Photographing kids can be a real
pain adventure! They're busy, they're squirmy, they're fast, sometimes they're cranky, but guess what? Comparatively, all of that stuff is a total piece of cake. The real challenge? The cheeeeeeeeeeese. Never have I photographed a child who didn't do exactly one of two things when I first pulled out my camera. 1. Put on their "camera face"—you know, the one that Mom has programmed into their psyche since infancy, or 2. immediately ran in the opposite direction.
Given a choice, I'd take the latter, any.day.of.the.week.
I have exactly one rigid, non-negotiable rule for myself as a photographer: I don't shoot fake smiles. Period. I want to photograph what's real, authentic, alive. Not only is approaching sessions from this space a million times more satisfying for me as an artist (and a human being), but it completely changes my subject's experience (for the better) as well.
My friend, Tara Whitney (who shot the soulful and hilarious tire swing image below), has a beautiful tag line for her photography business: "Just be you." Her philosophy blows my mind (I wish I'd written it myself). It says in part:
"I am looking to capture your authentic connections. Leave the perfect hair and clothes at home. I would much prefer to see you just as you are—beautiful! Show up in your favorite jeans and tousled hair, your child with a lolipop-stained mouth from the ride in the car. Relax. Have fun. Be real. Be alive. Be in love, and loving each other. Perfectly imperfect." -Read Tara's philosophy in full, here. It's absolutely worth your 37 seconds.

The word "cheese" is to authentic photography what a bell is to Pavlov's Dogs. The MOMENT a kid hears it, they obediently put on their "picture face."
If you're looking to create real, timeless images, avoid that word like an open field in a thunderstorm.
Just relax. Kids respond authentically to normalcy. If you're chasing them around, desperately trying to pull smiles out of them, you're going to get exactly what you're asking for: strained, forced, inauthentic smiles. If you'll just be patient and quietly go with the flow, your subject will warm right up, and you'll eventually get what you're looking for.
This point is probably more important than all the others combined. You've got to keep mom and dad under control. Often parents are tempted to engage to try to help
force get their kiddos to cooperate. This is particularly likely if the kids are being somewhat rascaly. I get it. I'm a mom. I want my kids to listen, be respectful and behave appropriately—expecially when we're getting our pictures taken (PS. it never happens for me, ever). But when mom and dad step in with their frustration and angst, we get either tears or the types of expressions that the kids are trained to give for mom and dad. . . that's not what I'm going for.
At the beginning of a session, I explain to mom and dad that I've got them covered. They are free to sit back and relax. They are allowed to hang around, but they aren't allowed to intervene between the kids and I unless I specifically as for their help. This not only ensures I have the opportunity to connect with their kids the way I'm hoping to, but it also alleviates a lot of pressure from Mom and Dad. "You mean, this experience doesn't have to be a hellish circus for me?!" Cue huge sigh of relief.
Instead of trying to contain children to a specific backdrop, allow them to explore. They'll be a thousand times more cooperative when you do try to get them to do something specific if you haven't spent the entire shoot calling to them "look over here" and "look over there," and "stand up, sit down. . . fight, fight, fight." (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.) Remember, your subject doesn't have to be looking directly at the camera (or even facing the camera at all for that matter) in order for you image to tell a powerfully authentic story.
It's not easy for everyone to connect with little people, and if you can't authentically connect, how can you hope to capture an authentic image? I have a clear advantage after nearly 10 years of practice . . . day in and day out . . . 24 hours a day. . . 7 days a week. No, I'm not complaining. . . just counting. That's what moms do. We practice our math.
The best thing you can do to create beautiful art with a child is simply relax and be yourself. Kids are perceptive. They sense when you're overdoing it and aren't acting like yourself, and they'll respond in kind.
Also remember, kids love being treated with respect (just like every single adult I know). If you respect them, breathe deep, act like yourself and have fun, you'll be a big success. Guaranteed.
Everyone does things differently. I'll be the first to jump up and down and throw my hands in the air to celebrate that truth! The most dangerous thing we can do as educators is impose limitations on creativity. And the most important thing we can do as artists is fight against those limitations—self inflicted or otherwise—and find our authentic artistic voice (more on that in a future post). Take what you've learned here and modify it in a way that fits within the realm of YOUR unique style and passion as a photographer, or if it's not a fit, throw it out all together. Remember Tara's words, "perfectly imperfect?" well, they apply not just to our subjects, but to us as artists as well. There's not a right way or a wrong way to approach our art. The right way is simply whichever way we choose.
Happy shooting!
What are the rules on photographing children...like for camera clubs etc not for sale if you dont know the child...jist someone for example in a park or beach if you dont know where the parents might be?
I was just thinking - whoever wrote this article is a great writer & kept my attention the entire read! And then I read it: Natalie Norton is a writer.... :) Seriously, loved this article & your style of writing! xox
Nice Shots Natalie- The girl with a flower reminds me of an Annie lebievowitz (SP?) kind of shot- it's got that kind of atmospheric feeling to it- and hte two girls jumping, I liek that all of the reflectiosn are not present- gives the photo more of an immediancey feel to it whereas shwoign all the reflection woudl have madwe it a bit more static I think- the cut off reflection imemdiately draws the viewer into the photo-
Love this article. This is exactly the philosophy I've been trying to articulate. Thanks for the tips! :)
I love shooting kids, especially my own. But I have a question, what do you do about lighting? Often they are inside, and if I want a decent DOF I don't have enough lighting without a flash. I have both remote flashes and a cable to keep it off camera but I can't adjust the setting fast enough to keep up with the kids. So if I want candid inside photo's, who do I handle the lighting. Sometimes I get lucky, but that's not as often as I'd like.
After every 5 shots or so, I show the pictures that I've taken of my 2yr old daughter to her. Seeing her pictures really makes her smile and makes her cooperative for the next shots that I take of her. She even makes her own poses and facial expressions! :)
Thank u for this. I'm not a kid person, I really don't know how to relate. Of course, all of my friends have kids and of course they want me to shoot them.
This helps a lot. Thanks.
Great post. As I started exploring portrait photography, I did a lot of Christmas card photos for friends. It was great fun, but I distinctly remember shooting two boys (around 6-7 years old) and their little sister (around 1 1/2). The boys wanted nothing more than to be boys and goof around, and their mom kept really wanting them to sit still, etc. Then I told them to make a goofy face picture and they LOVED it and then were so much more cooperative about the posed shots mom wanted. Why bother having pictures of kids taken if they don't even get to be kids in the photos? They're a great family, and the images ended up coming out really well, but it was a great lesson for me about both how to work with kids and parents!
Some great tips here. On a recent family shoot, I found that it was the mom & dad that had a hard time just relaxing and being themselves. They seemed to really want that "posed" shot. They ended up loving all the candid stuff that centered around their daughter playing with an acorn (even sticking it up her nose!). She was so fun and easy to photograph because she wouldn't sit still. Got tons of great pics of her!
HOWEVER...I have a niece who loves to pose. That is just who she is, so I go with it. Her shoots always have a ton of cheese, and that is part of her personality right now. It ends up looking totally endearing and adorable for her, because everyone who knows her knows she loves to "ham it up." She's an exception, though, and it's way more fun to just follow the little ones around most of the time.
