Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a vintage, yellowed newspaper clipping scrapbook page, likely from 1949, focused on art and cultural news related to Harvard University and the Fogg Museum.

The page is dominated by a large clipping from "The Harvard" newspaper, dated Cambridge, Mass., Wednesday, January 12, 1949 (Vol. CCXI, No. 80). Its headline announces: "Buck Named Fogg Museum Art Restorer; Sears Takes Post at School of Education." This article details the appointment of Richard D. Buck as the new Conservator of the Fogg Art Museum and Dr. Robert R. Sears as a professor at the Graduate School of Education.

To the left of this main article is a handwritten note on a piece of paper, addressed to "Mr. Buck's Fogg Museum" and dated "Jan 12, 1949" — the same date as the newspaper issue. This note is likely an internal memo or a personal annotation made by someone involved with the museum or the newspaper.

The lower half of the page is a collage of several smaller news clippings, each labeled with its source and date:

1. Monitor (Boston, Mass.) - JAN 17 1949: A clipping from "BOSTON NEWS CLIP" at 120 Tremont Street, Boston.
2. Advocate (Provincetown, Mass.) - JAN 27 1949: Also from "BOSTON NEWS CLIP," reporting that the "Fogg Museum Buys Painting" — a Provincetown artist's work by Angelina Myre.
3. News (Springfield, Mass.) - JAN 17 1949: A headline reads "STOUT WILL SPEAK AT MT. HOLYOKE," discussing the new Director of the Worcester Art Museum, who was previously at the Fogg.
4. N.Y. Times - JAN 30 1949: A short article titled "Art Gift for Fogg Museum," mentioning that John R. Newberry Jr. presented a drawing by Albert Cuppens to the museum in honor of his parents.

The overall appearance — with aged, brittle paper, hole punches on the right edge, and tape or glue marks — suggests this is an archival document compiled for record-keeping or research, likely by or for the Fogg Museum or its staff, documenting the appointment of Richard Buck and other related cultural events from that month. The page provides a snapshot of the art world's activities in Boston and beyond during early 1949.

The image appears to be a collection of historical news clippings and a handwritten note on a piece of paper, all affixed to a sheet of paper or board.

The top section prominently displays the masthead of "The Harvard Crimson," a university newspaper, indicating the source of the news clippings. The clippings are dated from January 17, 1949, and feature articles about the Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard University. Notable articles include:

1. "Buck Named Fogg Museum Art Restorer" - This article announces Richard D. Buck's appointment as the Conservator of the Fogg Art Museum.
2. "Sears Takes Post at School of Education" - This article announces Robert R. Sears's appointment at the Harvard School of Education.
3. "Stout Will Speak at Mt. Holyoke" - This article mentions that George L. Stout, then the director of the Worcester Art Museum, was giving a lecture at Mount Holyoke College.
4. "Fogg Museum Buys Painting" - This article reports that the Fogg Museum has acquired a painting titled "The Dunes" by Angele Myrer.
5. "Art Gift for Fogg Museum" - This article discusses a gift of a drawing by Aelbert Cuyp to the Fogg Museum.

The handwritten note on the paper seems to be a personal note, possibly from the owner of the clippings, indicating "Mr. Buck's [sic] [unreadable] 12. 1949."

The collection is organized in a way that separates the news clippings from the personal note, and the items appear to be aged, suggesting that they are historical documents. The overall appearance of the collection gives a sense of historical significance and relevance to the Fogg Museum's activities in 1949.
