JESSE S. WOOLEY'S FLORIDA PHOTOGRAPHS

Late in January of 1896, Jesse Sumner Wooley, a well-known photographer from Ballston Spa, New York, took passage to Florida on the S.S. Algonquin. Equipped with a hand-held Eastman Kodak Bulls-Eye camera, Wooley used his trip to St. Augustine to create a stereopticon or lantern-slide lecture about Florida. Wooley subsequently returned to Florida in the 1920s and 1930s. The photographs and text which make up this web site are the result of both his trips in 1896 and three decades later.

PARIS 1900: THE EXHIBIT OF AMERICAN NEGROES

The Exhibit of American Negroes is a reconstruction of highlights from an exhibit of the same name put together by W. E. B. DuBois, Thomas Calloway and the Historic Black Colleges for the Paris 1900 International Exposition. The original exhibit included thousands of photographs, as well as hundreds of books, pamplets and assorted documents chronicling the experience of African Americans up to the year 1900. The materials included in this reconstruction represent an overview of one of America's great collections of African-American history. Drawn primarily from materials in the Library of Congress, it was assembled and edited as a "working" web site for a CD-ROM project with Facts on File which will be published in the Spring of 1999.
