S. Naval Commander Horace Elmer (1846-98) that cover the important period of naval expansion from 1864 to 1900.  His family created the collection, which follows his early naval career until his death, as evidenced through the newspaper clippings.","Elmer was an American Navy Commander, born in 1846. Having graduated from the Naval Academy in Annapolis in 1864 (aged 18), he began his naval career on the flagship for the East India Squadron, the U.S.S. Hartford, on which he sailed to the Pacific, via Cape Town (1865-69). He went on to have a successful career, serving on the U.S.S. Terror from 1870-1871; the U.S.S.  Vandalia 1871; the U.S.S. Ossippee 1871-1873; and the U.S.S. Kearsarge 1878-82.  In 1883 he was promoted to the rank of Commander and in 1886 he was awarded the head of the department of seamanship at the United States Naval Academy. His career, as the collection shows, gave him the opportunity to navigate across the world, visiting places such as South Africa, China, Peru, and San Domingo. The height of his career was when he was commissioned to organize and command the Mosquito Fleet in the Spanish - American War, March 1898. Unfortunately, he contracted a cold that turned into pneumonia and died one month later.","His journals reflect his time at the end of his career at the naval academy and important technical notes, but most significantly his time spent at sea. His writing style is casual and, because of the journal-like style, his personality as well as his cultural and geographical background shine through.","One of the photo albums was curated by Horace Elmer's daughter, Edith Elmer Wood, who was a healthcare and housing reformer during the progressive era into the mid twentieth century. Aged twenty-two, she married to Naval Officer Albert Norton Wood and she travelled with him to Puerto Rico around 1906.  There, her interest in healthcare flourished, becoming the head of the Anti-Tuberculosis League. Some of her significant publications include: The Housing of the Unskilled Wage Earner, 1919, Housing Progress in Western Europe, 1923, Recent Trends in American Housing, 1931, Slums and Blighted Areas in the United States, (P.W.A. Housing Division Bulletin), 1935 and Introduction to Housing Facts and Principles, 1939.","Processed by Charlotte Hawkins and Luci Ortiz.","The Horace Elmer Collection covers a short but important period in U.S. naval history from the end of the American Civil War to the beginning of the Spanish-American War at the eve of the twentieth century. Personal journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, and loose photographs are from the years 1864 to 1900.","Series I, Commander Horace Elmer, contains journals and materials relating directly to the life and career of Commander Elmer as described below.","1. \"Private\": October 1864-December 1866\nThe first journal, written chronologically but sporadically, illustrates a young Elmer's final years at the Naval Academy until his assignment on the U.S.S. Hartford. Notable entries include him witnessing Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent preacher and abolitionist, giving a sermon in Plymouth, 9 May 1865, and his 5 July 1865 entry where he describes the Fourth of July celebrations. Most significantly, this journal also includes his detailed sketching of the U.S.S. Monitor and engines of the U.S.S. Hartford, along with technical notes of how the student understood it. Personal and class notes show the kind of knowledge and naval procedures the academy required of its students.","2. \"The Cruise of the Hartford\": 17 July 1865-24 February 1866\nThe second journal details Elmer's time on the Asiatic mission for the East India Squadron from 17 July 1865 to 24 February 1866. At the back of the journal there is a table showing the periods he spent in each different country that they visited. While this list includes the years up to 1868, Elmer's entries in the diary end in 1866.  Places include Brazil, Africa, China and Japan. As it is a diary, this journal is useful in depicting what life was like on board for Elmer and the kind of things he enjoyed but also the cultural and colonial opinions at the time. In February 1866, for example, he writes of the uncivilized and demoralizing nature of people he encountered in Hong Kong.","3. \"Navigator's Notes Kept Aboard the U.S.S Ossippee\": 1872 \nNow risen to the rank of lieutenant commander and the navigator aboard the U.S.S. Ossippee, this volume contains Elmer's notes on navigation, surveying, and \"memoranda\" recounting the cruise of the U.S.S. Ossippee from Peru to New York. It also includes a section of notes labelled \"miscellaneous,\" which is filled with random factoids, many of which relate to torpedoes or explosions.","4. \"Watch, Quarter, and Station Bill\" on the U.S.S Ossippee and U.S.S Colorado\nThis book includes neat and detailed notes that Elmer, as Navigator, presumably had on board in both vessels to help handle different situations. These include roll calls, sea routines, forecasts, losing a sail, and navigation. It also includes a Miscellaneous section.","5. Scrapbook: 1878-1879.