Griffiths (1914-2006) was born in Texas, on November 4th, 1914. Griffiths worked on his father's ranch before attending Rice University. After earning a degree in zoological sciences in 1937, Griffiths married and shortly thereafter entered Iowa State University, earning a doctorate in Entomology in 1941. After taking an academic appointment at Auburn University Griffiths volunteered for the army, entering in as a First Lieutenant. In 1946 Griffiths took a job at the Citrus Experiment Station at Lake Alfred, Florida. He\nestablished himself as an expert in the field of biological control mechanisms through extensive research projects, authoring numerous articles in scientific journals discussing and evaluating new insecticides and fertilizers, and giving precise recommendations for their application in fighting pests or nutrient deficiencies. 1951 Griffiths joined the Lyon's Fertilizer Company for three years, then joined John Snively's Eloise Groves Association as production manager of the processing plant and overseer of grove operations. After the freezes of 1957-58, Griffiths conducted research on the\nuse of wind machines for cold protection to replace smudge pots. He also played a fundamental role in developing a market for what was then a newly available product: orange juice as a frozen concentrate. From 1962-67 Griffiths worked as the General Manager of Cypress Gardens Citrus\nProducts, before serving as the director of special projects for Florida Citrus Mutual from 1968-81. He also founded the Citrus Grower Associates, a small cooperative of growers aimed at promoting and protecting its local growers. Griffiths founded the Citrus Growers Association and served on the Florida Research Advisory Council, the Spreading Decline committee, the Young Tree Decline Committee and at one point he headed the Citrus Harvesting Committee.

Books and Pamphlets","Dorothy Burnett Porter Wesley (1905-1995) was a librarian, curator and bibliophile born on May 25, 1905 in Warrenton, Virginia. 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.

His father, James Henry Keen, began the first Coca-Cola bottling plant in North Florida in River Junction in 1907, and the plant operated continuously until 1954, when it merged with the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Marianna, begun in 1913. For the Marianna operation, Keen's father organized a corporation known as Purity Bottling Works. In 1924, the Purity Bottling Works name was changed to the Marianna Coca-Cola Bottling Company. Upon James Henry Keen's death in 1942, his son, Charlton Keen, became president, secretary, and manager of this plant, and operated it until he died in 1957, when James Velma Keen became its president and director.\n Before graduating from the University of Florida, where he received the LL.B (1922) and A.B. (1923) degrees, James Velma Keen attended the Georgia School of Technology, Oglethorpe University, and the University of Pittsburgh. He was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1923 and began his law practice in Sarasota, principally with the firm of Sawyer, Surrency, Carter, and Keen, which Keen operated from 1922-1932.\n During his residence in Sarasota, he served as State Attorney for the 27th Judicial District. In 1927, he campaigned for Mayor of Sarasota, but was not elected. From 1927 to 1929, he was Chairman of the Board of Public Instruction of Sarasota County. In 1930, he was State Attorney in Sarasota County. From 1931 to 1933 he served in the Florida State Legislature as a Representative from Sarasota County. From 1933-1936 he served as Florida Assistant Attorney General. In November 1936 he moved to and opened a law practice in Tallahassee (Keen, O'Kelley and Spitz), which he maintained until his death on March 4, 1963. His firm engaged in general civil practice, and practiced school, taxation, administrative, legislative, corporate, estate, insurance, and real estate law. During 1940-1941, he served as president of the Florida Bar Association, and for many years was a member of the American Bar Association. He authored articles in the Florida Law Journal, and served as a member and as chairman of committees of the Florida Bar.\n Keen was very active in Florida public education. This was demonstrated by his service as trustee of Florida Southern College, president of the Southern Scholarship and Research Foundation, his chairmanships of the Continuing Education Council of Florida (whose purpose was \"to continue over a long period of time a concerted effort to correct and improve public schools\") since 1947 and the Florida State Advisory Committee on School Libraries from 1962-1963, his memberships on the National Citizens Council for Better Schools, the Education Committee of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce from 1948 until his death, and the Florida Advisory Council on Education, from 1952-1953. These activities were recognized by Florida State University (FSU) when the honorary degree of Doctor of Law was conferred upon him in 1959.\n Keen also made many contributions to financial and commercial enterprises. In 1952, he was one of the founders of the Leon Federal Savings and Loan Association in Tallahassee, and served as its president from the time it was organized until his death, and he held the positions of First and Second Vice Presidents of the Florida Historical Society from 1954-1957. He was a founder and director of the Commonwealth Corporation, with its principal office in Tallahassee, served on the board of directors of several other corporations, a president of the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce in 1945, 1946, and 1948, and a director of the Florida Chamber of Commerce during the 1950s.\n In 1955, Keen became the first chair of Florida's Nuclear Development Commission, serving in that capacity until 1961. The Nuclear Development Commission was a citizens' group whose purpose was to assist in providing direction and guidance to nuclear development in Florida. Initially, it was concerned with recruiting and retaining good teachers of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and motivating elementary and high school students in careers in science and engineering. The Commission expanded its activities by recommending the establishment of nuclear energy programs at state universities, with a minimum of a basic science and nuclear research program. These programs would include a suitable particle accelerator at FSU and a reactor at the University of Florida. He was also a member of the Regional Advisory Council on Nuclear Energy, an organization of 17 southern states concerned with the use of nuclear power as an energy source and the storage of radioactive waste. Keen noted in a 1957 speech at the Florida Newsmen's Seminar on Nuclear Energy that several nuclear scientists believed that \"when the presently planned facilities and programs at FSU and the University of Florida are complete, Florida's nuclear education opportunities will be on par with the finest in the nation.\"\n Keen was also one of the founders of the Southern Interstate Nuclear Compact in 1959, a voluntary agreement established by the 16-state Southern Governors' Conference to \"provide the means for cooperation with each other in fostering the development of the region by taking full advantage of nuclear energy.\" On March 19, 1966, to honor his work in nuclear energy development, the James Velma Keen Physics Building was dedicated on the FSU campus. A portrait of Keen was unveiled in the building on December 8, 1967.","Portions of collection available online?: No","MSS 1970-150 was originally processed in March 1971.

