1 Photographic Print : Albumen ; Sheet 11.5 X 15.3 Cm. | Early Baseball Card Prototype Showing Ten Members Of The Atlantics Of Brooklyn Baseball Club. From American Treasures Exhibition: "Baseball, America'S National Pastime, Evolved From A Child'S Game To An Organized Sport In The 1840S And 1850S. It Was An Urban Sport, And The First Teams Were Established In New York City And Brooklyn. By 1860 Baseball Had Replaced Cricket As The Nation'S Most Popular Ball Game. Before The Civil War, More Than One Hundred Baseball Teams Played In The New York City Area. During The War, The Number Of Teams Dwindled To Fewer Than Thirty, But Thousands Of Spectators Flocked To Games.    The Brooklyn Atlantics Dominated Early Baseball By Winning Championships In 1861, 1864, And 1865. The Atlantics Usually Crushed Their Competition, Scoring Two Or Three Times More Runs Than Their Opponents. The Game Was An Amateur Sport: According To The Rules Of The National Association Of Base Ball Players, Athletes Could Not Accept Wages To Play Ball, Although Gifts And Jobs Were Sometimes Offered As A Means Of Compensation.    Baseball Cards As We Know Them Did Not Become Commonplace Until The 1880S. This Early Prototype Is Actually An Original Photograph Mounted On A Card. At The Start Of The 1865 Season, The Atlantics Presented Opposing Teams With Framed Photographs Of The "Champion Nine." The Scottish-Born Photographer Charles H. Williamson Opened A Daguerreotype Studio In Brooklyn In 1851, Continuing To Work As A Photographer Until His Death In 1874."

Description:
This Presentation Features 147 Items Of Sheet Music That Reference Baseball From The Late Nineteenth Century To The Early Twentieth Century.  Many Of The Items Shown Represent The Earliest Widely-Distributed Baseball Collectibles; The Value Of These Objects Lies Both In Their Music And Lyrics As Well As In Their Elaborately Illustrated Covers, Which Furnish A Factual And Cultural History Of Our National Game, Its Fans And Their Heroes.</P> <P>The Paths Of Baseball And Musical Composition Have Crossed Several Times In Their Respective Evolutions. For Example, From 1895 To 1920, A Time Marked By The American Heyday Of The Parlor Piano And The Prominence Of The Popular Music Publishing Industry Called "Tin Pan Alley," It Was Common For Family And Friends To Gather Around The Piano For An Evening'S Entertainment. This National Pastime Began To Decline In The 1920'S With The Rise Of The Broadcasting And Recording Industries. Coincident With This Unique Musical Era, Baseball, The National Pastime, Experienced What Some Writers Call Its "Silver Age:" A Time When Dual Major League Status Was Re-Established, When The World Series Was Instituted, And When Ty Cobb And Babe Ruth Became The Heroes That Composers Rhapsodized About.  Indeed, It Was The Songwriters Who First Designated Baseball As "America'S National Game.

Title: Ansel Adams'S Photographs Of Japanese-American Internment At Manzanar
Object Type: Web Page
Date: 1943
Copyright: No Known Copyright Restrictions
Description:
In 1943, Ansel Adams (1902-1984), America'S Most Well-Known Photographer, Documented The Manzanar War Relocation Center In California And The Japanese-Americans Interned There During World War Ii. For The First Time, Digital Scans Of Both Adams'S Original Negatives And His Photographic Prints Appear Side By Side Allowing Viewers To See Adams'S Darkroom Technique, In Particular, How He Cropped His Prints.  Adams'S Manzanar Work Is A Departure From His Signature Style Landscape Photography. Although A Majority Of The More Than 200 Photographs Are Portraits, The Images Also Include Views Of Daily Life, Agricultural Scenes, And Sports And Leisure Activities (See Collection Highlights). When Offering The Collection To The Library In 1965, Adams Said In A Letter, "The Purpose Of My Work Was To Show How These People, Suffering Under A Great Injustice, And Loss Of Property, Businesses And Professions, Had Overcome The Sense Of Defeat And Dispair [Sic] By Building For Themselves A Vital Community In An Arid (But Magnificent) Environment....All In All, I Think This Manzanar Collection Is An Important Historical Document, And I Trust It Can Be Put To Good Use." The Web Site Also Includes Digital Images Of The First Edition Of <A Href="/Collections/Ansel-Adams-Manzanar/Articles-And-Essays/Ansel-Adamss-Book-Born-Free-And-Equal/">Born Free And Equal</A>, Adams'S Publication Based On His Work At Manzanar.