I have to say, child photos are magical; and it can take a wizard to get good ones on cue. It helps to know your subject, or at least be comfortable with them, and they you. That takes time, and a portrait shoot isn't always long enough. The more people involved the longer it can take. Sometimes, patience wears thin and you have to schedule another go at it. But, when exuberance becomes weariness, you can get some nice ones sometimes. Just be ready for a few parting shots and don't put that camera down until it's all over ?. Here are two of my favorites – I knew we were done by her expression, but couldn't resist.
Thanks for the tips! I loved Tara's philosophy and website, very inspirational!
I have a son that is autistic and I will def be passing this along to people I know that shoot pictures of him - grandparents etc. they get frustrated that he can't look at the camera. Then they totally love my pictures that I take in the yard etc. however when I do catch him looking its amazing. So thankful for digital camers so we can shoot 300 pictures just to get that one perfect shot!
I enjoyed the article and pictures. My two rules for photographing kids:
1) Get down on their level;
2) Pretend to take pictures for a few minutes and they will forget you are there. Then it starts to get good.
The headline Cut the Cheese: '5 Tips for Photographing Kids' is a double-entendre. At least here in Canada, Cut the cheese is a slang term for 'fart'.
best to all,

A local family who hires me every year for their holiday portrait provides one of my greatest photographic challenges. Their three kids (ages 6-15), come with three different personalities (not surprising that). The youngest boy, however, can be quite distracted and doesn't like to take direction, especially when it's from mom or dad. I have to banish the parents from the shoot as they employ alternately coercive or bribing tactics to get him "to behave". My approach is to take advantage of his natural exuberance, letting him just be himself. It doesn't always work, but when it does, the results are precious:
I agree these are great tips and great added comments. My question is, what do you do for a studio portrait shoot where the (paying) mother just wants a perfectly posed family portrait and the kids just want to run around the studio instead? And, they have only paid for a certain amount of time. I'm usually good with kids, following most of these tips already, but had one recently where the aforementioned happened. Mom was not happy with the "candids", even if they were cute.
Yes, yes, yes! I ditto your 1st three paragraphs word for word! As soon as she learned to talk, my granddaughter was taught by the other side of the family to say, "Cheese". I almost cried.
Instead of "Cheese1" try saying "Fromage!" before you snap. It often gets unexpected results.
Thank you for the insightful article! It's so true!! And yes, it's the mom and dad (well, mostly mom), that are challenging... Not the kids.
I was doing a family shoot for an old friend and had done some searching for ideas. one I really liked was the baby sitting in the grass and the parents farther back and out of focus. when I tried it though the little guy wouldnt sit and face me so I took the shots of little Blake crawling back to mom and dad and that was one of my fave pics of the session :) With kids its bad to have a plan but good to have ideas. just don't get upset if something doesnt work, make what happens work for your pics :)
I photograph kids in youth theatre. Most of the kids are receptive, but once in a while they don't cooperate.
I do invest a large amount of time with the kids to earn that trust. I show up throughout their rehearsals...sometimes even at auditions and callbacks so that that know I'm there and they know who I am. After a while, they usually just forget that I'm there.
When rehearsals start in earnest, though, I get the director to introduce me and I talk to the kids for just a few minutes. I tell them that I am there to document their work. I tell them that if I am in their way, they don't have to say "excuse me", because I am in the wrong. I tell them to not play to the camera...just do what you're told to do by the director. (Sometimes, later in the run I will ask them to look at the camera for a particular shot...but usually, I won't shoot the picture if one of the cast members is focused on me.)
I post many pictures on Facebook under an alias for their troupe--they rush home from rehearsals to see if I've posted anything yet. They make my shots into profile pictures and make comments.
It takes work and time investment, but the natural shots do appear.
Absolute truth. That is why I'd always be a "hunter" photographer - I want to capture people in their most natural moments and not pose/smile for a camera. It is not just about children alone.
You have to catch the kids unaware. That's when you get the best expressions.
This is my son smiling on a merry-go-round.
This is my younger son with a pouting look.
use a telephoto so you can capture their candid expressions from outside their personal space ...
shoot at their eye level ...
shoot even when they are crying - these pictures will stand out among the happy ones ...
Well written and great ideas!
Especially agree with #4 and #5. Find the more vulnerable I am - the more childlike - the better the portraits. Plus, I have more fun.
If you are after some "look at the camera and look natural" portraits, I find a "secret" helps. Kids love secrets, especially those that mom and dad don't know. So, before the sessions begins, I tell that kids that this is going to be fun, that they are going to get to run around and we'll all be silly together. We're also going to look at the camera for some pictures. If they are good helpers and doers (my exact words), they get to splash mom and dad at the end of the session (for a beach session; your secret will vary). They light up; the combination of a secret and splashing mom and dad is almost too much. Any time, they wander, physically or emotionally, during the look at the camera images, I remind them of "the secret".
Thanks again,
Michael Adams
I just photo a austim child and I just let him do his thiing and I got amazing shots of him. His grandmother was amaze of the photos I got of him. She said I was the only one that could get photos of him
I always think that it is a case of wait, wait and more wait - the longer you wait and the more part of the furtiture you become the more relaxed the children become. So many times I have tried to direct this type of shoot and it never really works - actually the hardest thing is getting the parents to just let it happen rather than trying to get their child to do things for the camera!
Great advice. Another tip that pops to mind is to get in the dirt with them. Not a hard and fast rule, but getting down to their level creates a unique perspective and tends to get more clear, genuine reactions than spying from above.
There's no better subject than a child exploring their surroundings, every expression is pure and true.
Get permission. This article is focusing on kids you most likely know. When shooting kids you don't know (at a carnival, baseball game,....), get permission from the parents / guardians before you starting shooting. Parents are rightly so very suspicious these days of strangers with camera. Be considerate and talk with them 1st.
Honestly, this stuff is gold. I'm serious, I hope a book is on your horizon. A free e-book, like Richie. Something small but valuable to wet people's appetites.
I would also add one tip, may be obvious but it will save loads of time post-processing and will save a lot of hassle. Before the shoot even begins, have the parents do a once over on their kids' faces. I hear Tara's philosophy to "come as you are" but it is valuable to take a quick minute to get ride of crusties, boogers, etc that may have camped out on the kids' faces. Sometimes we may forget that and when we get home we notice the infamous cliff hanger in every picture, and I'm not sure we want to capture that part of real life ;)
Great tips, thanks again!
photographing the kids is a pleasure.
It is a lot of fun taking them a picture
Sorry that should be *important*
Really great tips! This artical is so importain to me not only as an Early Childcare teacher but as an artist as well. I just recently photographed some of my children in my classroom at snack time, it was really fun to sit there with my camera and capture monments of them enjoying their snack. The children however upon seeing my camera went absolutely silly with excitment and glee! (you would have thought I brought a puppy in, instead of my camera!). I never once asked to say "Cheese" just sat there and watched them interact with the camera while snapped of pictures.
Great tips! The biggest problem I have with shooting my kids is that they want to be the ones running the camera. Here's the gangsters that hang out at my house:
Wow.. a really great useful piece of info for me. So far, my main subject is 20 months "baby". Shooting running baby is harder than shooting events .. ;D
These are GREAT tips! As a wedding photographer, I thought kid photography was going to be a piece of cake...boy was I wrong! In a wedding situation, everything is usually rush rush rush, and if you have a few minutes of downtime to spend with a kiddo, you might get something magic...or they might spot the camera and stop doing that super cute thing and start doing the cheesy smile thing. But when you have an entire session with kids, the dynamics are completely different, and you have to have patience and wait them out, play with them, engage them, and keep the parents relaxed.