\nContains clippings from many different periodicals relating to naval procedures and maritime subjects. These depict the mechanical and technical changes of the navy during these years, but also its growth. Some articles from the U.S Army and Navy Journal from these years are included.","6. Obituary Scrapbook: 1898-1900.\nPresumably put together by Elmer's wife or daughter, this scrapbook contains periodical clippings pertaining to his last assignment on the Mosquito fleet, 1898. It also includes loose telegrams of condolence sent to her and her application to increase her pension. It is primarily composed of obituaries, each neatly labelled and organized by newspaper and date. Elmer caught pneumonia which was brought on by exposure while he was on duty. Each clipping pertains to the death of a great naval officer, and in some cases, the first loss of the Spanish-American War. (Evening Journal) Strong patriotic language is used, as well as great sadness of the passing of the \"courageous\" and \"best known naval officers\" is illustrated.","7. Collection of Nine Loose Photographs (mounted on card) 1870- 1891.\nCollection of photographs spanning twenty years, divided into Elmer's time in Santo Domingo and Edith's personal photos. The shots from Santo Domingo include a group shot of Commander Elmer with several other important men, including the President of Santo Domingo. Edith's photographs are primarily personal and family portraits, including a picture of Adele Wiley as a young woman, Edith Elmer Wood as a baby, and then another later shot of her as a young woman.","Series II, Edith Elmer Wood Scrapbook, contains a single album containing photographs from her daily life, including trips she made with her husband.","1. Photo Album Belonging to Edith Elmer Wood: 1890-1896.\nEdith Elmer Wood's photograph album contains two large photos of the U.S.S. Kearsarge, one being of the officers and another of the crew being inspected, both dated 1890; several snapshots of interiors of family residences, including one of her mother in a rocking chair, and a photo of Commander Elmer working at his desk in the Ordnance Office; ten photos, five quite large, of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893; and ten large photographs taken on the campus of the United States Naval Academy, two of them featuring Mrs. Wood and her husband. Other scenes from the Naval Academy include cadets being drilled and the Tripoli Monument.","Copyright restrictions may apply. Unpublished manuscripts are protected by copyright.

Personal journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, and loose photographs are from the years 1864 to 1900.","Series I, Commander Horace Elmer, contains journals and materials relating directly to the life and career of Commander Elmer as described below.","1. \"Private\": October 1864-December 1866\nThe first journal, written chronologically but sporadically, illustrates a young Elmer's final years at the Naval Academy until his assignment on the U.S.S. Hartford. Notable entries include him witnessing Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent preacher and abolitionist, giving a sermon in Plymouth, 9 May 1865, and his 5 July 1865 entry where he describes the Fourth of July celebrations. Most significantly, this journal also includes his detailed sketching of the U.S.S. Monitor and engines of the U.S.S. Hartford, along with technical notes of how the student understood it. Personal and class notes show the kind of knowledge and naval procedures the academy required of its students.","2. \"The Cruise of the Hartford\": 17 July 1865-24 February 1866\nThe second journal details Elmer's time on the Asiatic mission for the East India Squadron from 17 July 1865 to 24 February 1866. At the back of the journal there is a table showing the periods he spent in each different country that they visited. While this list includes the years up to 1868, Elmer's entries in the diary end in 1866.  