</P> <Figure Class="Image-Align-Left"> <A Href="/Resource/Ppprs.00244/"><Img Src="/Collections/Static/Ansel-Adams-Manzanar/Images/Kobayashi.Gif" Alt="" /></A>  <Figcaption><A Href="/Item/2001704647">Tom Kobayashi, Landscape, South Fields, Manzanar Relocation Center</A></Figcaption> </Figure> <H3>Ansel Adams</H3> <P>Adams, America'S Most Well-Known Photographer, Is Renowned For His Western Landscapes. Best Remembered For His Views Of Yosemite And The Sierra Nevada, His Photographs Emphasize The Natural Beauty Of The Land. By Contrast, Adams'S Photographs Of People Have Been Largely Overlooked. Trained As A Musician, In 1927 Adams Made A Photograph—Monolith, The Face Of Half-Dome—That Changed His Career. This Dramatic Photograph, Along With Seventeen Others, Was Published That Same Year In Adams'S First Portfolio, Parmelian Prints Of The High Sierras. By 1940 Adams Was An Established Fine Art Photographer. His Work Had Been Exhibited In One-Person Shows At Major Museums On Both The East And West Coasts, He Served On The Board Of The Photography Department At The Museum Of Modern Art (New York City), And He Was Offered Lucrative Commercial Assignments.</P> <H3>War Relocation Program </H3> <P>After Japan Bombed Pearl Harbor On December 7, 1941, Fear Of A Japanese Invasion And Subversive Acts By Japanese-Americans Prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt To Sign Executive Order 9066 On February 19, 1942. The Act Designated The West Coast As A Military Zone From Which "Any Or All Persons May Be Excluded." Although Not Specified In The Order, Japanese-Americans Were Singled Out For Evacuation. More Than 110,000 People Of Japanese Ancestry Were Removed From Their Homes In California, Southern Arizona, And Western Washington And Oregon And Sent To Ten Relocation Camps. Those Forcibly Removed From Their Homes, Businesses, And Possessions Included Japanese Immigrants Legally Forbidden From Becoming Citizens (Issei), The American-Born (Nisei), And Children Of The American-Born (Sansei).</P> <H3>Adams'S Work At Manzanar </H3> <P>This Event Struck A Personal Chord With Adams When Harry Oye, His Parents' Longtime Employee Who Was An Issei In Poor Health, Was Summarily Picked Up By Authorities And Sent To A Hospital Halfway Across The Country In Missouri. Angered By This Event, Adams Welcomed An Opportunity In 1943 To Photograph Japanese-American Internees At The Manzanar War Relocation Center, Then Run By His Friend And Fellow Sierra Club Member, Ralph Merritt.</P> <P>Adams Had Already Completed A Number Of Assignments For The Military As A Civilian, Including Teaching Photography At Fort Ord And Photographing Yosemite'S Ahwahnee Hotel, Which Was Used As A Navy Hospital During The War. But He Was Anxious For A More Meaningful Project Related To The War Effort. Adams'S Documentation Of Manzanar Would Become His Most Significant War-Related Project.</P> <Figure Class="Image-Align-Right"><A Href="/Resource/Ppprs.00369/"><Img Src="/Collections/Static/Ansel-Adams-Manzanar/Images/Baseball.Jpg" Alt=""  /></A>  <Figcaption><A Href="/Item/2002695992">Baseball Game, Manzanar Relocation Center</A></Figcaption> </Figure> <P>During The Fall Of 1943, Adams Photographed At The Manzanar War Relocation Center, Which Was Located In Inyo County, California, At The Eastern Edge Of The Sierra Nevada Mountains Approximately 200 Miles Northeast Of Los Angeles. This Series Was A Departure From His Usual Landscape Photography. Adams Produced An Essay On The Japanese-Americans Interned In This Beautiful, But Remote And Undeveloped Region Where The Mountains Served As Both A Metaphorical Fortress And An Inspiration For The Internees. Concentrating On The Internees And Their Activities, Adams Photographed Family Life In The Barracks; People At Work– Internees As Welders, Farmers, And Garment Makers; And Recreational Activities, Including Baseball And Volleyball Games.