When taking pictures of the grand kids my problem is as soon as I take the first shot they all want to rush over and look in the back of the camera, "Let us see grandpa".
I have to try and tell them the viewfinder on the back doesn't work before I start.
Also, be really funny to get the real smiles.
I agree with the idea of not having a fake smile.
I think kids are great when you catch them without any form of pose.
The composition is not fantastic in this one but the smile is VERY infectious:
Lovely my kid after a while screams if I try to click a picture. But after trying stop motion (operative word is trying) I am going to do one with her.
Kids have always been a favorite photography subject. Yes, candid photos of them are always priceless. :)
Totally agree with this post - great job! I never want to take a forced pic. The candid ones are always better with kids. The poses rarely turn out to be anything close to representing the real personality of a child.
Let them go and capture the kid as who they really are.

|Need Chocolate?
One is that I always seem to crave something good to eat late at night when I am working away, not just anything... but, chocolate! Chocolate anything is great; candy, hot cocoa, chocolate cold ovaltine, chocolate milkshakes, dark Dove chocolate and Brownies. Those late night hours of 1 am to 3 am just keep on demanding chocolate.
Hunting the frig or the cupboard for something tasty to replenish the lost brain power of organizing all those ancestors sometimes is so challenging. It even adds to the drained brain power when I have to look so hard for that chocolate around here. (Reminder to me: next year to stock up on chocolate Easter bunnies! No children around here any more so no Easter baskets to raid either.) Too bad they don't make chocolate flavored doggie treats or Babe and Misty would be looking the house over for their devoured treats too.
The second thing which has been around this week and showing up repeatedly was the advertising which shows chocolate "stuff". Was that also due to Easter or did they all just know that I am easily drawn in by them? Everybody has been in the act. Yesterday I received my newsletter from the Custer County Historical Society in Broken Bow, Nebraska. They have a really nice little newsletter which includes the happenings with the society and the museum there. The editor included the minutes from the last meeting which were interesting on their own but at the end of nearly every paragraph of the minutes were these words: passed around a heaping plateful of homemade chocolate chip cookies, started the chocolate chip cookies around again, cookies were passed around again. Well, OK, not all the way around this time, cleaned up the last of the cookie crumbs and we adjourned at 9:07. I must ask you all, how does one concentrate on the finer points of the newsletter when they are passing the plate of cookies around all the time and you are not there to get one? I must confess that their newsletter is a joy to read and a welcome break from the usual mundane society meeting minutes. Maybe all societies could operate more efficiently and with less conflicts within if they all served cookies or candy at their monthly meetings!
Genealogy research is hard work most of the time and taxes the brain so give yourself a break occasionally. Even if you only indulge by eating just one chocolate chip. You will get your "chocolate fix" and probably will have had to get up and move around just to find the little treasures. The energy exerted to walk into the kitchen will more than make up for that one little chip and your bones and joints will be stretched, ready for more work time. Don't mess up the plan by stashing a bowl of chips or M&M's near the computer. Remember too that your ancestors aren't there to see you and everyone else in the house is probably sleeping in the early am hours so you can even have two chocolate chips if you want to!
One of my favorite scrap booking sites, Scrap Girls, has even been in the act this week of luring me in with chocolate. Their daily newsletter has been featuring very cute and free brownie recipe cards all week. If you love to scrapbook your family and ancestors, check out the Scrap Girls newsletter here and you can sign up. They also have cute FREE daily digital scrapbook items if you get the newsletter.
When the You Go Genealogy Girls head out for Salt Lake in May, my bag will also include this little recipe for an easy nightly chocolate fix while in the room. Fresh and hot! It is so nice that we have a small frig and microwave at the Plaza Hotel. ( Note to girl #1--bring your own treats, I don't share brownies!!!)
This is taken from the Scrap Girls site this week with a little tweek from me. These are like those expensive little designer microwave brownies in the grocery store but cost much less.
Hot Brownie in a Mug
Microwavable ceramic coffee mug or ramekin
2 T. vegetable oil
2 T. water
1/4 tsp. vanilla
dash of salt (optional)
2 T. cocoa powder
4 T. granulated sugar
4 T. flour
Whisk water, oil and vanilla. Add cocoa and whisk. Add sugar and then flour mixing well each time. Microwave for approx. 90 seconds for a 1000 watt microwave. Center should be slightly molten , just to set. Remember it will continue to "cook" slightly when removed from microwave oven so do not overcook. (I use my overcooked first one as a paperweight on my desk so maybe that is why I crave chocolate all the time).
For fun if you are near the regular oven, plop a few mini marshmallows on under the broiler for a few seconds after you microwave or add a dollop of ice cream and caramel with pecans on top. Three white chocolate chips will melt nicely on top after you microwave the treat, just in case you want more calories.
Next time you crave a late night chocolate treat, try one! Just be sure to lay in a supply of ingredients ahead of time. Two o'clock in the morning is only for you and your ancestors, a time to reflect and yes, even to indulge a little. Happy researching!

"The curse of the past" is a small questmod based on the work of the "western Isles team". After the abort of "The western Isles", we got the existing material to finish it and release it under a new name. "The curse of the past" contains a beautiful tropical island, a small village and a quest that plays there. The playing-time is about one to two hours.

I have written on this subject before, but would like to make the point again.
I do not like patches and we do not wear any in our dojo. I do not like any brand symbols on my gi. I remove them and urge my students to do the same.
I do not like writing on my belt. I wear a plain black belt. When it gets tattered, I buy a new one. My sons prefer to wear no belt at all.
I do not like snappy gi. The sound hurts my ears!
I do not like to associate my dojo or my understanding of Karate with any symbols, colors, designs, patches, names, sayings, dojo kun, or the like.
Karate is in the training. What counts most is the relationship between the Sensei and his or her students (not associations or organizations). If my Sensei is kind enough to consider me his student, that is more than enough for me -- and I feel extremely lucky for it!
Karate training is more than enough, without embellishment.
If you train well, you need nothing else. If have everything else (the embellishments), but do not train well, is that really Karate?
If you need a patch, let it be your character.

I actually went to that. I was talking about the Solo shows but it doesn't matter anymore because I can go to the NY one for Christmas.

Fertilizing your lawn before the soil is adequately warm results in waste of fertilizer and possible lawn injury.
Though you could easily force your lawn to turn green prematurely with many high-nitrogen fertilizers, it's a false sense of accomplishment.
That new green growth depends on the availability of other elements, some of which are scant under cool soil temperatures. Iron, for example, is not readily available while soil is still cool.
Your lawn begins to turn bright yellow after being fertilized too early. In other words, you've induced or caused a nutrient deficiency with this sudden decision. The soil then is too cool to allow roots to take in the needed iron to support the growth that you've caused.
Other needed nutrients, such as potassium, are not readily available under cool soil temperatures. As a result, some of these fertilizer elements leach below the root area before grass roots are in a position to use them.
You waste fertilizer and money when you hasten the natural course. Waiting to fertilize during soil temperatures that are more favorable allows for efficient use of the fertilizer and less waste.
