SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - Darned\, Patched\, and Mended: Repairing Textiles in 18th Century America
DESCRIPTION:All things will one day break. In early America\, this rule also held true\, as material items regularly and repeatedly broke\, and required repair work for continued use and preservation. Textiles—perhaps the most ubiquitous\, valuable\, and fragile materials in early America—are no exception. But what can a darned stocking\, a patched pair of breeches\, or a mended foresail tell us about early America\, and why are textile repair practices worthy of notice? \nIn this virtual presentation\, New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) Fellow Emily Whitted will utilize examples from her research in the museum and archival collections at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History to investigate the history of textile repair in early America. By locating textile repair inside early American homes and workshops\, on the decks of ships\, and inside military camps\, she will explore mending as both a labor practice and a historical model for caring deeply\, whether through economic necessity or sentiment\, for the things around us. \nThis virtual presentation is free and open to the public. Click here to register. \n\nQuestions? Contact Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, Jen Busa via email at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nImage: Darned crewelwork fragment\, New England\, 1760. Wool on linen.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Mouth to Mouth - The Tooth Trade in Washington’s World
DESCRIPTION:In 1807\, dentist John Greenwood imported 4\,300 human teeth for 432 pieces of silver from a French Surgeon dentist. Greenwood constantly sought teeth to fill the increasing demand for dentures\, bridges\, and live tooth transplants\, including crafting several sets of dentures for George Washington. Greenwood was not alone in this need as eighteenth and early nineteenth-century dentists frequently advertised to purchase human teeth\, including Connecticut-based dentist Richard Skinner. Throughout the eighteenth century\, the discourses around teeth dramatically shifted as new systems of meanings developed as white\, straight\, and complete teeth became associated with virtue and American republicanism. \nIn this virtual presentation\, Lucy Smith\, New England Regional Fellowship Consortium grantee\, will examine how this ideological shift fueled a tooth trade that traces the movement of early dentists throughout Connecticut\, across the ocean\, and at the intimate level of teeth moving from one mouth to another. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Click here to register. \nQuestions? Contact Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, Jen Busa via email at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: How Did Colonial New Englanders Cope with Mental Health Crises?
DESCRIPTION:In this virtual talk\, Professor Cornelia Dayton of the University of Connecticut will discuss on Euro-American settlers and mental health. She will discuss their repertoire of coping strategies (including conservatorships). While her research has shown that they were largely sympathetic and patient with acquaintances who struggled with depression and other mental afflictions\, White settlers’ sympathy did not extend to their Indigenous and African-descended neighbors.  \nThis virtual program is free.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Prescribing from the Bookshelf: Bibliotherapy and the use of Books as Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever turned to a book for consolation? Treasured the escape of a novel? Found comfort in a poem\, self-help book\, or simply from reading the newspaper? \nPlease join us for a virtual presentation by Historian Mary Mahoney on bibliotherapy\, or the use of books as medicine. This talk will offer an exploration of the varied ways readers\, doctors\, and librarians have imagined books as medicine in the past. Focusing on case studies from 1800 to the present\, we’ll explore some of the earliest imaginings of books on a shelf as vials of medicine that could treat all manner of ills. This talk will explore some of the earliest literary prescriptions at nineteenth-century asylums\, question what books made the best medicine in the trenches of World War I\, and beyond. Readers who prescribe themselves literary cures will learn they are not alone in the practice\, and are in fact part of a larger story about the contested uses of reading. \nThis virtual program is free.

