever-growing legacy keep increasing that value with every passing year.

It gives me great pleasure to observe in my own report that the Newberry year ended June 30, 2010 was an exceptionally good one.

On the financial front, not only did investing conditions enable our endowment to recapture a good deal of the ground lost between late 2007 and early 2009, but spending from the endowment dropped markedly. A lower draw on the endowment, essential for the long-term well-being of the institution, became possible because of markedly lowered operating costs and a major increase in unrestricted fundraising. The difficult cost-cutting actions taken by the Newberry in 2008-09 have reduced structural operating costs by approximately $1 million, or close to 10 percent of our budget.

Meanwhile, the annual fund grew by 27 percent in one year, with 18 percent more donors overall. Coming on the heels of three straight years of annual fund increases, these 2009-10 results mean that our annual fund has grown 56 percent across the last four years. Our supporters have rallied

to our cause in what they know are challenging times for all cultural and educational organizations. Their giving has made it possible for us to keep services to readers at the high levels expected of the Newberry, while allowing our endowment to rebuild itself after the stock market collapse. I am particularly grateful for the splendid response to the two-for-one challenge issued by a trustee, which generated $140,000 in giving by non-trustees during the months of May and June. This, by itself, was a notable partnership of the past year.

Although we have continued to be cautious about spending on acquisitions during this time of financial retrenchment, I am delighted to report that we received important gifts of books during the last year. Roger S. Baskes gave us approximately 1,000 volumes from his world-class collection of atlases and travel books. Another large bloc gift, the collection of Walter and Marie Schiller, came from Esther Porto, including early printings from Lyon, France. Nothing built our collection more or faster in 2009-10 than two cataloging and conservation projects involving materials already in our building. The incorporation of the McCormick Theological Seminary Collection into the Newberry advanced very far: 1,200 volumes were conserved and 1,300 titles cataloged. Meanwhile, we began work on cataloging 22,000 French pamphlets from four separate collections. When completed, this massive project will make the Newberry the primary destination in North America for work on French Revolutionary-era pamphlet literature.

Programmatically, the past year long will be remembered for our two Lincoln exhibitions. The national bicentennial show, “With Malice Toward None,” visited us from the Library of Congress in the fall, and it was paired with our own exhibition, “Honest Abe of the West.”

Together, the two drew some 25,000 visitors. We continued to reach a large number of life-long learners: nearly 1,400 people participated in our 154 seminars, and more than 1,250 teachers from the Chicago area participated in professional development programs here, including major initiatives sponsored by the History Channel and the National Endowment for the Humanities. A large group of Fellows, 12 for the full year and 46 for shorter terms, gave added vibrancy to the Newberry’s intellectual community, as did the student and professorial participants in our two semester-long undergraduate programs.

For all of these reasons, the Newberry thrived as a physical destination in 2009-10. But we are also a digital destination, and to make certain that our virtual visitors have the most effective experience, we began two years of work to redesign our website. A year from now, thanks to funding from a Chicago foundation, we will have a web presence much improved in structure and navigability, and with a more uniquely Newberry look and feel, including a new logo. That logo appears for the first time in public on the cover of this annual report.

None of these institutional accomplishments would have been possible without a smart, hard-working staff, a dedicated and generous Board of Trustees, some 500 determined volunteers, and thousands of caring financial supporters. To all of them, and especially to our retiring Chairman, Roger Baskes, I say a hearty thank you for assuring through their partnership that the Newberry could have such a successful year.

As President David Spadafora has observed in his report, the 2009-10 year was a very fine one for the Newberry. It is a real pleasure to report to our community that we accomplished much during the 12 months ended June 30, 2010, and to thank our supporters for making those achievements possible through their partnership with the institution.

Two years ago, like many other cultural and educational organizations at that time, the Newberry faced great challenges. Working closely together, in a healthy and productive partnership of their own, the Trustees and the

staff mapped a way forward in difficult times—a way to continue to meet successfully the terms of the Newberry’s mission, but as a somewhat leaner and more focused institution. The rapid development of an intelligent and exciting strategic plan helped us to respond quickly to the financial crisis and economic downturn. Several months later, a master plan for the Newberry’s facilities gave us realistic goals for building improvement that will serve our readers and other visitors well for decades to come.