For our lawn grasses to efficiently use fertilizer, consistently warmer nights are required. So why not wait until mid-April to fertilize? You'll waste less fertilizer, save money and have a healthier lawn in the process.
It's a win, win, win situation.

Although we don't yet have all of our finding aids online, many are available through the Penn Libraries' site.
Akhenaten Temple Project records
The Akhenaten Temple Project was the first computer project assumed by the University of Pennsylvania Museum. It was proposed in 1965 by Ray Winfeild Smith, and in 1966 he began the project with the aid of IBM's nascent computer technology. The IBM computer was abandoned in 1976. This collection spans Ray Winfield Smith's entire involvement as director of the project 1968-1971, and begins the career of Dr. Donald B. Redford who acted as a consultant in 1971 and has been director since 1972. The records contain papers and photographs relating to the foundation of the Akhenaten Temple Project, and are divided into five series: Financial; Correspondence and Reports; Project Negatives; Photographs; Misc.
Antigua, Guatemala expedition records
The Antiguas Guatemala expeditions were conducted in 1969 and 1970 by Dr. Ruben Reina. Originally from Argentina, Dr. Reina received his B.A. at the University of Michigan and his M.A. at Michigan State University. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina followed by a Research Assistantship at the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Dr. Reina began his career at the University of Pennsylvania after teaching at the University of Puerto Rico. He became a Professor in the Anthropology Department in 1967 and assumed the position of Curator of Latin American Ethnology, American Section of the Penn Museum. Dr. Reina spent 34 years at the University, becoming Professor Emeritus in 1990. The expeditions to Guatemala yielded three boxes of field notes and drawings, a catalogue of findings, extensive information on native ceramic pottery, and photographs. In addition, Dr. Reina's trips produced a file of five-by-eight catalogue and excavation unit cards and an additional photograph catalogue file of three-by-five cards. Both of the card files are housed separately in smaller archival boxes.
Arthur L. Frothingham records from the Etruscan tomb groups excavation
Although classical, including Etruscan, collections had been donated to the University of Pennsylvania Museum since the early 1890s it was in 1896 that the Museum formally authorized excavations in Italy and the acquisition of Etruscan tomb groups, as well as individual objects, for the Museum. Professor Arthur L. Frothingham of Princeton, then Secretary of the American School of Classical Studies in Rome, was commissioned to represent the Museum in Italy. Most of the tomb groups which Frothingham obtained are from Narce and Vulci, although there are objects from many other sites including Cerveteri, Orvieto, and Civita Castellana. The textual records from the excavations in Italy consist of one linear foot of correspondence, notes, financial accounts, and photographs related to the excavation of Etruscan tombs through which the Museum obtained the majority of its Etruscan collections.
Benque Viejo, Cahal Pech British Honduras (Belize) expeditions
The Benque Viejo (Xunantunich), Cahal Pech expedition, conducted by Dr. Linton Satterthwaite, was an extension of his expedition to Caracol, British Honduras (Belize). It was conceived as a "Housemound Project" and continued for two seasons from 1950 to 1953. The area of Benque Viejo, Cahal Pech contained seventeen structures and five stelae for investigation. Much of the collection relates to the Ball Court and East Plaza sites, as well as Structure A6 first and A6 second. The expedition produced objects and numerous photographs of the area. The Benque Viejo, Cahal Pech expedition records consist of twenty-nine folders in three archival boxes. Materials relate to the proposal for the expedition, preliminary data, budget and financial records, maps, notebooks, field notes, diaries, bag study sheets, progress and summary reports, press and publication materials, and photographs.
Bet Sh'ean, Israel expedition records
From 1921 to 1933, the Palestine Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania Museum conducted excavations at Bet Sh'ean, a site located 12 miles south of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. The expedition was intended to be an extensive research effort in Syria-Palestine, but this goal was never fully achieved due to financial stringencies imposed during the Depression of the 1930s. Clarence S. Fisher, Curator of the Egyptian Section of the University Museum, directed the first three seasons of work at Bet Sh'ean. Alan Rowe and Gerald M. FitzGerald directed the subsequent seven field seasons. Nine major occupation levels were described, the earliest dating to the Late Neolithic, and the latest from the Arab/Crusader periods. Records describing the excavations at Bet Sh'ean consist of forty linear feet of records, including diaries, a card catalog, plans, photographic material, field notes, correspondence, financial records, notes, and publication drafts, as well as dozens of maps, drawings, and paintings.
Bet Shemesh, Israel excavation records
Located approximately 12 miles west of Jerusalem, this site was originally excavated in 1911 and 1912 by Duncan Mackenzie for the Palestine Exploration Fund. Under the sponsorship of Haverford College, Haverford professor Elihu Grant undertook excavation at this mound from 1928 to 1931 and again in 1933. When the Bet Shemesh (Ain Shems) artifacts, known as the Haverford Collection, were purchased by the University Museum in 1962, the field notes, notes on pottery, drawings, photographs, and correspondence relating to these finds were also acquired.
Caracol, Belize expedition records
Linton Satterthwaite, a professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania and Curator of the American Section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, conducted three trips to Caracol, Belize in the 1950s to investigate a previously unknown site of Maya culture. While his primary interest was in Maya inscriptions and chronology, his journeys to Caracol yielded artifacts for the Museum, including twenty-six vessels of the early classic period, nine vessels of the late period, Stela 11, a new "giant glyph" altar, and the bottom portion of Stela 3. The Caracol expedition collection consists of 16 boxes of correspondence, field notes and notes on individual stela, altars, and stones, glyph decipherment and chronology data, information for publication, and photographs and drawings including contact sheets and photographs from Caracol, Benque Viejo, and Cayo X. Satterthwaite organized and catalogued the photographs according to the type of film used, field numbers, and monument number. The collection also contains three file boxes of card notes to the photographs and a few pieces of oversized material. Satterthwaite's "The Monuments and Inscriptions of Caracol, Belize" with co-author Carl Beetz, was published after his death. The publication materials relate to his instructions and notes for publication and Beetz' collection of Satterthwaite's monument notes for the book.
Chalchuapa, El Salvador excavation records
The records of the excavations at Chalchuapa, El Salvador include correspondence, administrative records, field notes, photographs, manuscripts and reports. The bulk of these materials originate from the 1954 excavation by William R. Coe and the 1966 analysis by Robert J. Sharer, as well as the 1969-1970 re-excavations.
Daniel Garrison Brinton Mexico collection
Daniel Garrison Brinton is considered one of the founders of modern American Anthropology. He was also the first to hold a professorship in Archaeology in the United States. His library, which includes the Carl Hermann Berendt collection of manuscripts in the indigenous languages of Mexico and Central America, is considered the core of the University of Pennsylvania Anthropology Library. Among the collection are 4515 items; rare illustrations, contemporary photographs, portraits of individual authors, and texts in Spanish, French, Italian, and German. Brinton gathered his information from archival and library studies and did not participate in any archaeological expeditions. This small collection, attributed to Brinton by J. Alden Mason of the University Museum, consists of four folders. Two contain linguistic notes on the Maya languages. The remaining two, contain drawings of pottery, objects, sites, and maps of Maya regions, primarily in Mexico. Some of the drawings are believed to be those of Carl Hermann Berendt, purchased by Daniel Brinton for the library at the University. The collection is in fragile condition and many of the items are in need of conservation assessment, particularly the Berendt drawings.
