Archives Scrapbooks

This image shows a single, aged, yellowed page from a newspaper clipping scrapbook or press file, dated between May 6 and May 8, 1958. The page has a slightly brittle, worn appearance, and several articles are affixed to it with tape or glue.

The most prominent article, located in the lower half, is titled “Preservation Seminar Opens Tomorrow.” It announces a three-day Rhode Island Preservation Seminar taking place in Providence, R.I., beginning May 9, 1958. The article states the event is part of “Heritage Week in the state.” An inset photograph features three men (left to right): Bruce Catton, Prof. Coolidge, and Dr. Howland, with captions identifying them.

The article details the seminar’s schedule: a luncheon speech by Dr. Richard H. Howland, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation; a talk by Helen P. Curry on “Integrity of Research”; a lecture by Abbott Lowell Cummings on “Interpreting Fabric and Structure of Old Buildings”; and a presentation by Nina Fletcher Little on “The Search for Light.” It also notes that John Nicholas Brown will speak on “Cocktails and Dinner at the Providence Art Club,” and Bruce Catton will be the dinner speaker.

In the upper left, a smaller clipping from “MAY 6 - 1958” announces an “Art Exhibit, Talk Set At Deerfield” at the Hilton Gallery, featuring paintings by Prof. James Foote and sculpture by the Fogg Art Museum.

To its right, another article dated “MAY 8 1958” from the Lexington, Mass. Independent (Circ. 5,537) covers a “Boston Artist Guest” event at the Painters Guild on April 22, highlighting William M. Jewell, a faculty member at Boston University and member of the Guild of Boston Artists.

Several agency stamps and annotations are visible:

• “New England Newsy Agency, Inc.” appears on multiple clippings.
• The main article is marked “Bulletin (e) PROVIDENCE, R.I. Independent Circ. 146,231” and has a faint red stamp with a signature and the date “MAY 8 1958.”
• The article from Lexington is dated with a handwritten “APR 17, 1956” (likely an error, as the content refers to an April 22, 1958 event).

The overall impression is that of an archival collection documenting local cultural and preservation events in New England during the late 1950s, curated by a news agency. The page itself is slightly creased near the top and shows some darkening along the right-hand edge, possibly from the binding or tape.