What has happened since that work gives us ever stronger encouragement to believe that we can meet our goals. Last year’s fundraising results far surpassed our expectations, with nearly 1,800 donors stepping forward to support the annual fund of this very special organization. Overall, they upped their unrestricted giving by more than one-quarter, an unheard of year-to-year increase, thereby helping the annual fund to reach its highest level ever. Members of the Board of Trustees, and several other friends, completed a two-year drive to raise a special Library Resources Fund of $1 million, which helped to offset reduced spending from the endowment after the financial markets declined. Other donors made a series of substantial commitments for major projects, from redesigning our website to cataloging large, important collections of books and pamphlets. This kind of support has allowed us, despite the times, to be a research library very much on the move.

That fact was in evidence any day in the past year. I was at the Newberry many times in 2009–10, and each visit reconfirmed my longstanding amazement about how much goes on here. From our lobby to our conservation laboratory on the fifth f loor, volunteers were hard at work, making visitors feel welcome, selling books at Book Fair, helping to catalog maps, creating “finding” aids for manuscripts, and making boxes

for fragile books. Groups of teachers were in our classrooms, learning from experts about the best ways of engaging their students in history or literature. Fall, winter, and spring, undergraduates pursued special seminars that could not be taught anywhere else because they depend on our collections and our expert staff. Lectures and panel discussions occurred frequently in afternoon and early evening hours. Our four research centers hummed with projects funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and other organizations, and with collaborative activities involving many of the most important universities in the country. And every day in the reading rooms, with the help of curators and professional librarians, readers quietly explored materials as diverse as late medieval manuscripts, online genealogical resources, rare seventeenth-century books, and early twentieth-century American sheet music.

Each of these activities involves at least one partnership; many require several. The Newberry community has grown up around and f lourished because of such partnerships. In 2009-10, as in the past, donors of books and donors of funds created the context in which readers and other users could benefit from the cultural heritage preserved, and steadily enlarged, here. Research fellows from leading academic institutions could do their scholarship here because the Mellon Foundation, NEH, and individuals supported their fellowships. Volunteers harnessed their own passion and expertise to those of staff to take on assignments that would not otherwise have been possible. Other cultural organizations worked alongside us to make special public exhibitions possible. And the members of the Board of Trustees joined their time, wisdom, and treasure to the staff ’s knowledge and commitment to help run the whole enterprise.

I report to you here at the end of my term as Chairman of the Newberry’s Board of Trustees. For a quarter of a century, I have been involved with this jewel in Chicago’s cultural crown, using its collections, volunteering in various capacities, and supporting the institution’s efforts to meet the terms of its mission. It has been an enriching, even a life-changing experience for me, and it will continue to be so in the future. Looking back and forward, I see myself as being in partnership with the Newberry, just as all of you are. I extend to each of you my sincere and hearty thanks for your partnership with this wonderful place, expressed in the many ways that the rest of this report helps to exemplify.

Roger Baskes

The Year in ReviewFrom the modern Midwest to medieval Italy, 2009-10 acquisitions, exhibitions, and initiatives helped shed light on a wide variety of developments that took place at different times during the past millennium. This last year also saw the Newberry receive a prestigious national award, launch important digital projects, and host the biggest Book Fair ever. We recall and ref lect on the year’s major achievements.

ATLAS OF HISTORICAL COUNTY BOUNDARIES

The Newberry announced the completion and full release of its digital Atlasof Historical County Boundaries, a dataset that covers every day-to-day change in the size, shape, location, name, organization, and attachment of each U.S. county and state, from the creation of the first county in 1634 through 2000. From the project’s inception in 1988 through 2000, Charles Scribner’s Sons published 19 volumes covering 24 states and the District of Columbia. Since then, the atlas has been using GIS software and has disseminated its continued research through interactive maps available on the web.

Nearly every aspect of American life can be described, analyzed, and illuminated through data gathered and organized by county or available in county records. Knowing how and when boundaries changed is often the key to finding and understanding great quantities of historical data. For example, a farm may have been in one family for many generations, but over the decades changes in county lines may have effectively moved that farm from one county to another. When looking for old family records, how does the modern genealogist know which county seat will hold great-grandmother’s marriage certificate? How does an attorney know which county seat recorded the deed to great-great-grandfather’s farm? Knowledge of changes over time in county boundaries sometimes provides the answers.