Dinkha Tepe expedition records
Dr. Robert H. Dyson, Jr., Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum 1982-1994, directed excavations in 1966 and 1968 at Dinkha Tepe in the Ushnu Valley, west Azerbaijan, northwestern Iran. This expedition formed part of the Hasanlu Project. The papers documenting these excavations are for the most part primary reference materials and were deposited as a closed collection in The University of Pennsylvania Museum Archives for safekeeping until publication research begins within the next several years. Records were kept in their original order. The textual records of Dinkha Tepe consist of 2.66 linear feet of excavation notebooks, indexes and catalogues, photographic material, manuscripts, and drawings, maps and plans.
Elin Danien collection of Robert Burkitt papers
The Elin Danien Collection of Robert Burkitt Papers was discovered by Danien on her trip to Guatemala in 1985. Consisting of notebooks on the languages of the native Indians in the Guatemalan Highlands, the collection was found on the property of a family with whom Robert Burkitt stayed while working for the Penn Museum in Guatemala. Previously thought to be destroyed, the works are from the early portion of Burkitt's time in Central America, 1903 to 1913, before he formally began to collect and catalogue artifacts for the Museum. The collection consists of four linguistic notebooks, a comparative chart of the languages with a word list, a Spanish-Kekchi dictionary created by Burkitt, a portion of Burkitt's Dresden Manuscript, an Index to a linguistic notebook that is not a part of the collection, and loose papers from other notebooks. A purchased Espanol-Quecchi dictionary from Coban, 1890, is also a part of the collection.
Erich F. Schmidt excavation records from Tepe Hissar, Iran
From 1931-1933, The University Museum sponsored Erich Schmidt's excavations and survey at Tepe Hissar and sites around the city Damghan, both in Northwestern Iran, near the Caspian sea. These sites were unique because they were the first American excavations in Iran, but more particuarly because of the long time span represented in the archaeological record. Remains from the Bronze Age to the Islamic era were collected, but Schmidt focused his investigation on the Bronze Age and Sassanian eras.
Fara, Iraq expedition records
Excavation at Fara, initiated by German excavators between 1902 and 1903, was resumed in 1931 by Erich Schmidt, an archaeologist working under the aegis of the University Museum. Since the Museum's participation was limited to one season which took place between February 15 and May 19, the records pertaining to this excavation are not numerous. The textual records at Fara include general correspondence, field notes, indexes and catalogues, and publications. Where possible, a chronological order was imposed on the records.
Furness, Harrison and Hiller expedition records
Between 1895 and 1901, William Furness, III., Alfred C. Harrison, Jr., and Hiram M. Hiller made a series of extended trips to Oceania, South and Southeast Asia, and East Asia. Furness, Harrison, and Hiller all donated or sold substantial collections of ethnographic, archaeological, and skeletal material acquired on the voyages to the Penn Museum. The Furness, Harrison, and Hiller collections, particularly those from Oceania, are extensive and reasonably well-documented for their time.
George Byron Gordon Central America expedition records
George Byron Gordon led expeditions to Copan at the end of the nineteenth century and, with his brother MacLaren Gordon, to Alaska in 1905 and 1907. As Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and as Director of the Museum, Gordon was first to conduct regular lectures to undergraduate and graduate students in Anthropology and oversaw one of the the largest periods of Museum growth. The G.B. Gordon Central America collection includes diaries, surveying notes, reports and stories from the Copan Expeditions and the Yucatan Expedition in 1910, original stories, articles, and book reviews written by Dr. Gordon, communication with The British Museum about Maya site excavation, Gordon's introductions composed for speakers for the Saturday Afternoon Lecture Series, speeches to professional organizations, and class lectures.
Gibeon expedition records
James Pritchard, first Curator of Biblical Archaeology, Professor of Religious Thought, Associate Director (1967-1976), and Director (1976-1977) at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, conducted his primary fieldwork in three sites in the Near East Of these, locating the site of Ancient Gibeon (El-Jib) in Jordan was perhaps Pritchard's most notable accomplishment. He and his team conducted five seasons of fieldwork here, discovering three prominent architectural features: a tunnel, pool, and the city wall. The archival records for these excavations consist six linear feet of field notes, reports, a field diary, correspondence, object catalogues, drawings, photographs and a photographic catalogue, an annotated map, publication notes, and financial records.
Gorgas Mill Complex records
This collection, the Gorgas Mill Complex records, includes documents from the Monastery archaeological site, on the Wissahickon Creek in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The excavation site was an 18th-century mill site which later became part of Fairmount Park. It was excavated in 1974 by the field school of the Penn Museum under the direction of Jeff Kenyon. This collection was divided into four series based on subject: administrative records, historical research, field notes and visual materials.
Gournia, Crete expedition records
The textual records from the excavations of Gournia and the papers of Harriet Boyd Hawes consist of one linear foot of correspondence, financial records, field notes and drawings, drafts of lectures and materials for publication, and research notes. The records have been compiled from several sources, none of which contributed a significant original order. Sources of the records include the files of the American Exploration Society, the records of University of Pennsylvania Museum Mediterranean Section Curator Sara Yorke Stevenson, and the papers of Harriet Boyd Hawes, contributed to the Archives on two occasions (in 1973, by her son Alexander Hawes, and in 1993 by her daughter Mrs. Mary Allsebrook via researcher Dr. Vasso Fotou.
Henry L. Smith collection of Augustus Le Plongeon correspondence
The Henry L. Smith collection of Augustus Le Plongeon correspondence documents the letters received by Henry L. Smith from the photographer, antiquarian, and amateur archaeologist, Augustus Le Plongeon in 1906 and 1907. Le Plongeon is most noted for his photographs in the Northern Yucatan during travels with his wife, Alice Dixon Le Plongeon, during a thirteen year period from 1873 to 1885. These photographs depict ancient ruins and inscriptions some of which were later damaged or destroyed. The collection consists of one folder of thirteen letters from Le Plongeon, and two additional pieces of information sent to Henry L. Smith, an article from Appleton's Booklovers Magazine and a brochure from the Lowell Institute. H. L. Smith's signature is found on a label for the letters.
Henry L. Smith collection of Augustus Le Plongeon correspondence
The Henry L. Smith collection of Augustus Le Plongeon correspondence reflects the letters received by Henry L. Smith from the photographer, antiquarian, and amateur archaeologist, Augustus Le Plongeon in 1906 and 1907. Le Plongeon is most noted for his photographs in the Northern Yucatan during travels with his wife, Alice Dixon Le Plongeon, during a thirteen year period from 1873 to 1885. These photographs depict ancient ruins and inscriptions some of which were later damaged or destroyed. Le Plongeon's theories about the Maya civilization were later debunked by archaeologists and anthropologists. He maintained his beliefs throughout his life, attempting to gain support and a publisher until his death. The collection consists of one folder of thirteen letters from Le Plongeon, an article from Appleton's Booklovers Magazine, a brochure from the Lowell Institute, and a paper signed by H. L. Smith.
