在一个博物馆中没有到目前为止,没有一个,但是二Mariners’ crew whose work is so interconnected that even a pandemic can’t change that. Now, our Library Information Specialist and Cultural Heritage Photographer are discovering what “working closely” looks like at a distance.
This was one of the storage buildings (in 1937) attached to the main museum. It would later be converted into our library space, at least until they moved over to the Christopher Newport University library.
After they discontinued storing our boats in the lake, they put them into our courtyard where they were more easily visible, as this photo from 1940 shows. Now they are happily displayed in our International Small Craft Center.阅读更多
大家好,欢迎一次欢迎来到图书馆博客。可悲的是,今天是我的最后一天为你的读者写作,我希望你知道它是什么荣幸。当我六月到达图书馆时,我对SS一无所知United States,但与一些指导和进入图书馆’s archives I was able to discover her very real and very poignant story. In my mind’s eye, she is not only AN ocean liner – she is now THE ocean liner, and still fastest in the world. I likewise new little about piracy, save that it was a problem off of Somalia. Through investigation of the Library’s resources and rare book collection, I found out where our modern conception of pirates came from and how much of a problem it still is even in the modern day. For the past six months, these topics have been the focus of my blog posts, but there in truth they only scratch the surface of what the Library has to offer.

您好读者,欢迎回到图书馆博客。费城咨询者的工作人员朱莉·Zauzmer发布了今天的Philly.com有趣的文章(文章HERE)。SS.United States水利创造了SS的虚拟副本United Statesin order to raise money for the conservation of the real ship. Donors can purchase virtual pieces of the vessel for the price of $1 per square inch, and use that space to display things like photographs and messages. Creating a virtual ship like this is an interesting step not just the SSUnited States那but for museums in general: when you need to quickly raise funds or awareness for a project, what better way than by using the internet? The Conservancy has given an electronic version of the ship to the people, and let them run with it.
Financially, the project is off to an admirable start. The Conservancy needs $25 million to renovate the ship and convert its interior into a museum, and has raised $6 million already. The catch is that their current allotment of money will only allow them to hold on to the ship until November of this year. After that, the SSUnited Stateswill be sold for scrap metal. A poor end for the flagship of the American merchant fleet and the world’s fastest transatlantic passenger ship.阅读更多
再次你好,欢迎回到图书馆博客。我希望每个人都有7月的愉快的第四个和与朋友和家人一起度过的周末。可悲的是,在内战中,数十万名年轻人无法分享这种简单的快乐。与他们所爱的人分开,许多士兵唯一的士兵就是他们自己可以为自己创造的。私人迈克尔瓜南128钍New York Volunteers Co. A wrote to his sister a letter several days after the Fourth, recounting the somber celebration he and his unit had produced.