In addition, population figures are commonly aggregated at the county level, but comparing statistics from one enumeration to the next may reveal only nominal change. Was a change in the figures from census to census due to population movement or to an adjustment in the boundaries of the reporting counties, or to a combination of both?

Made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Newberry’s Atlas of Historical County Boundaries will help genealogists, geographers, historians, political scientists, attorneys, demographers, and many more find accurate county data that will greatly assist them in their research.

HISTORY OF THE HEARTLAND

Frontier to Heartland: Four Centuries in Central North America is an exciting new digital exhibition that brings four fascinating centuries of Midwestern history into schools, libraries, and homes throughout the country and around the world. The online collection uses visual elements and scholarly commentary to tell the story of the Midwest from 1600 to the present and to help illustrate global history.

There are three pathways into this collection: Perspectives, which offers essays on topics such as the region’s transformation from an area of conf lict between Europeans and Indians to the heart of modern American agriculture; Galleries, featuring photos relevant to farming, waterways, railroads, protest and free speech, and culture; and Images, which enables online visitors to browse the entire 255-image collection by title, date, or place.

OAH AWARD

The Organization of American Historians (OAH) honored the Newberry with the 2010 Friend of History Award, which is given annually to an individual who is not a professional historian, or to an institution or organization, for outstanding support of the pursuit of historical research, the public presentation of history, or the work of the OAH.

“Founded 123 years ago as a special collections and reference resource for the people of Chicago and the Midwest, the Newberry has built its global reputation by offering the general public, free of charge, access to hard-to-find books, maps, manuscripts, and other printed materials,” said OAH President Elaine Tyler May. “The OAH salutes the Newberry Library for its work in making scholarly work in U.S. history significantly more accessible to the American public, and for supporting the research and teaching of scholars of American history.”

Founded in 1907, the OAH is the largest learned society and professional organization dedicated to the teaching and study of the American past. Its

award to the Newberry comes three years after the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services recognized the Newberry with one of its national medals for distinguished service.

BOOK FAIR

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the annual Book Fair, the Newberry threw a party that included free yoga sessions, an author reading, live music, and, of course, books—more than 110,000 of

them, generously donated by dedicated supporters. Shoppers indulged their inner bibliophiles and found tremendous deals on cookbooks, music,

novels, movies, art books, children’s literature, and much, much more. The selection also included treasures such as a signed copy of Charles Schulz’s You’re On the Wrong Foot Again, Charlie Brown, an extensive Civil War collection, and a book including letters from former Illinois governor Henry Horner.

The event raised almost $140,000 for the sustenance of the Newberry’s mission, helping to provide free, public access to one of the world’s greatest research and rare books libraries.

AWARD DINNER

The Newberry proudly honored distinguished Yale historian Jonathan D. Spence with the 2010 Newberry Library Award. The world’s foremost authority on Chinese civilization and the role of history in shaping modern China, Spence specializes in a “history from below” approach, exploring the lives of everyday people, not just the prominent. A native of England, Spence began teaching at Yale in 1965 and is now Sterling Professor Emeritus of History at the university. He has been much honored for his work, and he served a term as president of the American Historical Association. Shortly after his recognition from the Newberry, Professor Spence delivered the annual Jefferson Lecture of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The Newberry Library Award recognizes outstanding achievement in the humanities, particularly in fields related to the Newberry’s collections, and is the highest honor the institution bestows.

One of the most critical elements of the Newberry’s mission is to open collections to researchers from around the world. This past year, the library was fortunate to receive major funding that enabled us to begin conserving and cataloging tens of thousands of items, thereby making key areas of our rich collections available to scholars as well as the general public.

Picture a long aisle of library shelves filled top to bottom with more than 30,000 pamphlets and journals from the French Revolution era. Because of the sheer volume of these materials, and the press of regular cataloging business, more than half have remained uncataloged for decades. But with funding from the Council on Library and Information Resources, the Newberry in 2009 launched a three-year project to

catalog 22,000 French pamphlets from four collections, dating from the sixteenth through the early nineteenth century. This project alone doubles our cataloging staff and production, and provides access to one of the Newberry’s most notable collections.

