    Extractions: Making Culture Visable By Julie K. Brown “Why for a decade have the most advanced libraries been laying stock of photographs?” Charles Ammi Cutter, president of the Massachusetts Library Association, asked in 1900. “Why are we all now tumbling over one another out of eagerness to get photographs or some near approach to them?” Photography became popular with libraries late in the nineteenth century as recognition grew that the photograph was a form of information, as well as a tool for distributing visual culture. One of the institutional leaders was the Boston Public Library, which had opened a new building in Copley Square. Photographic reproductions of paintings, archi-tecture, and sculpture filled the space, enabling the people of Boston to study European cultural treasures without going any farther than downtown. The core of the collection consisted of eleven hundred photographs given in memory of Harriet H. Graupner. One photograph was a stunning representation of the Sistine Chapel produced by the nineteenth-century photomanufacturer, Adolph Braun of Dornach, Switzerland. The head of the Boston library, Herbert Putnam, wanted to obtain another thirteen thousand photographs to put Boston on equal footing with Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute. On an 1897 trip, he added 6,765 photographs, which were quickly replacing the more expensive engravings that had served as a guide to Europe’s art.

    Extractions: Order this Book now Features Search UPF home ... Contact us Early in this century, the Native Americans known as the Florida Seminoles struggled to survive in an environment altered by the drainage of the Everglades and a dwindling demand for hides. Patsy West describes how they turned to tourism and discovered another marketable commoditytheir own culture. Ironically, she shows, it was the reticent Mikasuki-speaking Seminoles (who call themselves i:laponathli :) who developed the tourist market so successfully. By the 1930s virtually all of the Florida Indian population was engaged in the business. They participated in fairs and expositions in Chicago, New York, and Canada. In large commercial Seminole villages in Miami and Ocala, the antigovernment i:laponathli: sewed brightly colored patchwork, wrestled alligators, and opened their palm-frond chickees to the public, attractions that visitors to the state have enjoyed for much of this century. Though their exhibition economy originally was condemned by the government, it provided income for families as well as a lasting cultural identity for the people. Today, the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida promote their tourist activities to worldwide markets as "cultural heritage and ecotourism."

    Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History American international expositions, like their counterparts in other countries, trace their origins to London's 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition, the first world's fair. And like it, America's expositions drew on and reshaped an earlier tradition of agricultural and mechanical fairs. Equally important to the promotion of a vision of American progress were displays of nonwhite people, frequently arranged by anthropologists from the Smithsonian Institution and universities. These so-called living ethnological exhibits of Africans, Asians, and American Indians, often arranged along exposition midways, introduced millions of Americans to Darwinian ideas about racial advance and lent legitimacy to the imperial ambitions of exposition organizers. St. Louis fair authorities, for instance, organized twelve hundred Filipinos into a "Philippines Reservation" that was intended to promote American colonial policies in that nation. Set against the backdrop of temporary but palatial "white cities" constructed on the main exposition grounds, these exhibits underscored the racist nature of turn-of-the-century American society. When the First World War caused many Americans to call into question the ideas of progress and of science and technology acting as guarantors of the nation's future, industrialists and scientists launched a cultural offensive with a new generation of world's fairs. Just as the 1926 Philadelphia Sesquicentennial Exposition was faltering owing to the failure of many exhibitors to have their displays ready for opening day, business leaders in Chicago decided to organize a fair to commemorate the centennial birth of their city and turned to the National Research Council for scientific expertise in formulating a philosophy for their exposition.

    Extractions: Centennial Exposition International Cotton Exposition Exposition Universelle Internationale ... Beyond the Midway W orld's fairs and expositions held in the United States and abroad in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries celebrated the past while introducing visions of the future. Both the past and the future were highly idealized, almost utopian. The World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893 presented what Catholic World proclaimed was a "city of realized dreams." Discussing the same exposition, Frederick Douglass stated that "the spirit of American caste made itself conspicuously felt against the educated American negro, and to this extent, the Exposition was made simply an American Exposition and that in one of America's most illiberal features." Conflicts over representation at the fairs whose dreams were realized were common but changes were made slowly if at all in an era when Jim Crow segregation laws were being established throughout the South, women did not have the right to vote, and the American empire was extended from the Caribbean to Asia.

    Extractions: One of the greatest of the World's Fairs of the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries was held in St. Louis in 1904. The Fair's organizers intended the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, as it was also called, to be educational. David Francis, president of the Fair, noted, "So thoroughly does it represent the world's civilization that if all man's other works were by some unspeakable catastrophe, blotted out, the records here established by the assembled nations would offer all necessary standards for the rebuilding of our entire civilization." Taking place just six years after the US acquired a colonial empire at the end of the Spanish-American War, the Fair's centerpiece was the Philippine Reservation, visited by nearly all of the 19 million people who attended the Fair. Philippine Scouts (NARA) The US government sponsored the Reservation in hopes of justifying its decision to keep the Philippines in a colonial relationship. Government officials wanted to show that, unlike other colonial powers, the US was not exploiting its colonies but rather selflessly bringing civilization and progress to them. By showing that the Filipinos were not yet ready for independence but would make rapid progress under American rule, the government hoped to quiet the many critics of US imperialism.
