Issues highlighted in the files include the removing of Ba’athist influence in Iraq, reconstructing the disbanded Iraqi army, fostering civil society, addressing a growing insurgency directed against United States and coalition forces, restoring basic public services, and responding to torture and human rights abuses by United States soldiers at the Abu Ghraib Prison. Also discussed are the capture of Saddam Hussein by United States forces on December 14, 2003, President George W. Bush’s secret trip to Baghdad on Thanksgiving Day 2003, and the formal transfer of sovereignty to the Iraq Interim Government on June 28, 2004.</p> <div id="attachment_1688" style="width: 213px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/files/2021/09/Bremer_b10_f1_notes_p2_2004_04_13.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1688" class="size-medium wp-image-1688" src="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/files/2021/09/Bremer_b10_f1_notes_p2_2004_04_13-203x300.png" alt="Bremer’s handwritten notes from an April 13, 2004, meeting with Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, and Generals John Abizaid and Peter Pace on increased violence in Fallujah, Iraq." width="203" height="300" srcset="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/files/2021/09/Bremer_b10_f1_notes_p2_2004_04_13-203x300.png 203w, https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/files/2021/09/Bremer_b10_f1_notes_p2_2004_04_13-692x1024.png 692w, https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/files/2021/09/Bremer_b10_f1_notes_p2_2004_04_13-768x1136.png 768w, https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/files/2021/09/Bremer_b10_f1_notes_p2_2004_04_13.png 848w" sizes="(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-1688" class="wp-caption-text">Bremer’s handwritten notes from an April 13, 2004, meeting with Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, and Generals John Abizaid and Peter Pace on increased violence in Fallujah, Iraq.

His speeches address the dominant issues of the Cold War’s final decade: arms control, international trade and commerce, tensions between the United States and Soviet Union, relations with NATO allies, and cultural diplomacy. Bremer’s speeches, editorials, and interviews from his work on terrorism and counterterrorism policy beginning in the mid-1980s when he served as United States Ambassador-at-Large for Counterterrorism are housed in the collection. Supplementing these records are documents from Bremer’s consulting work as managing director of Kissinger Associates, chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Marsh Crisis Consulting, and as Chairman of the bipartisan National Commission on Terrorism, known as the “Bremer Commission” from 1999 to 2000, which predicted a massive terrorist attack on the American homeland.

Co-curated by University Archivist Michael Lotstein and Charlotte Keathley, Class of 2022 (Ezra Stiles College), this exhibit explores how the sudden decision to bring coeducation to Yale College in 1969 impacted the buildings and spaces of the Yale campus, which had been conceived and built to house and educate men for the previous 250 years.</p> <p>Included in the exhibit are university records, photographs, and digitized audio-visual materials which document how in a few short months university administration planned and reconfigured both Vanderbilt Hall and the residential colleges to safely and comfortably house the incoming women; how the implementation of coeducation impacted student life on campus; how the women, through sheer force of will, successfully carved out spaces for themselves on this previously all-male campus; and how the male and female students united in the face of the mounting social and political changes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.</p> <p>For more information about the exhibit, please contact the University Archives at: <a href="mailto:archives@yale.edu">archives@yale.edu</a>.</p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links">Posted in</span> <a href="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/category/current-exhibits/" rel="category tag">Exhibits</a>, <a href="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/category/yale-history/" rel="category tag">Yale History</a> </span> </footer><!-- .entry-meta --> </article><!-- #post-1680 --> <article id="post-1677" class="post-1677 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-collections"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/archival-processing-work-at-manuscripts-and-archives-april-july-2021/" rel="bookmark">Archival Processing Work at Manuscripts and Archives, April-July 2021</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="sep">Posted on </span><a href="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/archival-processing-work-at-manuscripts-and-archives-april-july-2021/" title="2:17 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2021-07-06T14:17:49+00:00">July 6, 2021</time></a><span class="by-author"> <span class="sep"> by </span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/author/ac2254/" title="View all posts by Alison" rel="author">Alison</a></span></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><em>The following information on recent archival processing work at Manuscripts and Archives (MSSA) was written by Alison Clemens, Head of Processing.</em></p> <p>MSSA processing staff have begun to transition back to regular onsite work in the Sterling Memorial Library (SML) building and have therefore processed both traditional and born-digital archival materials (i.e., materials that were created in computer environments) over the past three months.