</P> In 1944 A Selection Of These Images Along With Text By Adams Was Published By U. S. Camera In A 112-Page Book, Born Free And Equal. In A Letter To His Friend Nancy Newhall, The Wife Of Beaumont Newhall, Curator Of Photography At The Museum Of Modern Art, Adams Wrote: "Through The Pictures The Reader Will Be Introduced To Perhaps Twenty Individuals . . . Loyal American Citizens Who Are Anxious To Get Back Into The Stream Of Life And Contribute To Our Victory." The Book Received Positive Reviews And Made The San Francisco Chronicle'S Bestseller List For March And April Of 1945. </P> <P>In Addition To His Work At The Camp, Adams Photographed The Mountains Near Manzanar. Two Of His Most Famous Landscape Photographs Were Made During His Visit To Manzanar, Mount Williamson, The Sierra Nevada, From Manzanar, California, 1944 And Winter Sunrise, The Sierra Nevada, From Lone Pine, California, 1944. These Dramatic Photographs Were Not Included As Part Of The Adams Gift To The Library. </P> <Figure Class="Image-Align-Left" Style="Width: 160Px;"><A Href="/Resource/Ppprs.00249/"><Img Src="/Collections/Static/Ansel-Adams-Manzanar/Images/Toyo.Gif" Alt="" /></A>  <Figcaption><A Href="/Item/2002695956/">Toyo Miyatake Family, Manzanar Relocation Center</A></Figcaption> </Figure> <P>Adams Was Not The Only Photographer To Work At Manzanar. One Of The Internees, Toyo Miyatake, Had Worked As A Los Angeles Portrait Photographer Before He Was Moved To Manzanar. Although The Internees Were Not Allowed To Have Cameras, Miyatake Fashioned One From Parts He Brought With Him In His Luggage. Both Adams'S And Miyatake'S Photographs Present A Positive View Of The Japanese Americans Interned At Manzanar. In Contrast, Dorothea Lange, Who Had Earned Her Reputation As A Social Documentary Photographer With Images Of Migrant Farm Workers Made During The Depression, Worked For The War Relocation Authority Photographing The Evacuation Of Japanese-Americans And Their Arrival At Manzanar. Lange'S Vision Is Uniquely Unlike Adams And Miyatake. She Photographed The Upheaval Of The Evacuation And The Bleak Conditions Of The Internment Camps.</P> <H3>"A Grave Injustice"...A Congressional Apology </H3> <P>In 1988, Apologizing On Behalf Of The Nation For The "Grave Injustice" Done To Persons Of Japanese Ancestry, Congress Implemented The Civil Liberties Act. Congress Declared That The Internments Were "Motivated Largely By Racial Prejudice, Wartime Hysteria, And A Failure Of Political Leadership," And Authorized A $20,000 Payment To Japanese-Americans Who Suffered Injustices During World War Ii. </P>

Title: Branch Rickey Papers
Object Type: Web Page
Copyright: No Known Copyright Restrictions
Description:
The Approximately 1,750 Baseball Scouting Reports From The 1950S And 1960S Presented Here Are Part Of The Papers Of Branch Rickey (1881-1965), Best Known As The Executive Who Broke Major League Baseball'S Color Line By Signing Jackie Robinson To The Brooklyn Dodgers Roster In 1947. By That Date, However, Rickey Had Already Built An Impressive Career As A Player, Manager, And Baseball Executive, Which Eventually Earned Him A Place In The National Baseball Hall Of Fame In Cooperstown, New York. The Scouting Reports, Which Are Located In A Series Of Baseball Files In The Rickey Collection, Were Compiled Between 1951 And 1964. They Are Mostly Concentrated In The Years 1951-1956 And 1962-1963, While Rickey Was Associated, Respectively, With The Pittsburgh Pirates And St. Louis Cardinals.</P>  <P>The Reports Document Rickey'S Skill In Analyzing Various Aspects Of A Player'S Game. They Reveal His Candor In Assessing A Player'S Talent And Sometimes Include Blunt Comments About A Player'S Upbringing Or Family Background. Some Of The Better-Known Names Featured Include Hank Aaron, Lou Brock, Steve Carlton, Roberto Clemente, Don Drysdale, Bob Gibson, Harmon Killebrew, Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays, Bill Mazeroski, Stan Musial, And Frank Robinson. Future Managers George Lee "Sparky" Anderson And Albert Fred "Red" Schoendienst Are Also Evaluated As Players. In Addition To These Hall-Of-Famers, Rickey Also Evaluated Hundreds Of Players Who Had Varying Degrees Of Success In The Minor And Major Leagues. Many Players Rated Multiple Reports Over The Course Of Several Years.</P>  <P>The Scouting Reports Are Arranged By Year And Then Alphabetically By Last Name Within That Year.</P>  <P>A Finding Aid (<A Href="Http://Hdl.Loc.Gov/Loc.Mss/Eadmss.Ms998023.3">Pdf</A> And <A Href="Http://Hdl.Loc.Gov/Loc.Mss/Eadmss.Ms998023">Html</A>) To The Larger Branch Rickey Papers Is Available Online With Links To The Digital Content On This Site.</P>

