Archives of American Gardens Annual Report for 2012 for the Garden Club of America’s Garden History and Design Committee Smithsonian Institution Staff ● Barbara Faust, Associate Director, Smithsonian Gardens (SG), Office of Facilities Management and Reliability (OFMR) ● Cindy Brown, Manager, Horticulture Collections Management and Education branch (HCME) ● Paula Healy } Museum Specialists, Horticulture Collections Management and ● Joyce Connolly } Education branch (HCME) ● Kelly Crawford } Mission Statement The Archives of American Gardens (AAG) both collects and preserves a visual record of representative American gardens and their features as well as the work of select landscape practitioners, and documents the activities and collections of the Horticulture Services Division of the Smithsonian Institution. AAG’s mission is to collect and make available for research use unique, high-quality images of and documentation relating to a wide variety of cultivated gardens throughout the United States that are not documented elsewhere since historic, designed, and cultural landscapes are subject to change, loss, and destruction. In this way, AAG strives to preserve and highlight a meaningful compendium of significant aspects of gardening in the United States for the benefit of researchers and the public today and in the future. Notable Highlights Anniversaries 2012 marked the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Archives of American Gardens as well as the GCA’s deposit of its Slide Library of Notable American Parks and Gardens with the AAG! While the Garden Club of America Collection was formally donated to the Smithsonian five years later, we still celebrate 1987 as the ‘birthday’ of this wonderful collection. 2012 was also the 20th anniversary of the GCA’s Garden History and Design Committee which was founded in 1992! 1 AAG Award AAG received the American Public Gardens Association Award for Program Excellence! This annual award recognizes exemplary public garden programming that has been a pioneer in a discipline related to public horticultural institutions. Past recipients of this award include such public garden luminaries as Longwood Gardens, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Missouri Botanical Garden. New Acquisition by AAG In addition to garden documentation submitted to the GCA Collection throughout the year, AAG acquired a significant addition to the Eleanor Weller Collection. Mrs. Weller Reade donated over 33,000 35mm slides that she either photographed or compiled over the years. You may recognize her as a driving force behind the creation of the GCA Slide Library of Notable American Parks and Gardens which later became the GCA Collection. She is also the co-author of the book, The Golden Age of American Gardens: Proud Owners, Private Estates, 1890-1940. American Garden Legacy Series Exhibit Work continues on a new Smithsonian American Garden Legacy exhibit that will highlight mid-century gardens. If everything goes as planned, the exhibit is slated to premiere in spring 2014. Former GHD Intern Kate Fox was contracted by AAG to research the topic and write an exhibit script.

Other • Both the Archives of American Gardens and Smithsonian Gardens got their very own Wikipedia entries in 2012. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archives_of_American_Gardens and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithsonian_Gardens for the pages. Many thanks to Kelly Crawford for facilitating the creation of these pages which will serve as another tool to inform the public about what we do. Smithsonian Gardens’ website was revamped thanks to an outside contractor. The pages are now more informative, organized, and eyecatching. Please be sure to visit www.gardens.si.edu if you haven’t seen it lately. AAG’s web pages went along for the ride as well: www.aag.si.edu . This page includes many important resources such as ‘Recent Acquisitions’ 2 and links to AAG’s blogs, Mystery Gardens and Virtual Volunteers pages. Be sure to bookmark it! AAG’s web page, www.aag.si.edu, on the Smithsonian Gardens’ website. GCA Collection Submission Statistics for 2012 49 gardens were accessioned into the GCA Collection in 2012. The list of gardens is appended at the end of this report. Many thanks to the Garden History & Design Committee for the many handsome garden submissions that you send to AAG throughout the year for the GCA Collection. We’re grateful to each and every GCA volunteer for the time, effort, and dedication that goes into documenting gardens for the GCA Collection. Each submission adds to the overall collection and captures today’s history of a garden for future generations. The Curtiss House Gardens in Bay City, MI. One of 49 gardens documented in the GCA Collection in 2012. Sally J. Sanders, photographer. A special thank you to those clubs who documented gardens for the GCA Collection