J. Alden Mason linguistic expeditions to Mexico records
The J.Alden Mason Linguistic Expeditions to Mexico consist of six trips to study the languages of the Northern and Southern Tepehuan Indians of the region around Durango and the Nevome of the lower Pima Bajo area. From 1912 to 1954, Mason gathered information on the languages, ceremonial activities, prayers, and botany of the Piman tribes of northern and southern Mexico. Mason took numerous photographs and his second expedition, financed by Percy C. Madeira who accompanied Mason, consisted entirely of aerial photographs of the area. The 1936 Durango Expedition with Robert M. Merrill produced photographs, plates and objects from archaeological sites like Chalchihuites and Zape in the Durango region. The photographs and plates were reproduced in a 1937 article, "Late Archaeological Sites in Durango Mexico." During this trip, Mason shot unedited film showing the indigenous people and the countryside around Durango. Two additional expeditions in 1951 and 1954 resulted in reports of the Northern Tepehuan and Nevome languages and cultures.
J. Alden Mason Puerto Rican survey records
J. Alden Mason, noted archaeological anthropologist and linguist and curator of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, conducted ethnographic and archaeological research in Puerto Rico from 1914 to 1915. Holdings include field notebooks, most notably phonetic recordings of Puerto Rican folklore from Utuado, San German, Loiza, Copa, and Coamo. Notable items include a draft of the manuscript "Painted Cave Petroglyphs in Puerto Rico" from 1939 and correspondence regarding wax cylinder recordings. Included also are letters from Mason to his daughter, Kathy, and several translated tales sent to her.
Khafajah and Kara Tepe, Iraq expedition records
Excavation at Khafajah was initially directed by Henry Frankfurt and Pinhas Delougaz of the Oriental Institute; the Joint American Expedition, under the field direction of E. A. Speiser, continued excavation in conjunction with the work in progress since 1931 at Tepe Gawra (700 miles north of Khafajah). During the second season, 1937-1938, P. Delougaz was the field director. Excavation did not occur at Khafajah in 1938 because of political conditions. Karatepe is mentioned only briefly in the General Correspondence. The Penn Museum was involved with this site during the 1930s.
Louis Shotridge collection
The papers of Louis Shotridge are one of the most extensive groups in the Arctic research collections of the University of Pennsylvania Museum Archives. Shotridge, a Tlingit Indian, was intermittently employed by the museum to make ethnographic collections of Northwest Coast materials between 1903 and 1912. The archives has papers concerning his original research, arranged topically, manuscripts for articles published in The Museum Journal, oral histories, Tlingit language notes, and general ethnographic notes on the Tlingit and other Northwest Coast groups.
M. Henry Kerr Cameroon expedition papers
Henry Kerr (1869-1935), a Presbyterian minister, worked in several villiages in Cameroon, West Africa from 1892-1899. The Presbyterian Mission League tasked him with expanding the mission locations, translating hymns and the four Gospels, teaching, and promoting industry. Contained in the collection are his own photos and correspondence, both letters sent and replies. The bulk of the collection is in the format of a scrapbook compiled by Kerr.
Margaret Matches Newman papers
The Margaret Matches Newman collection documents Newman's travels to Papua New Guinea and subsequent career as an author, most notably of the book . Materials include some correspondence, a diary, personal snapshots, and memorabilia.
Mary Owen Guatemalan folktales collection
The Mary Owen Guatemalan Folktale collection consists of two folders of folktales gathered by Mary Owen at the request of her friend George Byron Gordon, Director of the Free Museum of Science and Art, later the Penn Museum. Mary Owens transcribed seventeen folktales with notes and explanations from her valuable years of experience living in the Alta Verapaz region. Mary Owen's folktales were published in 1938 as a children's book co-authored by Marie Hendrick Jessup and Leslie Bird Simpson. Her work is also recognized in the book, "Maya Folktales from the Alta Verapaz", edited by Elin C. Danien.
Montroville Wilson Dickeson collection
The Montroville W. Dickeson Collection is a record of Dickeson's expedition to the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys to investigate the origins and archaeology of the North American mound builders. Interested in collecting from an early age, Dickeson left his medical residency and traveled in the South from 1837 to 1844 pioneering in the use of trenches in excavation and strata and cross-sections in description. The collection consists of catalogues, maps, drawings, renderings, photographs, cross-section drawings, and advertising material. Dickeson displayed his collection on his return to Philadelphia and commissioned the Mississippi Panorama painted by John J. Egan, an itinerant Irish artist. Dickeson's collection and the panorama were displayed at his own museum, in subscription lectures, and at the Centennial Exhibition in 1876 in Philadelphia. Dickeson engaged in ceaseless self promotion but mostly published in local venues and in serialized format. His advanced archaeological techniques and the catalogues of artifacts from Southern sites no longer in existence, though praised, are not well known.
Nippur, Iraq expedition records
In 1887, the University of Pennsylvania agreed to sponsor an expedition to the Near East. The idea was conceived by Reverend John Punnett Peters, University of Pennsylvania Professor of Hebrew. Nippur was a pre-Biblical city-state located in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates, the area believed to be the "cradle of civilization." The museum conducted four expeditions between 1889 and 1898. The textual records for Nippur consist of 20 linear feet of files are arranged by Expedition (I, II, III, IV), as well as publications, maps and drawings. The documents for each expedition are separated according to type: Field Notes, Reports and Narratives, Correspondence, Financial Records.
Nuzi, Iraq expedition records
The Harvard-Baghdad School Expedition (American Schools of Oriental Research, A.S.O.R) was sent to Excavate Nuzi near Kirkuk in Iraq. The expedition members consisted of staff from the Fogg Museum of Art, the Harvard Semitic Museum, and A.S.O.R., Baghad. Excavations commenced in 1927-1928. From 1929 to 1931, the University Museum extended financial aid and the services of a helper, C.Bache, in return for his field training. Very few records pertaining to this excavation are available in the Museum's Archives, probably reflecting the Museum's limited participation. Where possible, a chronological order was imposed on the Near East records.
Piedras Negras, Guatemala expedition records
Piedras Negras is a Maya site in Guatemala particularly noted for the beautifully sculpted stelae and hieroglyphic inscriptions it has yielded. Between 1931 and 1939 the University of Pennsylvania Museum conducted extensive excavations at this site. John Allen Mason led the first two seasons of work at the site (1931–1932), and Linton Satterthwaite directed the remaining six seasons (1933–1939, excluding 1938). Most of the monuments at the Museum borrowed from Guatemala were returned in 1947; only Stela 14 and one leg from Altar 4 remain on display in the Museum today. The textual records from the excavations of Piedras Negras consist of 11 linear feet of correspondence, financial records, field notes and diaries, catalogs, and reports and publication materials. The arrangement of the records reflects the original order insofar as could be detected, and portions that had been separated over time were re-integrated into this scheme.
Porticello shipwreck expedition records
In July of 1970, in the straits of Messina about 100 meters from the village of Porticello, underwater excavation of a vessel subsequently determined to be 5th century B.C. Roman, commenced under the direction of David I. Owen, assistant curator of the Underwater Archaeology Section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum. The Porticello Shipwreck spans the period from 1969 - 88 and primarily contains letters, field notes, object descriptions, drawings and photographs (prints, slides, and negatives) of objects and under water excavations relating to the project. The collection is divided into six series: Correspondence; Field Notes; Catalogues; Publications; Drawings; Photographs.