Title: National Child Labor Committee Collection
Object Type: Web Page
Date: 1908
Copyright: No Known Copyright Restrictions
Description:
Working As An Investigative Photographer For The National Child Labor Committee (Nclc), Lewis Hine (1874-1940) Documented Working And Living Conditions Of Children In The United States Between 1908 And 1924. The Nclc Photos Are Useful For The Study Of Labor, Reform Movements, Children, Working Class Families, Education, Public Health, Urban And Rural Housing Conditions, Industrial And Agricultural Sites, And Other Aspects Of Urban And Rural Life In America In The Early Twentieth Century. </P>  <P>The Collection Consists Of More Than 5,100 Photographic Prints And 355 Glass Negatives, Given To The Library Of Congress, Along With The Nclc Records, In 1954 By Mrs. Gertrude Folks Zimand, Acting For The Nclc In Her Capacity As Chief Executive.</P>  <H2>Background And Scope</H2>  <P>Founded In 1904, The National Child Labor Committee Set Out On A Mission Of "Promoting The Rights, Awareness, Dignity, Well-Being And Education Of Children And Youth As They Relate To Work And Working." Starting In 1908, The Committee Hired Lewis W. Hine (1874-1940), First On A Temporary And Then On A Permanent Basis, To Carry Out Investigative And Photographic Work For The Organization. The More Than 5,100 Photographic Prints And 355 Glass Negatives In The Prints And Photographs Division'S Holdings, Together With The Often Extensive Captions That Describe The Photo Subjects, Reflect The Results Of This Early Documentary Effort, Offering A Detailed Depiction Of Working And Living Conditions Of Many Children--And Adults--In The United States Between 1908 And 1924.</P>  <P>Hine Later Referred To His Photographic Work For The Nclc As "Detective Work." Photo Historian Daile Kaplan Offers This Picture Of How Hine Conducted His Work, Which Was Frequently Regarded With Suspicion By Business Owners, Supervisors, And Workers:</P>  <P>Nattily Dressed In A Suit, Tie, And Hat, Hine The Gentleman Actor And Mimic Assumed A Variety Of Personas--Including Bible Salesman, Postcard Salesman, And Industrial Photographer Making A Record Of Factory Machinery--To Gain Entrance To The Workplace. When Unable To Deflect His Confrontations With Management, He Simply Waited Outside The Canneries, Mines, Factories, Farms, And Sweatshops With His Fifty Pounds Of Photographic Equipment And Photographed Children As They Entered And Exited The Workplace. (Photo Story: Selected Letters And Photographs Of Lewis W. Hine. Ed. By Daile Kaplan. Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1992).</P>  <P>The Nclc Distributed The Photographs As Part Of Its Publicity And Educational Efforts.</P>  <Ul>   <Li>Hine And Some Of The Other Nclc Investigators Included References To The Photographs In Reports On Particular Industries And Locations.</Li>   <Li>The Nclc Used The Photos To Illustrate Its Own Publications And Succeeded In Placing Them In Newspapers And Progressive Publications.</Li>   <Li>The Photos Appeared In Stereoptican Slide Shows And In Displays That The Nclc Circulated. Hine Was Influential In This Effort, Particularly After He Was Promoted To The Head Of The Nclc Exhibits Department In 1913.</Li>  </Ul>  <P>Mrs. Gertrude Folks Zimand, Acting For The Nclc In Her Capacity As Chief Executive, Gave The Records Of The Nclc To The Library Of Congress Manuscript Division In 1954, In Celebration Of The Nclc'S Fiftieth Anniversary. The Manuscript Division Then Transferred To The Prints And Photographs Division The Photographs (Arranged In 21 Albums), Negatives, And Caption Cards. (The Nclc Apparently Also Offered The Library Of Congress A File Of Nitrate Negatives, Which The Library Did Not Accept. Some Original Negatives Can Be Found At The University Of Maryland, Baltimore County And The International Museum Of Photography And Film At George Eastman House. For Further Information, See "<A Href="/Collections/National-Child-Labor-Committee/About-This-Collection/Related-Resources/">Related Resources</A>.")</P>  <H2><A Name="Photos" Id="Photos"></A>The Photographs</H2>  <P>Many Of The Photo Captions Explicitly Identify Hine As The Photographer Who Made The Image. A Few Captions Cite Other Photographers Or Photo Studios. Many Captions Lack Any Photographer Attribution.