in 2012… Zone I: GC of Dublin; GC of Mt. Desert, Nantucket GC Zone II: Connecticut Valley GC; Litchfield GC; Newport GC; GC of Hartford; GC of New Haven Zone III: North Country GC of Long Island 3 Zone IV: GC of Madison Zone V: GC of Wilmington; GC of Allegheny County; Carrie T. Watson GC Zone VII: Fauquier and Loudon GC; Dolley Madison GC Zone VIII: Late Bloomers GC; Peachtree GC & Cherokee GC (collaborative submission); GC of Palm Beach; Red Mountain GC Zone IX: Founders GC of Dallas; Greenville GC; GC of Houston; Little GC of Memphis; Memphis GC; New Orleans Town Gardeners Zone X: Bay City GC; Indianapolis GC Zone XI: Des Moines Founders GC; Green Tree GC; Town and Country GC; Westport GC Zone XII: GC of Honolulu; Pasadena GC; GC of Santa Barbara; WoodsideAtherton GC ..and for ‘solving‘ Mystery Gardens from the original GCA donation that lacked necessary Garden Owner Releases: Zone II: Washington GC Zone IX: Little Rock GC; Memphis GC Cataloging Statistics Approximately half of the gardens accessioned in 2012 have been cataloged. This includes both new accessions and updates of old garden submissions that were submitted to AAG in 2012. Representative images of each garden are available online in the SIRIS database at www.siris.si.edu. See the “Recent Acquisitions” web pages at http://gardens.si.edu/collections-research/aag-recent-acquisitions2012.html for a list of all the submissions to the GCA Collection added in 2012. After a garden is cataloged into SIRIS, its entry on the Recent Acquisitions page goes live and links directly to corresponding catalog entries and images in SIRIS. Once a garden is accessioned into the GCA Collection, the estimated time frame for cataloging into SIRIS is approximately six to nine months. Please contact Kelly if you or your Zones have questions about the status of a garden submission. GHD Committee Meetings GHD Committee Spring Meeting in New Orleans, LA, March 13-15 Discussion topics at the meeting included outreach, communications with clubs, GCA awards, articles for the GCA Bulletin, and the revamped GCA website. Barbara Kehoe walked everyone through the GHD Committee page on the GCA website so they knew where critical resources could be found. Very special thanks to Barbara, Bonnie Thurmond, Hebe Splane and Donna Stout for the fantastic local arrangements and garden tours. 4 Grinnan House and Garden was one of several gardens that were visited during the GHD Committee meeting. It was documented for the GCA Collection in 2002. Flora French, photographer, 1998. GHD Committee Meeting at GCA Headquarters, NYC, June 4-5 Many thanks to outgoing GHD Chair Barbara Kehoe for her service on the GHD Committee for several years. Her efforts to streamline the GHD Committee’s webpage and to encourage GHD exhibits at GCA meetings and flower shows will have a lasting impact! GHD Committee Fall Meeting in Washington, DC, September 11-13 This meeting, hosted by AAG, included a PowerPoint presentation by AAG staff that reviewed the contents of the Procedures Manual and Procedures Manual Appendix. The GHD Committee got the opportunity to tour Smithsonian Gardens’ greenhouse facility in Suitland, MD during the fall meeting. The facility, which includes 14 greenhouses, opened in 2010. Eric Long, SI photographer. This meeting featured an AAG workshop where GHD Reps ‘documented’ the Smithsonian’s Butterfly Habitat Garden. Each GHD Rep received a workbook 5 which featured a number of exercises that broke the respective process into its component parts and posed good/better/best options. All members received a ‘master’ CD with several PowerPoint presentations developed for education and outreach purposes for their clubs. The GHD Committee visited a number of gardens in the Old Town section of Alexandria, VA during the fall meeting including the Carriage House Garden (left) and the Old Town Walled Garden (right), both of which are documented in the GCA Collection. Henrietta Burke, photographer. GHD Committee members toured AAG’s reference room and cool vault as well as Smithsonian Gardens’ offsite greenhouse facility in Maryland. Very special thanks to Zone VII Rep Betsy Huffman and Vice Chair Daphne Cheatham for arranging tours of a number of gardens in D.C. and Alexandria, Virginia. AAG Projects Smithsonian Institution Research Information System (SIRIS) • We hope you have many occasions to access the GCA Collection images on the SIRIS search page at www.siris.si.edu. This web site features over 1.9 million catalog records for library and archival holdings throughout the Smithsonian! Although AAG accounts for less than 2% of that total (33,000+ catalog records), its holdings garnered over 200,000 search hits in SIRIS in 2012! Our challenge now is to revisit early GCA Collection catalog records on SIRIS that are not linked to images in order to address any relevant copyright and use issues. Digital Submissions It has been four years since AAG’s Digital Submission Policy was launched! 