Archives Gold #31: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
Keith Porter Lecture Video Tapes and Porterfest Schedule
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present two video tapes from the Fifth and Fourth Annual Keith Porter Lectures on Cell Biology and a schedule of Porterfest.
Keith R. Porter Lecture Series Sponsored by the American Society for Cell Biology Video Cassette Tapes, 1986. Keith Porter Papers, Coll 018, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
Keith R. Porter was a UMBC professor from 1984 to 1987, serving as chair in the Biological Sciences department. Porter had a distinguished career. He was known as one of the founders of the modern science of cell biology and was instrumental in the founding of the American Society for Cell Biology. Since its inception, the American Society for Cell Biology, has hosted annual lectures named in memory of Keith Porter, during which an eminent cell biologist is awarded recognition by the society.
To celebrate Porter's 75th birthday on June 11, 1987 and to mark his retirement as chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, UMBC designated June 19, 1987 as Keith Porter day. The university invited Porter's former students, post-docs, colleagues, and other friends to join in a celebratory banquet in Porter's honor known as Porterfest. A schedule of the event can be seen below.

Archives Gold #30: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
A Photograph from the Vietnam War Protests at UMBC
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present a photograph from the Vietnam war protests at UMBC.
Skipjack, 1970. UPUB S2-001. University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
A large period of activism on the UMBC campus involved Vietnam war protests in the late 60s and early 70s. Both students and faculty at UMBC campaigned and protested against the war in a variety of ways including a
"Teach-In," where faculty and students discussed the pros and cons of the war, various
multi-day moratoriums in conjunction with the surrounding community, and
participation in the nationwide Work for Peace, a national demonstration of anti-Vietnam war sentiment.

Archives Gold #29: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
A Maryland Senate Bill Authorizing the Establishment of UMBC
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present a Maryland Senate Bill detailing the authorization of four new branches of the University of Maryland system.
Maryland Senate Bill 73, "An Act to Authorize and Empower The University to Establish Branches, One in Baltimore County, One in the Central Eastern Shore Area, One in the Central Western Maryland Area, and One in the Southern Maryland Area," April 30, 1963. Coll107, UMBC Historical Documents, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
In 1963, the state of Maryland passed legislation authorizing the building of four new University of Maryland branches: one in Baltimore County, one in the Central Eastern Shore area, one in the Central Western Maryland area, and one in the Southern Maryland area. The branch in Baltimore County, which would later become known as the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, was the only university to be founded as a result of this legislation. The state of Maryland intended for the new university in Baltimore County to prevent further overcrowding at the College Park campus and to "serve as a nucleus for scientific research and development."

Archives Gold #28: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
A Women's Union Community Service Award from 1991
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present a plaque from 1991 presenting the Women's Union with a Community Service Award.
Women's Union Plaque, 1991. University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
The Women's Union, a student organization working to promote women's interests and activities on the UMBC campus, first formed in 1971. Some of their early projects included film series, women's art exhibits, women's studies courses, and debate series. By September of 1991, an official Women's Center was opened in Gym I, hosting meetings, workshops, and events that focused on women's issues. The Women's Center continues to operate to this day, sponsoring a variety of programs including LGBTQ+ meetings, Returning Women student forums, and Women of Color Coalition meetings.

National Child Labor Committee Lantern Slides now online!
See the lives of working kids in the early 20th century
“That childhood is endowed with certain inherent and inalienable rights, among which are freedom from toil for daily bread; the right to play and to dream; the right to the normal sleep of the night season; the right to an education, that we may have equality of opportunity for developing all that there is in us of mind and heart.”
-- A. J. McKelway, Southern Secretary of the National Child Labor Committee (1913)
The International Labour Organisation defines child labor as “any work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development”. In the United States, children have been forced to work in mines and industrial factories, where their health and safety were jeopardized. While it may seem unthinkable to us now, the expanding economy of the 19th and 20th centuries demanded cheap labor. It wasn’t until the early 1900s that things began to change.
The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) was established in 1904 with the intent to promote the well-being of children and young adults in the workforce. The NCLC opposed the employment of underage workers in dangerous jobs with unhealthy conditions, particularly in mines and factories or completing manual labor, which often led to health concerns such as tuberculosis and broken bones. Children became unhealthy or poor adults, because the cycle of work and sleep left little or no time for education or play.
In order to bring their concerns to the public’s attention, the NCLC made extensive use of photography. They hired photographers to document child labor, including the working conditions and the children themselves. Exhibitions of these photographs circulated around the United States, dragging the seedy underworld of child labor into the spotlight.
One
of the photographers hired by the NCLC was Lewis Hine, a self-styled social
photographer who traveled around the country documenting working children.
He used his craft to expose detrimental social conditions and to spur
change. These photographs, and those of other NCLC photographers, also brought
about new ideas concerning childhood, including the belief that it is something
to be cherished and that play should be encouraged. A collection of NCLC
photographs printed on glass lantern slides, can be viewed at UMBC’s Special
Collections, including many by Lewis Hine.
With the aid of these photographs, the NCLC was able to sway public opinion on child labor. Children under the age of sixteen were prohibited from working dangerous jobs, and children under fourteen we prohibited from working at all. Work permits providing proof of age became mandatory. By the 1930s, child labor finally began to disappear altogether with the invention of machines that could replace small hands in the workplace.
Special Collections is open to anyone with a photo ID, M-W 1-4, Th 1-8, and F 1-4. Appointments available Monday - Friday from 9:00am - 4:30pm. Contact: 410.455.2353 |
speccoll@umbc.edu Intercession, Summer Term, and Winter Term open by appointment only.
This post was written by Rebecca Borland, who as an intern in Special Collections in spring 2015 scanned the glass lantern slides, created preliminary metadata, and produced contextual and promotional information for the collection. Thanks, Becca!