</P>  <P>The Photographic Prints Found In The Nclc Records Are On Single Weight Paper. Most Range In Size From 3.5 X 3.5 Inches To 5 X 7 Inches And Are Probably Contact Prints From 4 X 6 Inch And 5 X 7 Inch Negatives; Both Of Those Sizes Are Represented In The Glass Negatives In The Collection. Hine Apparently Did Not Enjoy Darkroom Work And Employed Assistants To Print His Photographs Whenever Possible. Some Of The Prints Show The Effects Of Inadequate Photographic Processing And, Quite Possibly, Wear And Tear From Their Original Use And Housing.</P>  <P>Hine, Or Someone At The Nclc, Numbered The Photographs 1 - 5126, With Some Letter Suffixes (E.G., 1A) To Make The Numbers Unique. By Convention, The Prints And Photographs Division Has Come To Refer To These As "Hine Numbers."</P>  <P>The Nclc Delivered The Collection To The Library Of Congress In Albums Organized By Type Of Industry And, Within That, By Hine Number. In 1968, Library Staff Remounted The Photographs In New Albums And Subsequently Microfilmed The Collection, To Reduce Its Handling. The Library Contracted With Jjt, Inc., To Digitize The Entire Collection In 2003.</P>  <H2><A Name="Captions" Id="Captions"></A>The Photo Captions</H2>  <P>The Online Catalog Records Include Title, Location, And Date Information Transcribed From The Original 3 X 5 Inch Captions Cards That Came With The Collection (For More Information Regarding Transcription Practices, See <A Href="/Collections/National-Child-Labor-Committee/About-This-Collection/Technical-Information/#Describing-The-Collection">Describing The Collection</A>).</P>  <P>The Caption Cards Include A Mixture Of Typed And Handwritten Information That Is Sometimes Difficult To Decipher. It Appears That The Nclc Had A System For Reproducing The Captions On Strips Of Paper, Because Many Of The Caption Cards Consist Of A Label Strip Affixed To The Card With Added Annotations Above And Below. Some Strips Were Cut In Such A Way As To Cut Off Information Or Attributions. Over The Years, Library Of Congress Staff Have Added Annotations To Indicate The Availability Of Corresponding Negatives (An Lc-H5 Or Lc-H51 Stamp On A Card Signalled The Availability Of A Corresponding Glass Negative That Came With The Collection) And, Occasionally, To Correct Or Amplify Identification Information Given On The Cards.</P>  <P>We Do Not Know Precisely Who Compiled The Caption Cards Or How, Although It Seems Logical To Assume That Hine Recorded The Information They Contain. Information On Many Cards Echoes Statements Hine Made In His Reports. Daile Kaplan, In Editing Hine'S Letters, Attributes The Captions To Hine And Notes That He Later Referred To The Process Of "Synchronizing" The Information With The Photographs (Kaplan, P. Xx). Having Trained In Stenography, Hine Was No Doubt In A Good Position To Make Rapid And Detailed Notes About The Scenes And People He Photographed.</P>  <P>In A Few Cases, It Is Apparent That The Caption Writer Was Working Considerably After The Taking Of The Photograph, Because The Caption Refers To Later Revisiting Of The Same Subject Or Indicates That Information Should Be Filled In At A Later Point If The Correct Identification Can Be Found. Many Captions Cite The Name Of A Witness (Including Other Nclc Staff Members Or, Sometimes, Hine'S Wife, Sara), As Well As The Name Of The Photographer. Some Captions Make Reference To Associated Reports, Many Of Which Can Be Found In The Library Of Congress Manuscript Division (See "<A Href="/Collections/National-Child-Labor-Committee/Articles-And-Essays/Reporting-On-Labor-Conditions/">Reporting On Labor Conditions</A>").</P>  <P>Although The Accuracy Of The Information In The Captions Cannot Easily Be Verified, The Captions Often Supply Highly Detailed And Evocative Information About The Conditions Being Photographed And The Photography Enterprise Itself.</P>  <Ul>   <Li>Many Captions Cite Names, Ages, Addresses, Work Tasks, Hours, And Wages Of Individuals Photographed. [<A Href="/Collections/National-Child-Labor-Committee/?Q=Ncl2004003801+Or+Ncl2004000691+Or+Ncl2004003784+Or+Ncl2004005048+Or+Ncl2004001528+Or+Ncl2004003218+Or+Ncl2004002658+Or+Ncl2004003898">Examples</A>]</Li>   <Li>Many Include Quotes From The Individuals Depicted (Sometimes In The Caption Writers' Version Of The Speaker'S Colloquial English).