75% of the submissions received in 2012 included digital images; 30% included 35mm slides (the overlap accounting for submissions with both digital images and slides). Thank you for following the standards outlined in AAG’s Digital Submission Policy. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions about eligible camera models, etc. 6 ‘Take Ten to Tag’ AAG Virtual Volunteer Initiative During American Archives Month in October, AAG promoted its Virtual Volunteer initiative that asks for the public’s help in tagging AAG images on SIRIS. Thanks to an email blast from AAG directed to library science, horticulture and landscape architecture university programs dozens of ‘virtual volunteers’ added hundreds of tags to various AAG images in SIRIS. Tagging involves adding keywords to an image which is critical when it comes time to find it again. While AAG staff assign standardized ‘authority terms’ to each image, other more common or colloquial terms that the typical user might use to search for images might be lacking which would make searching more difficult for them. Think of the many ways that we refer to a single garden feature: path, pathway, walkway, walk, etc. Public tagging helps tease out these variants that make searching easier. Visit http://www.gardens.si.edu/collections-research/virtual-volunteer.html for more details on how to become an AAG Virtual Volunteer. Digitizing Glass Lantern Slides • • • Thanks to a $26,000. grant from the Smithsonian’s Collection Care and Preservation Fund, AAG hired a contractor to inventory and re-scan close to 3,500 fragile glass lantern slides from the GCA Collection. The scans produced high-resolution images that supplant poor quality scans on SIRIS that were made several years ago. Each digital image is maintained on the Smithsonian’s Digital Asset Management System. 7 A comprehensive inventory of the 3,479 glass lantern slides in the GCA Collection was completed at the same time they were re-digitized and rehoused in archival boxes. The lantern slide for the Welles Garden in Lake Forest, Ill. (left) shows how meticulous the handtinting process was. Finding Aids Thanks to a Smithsonian Collection Information System grant, a number of AAG finding aids were uniformly updated to ensure that they meet Encoded Archival Description standards. AAG’s finding aids document what each AAG collection includes and make research access easier. AAG Mystery Gardens While the original GCA donation to the Smithsonian in 1992 was a goldmine of garden documentation, it also included hundreds of gardens that were either unidentified or lacked descriptive information and/or AAG Releases that would enable them to be made available for research use. Without basic information or permissions, the informational value of this documentation, dubbed “Mystery Gardens,” is severely limited. Please urge your clubs to visit AAG’s Mystery Gardens webpage at www.gardens.si.edu/collectionsresearch/mystery-gardensinitiative.html if they haven’t already. Be sure to contact AAG if you can solve any of these mysteries! S States with unidentified gardens in AAG Please contact AAG if you have clubs in your zone that may be interested in following up on any identified gardens in their area that lack basic descriptive information. AAG may have a client name and location for these gardens, but 8 that’s it! ANY information that can be provided about any of these gardens (many of which date from the 1960s to the 1980s) will help to rescue their story before they sink into anonymity. Please note that many of the ‘Mystery Gardens’ are not cataloged in SIRIS. AAG is happy to supply a list of relevant identified-but-lacking-information Mystery Gardens to interested clubs to get the process started. AAG especially needs help with numerous gardens in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut! Interns, Fellow and Volunteers GCA Garden History and Design Interns AAG was most fortunate to have two interns funded by the GCA’s Garden History and Design Internship in 2012! The GCA scholarship supplements a stipend that is awarded by Smithsonian Gardens; both help to attract strong candidates. Jessica Dame (University of South Carolina, Master’s in Library and Information Science) and Julie Hunter (Pratt Institute, pursuing a Master’s in Library and Information Science), joined AAG in May for ten-week internships. Jessica and Julie worked to make portions of the GCA Collection readily accessible for research use. Among the projects they worked on: cataloging scores of images from the GCA Collection for SIRIS, uploading digital images into the Smithsonian’s Digital Asset Management System, and writing a number of GHD One Minute Reports and posts for social media outlets based on the AAG collections. They accomplished an incredible amount of work during their tenure with us! GHD/AAG Interns Jessica Dame (left) and Julie Hunter. Special thanks go to the GCA Scholarship Committee and GHD Reps who made a careful review of the applicants and for all of their support. Smithsonian Gardens’ Interns Smithsonian Gardens’ Horticulture Collections Management and Education (HCME) branch (which AAG falls under) manages SG’s very active intern program: http://gardens.si.edu/get-involved/internships.html . Somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 interns join the various units of SG throughout the year for internships ranging from 10 to 16 weeks. 