You will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link attached\, and we will send you a reminder on the day of the program. \nQuestions? Contact Jennifer Busa\, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, at jennifer_busa@chs.org. \nAbout the Speaker \nMary Mahoney is a historian who studies the uses of books as medicine\, or bibliotherapy.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Accounting for Labor in Colonial Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual presentation by Dr. Caylin Carbonell.  Dr. Carbonell is a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who conducted research at the CMCH this past summer. \nIn seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Connecticut\, the household was the primary site of the economy. Although we often think of white male household heads as the principal movers and shakers of the colonial economy\, household economies depended equally on the collaborative labor of a mixed group of dependents\, including their wives and children\, as well as indentured\, hired\, and enslaved laborers. However\, since surviving records from the colonial period were primarily authored by white male household heads\, the labor of these other household members often remains hidden from historians. \nUsing these same account books as well as other family papers and records that survive in the collections of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History\, this presentation will consider how we might use these sources to locate the collaborative and often hidden labor of women\, children\, and both free and unfree household laborers. This talk will offer an overview of the collaborative labor that drove the early New England economy as well as an introduction to strategies that researchers might take to uncover the histories of those individuals often thought to be missing from colonial archives. \nThis virtual program is free. To secure a spot\, register now. You will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link attached\, and we will send you a reminder on the day of the program. \nQuestions? Contact Jennifer Busa\, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, at jennifer_busa@chs.org. \nAbout the Speaker \nCaylin Carbonell is a historian of early America who focuses on unfreedom and domestic labor in colonial New England. As an NEH fellow with the Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture\, she is working on her first book manuscript\, which approaches issues of race\, gender\, and power in colonial North America through innovative archival practices that reveal grounded stories of everyday life. Previously\, she received her Ph.D. in History from William & Mary in 2020 and served as the Hench Post-Dissertation Fellow at the American Antiquarian Society. \nIf you would like to make a donation to help the CMCH keep history alive\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Equine Atlantic: New England’s Horse Trade to the West Indies in the Eighteenth Century
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual presentation by Dr. Charlotte Carrington-Farmer.  Dr. Carrington-Farmer is a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who has been conducting research at the CMCH this summer. \nFrom the late seventeenth century through to the end of the eighteenth century\, countless New England vessels braved the eighteenth-century Atlantic in a quest for profit by delivering horses to the sugar colonies in the West Indies. In this virtual talk\, Dr. Carrington-Farmer will explore why New England emerged as a breeding ground for horses\, and how it came to dominate the equine trade to the sugar colonies. New England’s horse breeding and trading success were tied to the wider currents of rival empire building through the markets for sugar and slaves.   \nIn 1732\, the anonymous pamphlet\, The British empire in America lamented that the British sugar colonies “will soon be reduc’d to a Condition too wretched to be name\, and an End be put to the British Empire in America.” Others\, ranging from Members of Parliament to merchants\, described how New Englanders undermined the British sugar colonies of Barbados and Jamaica through readily providing the French and Dutch colonies with horses. New England merchants were not concerned with upholding the empire; they simply wanted to make money by shipping horses to wherever they would make the most profit. Building upon the so-called “animal turn in history\,” this presentation will reimagine Atlantic history through centring non-human animal experiences. \nThis virtual program is free. To secure a spot\, register now. You will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link attached\, and we will send you a reminder on the day of the program. \nQuestions? Contact Jennifer Busa\, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, at jennifer_busa@chs.org. \nImage: Horses operating the sugarcane crushing mill: Comble de Moulin\, New York Public Library \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Charlotte Carrington-Farmer is an Associate Professor of History at Roger Williams University\, and she specialises in early American History. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in 2010. From her dissertation\, she published a biography of Thomas Morton in: Atlantic Lives: Biographies that Cross the Ocean (Leiden and Boson: Brill\, 2014.) Her interest in dissent in seventeenth-century New England also led to her publishing a chapter entitled: ‘Roger Williams and the Architecture of Religious Liberty\,’ in Jahid Hossain Bhuiyan and Darryn Jenson eds.\, Law and Religion and the Liberal State (Oxford: Hart Publishing\, 2020.)   \nDr. Carrington-Farmer has a keen interest in equine history in the early modern Atlantic World. Her research examines the breeding and export of horses from New England to West Indies and South America and its intersection with enslaved lives and labour. She has published an article entitled ‘The Rise and Fall of the Narragansett Pacer\,’ Rhode Island History\, Winter/Spring 2018\, Volume 76\, Number 1.  She has also written a chapter entitled: ‘Trading Horses in the Eighteenth Century: Rhode Island and the Atlantic World\,’ in Kristen Guest and Monica Mattfeld\, eds.\, Equine Cultures: Horses\, Human Society\, and the Discourse of Modernity\, 1700-Present (Chicago: University of Chicago Press\, 2019)\, which won the ACRL Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Title Award 2019.  \nIf you would like to make a donation to help the CMCH keep history alive\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Cowboys and Empire: Colonial Cattle Frontiers in New England