Robert Burkitt excavation records
Robert Burkitt lived and worked in Guatemala for most of his life. A graduate of Harvard University, he first traveled to Central America in 1894 with George Gordon as Gordon's assistant on the Fourth Coban Expedition. Burkitt became enamored with the culture and language of the Maya and never returned to North America. He traveled the countryside, corresponding with Gordon, and collecting items for the Museum under a loosely binding agreement with Gordon and later Horace Jayne. Burkitt's letters and catalogues are rich documents depicting the cultural, linguistic, topological, and historical features of the Guatemala Highlands. Burkitt wrote and worked from the areas of Chama, Chipal, Coban, Senahu, Chiantla, Chocola, and other areas of the Alta Verapaz region. He produced a detailed catalogue of his discoveries accompanied by photgraphs and drawings. Among Burkitt's discoveries is the Ratinixul Vase unearthed in 1923. His work was published in the Museum Journal in 1924 and 1930. Burkitt also wrote about the languages of the Maya, leaving an unfinished grammar and dictionary of the Kekchi language at his death in 1945.
Schuyler V. R. Cammann papers
The collection of Schuyler Van Rensselaer Cammann's papers, member of the Department of Oriental Studies at the University of Pennsylvania 1948-1982 and Associate Curator of the East Asian Collections 1948-1955, consist of 13 linear feet of correspondence; published and unpublished papers and book reviews; lectures; research notes; unpublished fiction; photographs; drawings; employment history at the University of Pennsylvania; teaching materials; and travels and tours. Professor Cammann wrote, lectured, taught, and consulted in several geographic areas (including China, Tibet, Mongolia, Japan) on such topics as textiles, carpets, art, ivory, snuff bottles, Magic Squares, and symbolism. He authored four books and hundreds of articles and reviews, and presented considerable number of lectures to various meetings, organizations and conferences.
Sitio Conte, Panama expedition records
At the turn of the century, the Río Grande de Coclé changed course, revealing the site of a pre-Columbian cemetery when pottery and gold ornaments were washed out of the river banks. In 1940 the University of Pennsylvania Museum began to excavate Sitio Conte, which belonged to a private landowner, located in the province of Coclé. A very small portion of the pre-Columbian cemetery, estimated to cover four or five acres in its entirety, was selected for excavation. The expedition yielded 6,600 pounds of pottery and stone. The textual records consist of 1.5 linear feet of field notes, diaries, and object cards; correspondence; administrative records concerning contracts, expenses, transportation, and equipment; and unpublished and published reports and articles concerning findings. The arrangement of the records became apparent after some research, for the original order had been lost. Most of the original folder titles, however, have been maintained.
Stewart Culin Cuban expedition records
In 1901, Stewart Culin, Curator Section of American and Prehistoric Archaeolgy at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology traveled to Cuba to investigate the existence of a wild tribe in the mountains of Eastern Cuba. Culin's journey, which lasted a few weeks, took him to Havana and points in Eastern Cuba including El Caney, Mata, Yara, Yateras, Jara, Punta Maisi, Pueblo Viejo, El Caney, El Cobre, Daiquiri, Santiago de Cuba and Guantanamo. The collection consists of 0.1 linear feet including correspondence, field notes, financial records, and photographs.

The photographs depict the harbor and buildings of Havana as well as the native population of Eastern Cuba playing musical instruments and photos of Jose Almenares Arguello, age 112, and his home.
Stewart Culin game collection records
Stewart Culin had a passion for the study of games from around the world and became a pioneer in the field of comparative game studies, amassing an extensive collection of games. The material in this collection is divided into three series: correspondence, collection data, and miscellaneous.
Tell Billa, Iraq expedition records
Tell Billa is located eight miles east of Tepe Gawra and was excavated by the same staff. Because Tell Billa and Tepe Gawra were excavated simultaneosly, records from the excavations are somewhat mixed and should be used together. Although it is difficult to determine amounts of time spent at Tell Billa, emphasis shifted after the third season to the prehistoric layers at Tepe Gawra. When other order is lacking, a chronological order was imposed on the general correspondence according to field season. Related material may be found in correspondence from the Directors Office, Jayne (1929-1940) in the files for Dorothy Cross, George A. Barton, A.S.O.R., and Paul Beidler.
Tepe Gawra, Iraq expedition records
Tepe Gawra is an ancient Mesopotamian settlement in northern Iraq, near the ancient site of Nineveh and fifteen miles northeast of the modern city of Mosul. It was excavated by archaeologists from the University of Pennsylvania, led by E.A. Speiser, who first discovered the site in 1927, and later, C. Bache. The excavations showed that the Tepe Gawra site was occupied from approximately 5000 B.C. to 1500 B.C. The textual records from Tepe Gawra consist of 11.85 linear feet of General Correspondence, Field Notes, Indexes and Catalogues, Field Registers, and Publications, plus Maps and Drawings. Where possible, a chronological order was imposed on the Near East records.
Theodoor de Booy Sierra de Perija expedition records
Theodoor deBooy, a native of the Netherlands, immigrated to the United States in 1906, becoming a citizen in 1916. Trained neither as an archaeologist nor anthropologist, he nevertheless traveled independently to the Bahamas in 1911 to study the Caicos group of islands and, in 1912, published his "Lucayan Remains on the Caicos Islands." From that time on, de Booy dedicated himself to the field of archaeology. The collection includes correspondence with George Byron Gordon, Director of the Penn Museum, a catalog of artifacts, photographs, a bibliography of the region, and lists of his lantern slides, how they should be colored, and how used in publication by the Museum.
Tureng Tepe, Iran expedition records
Tureng Tepe, a site dating from approximately 3100-2900 B.C. through 1900 B.C. in northeast Iran was excavated by Frederick R. Wulsin during two short field seasons in 1931. Although the expedition was directed by Wulsin, a University of Pennsylvania Museum staff member who was a curator of Anthropology during 1930-1932, the expedition was sponsored by the Atkins Museum of Fine Arts in Kansas City, Missouri. Records relating to the excavation at Tureng Tepe are limited, and consist of 2.3 linear feet of correspondence, field notes, and indexes and catalogues.
University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Mediterranean section curatorial records
The curatorial files encompass the period from the Section's inauguration by Museum President William Pepper in 1894 to the 1970s. While the material in the Mediterranean curatorial files dates from 1895 to 1979, the bulk of the collection dates to the earlier years (1895-1949) and within that period, the majority relate to Edith Hall Dohan.
Ur, Iraq expedition records
Sir Leonard Woolley directed the excavations at Ur in southern Iraq from 1922 to 1934 for the Joint Expedition of the British Museum and the University of Pennsylvania Museum. As part of this involvement, the University of Pennsylvania Museum sent Leon Legrain, Curator of the Babylonian Section, during the 1924–1925 and 1925–1926 seasons. Most of the records of the Ur expedition are located at the British Museum. The Museum Archives hold only a few records. The records consist of general correspondence, indexes and catalogs, publications, and Legrain research. Where possible, a chronological order was imposed on the Near East records.
Vincenzo Petrullo expedition records
Vincenzo M. Petrullo was born in Italy in 1906, entered the United States in 1913, and eventually became a citizen in 1930. Petrullo represented the Penn Museum as the anthropologist for the Matto Grosso Expedition from late 1930 until 1931. Petrullo did archaeological excavations at the expedition headquarters at Descalvados, while waiting five months for governmental permission to conduct research in the Brazilian interior. In 1933 Petrullo returned to South America, his purpose to establish a Latin American Research Institute in Venezuela, with support from that government and the University of Pennsylvania Museum. Petrullo visited South America once again in 1935 in a joint Columbia University-University of Pennsylvania Museum expedition.