9 HCME hosted 3 interns during 2012 that worked on a variety of AAG-related projects including collections processing, cataloging and digitization; outreach; and social media and posts for SG’s website. o Andrew Harris recently received his Master’s in Library and Information Science at the University of South Carolina. While at SG, he divided his time between AAG (cataloging and collections processing) and educational outreach (Garden Fest and SG Newsletter). o Jessica Short also earned a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science at the University of South Carolina. She was particularly involved with the very successful ‘Take Ten to Tag’ initiative. o Kristina Borrman, who received her stipend from the Katzenberger Foundation which supports art-based internships, researched the glass lantern slides in the GCA Collection to determine which may have been photographed by Frances Benjamin Johnston. Gardens for a Beautiful America, 18951935 (insert), by historian Sam Watters, featuring hundreds of Johnston’s garden photographs was published recently. Enid A. Haupt Fellowship in Horticulture SG’s 2011-2012 Haupt Fellow, Amy McFarland (Texas A&M University, Ph.D., Horticulture; Texas State University, Master’s, Agriculture), completed an 8month fellowship with SG in August. Her research topic was Public Gardens in Urban Spaces: Inspiring a Sense of Place for Urban Populations. Joe Cialdella, the 2012-2013 Haupt Fellow, is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan. The research project he will be conducting while in residence at SG is "Gardens in the City: How Gardens Changed Communities, Landscapes and Public Spaces in American Cities in the Past and Present." The title of his dissertation is: "Landscape of Ruin and Repair: A Cultural History of Environmental Change in the Rustbelt." It examines the cultural meaning of landscape change in "rustbelt" cities, such as Detroit, Michigan. Using historic methodology, he analyzes how community gardens and parks functioned as important public spaces central to the cultural life and livelihood of American cities from the late 19th century to the present. 10 AAG Volunteers AAG’s premier volunteer, Nancy Sahli, celebrated her 13th anniversary with us in May. Over the years, she has cataloged thousands of images from the GCA Collection into SIRIS. Marca Woodhams, AAG’s volunteer of seven years, is the former librarian of the Smithsonian’s Horticulture Library and instituted the earliest collections management policies for the AAG which have successfully guided its operations for more than twenty years. During the year, Marca processed portions of the Hollerith and Poinier Collections, both of which found a home at AAG thanks to GCA members. Judith Lesser is the owner of an antique business. She assists with cataloging new garden submissions in the GCA Collection. AAG Contractor Anna Barker, a former AAG intern, was contracted on a part-time basis to assist with AAG’s Digital Asset Management System (DAMS), digitizing, cataloging and other archival tasks. Anna spent part of her time digitizing the historic glass lantern slides in the GCA Collection. She also ingested images from the GCA Collection into the Smithsonian’s Digital Asset Management System . Research Inquiries AAG staff received a total of 278 requests for information in 2012; 109 (or 40%) of the queries involved holdings in the GCA Collection. A number of requests involved landscape historians researching different historic landscapes for restoration purposes and numerous scholars and writers researching gardens for books, articles, exhibitions and lectures. In addition, AAG staff handled a number of inquiries from GCA members and GHD Reps, some of whom were writing articles for the GCA Bulletin or their club newsletters, putting together presentations or reports for their clubs or GCA Headquarters, or asking about the holdings for specific gardens in the GCA Collection. HCME staff also assisted several Smithsonian units needing SG images for outreach purposes. All AAG catalog entries in SIRIS have a link to AAG’s research query address ([email protected]). Use of GCA Collection Images Research and Outreach Of particular note are queries we received from: o a request from Historic New England to use a glass lantern slide in