The annual seminar is designed to introduce students to the practice of preparing an exhibition and catalogue. Working with objects drawn from three separate collections, members of the seminar organized the material into major themes and prepared the following thematic essays and exhibition didactics. Their research and planning have been supported by a variety of gifted and dedicated college and museum professionals. The members of the seminar would like to join me in thanking members of the Cumberland County Historical Society in Carlisle for loaning a number of important works to the exhibition and for providing access to their invaluable resources related to the Carlisle Indian School. In particular, we would like to thank its director, Linda Witmer, and curators, Wayne E. Mott and Richard Tritt, for meeting our every request with professionalism and enthusiasm. We thank Lonna Malmsheimer from the Department of American Studies at Dickinson College and Barbara Landis from the Cumberland County Historical Society for sharing with us their extensive knowledge of the history of the Carlisle Indian School. At Dickinson College, we thank the staff at Waidner-Spahr Library, particularly Jane Schroeder and Jim Gerencser of Archives and Special Collections, for allowing The Trout Gallery to borrow its collection of Carlisle Indian School photographs and for providing access to the library's important primary and secondary resources. We also thank Christine Bombaro for making her research services available to members of the seminar. Special gratitude is due to Kim Nichols and Pat Pohlman in the office of publications for their skillful design of this catalogue and seeing it through production under the challenging deadlines posed by the project. We thank Pierce Bounds for providing photographs for the catalogue and Heidi Hormel for making this exhibition known to a wider audience. We also thank members of the Department of Art and Art History, particularly Sharon Hirsh and Melinda Schlitt, for creating and developing the concept for the methods seminar and for providing much appreciated support and assistance. Finally, thanks is due to members of The Trout Gallery who helped make this exhibition possible. Stephanie Keifer, the museum's administrative assistant, copy edited the final catalogue and provided essential organizational services. James Bowman prepared the objects and worked with members of the seminar to design and install the exhibition. Wendy Pires and Dottie Reed organized and promoted the various outreach programs to area schools and community centers. Sylvia Kauffman, Rosalie Lehman, and Sue Curzi assisted with the outreach programs and provided essential visitor services. This exhibition raises a number of challenging issues. We hope that we have been faithful to the lives and memories of those who played a part in the Carlisle Indian School during its thirty-nine year history.

The loose drawings, once bound in a ledger book, document events from 1828 to 1929, a period that brought unprecedented change to the Kiowas. Greene opens her study with an introduction to the Kiowa calendar tradition, followed by two shorter chapters dealing specifically with Silver Horn’s calendar at the SNOMNH. Chapter 4 presents the 64 surviving sheets that once formed the ledger book. Since almost all of the calendar versos are blank, only the drawings on the rectos are reproduced. The sheets measure 6”x15” and have been reproduced 50% of their original size and oriented top to bottom in order to provide the largest images possible within the book’s dimensions. The drawings are reproduced on the book’s versos with correspon...

It focuses on what were once two fully intact books of drawings, one by Zotom (Kiowa), the other by Howling Wolf (Cheyenne). Treated earlier in Dorothy Dunn\u27s 1877: Plains Indian Sketch Books of Zo-Tom and Howling Wolf (1969), and, with respect to Howling Wolf, in Szabo\u27s Howling Wolf and the History of Ledger Art (1994), the books receive here a comprehensive analysis that considers not only the artists and their drawings, but, most significantly, their patron

Car ce nouveau sujet d'exposition recouvre de nouveaux questionnements autour de l'identite collective des societes contemporaines. Aux Etats-Unis, au Canada, en Australie ou en France, comment des institutions specifiques abordent-elles l'histoire de l'immigration ? Comment la rattachent-elles au fait national ? Quel discours d'inclusion tissent-elles ? Quel imaginaire social les traverse ? Rencontrant les memoires des migrants, la museographie devient moyen de reconnaissance, vecteur de visibilite. Musee receptacle d'une communaute ethnique. Musee virtuel documentant en ligne le passe d'une ville d'immigrants. Politique d'exposition sur la diversite des memoires a l'echelle d'un espace regional... Autant d'experiences mises ici en perspective par des universitaires et des conservateurs francais et etrangers. Mais ces themes n'emergent pas sans debat ni dissensus. Et ce qui se joue a cette occasion gagne a etre evoque au regard d'autres heritages conflictuels. D'ou les analyses sur les limites de la prise en charge patrimoniale de l'esclavage aux Antilles, le point de vue indigene dans les "societes de colons", ou les affrontements memoriels a propos du passe colonial francais. Enfin, c'est hors des murs du musee qu'il faut regarder. Car c'est aussi par l'action culturelle au sens large que passent de tels enjeux. Du travail d'associations de terrain pour promouvoir les memoires de "l'autre" ou des "Suds" aupres du grand public, jusqu'aux projets en gestation a l'echelle europeenne autour du patrimoine des migrations.

The annual seminar is designed to introduce students to the practice of preparing an exhibition and catalogue. Working with objects drawn from The Trout Gallery's permanent collection and private collections, members of the seminar selected and researched the works in the exhibition, organized them into major themes, and prepared the following thematic essays and exhibition didactics. Their work is supported by several gifted and dedicated college and museum professionals. Inked Impressions is made possible in large measure by collectors who have built The Trout Gallery's impressive collection of nineteenth-and early twentieth-century prints. The majority of the works in this exhibition are the gifts of four donors: Eric Denker, class of 1975, Mrs. Grace Linn, Charles Coleman Sellers, and Miss Mildred Sawyer. We are grateful for their generosity. We wish to pay special recognition to Eric Denker, for his support and assistance on this project.
