The War Between the States was the first large and prolonged conflict recorded by photography. During the war, dozens of photographers, both as private individuals and as employees of the Confederate and Union Governments, photographed civilians and civilian activities; military personnel, equipment, and activities; and the locations and aftermaths of battles. Because wet-plate collodion negatives required from 5 to 20 seconds exposure, there are no action photographs of the war. The name Mathew B. Brady is almost a synonym for Civil War photography. Though Brady himself actually may have taken only a few photographs of the war, he employed many of the other well-known photographers before and during the war. Alexander Gardner and James F. Gibson at different times managed Brady's Washington studio. Timothy O'Sullivan, James Gardner, and Egbert Guy Fox were also employed by Brady during the conflict. The pictures listed in this publication are in the Still Picture Branch of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Photographs included in this leaflet have been listed under one of four main headings: activities, places, portraits, and Lincoln's assassination. Items in the first two parts are arranged under subheadings by date, with undated items at the end of each subheading. Photographs of artworks have also been included in the list. Any item not identified as an artwork is a photograph. And an index to photographers follows the list. The National Archives Trust Fund was established by Congress in 1941 to receive gifts or bequests to finance specific projects of the National Archives. The funds were to be administered by the newly created National Archives Trust Fund Board on behalf of the National Archives. The first gift of $30,000 was designated for the preservation of a collection of permanently valuable sound recordings. In 1948, an amendment to the National Archives Act permitted the Archivist to deposit into the Trust Fund the proceeds from the sale of reproductions of records. A gift from the Rockefeller Foundation that year for financing the reproduction of records enabled the National Archives to begin its records reproduction program and to effectively turn the Trust Fund into a revolving fund. The Presidential Libraries Act of 1955 further expanded the Trust Fund by authorizing the deposit of gifts and the proceeds from museum admission fees and sales of reproductions, catalogs, and related items to a specific Presidential Library Archives Trust Fund account for each library, where the funds would be administered and expended on behalf of the library. The National Archives and Records Administration Act of 1984, which became effective April 1, 1985, authorized the board to use, on a reimbursable basis, the services and employees of NARA and other Federal agencies in carrying out its activities and to actively solicit donations to the fund. The Presidential Libraries Act of 1986 required that private endowments, linked to the size of the facilities, be available prior to creating a Presidential archival depository. The Archivist is required to establish in the Trust Fund separate endowments for each Presidential archival depository. The income from the investment of such endowments is used to offset a portion of the maintenance costs for the libraries.

Condition: very good. Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2003. Paperback.xiii, 298 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. (Contemporary philosophers in focus). - Contemporary Philosophy in Focus offers a series of introductory volumes to many of the dominant philosophical thinkers of the current age. Thomas Kuhn (1922-1996), the author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, is probably the best-known and most influential historian and philosopher of science of the last 25 years, and has become something of a cultural icon. His concepts of paradigm, paradigm change and incommensurability have changed the way we think about science. This volume offers an introduction to Kuhn's life and work and then considers the implications of Kuhn's work for philosophy, cognitive psychology, social studies of science and feminism. The volume is more than a retrospective on Kuhn, exploring future developments of cognitive and information services along Kuhnian lines. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9780521796484.
