1951229201951. Jim Crow Florida Segregated public facility photograph archive from Clearwater Florida by George Fulmer 1951. Collection consists of 14 photographs including 7 black-and-white photographs and 7 associated film negatives documenting African American children in a newly opened library and schoolyard as well as a segregated swimming-pool planning meeting attended by city officials. Produced by George Fulmer Clearwater's longtime municipal photographer and WWII U.S. Navy enlisted photographer these images survive in their original studio proof envelopes from the George Fulmer Estate recovered after the 2014-2015 demolition of the Fulmer Studio which had stood beside the Clearwater Courthouse for over 65 years. The photographs measure 3.5" x 5" and the negatives are on Kodak safety film measuring 4" x 5" each. <br /> <br /> This archive captures two deeply revealing moments in the segregated civic history of mid-century Florida. The first packet labeled and dated to summer 1951 presents five photographs of Black schoolchildren reading playing circle games outdoors and participating in early library programming clear evidence of segregated educational resources but also of Black childhood joy and community-building within constrained circumstances. A white librarian or teacher is visible at the front of the classroom underscoring the racialized hierarchy embedded in Florida's school system prior to Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. The second packet likely taken only weeks apart based on Fulmer's original numbering system documents a group of white and Black men gathered around architectural plans for a segregated municipal swimming pool. The interracial nature of the planning body illuminates the complex often unequal negotiations around public development in Jim Crow Florida where recreational segregation remained legal until at least 1954-1955. These photographs represent an unusual visual record of the bureaucratic process behind segregated facilities.<br /> <br /> As part of the vast body of more than 100000 photographs preserved from Fulmer's studio much of which was claimed by the local historical society this small group represents a scarce surviving fragment of Clearwater's visual civic record with Fulmer's estate retaining a curated exhibition core and only limited dispersal of individual images. Fulmer documented weddings police activities construction projects civic events and wartime subjects but photographs relating to segregated facilities especially of Black children and community spaces are extremely limited in the archive. These images therefore constitute an important resource for researchers of Jim Crow Florida Black educational history municipal segregation and postwar Southern urban development. Photographs and negatives are crisp and clean only expressing minimal edge wear. Original Fulmer Studio proof envelopes present annotated in pencil with job numbers and subjects. Comes with two certificates of authenticity from the Fulmer estate. Overall very good condition. unknown

The album also contains views of the wreck of the Maine Morro Castle the interior of Fort Cabanas and more. The travelers managed to wander outside Havana for a day when they ventured to the countryside and the town of Guines on March 23.

A rare original coastal survey of the central Florida coast around Cedar Keys.<br/> <br/> Established by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807 as the Survey of the Coast the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was the United States' first civilian scientific agency. This agency has followed its mission to survey the U.S. coastline create nautical charts of the coast and help increase maritime safety since its founding and has often played fascinating roles in significant chapters of U.S. history. It served in all theaters of the Civil War in the service of the Union Army and Navy pioneered acoustic exploration in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic and during WWI it worked to detect enemy submarines. In addition this agency worked to survey and produce detailed maps and renderings of the U.S. coast. These nautical survey maps commonly referred to as "T-sheets" provide fascinating insights into the history of the United States coastline which has and will continue to shift. These maps are the most important data source for understanding the physical and ecological characteristics of the U.S. shoreline.

1960230921960. Cuban Refugees Caravan of Sorrow Miami Herald press photograph archive 1960 to 1966 documents Cuban exile political organizing refugee displacement and United States federal response in South Florida across the critical period between the Cuban Revolution and the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966. The archive follows a defined sequence of events beginning with the September 1960 Caravan of Sorrow protest a demonstration organized by Cuban exile women traveling from Miami to New York to confront Fidel Castro's appearance at the United Nations and continues through the January 5 1961 closure of the Cuban consulate in Miami following the United States' severance of diplomatic relations on January 3. Subsequent photographs document the Kennedy administration's February 1961 Cuban Refugee Assistance Program centered at Miami's Freedom Tower the March 10-12 1962 Bayfront Park hunger strike in which 152 Cuban exiles demanded arms rather than humanitarian aid the October 1965 Key West arrivals during the Camarioca boatlift initiated on October 10 and the beginning of the federally organized Freedom Flights on December 1 1965. Produced by Miami Herald staff photographers Albert Coya and John Pineda both active documentarians of the Cuban exile community the archive establishes a continuous visual record of exile political life and federal refugee policy during the early Cold War.<br /> <br /> Archive of 12 Large silver gelatin press photographs Miami Herald South Florida 1960 to 1966 Each 10 x 8 inches to 9 x 7 inches with original verso annotations including dates photographer credits editorial markings crop notations and attached newspaper clippings consistent with Miami Herald press photo processing practices. Verso credits identify Albert Coya and John Pineda as staff photographers. Documented subjects include the Caravan of Sorrow bus and assembled Cuban women protesters; the January 5 1961 Cuban consulate closure; refugee intake and processing operations; the Bayfront Park hunger strike accompanied by a clipped headline reading "Exiles Seek Arms Not Aid; 152 Hunger Strikers Freed" dated March 14 1962; police arrests of demonstrators; October 1965 Key West refugee arrivals; and anti-Castro protests. Two photographs dated March 14 1962 document Cuban exiles being forcibly removed by police including one image in which a protester is carried by multiple officers and another showing an individual being thrown into a police van by armed officers providing direct visual evidence of state enforcement against exile demonstrators. One photograph depicts Costa Rican diplomat Gonzalo Facio addressing or attending a Cuban exile rally in April 1964 situating the archive within a broader hemispheric diplomatic context. Additional images show a speaker addressing a large crowd police escorting a detained protester Cuban women aboard a vessel and interior scenes of stacked materials in a processing facility including a sign reading "Se Prohiben Terminantemente." Verso notations such as "Cuban Prisoners Released 1962" "Cuban Refugees" "Anti-Castro Demonstration" and "Cuban Consulate" reflect contemporaneous editorial classification.<br /> <br /> The six-year span of the archive crosses three presidential administrations and documents multiple defining events in Cuban American history through photographs produced on assignment at the moment of occurrence. The Caravan of Sorrow images carry particular research value given later declassification of United States involvement through the Cuban Revolutionary Council placing these photographs among the few contemporaneous visual records outside government archives. The March 1962 Bayfront Park hunger strike occurring after the Bay of Pigs prisoner negotiations and before the Cuban Missile Crisis is documented with attached newspaper evidence confirming both the number of participants and their political demands providing direct insight into divisions within the exile community over United States policy. Light handling wear edge silvering and areas of foxing are present across prints; verso clippings show toning and occasional edge loss consistent with newsroom use. Overall good to very good condition. A cohesive photographer-attributed press archive documenting the development of Cuban exile political identity and United States refugee policy in South Florida during the formative early Cold War period. unknown