Now imagine boxes and boxes of letters, photographs, diaries, and other materials that hold multigenerational stories of wealthy, middle-class, ethnic, and rural American families. With no online cataloging or finding aids, researchers have not been able to unearth the full richness of the Newberry’s collections of family papers. Over the past two decades, the Newberry has made it a high priority to provide online access to the library’s unique American manuscript collections. Last year, the Newberry instituted History at the Country’s Crossroads: Preserving and Enhancing Access

to Family Manuscript Collections Centering on Family Life in the Midwest and Chicago. Through generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Newberry completed the first year of a two-year project that will provide online access to 56 collections representing and illustrating the lives of American families in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

As part of the Newberry’s longstanding commitment to the study of early modern religion, the library continues to conserve and catalog the more than 7,000 volumes from the McCormick Theological Seminary rare book collection. Support from the B.H. Breslauer Foundation is enabling the library to catalog and preserve American and European imprints that enhance our collection strengths in religion, history, and culture. Last year, conservators treated nearly 1,200 items from the collection, while librarians prepared catalog records for 1,300 titles and readied the materials for the shelves. The Newberry also moved thousands of books to make space in the stacks for the new collection; took digital images for promotion of the collection on the website; and served readers using the collection. Staff from throughout the library worked together to promote the collection during library colloquia, seminars, and group presentations.

These three examples illustrate that the untapped research potential of the collections is immense. By getting such important materials on the shelves and into the hands of scholars, teachers, students and other researchers, the Newberry is paving the way to discovery.

To mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of President Lincoln, the Newberry partnered with the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, the Library of Congress, the Chicago History Museum, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and other national and local organizations to host a series of exhibitions, programs, and musical performances.

More than 13,300 people visited the Hermon Dunlap Smith Gallery at the Newberry to see With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition, which included rarely seen treasures from the Library of Congress’s collections as well as several from the Newberry’s. The Newberry was one of five venues nationally for this traveling exhibition, organized by the Library of Congress. Charting Lincoln’s growth from prairie lawyer to pre-eminent statesman, the exhibition constituted the greatest public assemblage of objects from the Library of Congress’s Lincoln collections in history, including letters, photographs, political cartoons, period engravings, speeches, and artifacts. The exhibition also featured the actual grammar book studied by Lincoln during his boyhood, the notes he prepared in advance of his debates with U.S. Senator Stephen Douglas, and his personal scrapbook of newspaper clippings about the debates.

Made possible by the generous support of Union Pacific Corporation and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald F. Fitzgerald, Sr., the exhibition addressed the monumental challenges of Lincoln’s presidency: slavery and emancipation, the dissolution of the Union, and the Civil War. It also revealed Lincoln the man, whose thoughts, words, and actions were deeply affected by personal experiences and pivotal historic events. By placing Lincoln’s words in a historical context, the exhibition provided visitors a deeper understanding of how remarkable Lincoln’s decisions were for their time and why his words continue to resonate today.

The Newberry also drew from its own rich collections of Lincoln materials to create an accompanying but separate gallery exhibition and an integrated pair of web exhibitions.

Lincoln’s Legacy

Honest Abe of the West included more than two dozen objects from the Newberry collections as well as items on loan from the Alfred Orendorff Collection. This exhibition, on display in the R. R. Donnelley Gallery across the lobby from With Malice Toward None, examined several phases of Lincoln’s career, telling stories of the self-educated frontier lawyer, the shrewd party leader, the warm-hearted friend, and the president whose war to save the Union began a new birth of freedom.

With funding provided by the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Newberry also collaborated with the Chicago History Museum staff to launch two continuing web exhibitions at http://lincolnat200.org.Abraham Lincoln and the West, 1809–1860, a web exhibition based on Lincoln’s 1860 autobiography written for the presidential campaign, uses maps, manuscripts, and other Newberry collection items to illustrate the conf lict over the westward expansion of slavery. The second exhibition at this site, The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, is a digitized version of the Chicago History Museum’s gallery exhibition that chronicles the fundamental changes in Lincoln’s views on slavery during his presidency.

Complementing the extraordinary dedication and generosity of collectors and individual supporters, the Newberry’s joint-acquisition program is an important part of the library’s ability to obtain and make accessible rare and important materials. Created by the Newberry in 1995, joint acquisition involves partnering with Midwestern universities and colleges to bring more original source material to the region. Since the program began, the Newberry and its partner institutions have acquired more than 25 manuscripts and rare printed books that otherwise would not be available to area scholars and residents.