Title: By Popular Demand: Jackie Robinson And Other Baseball Highlights, 1860S-1960S
Object Type: Web Page
Date: 1998
Copyright: No Known Copyright Restrictions
Description:
2007 Marks The 60Th Anniversary Of Jackie Robinson'S Rookie Season For The Brooklyn Dodgers. When He Stepped Onto Ebbets Field On April 15Th, 1947, Robinson Became The First African American In The Twentieth Century To Play Baseball In The Major Leagues -- Breaking The "Color Line," A Segregation Practice Dating To The Nineteenth Century. Jackie Robinson Was An Extremely Talented Multi-Sport Athlete And A Courageous Man Who Played An Active Role In Civil Rights. This Presentation Was Created To Commemorate His Achievements And Describe Some Aspects Of The Color Line'S Development And The Negro Leagues. Materials That Tell His Story, And The History Of Baseball In General, Are Located Throughout The Library Of Congress. This Web Presentation Was Made Possible By A Generous Gift From The Citigroup Foundation.</P> <H2>Selection Criteria</H2> While The Library Of Congress Does Not Have Collections That Focus Solely On Jackie Robinson, The Baseball Color Line, Or The Negro Leagues, Diverse Original Materials Relevant To All Of These Topics Can Be Found Through The Library'S Numerous Reading Rooms. With The Goal Of Representing Many Different Media, Library Staff Selected And Reproduced Approximately 30 Interesting Items Created Between The 1860S And The 1960S, Including Manuscripts, Photographs, Ephemera, And Books. Narrative Information Drawn From Encyclopedia Articles, Published Biographies, And Baseball Histories Established The Context For Understanding The Original Materials.</P> The Library Holds Additional Original Materials That Could Not Be Reproduced Here, Either Because They Are Still Under Copyright Protection (For Example, Nbc Radio Broadcasts), Or, Because Digitization Would Be Very Expensive (For Example, The Full-Length Movie The Jackie Robinson Story).</P> This Online Presentation Introduces A Multi-Faceted Man And A Variety Of Complex Issues, Topics, And Events That Risk Oversimplification In Any Short Retelling. Books Listed In The <A Href="/Collections/Jackie-Robinson-Baseball/About-This-Collection/Related-Resources/#Bibliography">Bibliography</A> Should Be Consulted For Further Information.</P> The Breadth Of Resources At The Library Of Congress Is Impressive, But Other Libraries And Organizations Also Offer A Wealth Of Information On These Subjects. Selected Sources Are Listed In The <A Href="/Collections/Jackie-Robinson-Baseball/About-This-Collection/Related-Resources/#Related-Websites">Related Web Sites </A>Section.</P> <H2>By Popular Demand: Images From The Prints And Photographs Division</H2> Library Patrons And Staff Often Select Pictorial Materials From The Prints And Photographs Division For Reproduction In Books, Exhibits, Lectures, Television Documentaries, Decorative Calendars, Research Papers, And Many Other Kinds Of Projects. Researchers Arrange With The Library'S Photoduplication Service To Produce Copies Of Selected Items. Typically Ordered Are 8X10-Inch Prints Or 4X5-Inch Color Transparencies. In Order To Make The Prints, The Photoduplication Service Must Create A Copy Negative, If None Exists. Afterwards, Those Negatives And Color Transparencies Are Added To A File Of High-Demand Images Maintained By The Prints And Photographs Division.</P> In 1996, This File Contained Approximately 120,000 Negatives And Transparencies. The High Demand Image File Serves As A Ready Reference Source For Many Of The Library'S Most Popular Pictures. The High-Demand Image File Complements The Division'S Heavily Used Collections Of Original Negatives, Including Its Selected Civil War Photographs , Farm Security Administration/Office Of War Information Collection (Forthcoming), And Historic American Buildings Survey And Historic American Engineering Record Collections.</P> Over Time, The Library Plans To Place A Significant Percentage Of The High-Demand File Online Under The Series Title "By Popular Demand." The First Group Of Images Will Consist Of Items Which Appear In Staff-Selected Illustrated Reference Aids. Likely Candidates Will Be Guides Relating To Immigration At Ellis Island And The Statue Of Liberty. The Entire High-Demand File Covers A Broad Range Of International Subjects And Popular American Topics Such As Eyewitness Drawings Of The Civil War, Photographs Of Native Americans, Historical Prints By Currier & Ives, Political Cartoons, And Portraits Of Prominent Figures In Many Fields.</P>

Title:
Robinson As A Dodger: 1947 To 1956 - By Popular Demand: Jackie Robinson And Other Baseball Highlights, 1860S-1960S

Description:
When He Began Playing For The Dodgers In 1947, At Age 28, Jackie  Robinson Was Older Than The Typical Rookie. Baseball Fans And Players  Reacted To Robinson With Everything From Unbridled Enthusiasm Evident In  Newspaper Headlines, To Wariness And Open Hostility Expressed In  Beanball Pitches And Death Threats. His Athletic Abilities Prevailed  Despite The Intense Pressures Caused By Breaking The "Color Line."  Robinson Won Respect And Became A Symbol Of Black Opportunity.  The Sporting News, Which Had Opposed Blacks In The Major Leagues,  Gave Robinson Its First Rookie Of The Year Award In 1947. The Award Was  Renamed In Robinson'S Honor In 1987.

