SUMMARY:Mahwah Museum Presents: "The Havemeyers of Mountain Side Farm"
DESCRIPTION:Join NJCH grantee the Mahwah Museum for an afternoon with Tom Dunn discussing one of the most popular Mahwah families\, the Havemeyers of Mountain Side Farm. Tom has been studying Theodore Havemeyer and his family since about 2000\, when Ramapo College bought the “Havemeyer House” for use by its then-president.   \nHavemeyer was a partner in a sugar refining company that later became the largest participant in the Sugar Trust in the 1890’s. Havemeyer first bought property in Mahwah in 1879 and\, between then and his death in 1897\, acquired over 3000 acres.  During Theodore’s lifetime\, it was one of his principal homes\, and there he created Mountain Side Farm\, a major state-of- the- art dairy farm. One or more members of the Havemeyer family continuously occupied parts of Mountain Side Farm from 1879 for 116 years until the death of Theodore’s grandson\, Henry O. Havemeyer\, Jr.\, in 1995.  \nThis one-hour slide presentation will trace the history of this important Mahwah family and property;  include the story of a tragic death;  and reveal some other surprises. \nAbout Tom Dunn: Tom Dunn is a Trustee Emeritus of the Mahwah Museum. Tom practiced law in Bergen County\, he is a member of the Mahwah Historical Society\, the Mahwah Museum\, previously Planning Board Attorney\, member and officer of MBOE\,  Chamber of Commerce\, Ramapo College Board of Trustees\, and currently on the Board of Governors of The Ramapo College Foundation. \nRegistration is required for this event\, and open now.

SUMMARY:Princeton Preservation Group Presents Historian of Photography Mary Panzer
DESCRIPTION:The Princeton Preservation Group will host independent historian Mary Panzer for a virtual presentation\, How Romana Javitz and Arturo Schomburg Shaped Representations of Race in New York Public Library Collections\, on June 18 at 7 p.m. \nAbstract\nResearchers know that the NYPL collection of FSA images differs from that at The Library of Congress. We also know that the rich pictorial representation of African American life at NYPL — both in the Picture Collection and the Schomburg Collection — owes a great deal to the collaboration between these two forceful curators. This paper will discuss evidence of the ways in which Javitz and Schomburg worked together as shown in terms of photography and print material at the NYPL. \nAbout the Speaker\nMary Panzer is a historian of photography and American culture\, with a special interest in images made for the public sphere. In the 1990s\, Dr. Panzer served as Curator of Photographs for the National Portrait Gallery (Smithsonian Institution)\, where she published biographies of Mathew Brady and Philippe Halsman. She is co-author of the prizewinning Things as They Are: Photojournalism in Context since 1995 (2005). Her most recent publications include essays on Commercial Street Photographers in San Francisco\, and the origins of LIFE magazine. She is working on a history of commercial photography in America\, 1935-1965. \nThe presentation will be virtual. Princeton Preservation Group meetings are open to the public without charge. Register to receive the Zoom link. For registration and more information\, visit the Princeton Preservation Group website.

SUMMARY:Food for Thought: Endangered Eating
DESCRIPTION:Join Piscataway Public Library staff to discuss Sarah Lohman’s book\, Endangered Eating. Finishing the book is not required to join the conversation!  \nEndangered Eating is available as a downloadable audiobook on hoopla and as an ebook on Libby. The title can also be placed on hold in the STELLA catalog. A limited number of complimentary print copies of Endangered Eating are now available at Kennedy Library. \nEndangered Eating: In Endangered Eating\, culinary historian Sarah Lohman draws inspiration from the Ark of Taste\, a list compiled by Slow Food International that catalogues important regional foods. Lohman travels the country learning about the distinct ingredients at risk of being lost. Readers follow Lohman to Hawaii\, as she walks alongside farmers to learn the stories behind heirloom sugarcane. In the Navajo Nation\, she assists in the traditional butchering of a Navajo Churro ram. Lohman heads to the Upper Midwest\, to harvest wild rice; to the Pacific Northwest\, to spend a day wild salmon reefnet fishing; to the Gulf Coast\, to devour gumbo made thick and green with filé powder; and to the Lowcountry of South Carolina\, to taste America’s oldest peanut—long thought to be extinct.  \nLohman learns from those who love these rare ingredients: shepherds\, fishers\, and farmers; scientists\, historians\, and activists. And she tries her hand at raising these crops and preparing these dishes.  \nEach chapter includes two recipes\, so readers can be a part of saving these ingredients by purchasing and preparing them.  \nThis event is part of the library’s Food for Thought event series. The Food for Thought project was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities\, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this event do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.