Two separate 2010 joint initiatives brought important religious manuscripts to the Newberry and its partner universities.

With generous support from the B.H. Breslauer Foundation and in conjunction with the University of Notre Dame, the Newberry acquired an unusual early fourteenth-century codex originating in southern France, which contains a collection of 38 scholastic texts. Of these, only two have been edited in modern critical editions and the rest have never been printed. Those that have been identified to date are Franciscan. The most noteworthy author included is Peter John Olivi, represented by two elements of his Principia in sacram scripturam, a text that was later condemned by the Inquisition.

Born near Béziers and trained at the University of Paris, Olivi was a leader of the Spiritual Franciscans whose absolute belief in apostolic poverty led his writings to be condemned a year after his death, in 1298 (he was prominently mentioned in Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose). More than 100 manuscripts containing his works were reportedly destroyed,

so any surviving texts are exceedingly rare. The Newberry-Notre Dame acquisition is the sole known codex originating from Languedoc, where Olivi taught at the University of Montpellier and at Nîmes.

Supported by a generous gift from James Marrow and Emily Rose, the Newberry also partnered with the University of Minnesota to acquire Lives of the Holy Fathers, two manuscripts written by Domenico Cavalca, the father of Italian prose. These medieval self-help texts were spiritual guides for lay people who could read only Italian, as opposed to the Latin texts that could be read by priests and monks alone. The larger of the texts is a treatise on patience.

Volumes such as these constituted the equivalent in Italy of the books of hours and portable bibles so common in the north. The manuscripts have spent the last several months at the university as the core of an undergraduate Italian course.

These important acquisitions complement the Newberry’s rich collections of Hebrew, Greek, and Latin bibles, which constitute the most comprehensive assemblage of manuscript and printed biblical texts in the Midwest.

The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching. —Aristotle

Through its unique and creative teacher programs, the Newberry opens its doors and its world-renowned collections to help Chicago-area teachers educate hundreds of thousands of high school students in humanities subjects. Each year, more than 1,200 secondary school teachers come to the Newberry for its professional development programs, during which distinguished scholars teach seminars and lead in-depth discussions on a wide range of topics—yielding knowledge that teachers then share with their students.

During the past year, a related program, “Interpreting the American Landscape,” provided conferences for teachers from across the country with funding support from the National Endowment for the Humanities’ (NEH) Picturing America initiative. More than 100 high school teachers attended two Picturing America National School Collaboration Conferences at the Newberry in October 2009 and April 2010. The conferences included discussions with scholars, classes based on Newberry collection items, a walking tour of Chicago’s Loop, and a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago. Designed to help teachers better integrate American art into their humanities curricula, these sessions explored the role of landscape imagery in shaping national identity.

Based on the success of the national conferences, the NEH awarded the Newberry an additional grant to host a regional Picturing America school conference, which followed a similar theme and format. Teachers from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin attended the two-day conference held at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Newberry.

The Newberry’s programs for teachers are fully accredited by the Illinois State Board of Education, and those who participate earn recertification credits.

Picturing America

ProfilesEvery day, and many times each day, we at the Newberry witness fresh evidence of the high level of commitment and deep dedication of our supporters, volunteers, scholars, teachers and students, and staff. And we want to share it with you.

In the following pages, we profile just a handful of the thousands of Newberrians who help further knowledge through time, energy, scholarship, and financial support.

Newberry Trustee and neighbor Cindy Mitchell has dedicated herself to community service, giving her expertise, energy, and time to improving our city’s parks, libraries, and cultural life.

More than 20 years ago, Ms. Mitchell walked into the Newberry to help her son with a school genealogy project. Fascinated with the subject and impressed with the Newberry’s genealogy resources, Ms. Mitchell began volunteering at the library, the beginning of her long-term commitment to the institution and its mission. Over the years, Ms. Mitchell has served on a variety of institutional committees, including the Book Fair and Bughouse Square Advisory Committees; the Executive, Library Services, and Research and Education Committees of the Board of Trustees; and the D’Arcy McNickle Center Visiting Committee. She is currently the chair of Buildings and Grounds.