Places include Brazil, Africa, China and Japan. As it is a diary, this journal is useful in depicting what life was like on board for Elmer and the kind of things he enjoyed but also the cultural and colonial opinions at the time. In February 1866, for example, he writes of the uncivilized and demoralizing nature of people he encountered in Hong Kong.","3. \"Navigator's Notes Kept Aboard the U.S.S Ossippee\": 1872 \nNow risen to the rank of lieutenant commander and the navigator aboard the U.S.S. Ossippee, this volume contains Elmer's notes on navigation, surveying, and \"memoranda\" recounting the cruise of the U.S.S. Ossippee from Peru to New York. It also includes a section of notes labelled \"miscellaneous,\" which is filled with random factoids, many of which relate to torpedoes or explosions.","4. \"Watch, Quarter, and Station Bill\" on the U.S.S Ossippee and U.S.S Colorado\nThis book includes neat and detailed notes that Elmer, as Navigator, presumably had on board in both vessels to help handle different situations. These include roll calls, sea routines, forecasts, losing a sail, and navigation. It also includes a Miscellaneous section.","5. Scrapbook: 1878-1879.\nContains clippings from many different periodicals relating to naval procedures and maritime subjects. These depict the mechanical and technical changes of the navy during these years, but also its growth. Some articles from the U.S Army and Navy Journal from these years are included.","6. Obituary Scrapbook: 1898-1900.\nPresumably put together by Elmer's wife or daughter, this scrapbook contains periodical clippings pertaining to his last assignment on the Mosquito fleet, 1898. It also includes loose telegrams of condolence sent to her and her application to increase her pension. It is primarily composed of obituaries, each neatly labelled and organized by newspaper and date. Elmer caught pneumonia which was brought on by exposure while he was on duty. Each clipping pertains to the death of a great naval officer, and in some cases, the first loss of the Spanish-American War. (Evening Journal) Strong patriotic language is used, as well as great sadness of the passing of the \"courageous\" and \"best known naval officers\" is illustrated.","7. Collection of Nine Loose Photographs (mounted on card) 1870- 1891.\nCollection of photographs spanning twenty years, divided into Elmer's time in Santo Domingo and Edith's personal photos. The shots from Santo Domingo include a group shot of Commander Elmer with several other important men, including the President of Santo Domingo. Edith's photographs are primarily personal and family portraits, including a picture of Adele Wiley as a young woman, Edith Elmer Wood as a baby, and then another later shot of her as a young woman.","Series II, Edith Elmer Wood Scrapbook, contains a single album containing photographs from her daily life, including trips she made with her husband.","1. Photo Album Belonging to Edith Elmer Wood: 1890-1896.\nEdith Elmer Wood's photograph album contains two large photos of the U.S.S.

His family created the collection, which follows his early naval career until his death, as evidenced through the newspaper clippings.","Elmer was an American Navy Commander, born in 1846. Having graduated from the Naval Academy in Annapolis in 1864 (aged 18), he began his naval career on the flagship for the East India Squadron, the U.S.S. Hartford, on which he sailed to the Pacific, via Cape Town (1865-69). He went on to have a successful career, serving on the U.S.S. Terror from 1870-1871; the U.S.S.  Vandalia 1871; the U.S.S. Ossippee 1871-1873; and the U.S.S. Kearsarge 1878-82.  In 1883 he was promoted to the rank of Commander and in 1886 he was awarded the head of the department of seamanship at the United States Naval Academy. His career, as the collection shows, gave him the opportunity to navigate across the world, visiting places such as South Africa, China, Peru, and San Domingo. The height of his career was when he was commissioned to organize and command the Mosquito Fleet in the Spanish - American War, March 1898. Unfortunately, he contracted a cold that turned into pneumonia and died one month later.","His journals reflect his time at the end of his career at the naval academy and important technical notes, but most significantly his time spent at sea. His writing style is casual and, because of the journal-like style, his personality as well as his cultural and geographical background shine through.","One of the photo albums was curated by Horace Elmer's daughter, Edith Elmer Wood, who was a healthcare and housing reformer during the progressive era into the mid twentieth century. Aged twenty-two, she married to Naval Officer Albert Norton Wood and she travelled with him to Puerto Rico around 1906.  There, her interest in healthcare flourished, becoming the head of the Anti-Tuberculosis League.