Description:
Jackie Robinson, Rachel Robinson, And Their Three Children (David, Sharon, And Jackie, Jr.) At Home In Stamford, Connecticut. Photograph By Arthur Rothstein, 1956. (Library Of Congress, Prints And Photographs Division, Look Magazine Photograph Collection. Reproduction Number: Lc-L9-56-7021-A, Frame 9. Not To Be Reproduced For Trade Or Advertising Purposes.)This Photograph Is One Of Many Taken To Illustrate The Article "My Future," Published In Look Magazine On January 22, 1957.    Jackie Robinson Decided To Retire From Baseball After The 1956  Season. He Accepted A Job Offer From The Chock Full O' Nuts Restaurant  Chain In New York And Contracted With Look Magazine To Write An Article  To Break The News And Explain His Reason "My Legs Are Gone And I Know  It" (From Glenn Stout'S Jackie Robinson,  P. 178) (Robinson Had Worked With Look Before, Most Recently To Publish  An Autobiographical Series In January And February 1955.) In December  1956, A Month Before The "My Future" Article Appeared, The Dodgers'  General Manager Told Robinson That The Team Had Traded Him To The New  York Giants. Robinson Followed Through With His Retirement Plans,  Although The Giants' Management Tried To Change His Mind. On April 14,  1957, In An Interview On The  Meet The Press Television Program, Robinson Discussed The Pros  And Cons Of Trading Baseball Players, The Impact Of Baseball'S Reserve  Clause, And Civil Rights In General, And His Role In The Naacp Freedom  Fund Campaign. Toward The End Of The Interview Robinson And The  Panelists Talked About Robinson'S Continued Dissatisfaction With The  "Negro'S Position" In Professional Sports, And His Reputation For Being  "Tart-Tongued" And "Terrible-Tempered."

The Baseball Hall Of Fame     Cover From Program For Southern Christian Leadership Conference Hall Of Fame Dinner Honoring Jackie Robinson, July 20, 1962, Waldorf-Astoria, New York City. (Library Of Congress, Manuscript Division, Arthur Mann Papers. Reproduced With Permission From The Sclc.)  Robinson Was Elected To The Baseball Hall Of Fame In 1962, His First  Year Of Eligibility. (A Player Must Be Retired From Baseball For Five  Years To Be Considered.) His Forceful Spirit Inspired Both His Playing  On The Field And His Civil Rights Work Afterwards. Some Young Militants  Criticized Robinson'S Ties To Republicans, While Robinson In Turn  Criticized The Naacp For Failing To Include Younger Voices. As Described  In His 1972 Autobiography,  I Never Had It Made, Jackie Robinson Became Disillusioned With The Continued Lack Of  Opportunity For Blacks. In The 1970S, Robinson'S Health Began To  Deteriorate Rapidly. (He Had Learned In 1957 That He Had Diabetes.)

From The Moment The First Striker Takes His  Position, And Poises His Bat, It Has An Excitement And Vim About It ...  In Short, The Pastime Suits The People, And The People Suit The  Pastime."