Ms. Mitchell recently had the pleasure of meeting Gabriel Angulo, a former reading room assistant who shares her deep interest in genealogy and has benefitted from her work on behalf of the library. Mr. Angulo later went on to get his graduate degree in Library Sciences and then to intern with Curator of Genealogy and Local History Matt Rutherford. He also has taught Newberry seminars on Mexican-American genealogy, and currently is working on a project with D’Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies Director Scott Stevens.

Twenty-five years ago, Roger Baskes walked into the Newberry to take a class, the first step in a remarkable journey of exceptional curiosity, dedication to learning, and institutional leadership.

Today, Mr. Baskes’s commitment to the Newberry and its mission resonates throughout the library. Mr. Baskes, a Newberry Trustee and the immediate past Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and his wife, Julie, have generously supported everything from computer needs and digitization to the annual fund and capital campaigns. The founder of the Newberry Society of Collectors and a member of local, national, and international cartographical organizations, Mr. Baskes also has contributed a large portion of his personal collection of atlases and travel books as well as critical resources to conserve and catalog thousands of books and other materials.

Discovering that institutional resources for staff to attend meetings and conferences were limited, the couple established the Baskes Staff Development Fund. Over the past decade, the program has enabled a substantial number of curators, center directors, and other professional staff to travel to important meetings, workshops, conferences, and training sessions.

To provide additional staff training, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation last year awarded the Newberry a special $50,000 grant. This support enabled the library to increase the digital technology capacities of its staff members and enhance their ability to generate research and learning in the humanities.

Pat Daley says she has been “chasing calligraphy” since she was 14. A long-time contributor to the Newberry, Ms. Daley has taken many classes on calligraphy and has developed a love for illustrated manuscripts from the eleventh through the thirteenth centuries. This passion led her to begin supporting the Newberry Conservation Lab, where rare and ancient manuscripts are preserved and then made available to scholars—such as Barbara Hanawalt.

Recently retired as King George III Professor of British History at Ohio State University, Ms. Hanawalt is the author of five monographs and eight edited volumes, and has held fellowships at the Rockefeller Center in Bellagio, Italy, the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, and the National Humanities Center. As a 2010 National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow, Ms. Hanawalt came to the Newberry to conduct the research for her current book project, Civic Order and Dispute Resolution in Fourteenth- and Fifteenth-Century London.

“Preservation of these rare manuscripts is critical to scholarship,” Ms. Hanawalt said. “I am grateful to Ms. Daley for her ongoing support, which enables so many of us to access the materials we need to acquire, and disseminate, knowledge.”

Headed into its 27th year, the Newberry Book Fair is a beloved Chicago event and one of the area’s largest used-book sales, with more than 120,000 mysteries, cookbooks, biographies, children’s books, romance novels, and other books available at remarkably reasonable prices. Book Fair helps further the Newberry’s mission by encouraging reading, by recycling books, and by providing important funding for a wide variety of institutional needs and initiatives—none of which would be possible without the tireless dedication of our sponsors and our more than 200 Book Fair volunteers.

Steve and Marilyn Scott are dedicated Newberrians who have contributed to the annual fund, participated in research and education seminars, and volunteered for and attended events. But the Scott Family—now three generations of it—is perhaps best-known for its unf lagging commitment to Book Fair. Both Marilyn and Steve have served as leaders of the Book Fair Committee; Steve helps sort, categorize, and pick up books throughout the year; and their daughter and grandson volunteer during the four-day event.

To keep the Scotts and the other volunteers fueled for their hard work, Newberry neighbor Whole Foods Market for several years has provided healthy snacks and lunches, as well as other support for Book Fair, including in-store promotions.

The Chicago Teachers as Scholars program offers a series of intellectually stimulating, content-based seminars led by scholars from area universities and colleges. Last year, more than 150 teachers from 54 Chicago public schools attended seminars on diverse topics such as the American literary renaissance; teaching the American Civil War; social, political, and economic exchange between Asia and Europe from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century; Daniel Burnham’s 1919 Plan of Chicago; an examination of the early professional life and presidency of Abraham Lincoln; and Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

The Newberry Library is committed to its role in public education in Chicago. Fulfilling this critical element of the library’s mission would not be possible without the longtime and generous support of the Polk Bros. Foundation. Since 1998, the foundation has helped open the Newberry collections and scholarship to hundreds of Chicago Public School teachers and, through them, to their students.