Raised primarily in Merchantville, New Jersey, Walker attended Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia, earning bachelor's degrees in chemistry and physics before attending VUU's seminary school for his Masters of Divinity. During his time at VUU, he married his wife, Theresa Ann Walker née Edwards, who would remain an active partner at his side throughout his life. While in seminary, Walker was the head of the university's Inter-Seminary Movement, where he first met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Walker and King would remain friends until King's assassination in 1968.","After graduating from seminary, Walker was called in 1953 to serve as the pastor of the historic Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg, Virginia, serving until 1960. During this time he founded the Petersburg Improvement Association, served as president for the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter, and co-founded and served as state director for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). He also actively worked to integrate the city of Petersburg, successfully desegregating the Petersburg Public Library, lunch counters, and bus stops in the city.","In 1960, Walker was recruited to serve as the first full-time executive director and chief strategist of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Dr. King's civil rights organization. He served in this role until 1964, overseeing the organization of several notable events in the Civil Rights Movement, including Project \"C\", SCLC's involvement in the Birmingham campaign, and the 1964 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In 1961, Walker and his wife were arrested as Freedom Riders in Jackson, Mississippi. Mrs. Walker also survived a hotel bombing with their children and multiple other arrests for her role in the Civil Rights Movement.","After leaving SCLC in 1964, Walker worked with the Negro Heritage Library, an organization focused on getting Black literature into the public education system. In 1968 Dr. Walker was called to serve as senior pastor at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, New York, where he served for 37 years. He was installed as pastor in late March by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who gave his final sermon in New York City at the installation service before his assassination a few weeks later. Walker then organized King's funeral in New York City at the express request of Coretta Scott King, an event he would later call \"the crowning achievement of my organizational career.\" He would prove to be a productive pastor for Canaan, at one point receiving a million dollars annually in tithes, expanding the church building, and leading multiple church trips to the Holy Land and other international destinations including Japan.","During his time at Canaan, Walker continued his civil rights work, expanding his scope to international civil rights, serving on the board of Al Sharpton's National Action Network and a number of other organizations. A vocal supporter of anti-apartheid, Walker visited South Africa several times, serving as an election monitor in Souther Africa's first open election and becoming close friends with Nelson Mandela, who would visit Canaan Baptist Church as one of his first stops on his first presidential visit to the United States. Walker also worked with Governor Nelson Rockefeller as a special assistant on urban affairs. When national banks pulled out of Harlem, Walker opened Freedom National Bank to serve the Black community. He also developed a number of public housing projects, at one time acting as the largest single public housing developer in New York. Frustrated with the failures of the public education system, Walker worked to help pass the New York State charter school law and co-found the first charter school in the state, the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem.","In his down time, Walker enjoyed sailing, belonging to a local yacht club in Yonkers, New York, and photography. After receiving a doctorate in ethnomusicology from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, he went on to teach seminary classes at Virginia Union University and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.","Walker retired from Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in 2004 after a series of strokes, moving to Chester, Virginia. In 2015 he and Mrs. Walker donated the Dr. and Mrs. Wyatt Tee Walker Collection to the University of Richmond, recording an oral history with the university in 2016. He remained in Virginia with his wife until his death at the age of 89 on January 23, 2018.","Processed by Taylor McNeilly and Andrea Kohashi.","Although portions of it are publicly available, this series is still in progress, and it is likely that Subseries 2.3 will expand rapidly with the addition of Walker's extensive writings.","Subseries 2.3 is likely to expand in the future with the addition of Walker's extensive writings on Civil Rights.","Materials in this collection include personal papers and administrative files of Dr. Walker, audio recordings of church services he led primarily at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ, photographs and slides taken by Dr. Walker and his family, honors and awards given to Dr. and Mrs. Walker, Dr. Walker's personal library, Dr. Walker's published books, and other memorabilia and ephemera.