a guide to Hamilton House in South Berwick, Maine o a writer seeking images for an article in The Old House Journal 11 o a researcher from England using a historic glass lantern slide for garden restoration purposes o a member of the Beatrix Farrand Society researching Farrand-related materials o a Cincinnati homeowner restoring his historic garden that is documented in the GCA Collection o a garden designer interested in glass lantern slide views of her greatgrandmother’s garden that are included in the GCA Collection In 2012, GCA Collection gardens were cited or images reprinted in a number of publications, etc. including the following: o The Augusta Chronicle.com posted 3/12: announcement of the passing of early GHD Committee member Marie (Frenchie) Bush of Augusta mentions her documentation of Georgia gardens for the Smithsonian. o Malvern Patch.com (Penn.) posted 3/16: announcement that Penelope Watkins, whose garden is included in the GCA Collection, has been appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Natural Lands Trust. o The March/April issue of Delta Magazine featured an article about the GHD Committee and the Greenville, Mississippi gardens that are included in the GCA Collection. o Westport News posted 5/8: article on Sasqua GC /GCA flower show. Mentions exhibit on garden history and design that showcases a garden recently accepted by AAG. o Wall Street Journal 8/23 online article; 8/24 printed article: re: MA386 Innisfree in Nantucket, Mass. Mentions that garden was recently added to AAG. o Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 10/6 online article entitled “Designer’s classic Squirrel Hill garden named to Smithsonian archives,” Article describes recent garden submissions by the Allegheny County GC to AAG and its efforts to seek out gardens to document. http://old.postgazette.com/pg/12280/1267190-47.stm o Hartford Courant 10/21 article/obituary on Patricia Porter mentioned that her garden is included in the AAG. o Front page article on 11/11 in The Cleveland (MS) Current on the recent submission by the Greenville GC of McCartys Pottery in Merigold, MS. Hebe Splane, a former Zone IX Rep and Vice Chair of the GHD Committee is quoted! o The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) 12/6 obituary on Jimmy Graham mentions that his garden is included in the AAG. The article quotes Ruthie Bowlin, a GHD Committee volunteer for her club. Thank you for letting us know of any articles or postings you come across that refer to the GCA Collection—it is a huge help as we don’t always know (despite our best efforts) where GCA Collection images or citations will appear. Please remind your clubs to let us know if they wish to use any GCA Collection images in presentations, displays, newsletters, etc. This enables us 12 to track how the collection is being used and by whom which helps to justify our operation to Smithsonian management. GH&D Committee Outreach Materials At the fall GHD Committee meeting, each GHD Zone Rep received a CD with PowerPoint presentations on, among other things, an overview of garden history and design customized for each Zone, how to document a garden for the AAG, and both of the Smithsonian American Garden Legacy exhibitions to date that utilized dozens of images from the GCA Collection. We hope your GHD volunteers will have an opportunity to present one or more of these programs to their clubs in the future in order to highlight the critical importance of the GCA Collection and the many ways in which it is used by researchers.

The Smithsonian Gardens Newsletter comes out every quarter with articles on what the many units of Smithsonian Gardens are up to. To sign-up for this enewsletter, email [email protected] . GCA Clubs Twenty-five members of the Chevy Chase (MD) GC toured the archives in the spring after visiting some of the Smithsonian gardens. Cindy gave an overview of the history of the GCA Collection and documenting gardens for the AAG to The Fauquier and Loudon GC (VA) in September. Cindy gave a lecture on AAG at a combined meeting of the Litchfield GC and GC of Hartford in November. The turnout was terrific--approximately 75 people attended. Zone II presentation by Cindy Brown. Nora Howard, photographer. 14 During the year, individual members from the Pasadena GC (CA), Hartford GC (CT), Somerset Hills GC (NJ), and Portland GC (OR) toured the archives. Smithsonian Gardens’ 6th Annual Garden Fest AAG staff developed an exhibit for Smithsonian Gardens’ daylong Garden Fest celebration in May that highlighted community gardens. We had a number of vegetables—ordinary and exotic—on hand to get visitors talking about their own garden stories. AAG’s Garden Fest display showcased a number of images of community gardens from the GCA Collection. AAG Budget AAG’s baseline funding comes out of SG’s Horticulture Collections Management and Education branch’s annual budget.