Vladimir Fewkes papers
Vladimir Jaroslav Fewkes was born in Czechoslovakia on March 23, 1901. He arrived in Philadelphia in 1921. In 1926 the Wharton School awarded Fewkes a B.S. degree; he then went on to achieve a M.A. in 1928 and a Ph.D. in 1930. During most of his graduate study, he was an Instructor in the Anthropology department, and a research associate in the University Museum. He has conducted field work in Prague, the Danube Valley and Yugoslavia. The textual records from the personal papers of Vladimir J. Fewkes consist of 1.5 linear feet of correspondence, fieldwork and research notes and catalogues, published and unpublished writings, and school notes.
Watson Kintner papers
Watson Kintner, a University of Pennsylvania graduate and a man of means, traveled to more than 30 nations between 1933 until 1969. On his travels Kintner avoided tourist destinations, instead recording the daily life among the peoples visited, as well as sites of archaeological interest. Kintner took photography very seriously, and in the late 1960s and 1970s funded weekend seminars for University of Pennsylvania Museum graduate students. Upon his death, Kintner left an endowment towards various Museum activities and programs. Kintner's travel records consist of three linear feet of journals, film notes, bills, correspondence, and preparatory notes on the culture, geography and history of the countries he visited (and some that he didn't) between 1951 and 1969.
William H. Davenport papers
The William H. Davenport collection includes records from field research in the Santa Cruz Islands, Guadalcanal and San Cristobal Islands, and other Solomon Islands; the Moluccas and Sulawesi in Indonesia; and Sarawak in Malaysia, among other locations. Materials span the period from 1952-2002 and contain records primarily related to Davenport's field research, professional activities, student mentoring, and articles and publications.
Zelia Nuttall papers
In 1896 the University of Pennsylvania Museum sponsored its first expedition to Russia. The Museum sent Zelia Nuttall (now remembered mainly for her work in the area of Mexican studies) as its representative on a trip to establish cordial relations and a system of exchanges and cooperation, and to obtain archaeological and ethnological specimens by gift or exchange. Nuttall traveled to Moscow, Kiev, Troitzkoi, Rostov, Nijni-Novgorod, and Riga. She also attended ceremonies for the coronation of Nicholas II and there acquired commemorative prints which she donated to the Museum and to Mrs. Hearst. The collection consists mainly of correspondence from Nuttall to William Pepper and Sara Yorke Stevenson, inventories of objects acquired, and images collected at the Pan-Russian Industrial and Art Exhibition at Nijni-Novgorod (modern Gorki).

After 2-3 minutes, insert the filter cylinder and press down slowly until your brew is completely filtered. Then enjoy your freshly brewed cup of joe! Clean-up is just as easy: remove the filter cylinder, separate out the gasket and rinse 'em off. The mug itself is glass, so you can put it in your dishwasher.

Out-of-state family matters, over the last six months, had taken me away from my blog entries.
I came across an interesting photograph, obtained from a family friend, during my most recent trip to Northern New York. Below is an image that provides a humorous aspect of family genealogy.
James Harvey [Sic] Thompson, was twenty-one years old when the below image was taken of him, ca.1910. Can anyone give a reason for his appearance?
Apparently, James was born on February 29, 1820. To Genealogists who recognize this day of the month, it is easy to see why James appears much older then twenty-one.
Doing family genealogy can be adventurous. Learning unique aspects of family history can be fun for a researcher.
How many of your family members share in James' birth date? How were they listed on Census reports?
A question that needs to be answered: Was James H. Thompson a Civil War Veteran? Being Memorial Day weekend, it would be nice to find out that he was and to rediscover how he served his county.
To all Veterans out there, young and old, thank you for your dedication, sacrifices and commitment to protect our Freedoms.
Semper Fi !

32nd Annual Northwest Garlic Festival This Weekend in Ocean Park, WA and more!
June 13, 2013 by: Susan Goldsmith
Are you a garlic lover? Have you tried ice cream with caramelized garlic and fudgy ribbons laced in vanilla ice cream? It is delicious, believe it or not. The Northwest Garlic Festivalhas been a favorite of guests at Boreas Inn for all the years we've been here. In the "old days", our guests would attend the famous Garlic Festival Dinner at The Ark and we had to attend with our guests. If not, on Sunday morning, the Inn would exude garlic from the guests who had ingested something like 13 cloves of garlic per person from The Ark Garlic Festival dinner from the night before. When you've participated, you smell too and it's just not so bad.
The Northwest Garlic Festival is being held on Saturday and Sunday, June 15th and 16th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Beach Baron's field on Sandridge Road in Ocean Park, Washington. Travel time is only 15 minutes from Long Beach. The admission is free and you will find garlic in every form you can think of. There will even be garlic people! You can also shop for pottery, clothing, jewelry, soaps and lotions (not garlic scented!) and there are always great spice and olive oil vendors at the Festival plus music and entertainment featuring the North Coast Blues Band. The admission is free! Although we do miss The Ark's Garlic Festival dinners because they were among the most outrageous and wonderful parties we have been to, the good news is that you can go to Jimella and Nanci's Market Cafe a few miles up the road from us in Klipsan Beach and partake of the incredible offerings from the former chefs from The Ark any time you are here. Your favorite Ark dishes are still on the menu and we will make your reservations for you!
The Port of Ilwaco's Saturday Market is in full gear with more vendors than ever in a perfect setting on the Port of Ilwaco. This is such a great venue for shopping! You can shop at the Shoalwater Cove and Don Nisbett's gallery as well as cruise the long line of booths with fine art photography, metal art, children's toys, lotions and potions, jewelry, embroidered clothing and lots more including FOOD! So there's much to do this and every weekend on the Long Beach Peninsula. Get a room at the Inn, laze in the hammocks, borrow our bikes and cruise the Discovery Trail, dine at our fabulous restaurants and let us cook up a storm for you each morning–even though the skies will be sunny!

Posted by Contextual Learning on Saturday, October 01, 2011 12:19 AM
Most interns should be at work now on their Learning Goals and Project Proposal. These are forms due to be submitted by the end of the second month of internship. Supervisors and Lay Committee should be expecting to talk with the intern about the forms.
Learning Goals are "broad summary statements which are inclusive, far-reaching, and visionary." These goals (ideally 3-5) are then joined to objectives which "are "mini-goals" which focus upon specific aspects of the overall goal." Those objectives should be, as you can read on the Luther Seminary website:
Once the Learning Goals are established, they can become part of the agenda for future conversations between intern and supervisor and between intern and lay committee.
Each intern is expected to complete an internship project, which will be described in the Project Proposal. The project should be in one of four areas:
"The supervising pastor and the lay committee are expected to review and approve the proposal on its appropriateness for the development of the intern and the congregation. The completed project is to be evaluated both as to whether the intern demonstrated initiative and organizational skills, and also whether the project resulted in significant new learnings for the intern. It is possible, therefore, for an intern to have a "successful" project even though it was a programmatic failure. If the intern took initiative, organized well, was later able to see why the project failed, and can articulate what they learned for future ministry, then it will be deemed a successfully-completed project.
It is important that the intern's project be new to the life of the congregation. This will give the intern an opportunity to exercise initiative and to take responsibility for a project or program that has not been developed previously."
For more information about Learning Goals or the Project Proposal, please consult the website.