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and visitors to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Jared Lucky\, PhD Candidate in History at Yale University.  Jared is a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who has been conducting research here this winter. \nThis comparative talk will explore an overlooked part of New England’s colonial past: the ways in which cattle\, and the cattle herders we might today call “cowboys\,” shaped European empires in America. Though it may seem surprising to search for cowboys in Massachusetts and Connecticut\, recent movements in New England historiography have made this line of inquiry not just possible\, but pressing. \nTransient rural workers—often unfree\, and sometimes of African or partially indigenous descent—played an important role in the booming early colonial cattle business. And yet little is known about these people\, and the ways in which they contributed to social\, economic\, and political life in the colonies.  Focusing on the 17th and early 18th centuries\, Jared is seeking to reexamine rural life in New England using insights gleaned from other cattle frontiers around the Atlantic. \nJared will share the results of his research at the CMCH with us during this informal presentation. \nThis program is free for CMCH members and included with admission for non-members. We will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by Tuesday\, March 31st by calling (860) 236-5621 x282 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Laboring Bodies: Dispossessed Women and Sexuality in Colonial New England
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and visitors to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Emily J. Clark\, PhD Candidate of Johns Hopkins University in the Department of the History of Medicine.  Emily is a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who will be conducting research here this fall. \nEnslaved\, servant\, and poor women made up a crucial part of colonial society. Yet\, they were often overlooked in histories of New England.  In this brown bag talk Emily will examine the intimate lives of these women using cases in which their supposedly “deviant” bodies entered the historical record– in court cases\, almshouse ledgers\, and cheap print. \nTheir bodies and labors (productive and reproductive) were used against their wills. Nonetheless\, these sources reveal laboring women’s everyday efforts to control their own bodies and sexualities. \nEmily will share the results of her research at the CMCH with us during this informal presentation. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by Tuesday\, December 10th by calling (860) 236-5621 x282 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. Questions?

SUMMARY:Seizing Citizenship: African Americans\, Colonization\, and the Pursuit of Citizenship in the Antebellum United States
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and visitors to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Kevin S. Hooper\, PhD Candidate of the University of Oklahoma. Kevin is a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellow who will be conducting research here this fall. \nDid you know African American activists used the issue of African colonization to help support their claims to U.S. citizenship? \nIn this brown bag talk Kevin will explore how African American activists used the issue of African colonization to develop a galvanized national network to support their claims to U.S. citizenship.  He argues that state governments and American Colonization Society (ACS) auxiliary organizations on the state level were settler colonial enterprises that led African Americans to appeal to the federal government directly to assert their claim to U.S. citizenship. Kevin will share the results of his research at the CMCH with us during this informal presentation. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert; bring your lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by Monday\, October 7 by calling (860) 236-5621 x282 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. Questions? Contact Jennifer Busa\, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, at jennifer_busa@chs.org. \nFree for members\, included with admission for non-members. \nImage: Anti-Slavery Banner\, 1835-1845\, CMCH 1997.13.0 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Member's Reception and Sneak Peek: Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and special guests to join us for a opening reception and gallery talk for Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow. \nBlack Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow is a traveling exhibit from the New-York Historical Society. The exhibit explores the struggle for full citizenship and racial equality that unfolded in the 50 years after the Civil War. When slavery ended in 1865\, a period of Reconstruction began. By 1868\, all persons born in the United States were citizens and equal under the law. But efforts to create an interracial democracy were contested from the start. A harsh backlash ensued\, ushering in a half century of the “separate but equal” age of Jim Crow. \nThe exhibition highlights the central role played by African Americans in advocating for their rights. It also examines the depth and breadth of opposition to black advancement. Art\, artifacts\, photographs\, and media will help visitors explore these transformative decades in American history\, and understand their continuing relevance today. \nThis exhibition has been organized by the New-York Historical Society. Lead support for Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow provided by National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. Major support provided by the Ford Foundation\, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council\, Crystal McCrary and Raymond J. McGuire\, and Agnes Gund. \nPlease let us know if you are able to join us by March 21. Call (860) 236-5621 x238 or email rsvp@chs.org \nThis exhibition has been organized by the New-York Historical Society. \nLead support for the Connecticut Historical run of Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow provided by the following: \nPremier Community Partner\n \nSupporting Community Partner\n \nSupporting Sponsors\n \n \nContributing Sponsors\n \n \n  \n
