Her parents were physician Hayes Joseph Burnett and tennis player Roberta (\"Bertha\") Ball Burnett. She was the eldest of four children and grew up in Montclair, New Jersey. ","She graduated from Miner Normal School, Washington D.C. in 1925 with the intention of becoming a teacher. Wesley worked as a library assistant in the Miner Normal School library where she worked with librarian Lula V. Allan (1879-1968) who encouraged her to pursue a career in library science. Wesley enrolled in Howard University in 1926 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1928. She then enrolled at Colombia University's School of Library Science where she received a Master's in Library Science in 1931. ","In 1929 Dorothy married artist and art history professor James Amos Porter (1905-1970) with whom she had her only daughter, Constance \"Coni\" Porter Uzelac (1939-2012). James A. Porter graduated with honors from Howard University in 1927 and began teaching art there the next semester. His classic book and standard reference work,  Modern Negro Art , proved to be one of the most informative sources to date on the creativity of the Black artists.","In 1930, Dorothy Porter began work as curator of the Moorland Foundation at Howard University, (now known as the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center) and worked to build the library's collections documenting African, African American, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Hispanic history and culture. After becoming the Curator at Howard University in 1930, started thinking about how to catalog books by Black authors and related to Black history and culture. At the time, she recognized that the Dewey Decimal System only had two numbers (for \"Slavery\" and for \"Colonization\") under which all works related to Black people or Black authors could be cataloged. In response, during the first few years of her Curatorship, she created a new classification system that reflected the true breadth of the books available on topics related to Black people and by Black authors. She disseminated the classification system to other libraries, and published it in 1939. Porter worked at the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center until her retirement in 1973.","James Porter's died in 1970, and in 1979 Dorothy married Charles Harris Wesley (1891-1987), a noted historian, educator, and author. After receiving his master's degree from Yale University in 1913, he taught at Howard University from 1913 until 1942. Between 1920 and 1925, he also earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University, the fourth African American to do so. He served as President of Wilberforce University from 1942-1947 and of Central State College, Ohio from 1947 until 1965. ","Charles Harris Wesley authored more than 15 books on African-American history over the course of his career. His first book, Negro Labor in the United States, was hailed as one of the most useful works on the role of African-Americans in industry available in the 1920s. Dorothy worked with Charles on a variety of research projects even prior to their marriage, and continued to do so until Charles's death in 1987. ","After her retirement from Howard University in 1973, Dorothy Porter Wesley worked as a consultant for a variety of institutions and foundations such as the Radcliffe University's Black Women Oral History Archive. She also continued to write articles and books.","In 1994 President Bill Clinton presented her with the National Endowment for the Humanities' Charles Frankel Award. Dorothy Porter Wesley died in Broward County, Florida in 1995.","The book  William Cooper Nell, Nineteenth-Century African American Abolitionist, Historian, Integrationist: Selected Writings 1832-1874  (2002) was the last research project that Charles and Dorothy worked on together, and was posthumously published by Dorothy's daughter, Constance Porter Uzelac. Uzelac worked as a medical librarian. After her mother's death, she became the Executive Director of the Dorothy Porter Wesley Archive and managed James A. Porter's art collection.","In 2000, Constance Uzelac worked with the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book, James Findlay, on an exhibition of her mother's collection that was displayed at the Broward County Main Library in February and March of 2001. Samuel F. Morrison, Director of the Broward County Library, was instrumental in bringing the collection to exhibition at the Bienes, and would further encourage the purchase of the materials from Uzelac for the newly-opened AARLCC Special Collections in December 2002. Constance later worked at Broward County Library, cataloging a portion of the Dorothy Porter Wesley Collection at the AARLCC Special Collections. Constance married Milan Uzelac in 1965. They had no children. She died in Broward County in 2012.","This collection received file level processing.

More than 40,000 American men refused to fight during World War II. Citing principled opposition, they declared themselves conscientious objectors. Rejecting combat duty, nearly 12,000 men entered Civilian Public Service (CPS) with the intent to perform \"work of national importance\" as an alternative to combat duty. The CPS program was set up by members of the historic peace churches (Mennonites, Brethren, and Quakers) and participated in by pacifists from other churches, of no specific religious persuasion, and, in the case of a few, no persuasion except not to fight in that particular war. CPS men worked as aides in mental hospitals, volunteered as smoke jumpers in forest fires, and participated in grueling medical and scientific experiments.  Frazer and O'Sullivan use the oral histories of 15 CPS men and two of their wives to illuminate their experience during World War II. ","Heather T.

