Abstract:

The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is the premier center of African American and Afro-diasporic studies. Yet, as the literary scholar Vanessa Valdés argues, we know little of the center’s namesake and his drive to collect and establish a renowned archive that emphasized the history, experience, and culture of African descended peoples and communities. Employing Valdés’s Diasporic Blackness: The Life and Times of Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, this essay explores the politics of Afro-diasporic collection, archive, visibility, and futurity.

Abstract:

In recent years anthropologists and literary critics, most importantly George Stocking Jr. (1983), James Clifford and George E. Marcus (1986), and Clifford Geertz (1987), have led the way to a closer reading of the writings of early anthropologists and a fuller exploration of the intellectual climates in which they were working. As the founder of African studies in this country, Melville J. Herskovits is of considerable importance in terms of related scholarship in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Although an anthropologist by training, Herskovits had a major impact on the development of African s

Several libraries in New York City have exceptionally rich resources for the study of relations between African Americans and Jewish Americans. The holdings of and access to these collections are discussed; some sources in other parts of the U.S. are mentioned as well. The most important collection is in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, The New York Public Library. Besides books, there is a vast Clipping File, the unique Kaiser Index, manuscript collections, and some audio and visual materials.

The Taxonomic Collections Center of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (CCT-UFMG) has 223,653 insects catalogued, of which about 6,500 are beetles (Coleoptera). Most insects in the collection are from the southeastern region of Brazil. The collection also includes specimens from other regions and from other countries. A checklist of the flat-faced longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) deposited in the CCT-UFMG is presented. The available exemplars were identified using the literature or direct comparison with individuals from other scientific collections. The CCT-UFMG contains 254 spec

ABSTRACT: This paper discusses some correspondence between Robert Schomburgk (1804–1865) and Adolphe Brongniart (1801–1876). Four letters survive, containing information about the history of Schomburgk's collection of fishes and plants from British Guiana, and his herbarium specimens from Dominican Republic and southeast Asia. A study of these letters has enabled us to confirm that Schomburgk supplied the collection of fishes from Guiana now in the Laboratoire d'Ichtyologie, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. The letters of the German naturalist are an interesting source of informati

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In 1920 Catherine Latimer was the first Black librarian hired by the New York Public Library (NYPL). At the 135th Street Branch Latimer supported and collected the works of young Black writers and thinkers, helping to usher in the Harlem Renaissance. An archive of letters from that era demonstrates how closely she worked with the likes of Alain Locke and Claude McKay. Latimer also conferred with Black bibliophiles and librarians, including the library’s head curator, Arturo Schomburg, under whose leadership she managed the Division of Negro Literature, History and Prints.

Abstract:

Nietneria is the only neotropical genus of Nartheciaceae, represented by two species: N. corymbosa and N. paniculata. The collections of the brothers Moritz Richard and Robert Hermann Schomburgk in the Guiana Shield are the first records of special value for Botany, Zoology, and Mineralogy in this region. The brothers carried out an important set of botanical collections for the Guyana flora, in different periods and expeditions, which were organized in different series. Among these, the “Robert’s second collection series (Rob. ser. 2)”, corresponding to the period from 1841 to 1844, which res

Abstract:

Since the last complete revision of Psammisia (Ericaceae: Vaccinieae) in 1932 many new species, synonyms, and local treatments have been published and genetic information is slowly becoming available. This paper is based on field and herbarium observations made over a period of nearly 50 years and helps to clarify questions of typification and species relationships towards an updated revision. Emphasis is herein given to species occurring in Peru and Bolivia for which a key to the species occurring in that region is made available for the first time.

Abstract:

The order Odonata (Insecta) is composed of aquatic insects popularly known as dragonflies and damselflies. Members of this order are closely linked to the conservation status of their habitats; however, the Wallacean shortfall in some regions still remains high. The Volta Grande do Xingu region is known to have high endemism of some groups, such as Actinopterygii (fish), which can be applied to other groups that do not yet have their fauna known at the site, such as the order Odonata. The Wallacean shortfall and constant anthropic changes (for example, the construction of the Belo Monte Hydroe

Based on extensive interviews with museum curators and directors, this chapter curates the curators. It identifies curatorial networks, strategies, and practices that shape the narratives used in assembling collections and mounting exhibitions. Curatorial networks demonstrate the relevance of a nodal theory of museums and the ways in which curators are able to organize exhibitions. Interviews include representatives of the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, the Fowler Museum, the Musée de l’Homme, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the African Museum Casa del Rey Moro