Raised primarily in Merchantville, New Jersey, Walker attended Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia, earning bachelor's degrees in chemistry and physics before attending VUU's seminary school for his Masters of Divinity. During his time at VUU, he married his wife, Theresa Ann Walker née Edwards, who would remain an active partner at his side throughout his life. While in seminary, Walker was the head of the university's Inter-Seminary Movement, where he first met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Walker and King would remain friends until King's assassination in 1968.","After graduating from seminary, Walker was called in 1953 to serve as the pastor of the historic Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg, Virginia, serving until 1960. During this time he founded the Petersburg Improvement Association, served as president for the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter, and co-founded and served as state director for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). He also actively worked to integrate the city of Petersburg, successfully desegregating the Petersburg Public Library, lunch counters, and bus stops in the city.","In 1960, Walker was recruited to serve as the first full-time executive director and chief strategist of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Dr. King's civil rights organization. He served in this role until 1964, overseeing the organization of several notable events in the Civil Rights Movement, including Project \"C\", SCLC's involvement in the Birmingham campaign, and the 1964 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In 1961, Walker and his wife were arrested as Freedom Riders in Jackson, Mississippi. Mrs. Walker also survived a hotel bombing with their children and multiple other arrests for her role in the Civil Rights Movement.","After leaving SCLC in 1964, Walker worked with the Negro Heritage Library, an organization focused on getting Black literature into the public education system. In 1968 Dr. Walker was called to serve as senior pastor at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem, New York, where he served for 37 years. He was installed as pastor in late March by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who gave his final sermon in New York City at the installation service before his assassination a few weeks later. Walker then organized King's funeral in New York City at the express request of Coretta Scott King, an event he would later call \"the crowning achievement of my organizational career.\" He would prove to be a productive pastor for Canaan, at one point receiving a million dollars annually in tithes, expanding the church building, and leading multiple church trips to the Holy Land and other international destinations including Japan.","During his time at Canaan, Walker continued his civil rights work, expanding his scope to international civil rights, serving on the board of Al Sharpton's National Action Network and a number of other organizations. A vocal supporter of anti-apartheid, Walker visited South Africa several times, serving as an election monitor in Souther Africa's first open election and becoming close friends with Nelson Mandela, who would visit Canaan Baptist Church as one of his first stops on his first presidential visit to the United States. Walker also worked with Governor Nelson Rockefeller as a special assistant on urban affairs. When national banks pulled out of Harlem, Walker opened Freedom National Bank to serve the Black community. He also developed a number of public housing projects, at one time acting as the largest single public housing developer in New York. Frustrated with the failures of the public education system, Walker worked to help pass the New York State charter school law and co-found the first charter school in the state, the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem.","In his down time, Walker enjoyed sailing, belonging to a local yacht club in Yonkers, New York, and photography. After receiving a doctorate in ethnomusicology from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, he went on to teach seminary classes at Virginia Union University and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.","Walker retired from Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in 2004 after a series of strokes, moving to Chester, Virginia. In 2015 he and Mrs. Walker donated the Dr. and Mrs. Wyatt Tee Walker Collection to the University of Richmond, recording an oral history with the university in 2016. He remained in Virginia with his wife until his death at the age of 89 on January 23, 2018.","Processed by Taylor McNeilly and Andrea Kohashi.","Although portions of it are publicly available, this series is still in progress, and it is likely that Subseries 2.3 will expand rapidly with the addition of Walker's extensive writings.","Subseries 2.3 is likely to expand in the future with the addition of Walker's extensive writings on Civil Rights.","Materials in this collection include personal papers and administrative files of Dr. Walker, audio recordings of church services he led primarily at Canaan Baptist Church of Christ, photographs and slides taken by Dr. Walker and his family, honors and awards given to Dr. and Mrs. Walker, Dr. Walker's personal library, Dr. Walker's published books, and other memorabilia and ephemera.

Born August 10, 1869, in Richmond, Virginia, he was the second of four children. He attended the John S. McGuire Academy but, due to financial matters, was unable to attend college. He set about educating himself and worked in a bank for several years, while writing and attempting to get a play produced on Broadway. In 1895, at the age of 26, he moved to New York City to pursue his writing career. Not having much money, he went looking for work and found a job in a fire insurance office as an accountant. He continued to shop his play, The Broken Rosary, around the city and at one point it looked like it was going to make it. He quit his fire insurance job to devote his time to the play.  Unfortunately, it fell through and he went back to work, this time for a bridge building company. Finally, Walter Lawrence, manager of the Madison Square Theater commissioned him to write The Prince Chap, 1904, which was met with rave reviews. A Broken Rosary was rewritten as a book, also in 1904.","His best known works are A Pair of Sixes and The Littlest Rebel. Some of his plays were made into silent films, and then later sound films. Probably his most famous work was The Littlest Rebel, in book form, play form and then in motion pictures, most notably, the Shirley Temple movie of that name. After his death in 1924, his brothers and sister continued to work with theaters, agents, and producers to market his plays and handle requests for movie and publication rights.","By the time of his death, July 28, 1924, he had written more than 40 plays, many short stories and poems, and several books.