More than 40,000 American men refused to fight during World War II. Citing principled opposition, they declared themselves conscientious objectors. Rejecting combat duty, nearly 12,000 men entered Civilian Public Service (CPS) with the intent to perform \"work of national importance\" as an alternative to combat duty.

Cash) was born in Lamont, Jefferson County, Florida, on July 21, 1878, the son of Benjamin Franklin and Susan C. Cash. Benjamin Franklin Cash died when W. T. Cash was thirteen years old. He left his mother's house when she remarried and began supporting himself by working as a farm hand. After five years, he was able to save money to attend school in Taylor County, where his mother lived. Cary A. Hardee (who later became Governor of Florida) was Cash's teacher in Taylor County. Hardee inspired Cash to study for the teaching certificate examination, which he passed when he was nineteen. Cash began teaching public school in Taylor County and became President of the Taylor County Teacher's Association. In 1917, he taught Florida History and Civic courses during Summer School at the Florida State College for Women in Tallahassee.\n W.T. Cash was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 1909, 1915, and 1917, and to the Florida Senate in 1918. Cash served two years of his term in the Florida Senate and left to campaign for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for Taylor County. He was elected in 1921 and served one term. In 1925, Governor Martin helped pass legislation that created the State Library Board of Florida. The Board consisted of three members who were appointed by the Governor. On April 1, 1927, the Board appointed W.T. Cash as the State Librarian to serve the Board as the Secretary of the Library. His small office and Library was originally located in the House of Representatives side of the Florida Capitol and soon relocated to the basement of the Capitol, where he collected rare books and wrote several articles and books about Florida history. In 1949, the State Library moved from the Capitol to a basement office in the newly constructed Florida Supreme Court building. Cash often received research questions from reporters, legislators, and the public. Only three weeks after his retirement, Cash died in Tallahassee, Florida on July 21, 1951.","Note written by State Archives of Florida","Contained within this collection is a manuscript of W.T.

After five years, he was able to save money to attend school in Taylor County, where his mother lived. Cary A. Hardee (who later became Governor of Florida) was Cash's teacher in Taylor County. Hardee inspired Cash to study for the teaching certificate examination, which he passed when he was nineteen. Cash began teaching public school in Taylor County and became President of the Taylor County Teacher's Association. In 1917, he taught Florida History and Civic courses during Summer School at the Florida State College for Women in Tallahassee.\n W.T. Cash was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 1909, 1915, and 1917, and to the Florida Senate in 1918. Cash served two years of his term in the Florida Senate and left to campaign for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for Taylor County. He was elected in 1921 and served one term. In 1925, Governor Martin helped pass legislation that created the State Library Board of Florida. The Board consisted of three members who were appointed by the Governor. On April 1, 1927, the Board appointed W.T. Cash as the State Librarian to serve the Board as the Secretary of the Library. His small office and Library was originally located in the House of Representatives side of the Florida Capitol and soon relocated to the basement of the Capitol, where he collected rare books and wrote several articles and books about Florida history. In 1949, the State Library moved from the Capitol to a basement office in the newly constructed Florida Supreme Court building. Cash often received research questions from reporters, legislators, and the public. Only three weeks after his retirement, Cash died in Tallahassee, Florida on July 21, 1951.","Note written by State Archives of Florida","Contained within this collection is a manuscript of W.T.

Correspondence, publications, notebooks, drawings, research materials, memorabilia and photographs show all aspects of their work including plant collecting, landscape designing and publishing. Photographs may be black and white or color prints, negatives or slides. Additional materials about the Fosters may be found in Series II and III.","\nSeries II: Subject Files, 1880-2003 contains catalogues, journals, photographs, memorabilia and correspondence that Michael Spencer brought together under his chosen subject headings and arranged alphabetically. Many of the materials in this series originally came from Mulford and Racine Foster, which means that there is some overlap with the previous series. Spencer's own collecting interest lay in documenting the importance of bromeliads in society, and he collected many common items that showed bromeliads, especially pineapples.","\nSeries III: Author Files, 1754-1997 includes a variety of media used for research, such as articles, books, magazines, newspaper clippings, and photographs. There are a significant number of materials authored by Mulford and Racine Foster and Lyman B.
