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. The present map of the Louisiana coastline is notable for the inclusion of the Atchafalaya Basin the nation's largest river swamp containing 1 million acres of America's most significant bottomland hardwoods swamps bayous and backwater lakes. It also is home to a diverse wildlife population containing 65 species of reptiles and amphibians 100 species of fish and 250 species of birds containing the largest nesting concentration of bald eagles in the south central United States. The map also notes Marsh Island which was deeded to the state in 1920 the year this map was produced.

Large tall folio. Handmade binding composed of large white artist's canvas panels duct-taped together along spines. Minor wear and dust soiling. An extraordinary pair of large-format lovingly-composed scrapbooks produced to document the history and achievements of the Monroe-Grambling chapter of the Links Incorporated a local Louisiana chapter of a notable national service organization comprised of and dedicated to supporting African-American women. According to a printed notice on the first page of the earlier scrapbook: "This book is intended to trace the history of the Monroe-Grambling Chapter of the Links Incorporated and to highlight a selected number of achievements." <br /> <br /> The compilers of the scrapbooks document the group's activities through original photographs ephemeral items such as programs certificates and documents and a legion of newspaper clippings most of which also picture members of the group. The contents are then artfully arranged with scrapbook elements such as ribbon construction paper frames manuscript headings and so forth. The ephemera in both scrapbooks include officer lists and event programs for chapter meetings banquets youth service events and so forth. The scrapbooks memorialize highlights of the Monroe chapter from its founding in 1973 through 1991. The scrapbooks memorialize the chapter's first meeting initiations from various years the chapter presidents service and volunteer events youth pageants arts festivals workshops namely the Beautillion Workshop over different years and more. The great majority of these moments are captured in original photographs or photographically-illustrated newspaper clippings.<br /> <br /> In general the Links Incorporated's volunteer efforts center around youth global awareness and the arts for which the chapter was recognized by numerous other organizations evidenced by the run of certificates near the end of the first scrapbook received from Grambling State University some of the school's Greek chapters the Monroe Mayor's Commission on the Needs of Women and Women in the Mainstream the Girl Scouts Carver Elementary School and more. The first scrapbook ends with a long run of pages celebrating "Individual Achievement" by various member as well as a few pages of "Connecting Links" to prominent local citizens including Grambling State's legendary head football coach Eddie Robinson.<br /> <br /> The second scrapbook picks up where the first leaves off documenting chapter activities for 1990 and 1991 but is much shorter. This second scrapbook includes material similar to the first but also a page dedicated to Founder's Day nine original photographs and the "Cultural Programme" from a chapter event titled "A Tribute to the Black Woman" and two programs for events during Black Heritage Month including one honoring the aforementioned Coach Eddie Robinson "the 'winningest' coach in football history".<br /> <br /> According to the organization's website: "The Links Incorporated is an international not-for-profit corporation established in 1946. The membership consists of more than 17000 professional women of African descent in 299 chapters located in 41 states the District of Columbia the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and the United Kingdom.

196328031New Orleans 1963. Very Good -. New Orleans: ca. 1960-1965. Large oblong quarto 27x41cm.; brown gilt-tooled leatherette bound with leather strap; 47ll. to which are mounted 311 photographic snapshots nearly all black and white and measuring 8.5x8.5cm. Album a bit scuffed at extremities joints significantly cracked from use and poor quality of leatherette leaves a bit thumbed along fore-edge margins a number of photographs apparently removed though otherwise Good to Very Good contents that remain mostly in fine condition.<br /> <br /> Extensive though sadly uncaptioned personal photo album of a young white woman in New Orleans in the early to mid-1960s documenting her social family and work life date based on shots time-stamped 1963 and 1964. What we have gathered from the contents the compiler worked at least briefly as a server at a diner whose staff was mixed-race though still separated by position: the servers all appear to be white while the grill cooks and kitchen staff are Black. <br /> <br /> Of special note are the compiler's frequent trips to the Pontchartrain Beach amusement park in New Orleans a popular destination in the 1960s though the park was sold and its rides disbursed in the 1980s due to declining attendance. This album however beautifully captures its heyday including shots of the rides carnival games swimming pool tiki bar and a perennial favorite an oversized head inside of which our compiler loved to pose. <br /> <br /> The compiler as well as being a dog-lover was evidently a serious party-goer and additional snapshot vignettes capture various couples making out at a New Year's party or dressed up for Halloween. <br /> <br /> An excellent record of white New Orleans working class life marking the advent of the Swinging Sixties. unknown
193114390Minden LA 1931. Very Good. Minden LA: 1931. Original black and white photograph 15.5x25.5cm. depicting the girls' basketball team alongside their coach Mr. Russ each player identified in ink manuscript along bottom of image. Photograph slightly curled with very small flaw at bottom of image else Very Good overall. Misidentifying manuscript label mounted to verso identifying the team in "Shreveport LA / Circa 1947 / Washington ".<br /> <br /> The label is a red herring misdating and misplacing the photograph sixteen years late and thirty miles west. The center player holds a basketball dated '31 nineteen years before Booker T. Washington High School was founded. The school almost certainly is Webster High School in Minden Louisiana thirty miles east. The building in the background and the women's slightly mismatching uniforms conform to those depicted in W.L.G. Abney's 1950s booklet "The History of Webster High School." Indeed the simple whitewashed wooden structure sitting on a brick pile foundation appears to be either the back of the dormitory or the newly-completed library the ground still unpaved dirt. <br /> <br /> The story of the founding of Webster High School less than ten years earlier in 1922 displays the dedication and financial burden of a Black community in the heart of the Jim Crow South. According to Abney's history a Colored Board of Trustees comprised of members of the community first set out to find a suitable site for a new school settling on a piece of land "owned and occupied as a home by one of Minden's colored citizens Mr. Henry Harris who was perfectly happy there and had no desire to sell." Abney glosses over the displacement of Harris but the site was secured and approved by the White Parish board "with the understanding that the colored people themselves would have to make substantial financial contribution if they were to secure this site because no money had been budgeted for the cause at that time." Indeed by 1931 the list of state-sponsored schools in Louisiana for White and Black students was sixty-eight to four. Webster was not one of those four schools. <br /> <br /> As Abney's history delineates however the money was raised by the community through the leadership and outreach of the Colored Board of Trustees and by 1931 a library had been erected and numerous sports teams active. The date is also significant as it coincides with the founding of two of the first all-Black all-women's professional basketball clubs the Philadelphia Tribune Girls and the Chicago Romas. Perhaps these pioneering teams inspired the formation of Webster High School's girls' basketball team. In any case the members listed are as follows: Coach Mr. Russ Tena Lowery Hazel Garrett Willie Stewart B. Green M. Ford Bran Watson M. Gafford E. McCorey Ella B. Gafford Lorscie Henry and Louella Ruffin. unknown
