19380001626HICKORY NORTH CAROLINA NC. Good. 1938. On offer is a super original manuscript archive of three 3 handwritten diaries by Eugenia Vasseur Ivey later Bivens b. April 29th 1919 d. January 20 2011 who worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigations FBI beginning in 1942 for 35 years. Her sister Virginia also worked with the FBI. The books are all 5-year diaries dated 1938-1943 nearly full 1944-1948 2/3rds full and the last only for 1949 and about half full. Prior to her work at the FBI she attended college and taught and she may have also been a hotel clerk. While each year is not full this archive shines on a number of levels given that she writes during the war years travels a fair bit dates a lot and sometimes interesting things happen to her like meeting Norman Rockwell and getting his autograph. As a home front diary she notes blackouts air raids gas rationing and much more relating to life during the war. What may be of particular interest to historians and collectors of FBI material was the fact that she was a super diarist detailing her duties her contacts her bosses and matters from the mundane to bank robberies. We learn she quit the FBI over a transfer dispute but they came back to her months later asking her to come back which she did. We also note that she met her husband Winfred Lee 'Wint' Bivens at the FBI. She went from and average typist to a respected clerical employee and her test results and other works were highly commended it seems. Here are snippets of the early years: 1942 "March 11th Mother went to her club. I get supper. Heard that Elbert is worse so I call off my bridge club I was to have Thursday night.

For months she tells the FBI she wants to transfer to Charlotte or she will resign and finally on October 14 she does resign. After that she is out of work for several months waiting impatiently for the FBI to call for another job in the Charlotte area. Finally in 1944 she gets re-hired and spends the next 35 years with the FBI. There is also so much is happening in 1944 concerning the war and on August 6th she writes this entry about the Atomic Bomb: "August 6th 1944 Today we heard that U.S. used new and mighty bomb Atomic Bomb on the Jap Island of Hiroshima. So powerful it leaves nothing alive which it touches. 2000 times more powerful then B-29 bomb. Levels steel and everything. Wipes out whole cities. Terrible." Besides trips to places like Quebec in 1949 the most extensive seems to be in 1947 when she and her sister take a month and a half trip to the West Coast : "October 18th Thought I would go home after work today but decided not to and decided to go to office party at agent's house they rent out on river. Mr. and Mrs. Cole took me. About 50 or more there mostly married couples. We drank and danced. Had a fine time. I had a time with key and Mr. Cole had to come help me open door at 2 A.M."

1923182347Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins Company 1923. Eugenics grows in America First editions of both volumes of the papers from the second international eugenics congress; from the library of the American Eugenics Society with their stamp to the front free endpapers. The three international eugenics congresses were the central forum for the worldwide eugenics movement to share papers and propose policies. Britain hosted the first congress in 1912 at the University of London. The second congress took place at the American Museum of Natural History in New York in September 1921. Henry Fairfield Osborn presided Alexander Graham Bell was the honorary president and the key guest speaker was Leonard Darwin the son of Charles who advocated measures to eliminate the unfit. The third congress met in 1932 at the same venue. The American Eugenics Society was founded in 1922 in the aftermath of the second congress and only dissolved in 2019. It was the main American body promoting eugenics in the 1920s during which eugenic policies were introduced in numerous American states and immigration quotas were set to limit immigration from outside western and northern Europe. The papers of the congress show the breadth of the movement which was at the forefront of scientific research at the time. Some are reputable studies of heredity traits but most include panic-stricken notions of national decline due to the increase of undesired races and peoples:. The papers include "Some Notes on the Jewish problem" "Negro-White Intermixture and Intermarriage" and "The War from the Eugenic point of view". 2 vols octavo. With frontispieces and 45 plates. Original blue cloth spines lettered in gilt. Faint shadow of removed label to spines. Light rubbing and very light wear at extremities contents clean and unmarked save for trivial notations on contents pages. A very good copy. hardcover

1997407747New Mexico: Arena Editions 1997. A near-fine copy with some slight toning along the sheet edges few bumps on boards dust jacket lightly worn. 12.5 x 9.75 inches. 112 pages. Boards; dust jacket. Second edition. "Adam Fuss has emerged as one of the bold and truly creative artists utilizing photography today. Fuss's photograms clearly break from those of his predecessors Man Ray Moholy-Nagy and Talbot and while striking a chord of homage the images redefine how and what we see in pictures viscerally and intellectually. Like an eighteenth-century experimenter Fuss utilizes organic and raw materials in an unusual approach revealing spiritual and emotional process. Live snakes the entrails of rabbits eggs cow liver sperm flowers and stained glass circumscribe the vital often mysterious energies emitted from these pictures. This book the first major monograph of the artist's work to date has been widely acclaimed as one of the finest art books of 1997. The reprint appears in conjunction with the artist's mid-career retrospective at the Fotomuseum Winterthur Switzerland." <br/><br/> Arena Editions hardcover books