He went on to teach in the Department of Civil Engineering at Yale for 46 years, including serving 22 years as the department chairman. Tracy is known to many engineering students for his important work on plane surveying. His 1907 book <a href="https://archive.org/details/planesurveyinga01tracgoog" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Plane Surveying: A Textbook and Pocket Manual </em></a>is still considered by many scholars to be a key piece of work in building today’s knowledge on the topic.</p> <p>At the very beginning of his extensive time at Yale, Tracy participated in some extracurricular activities, including the 1890 Yale Track Team. While he may not have made a career out of his speed, he was certainly competitive as seen at a track meet on <a href="https://ydnhistorical.library.yale.edu/?a=d&d=YDN18891028-01&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-tracy+%2790+s+track------" target="_blank" rel="noopener">October 26, 1889 where he ran the 100-yard dash in 10.6 seconds</a>. He also served as a judge for several Yale track meets for events including the javelin throw and dashes.</p> <p>Yet it was his seemingly forgotten role in a track world record that truly merged his two passions for running and civil engineering.</p> <p>Jesse Owens was a young, Black track runner who had a brief, impressive career in the track world. He is largely known for the four gold medals won at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and the many world records he held throughout his career. Perhaps most notably, at a May 25, 1935, collegiate track meet at the University of Michigan’s Ferry Field, Owens broke four world records in the timeframe of 45 minutes. Today, Owens is also known as the first man to ever run the 100-meter dash in 10.2 seconds, setting a record that stood until Willie Williams ran it in 10.1 seconds two decades later. Owens held the 100-meter dash world record longer than anyone since.</p> <p>However, this record was almost never awarded to Owens, through no fault of his own.</p> <p>On June 20, 1936, Jesse Owens ran 100 meters in 10.2 seconds, which was a tenth of a second faster than the current world record. Unfortunately, a standard post-race measurement of the course found the length to be 1.5 centimeters short. Despite the fact that Owens was clearly on track to still beat the record if he had gone an extra 1.5 centimeters, officials determined this race would not stand as a world record.</p> <div id="attachment_1672" style="width: 240px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/files/2021/06/ms_502_b4_f13_1937May8_p1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1672" id="longdesc-return-1672" class="size-medium wp-image-1672" tabindex="-1" src="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/files/2021/06/ms_502_b4_f13_1937May8_p1-230x300.jpg" alt="Letter from John C.

In March 1937, John Tracy wrote to Jesse Owens’ Ohio State University track coach, Larry Snyder, inquiring about how the measurements of the track were performed. Over the next few months, Tracy was brought into the fold of several other individuals all working to prove Owens’ record should be ratified. In addition, the men discussed a broader goal of setting permanent, international measurement standards to prevent these issues in the future. It is worth noting that their discussion includes the effect temperature would have on a steel measuring tape, and today the World Athletics Organization’s current <em>Track and Field Facilities Manual</em> has detailed instructions on exactly how to account for temperature.</p> <p>As you can see in the May 8, 1937 letter above, Tracy wrote to Paul R. Jordan, chairman of the Records Committee at the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) of the United States, about the issue. Tracy explains that his expertise on the issue of errors in measurement is two-fold, stemming both from his experience as a judge at track meets as well as his extensive work on plane surveying.</p> <div id="attachment_1671" style="width: 241px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/files/2021/06/ms_502_b4_f13_PermissibleErrors_p1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1671" id="longdesc-return-1671" class="size-medium wp-image-1671" tabindex="-1" src="https://campuspress.yale.edu/mssa/files/2021/06/ms_502_b4_f13_PermissibleErrors_p1-231x300.jpg" alt=""Permissible Errors in Measurements on Running Tracks" by John C.

Tracy submitted his report, entitled “Permissible Errors in Measurements on Running Tracks,” to the AAU Records Committee.

MSSA processing staff are still working primarily remotely but have had occasional access to the Sterling Memorial Library (SML) building. We have therefore processed both traditional and born-digital archival materials (i.e., materials that were created in computer environments) over the past three months. MSSA processing staff have improved descriptions for approximately twenty born-digital accessions of materials since January 2021, and I’ll point to some highlights of that work in this post.</p> <p>Since my last post in January, MSSA staff have made available the several collections and additions to existing collections, including:</p> <p><a href="https://archives.yale.edu/repositories/12/archival_objects/3252781">Phineas Fiske Lesson Book, Circa 1706 (addition to Yale Course Lectures Collection, RU 159)</a></p> <p>The Phineas Fiske lesson book was compiled by Phineas Fiske, a graduate of the class of 1704 of the Collegiate School, which was renamed Yale University in 1717. The lesson book was likely used while Fiske was a tutor between 1706 and 1713. The book contains material covering logic, physics, and ethics, and is written primarily in English, except for the section on ethics, which is written in Latin.</p> <p><a href="http://hdl.handle.net/10079/fa/mssa.ru.0886">School of Architecture, Yale University, Records Concerning Events and Exhibitions (accessions 2005-A-085 and 2005-A-099, additions to RU 866)</a></p> <p>Accession 2005-A-099 includes 2 CDs containing digital images documenting the 2004 exhibit “PSFS: Nothing More Modern.” Accession 2005-A-085 includes 1 CD containing digital images of the 2004 exhibition “Light Structures – The work of Jorge Schlaich and Rudolf Bergermann.”</p> <p><a href="http://hdl.handle.net/10079/fa/mssa.ms.1844">Centerbrook Architects and Planners Records (MS 1844 born-digital material)</a></p> <p>The records document projects undertaken by Centerbrook Architects and Planners, LLC.