Title: The Spalding Base Ball Guides, 1889-1939
Object Type: Web Page
Copyright: No Known Copyright Restrictions
Description:
Spalding Base Ball Guides, 1889-1939 Comprises A Historic Selection Of Spalding’S Official Base Ball Guide And The Official Indoor Base Ball Guide.  The Collection Reproduces 35 Of The Guides, Which Were Published By The  Spalding Athletic Company In The Late Nineteenth And Early Twentieth  Centuries.  Spalding’S Official Base Ball Guide Was Perhaps The  Premier Publication Of Its Day For The Game Of Baseball. It Featured  Editorials From Baseball Writers On The State Of The Game, Statistics,  Photographs, And Analysis Of The Previous Season For All The Major  League Teams And For Many Of The So-Called Minor Leagues Across The  Nation. The 15  Spalding’S Official Base Ball Guides Included In This Online Collection Were Published Between 1889 And 1939. The  Official Indoor Baseball Guide Concerns A Game Unfamiliar To Most Contemporary Baseball Fans Because  Its Demise Occurred Almost Beyond Living Memory. These Guides, Too,  Offer Rules And “How-To’S” Of The Game, Information On The Game’S  Founding Fathers, Photographic Illustrations Of Teams And Players From  Across The Land, And Game Statistics. The 20  Official Indoor Base Ball Guides Included In This Collection Were Published Between 1903 And 1926 During His More Than Twenty-One Years' Involvement With Baseball’S  Major Leagues, A.G. (Albert Goodwill) Spalding (1850-1915) Was A  Baseball Player, Manager, And Executive. With His Brother He Began The  Sporting-Goods Manufacturing And Retail Business That Still Bears His  Name And Is Known To Millions. He Also Founded A Publishing House, The  American Sports Publishing Company Between The Late Nineteenth And The Mid-Twentieth Centuries, The  American Sports Publishing Company Issued Works That Can Be Classified  In Three General Categories. The First Is Instructional Manuals, Such As  How To Play Second Base, How To Bowl, And How To Play American Hand Ball.  The Second Is Rule Books For Many Sports. The Third Category, And The  One Most Widely Used By Researchers And Sports Historians, Is The  Annuals That Both Narratively And Statistically Summarized The Previous  Year'S History, Accomplishments, And Records For A Specific Sport. A Few  Of The Sports Covered Are Baseball, Women'S Basketball, Golf, College  Football, And Track And Field Athletics. Collectively, These Are Known  As Spalding Guides. In Addition To The Text, All Guides Included An  Advertising Section For The Spalding Sporting-Goods Empire That Provides  A Fascinating History Of The Development Of Everything From Baseball  Gloves, Tennis Racquets, And Ice Skates To Golf Clubs And Football  Cleats; The Spalding Company Made Them All The Library Of Congress Has More Than One Thousand Of These Guides,  Believed To Be The Largest Collection Held By Any Institution. A Small  Sample Is Offered Here In  Spalding Base Ball Guides, 1889-1939; In The Future, The Entire Collection May Be Digitized And Made Available On This Web Site. The Twenty  Official Indoor Base Ball Guides And Fifteen  Spalding'S Official Base Ball Guides Currently Presented Are Examples Of The Annuals Described Above While The Game Of Baseball Covered In  Spalding’S Official Base Ball Guides Is Well Known To Most Americans, The Game Described In The  Official Indoor Base Ball Guides May At First Seem Unfamiliar--Yet In Its Current Incarnation It Is  Probably Played By More Americans Than Traditional Baseball. According  To  The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary, Indoor Baseball Is  “ He Original Name For The Game From Which Modern Softball Derived.  Its Rules Were Written By George W. Hancock Of Chicago Who Was One Of  The Group Of Young Men Who Created The Game, Using A Boxing Glove For A  Ball And A Broomstick For A Bat, While Waiting At The Farragut Boat Club  For The Telegraphed Results Of The Harvard-Yale Football Game On  Thanksgiving Day, 1887. Thus, Softball In Its First Incarnation Was  Baseball Played Inside A Gymnasium” (Paul Dickson,  The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary [New York: Harcourt, Brace And Company, 1990], P. 268) Brief Biographies Of A.G. Spalding Can Be Found In  The Ballplayers, Edited By Mike Shatzkin (New York: Arbor House/William Morrow, 1990; Library Of Congress Call Number Gv865.A1 B323 1990) And  Biographical Dictionary Of American Sports. Baseball,  Edited By David L. Porter (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 2000;  Library Of Congress Call Number Gv865.A1 B55 2000). The Definitive  Biography Is  A.G. Spalding And The Rise Of Baseball: The Promise Of American Sport, By Peter Levine (New York: Oxford University Press, 1985; Library Of Congress Call Number Gv865.S7 L48 1985).