His father, James Henry Keen, began the first Coca-Cola bottling plant in North Florida in River Junction in 1907, and the plant operated continuously until 1954, when it merged with the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Marianna, begun in 1913. For the Marianna operation, Keen's father organized a corporation known as Purity Bottling Works. In 1924, the Purity Bottling Works name was changed to the Marianna Coca-Cola Bottling Company. Upon James Henry Keen's death in 1942, his son, Charlton Keen, became president, secretary, and manager of this plant, and operated it until he died in 1957, when James Velma Keen became its president and director.\n Before graduating from the University of Florida, where he received the LL.B (1922) and A.B. (1923) degrees, James Velma Keen attended the Georgia School of Technology, Oglethorpe University, and the University of Pittsburgh. He was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1923 and began his law practice in Sarasota, principally with the firm of Sawyer, Surrency, Carter, and Keen, which Keen operated from 1922-1932.\n During his residence in Sarasota, he served as State Attorney for the 27th Judicial District. In 1927, he campaigned for Mayor of Sarasota, but was not elected. From 1927 to 1929, he was Chairman of the Board of Public Instruction of Sarasota County. In 1930, he was State Attorney in Sarasota County. From 1931 to 1933 he served in the Florida State Legislature as a Representative from Sarasota County. From 1933-1936 he served as Florida Assistant Attorney General. In November 1936 he moved to and opened a law practice in Tallahassee (Keen, O'Kelley and Spitz), which he maintained until his death on March 4, 1963. His firm engaged in general civil practice, and practiced school, taxation, administrative, legislative, corporate, estate, insurance, and real estate law. During 1940-1941, he served as president of the Florida Bar Association, and for many years was a member of the American Bar Association. He authored articles in the Florida Law Journal, and served as a member and as chairman of committees of the Florida Bar.\n Keen was very active in Florida public education. This was demonstrated by his service as trustee of Florida Southern College, president of the Southern Scholarship and Research Foundation, his chairmanships of the Continuing Education Council of Florida (whose purpose was \"to continue over a long period of time a concerted effort to correct and improve public schools\") since 1947 and the Florida State Advisory Committee on School Libraries from 1962-1963, his memberships on the National Citizens Council for Better Schools, the Education Committee of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce from 1948 until his death, and the Florida Advisory Council on Education, from 1952-1953. These activities were recognized by Florida State University (FSU) when the honorary degree of Doctor of Law was conferred upon him in 1959.\n Keen also made many contributions to financial and commercial enterprises. In 1952, he was one of the founders of the Leon Federal Savings and Loan Association in Tallahassee, and served as its president from the time it was organized until his death, and he held the positions of First and Second Vice Presidents of the Florida Historical Society from 1954-1957. He was a founder and director of the Commonwealth Corporation, with its principal office in Tallahassee, served on the board of directors of several other corporations, a president of the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce in 1945, 1946, and 1948, and a director of the Florida Chamber of Commerce during the 1950s.\n In 1955, Keen became the first chair of Florida's Nuclear Development Commission, serving in that capacity until 1961. The Nuclear Development Commission was a citizens' group whose purpose was to assist in providing direction and guidance to nuclear development in Florida. Initially, it was concerned with recruiting and retaining good teachers of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and motivating elementary and high school students in careers in science and engineering. The Commission expanded its activities by recommending the establishment of nuclear energy programs at state universities, with a minimum of a basic science and nuclear research program. These programs would include a suitable particle accelerator at FSU and a reactor at the University of Florida. He was also a member of the Regional Advisory Council on Nuclear Energy, an organization of 17 southern states concerned with the use of nuclear power as an energy source and the storage of radioactive waste. Keen noted in a 1957 speech at the Florida Newsmen's Seminar on Nuclear Energy that several nuclear scientists believed that \"when the presently planned facilities and programs at FSU and the University of Florida are complete, Florida's nuclear education opportunities will be on par with the finest in the nation.\"\n Keen was also one of the founders of the Southern Interstate Nuclear Compact in 1959, a voluntary agreement established by the 16-state Southern Governors' Conference to \"provide the means for cooperation with each other in fostering the development of the region by taking full advantage of nuclear energy.\" On March 19, 1966, to honor his work in nuclear energy development, the James Velma Keen Physics Building was dedicated on the FSU campus.

These activities were recognized by Florida State University (FSU) when the honorary degree of Doctor of Law was conferred upon him in 1959.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeen also made many contributions to financial and commercial enterprises. In 1952, he was one of the founders of the Leon Federal Savings and Loan Association in Tallahassee, and served as its president from the time it was organized until his death, and he held the positions of First and Second Vice Presidents of the Florida Historical Society from 1954-1957. He was a founder and director of the Commonwealth Corporation, with its principal office in Tallahassee, served on the board of directors of several other corporations, a president of the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce in 1945, 1946, and 1948, and a director of the Florida Chamber of Commerce during the 1950s.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1955, Keen became the first chair of Florida's Nuclear Development Commission, serving in that capacity until 1961. The Nuclear Development Commission was a citizens' group whose purpose was to assist in providing direction and guidance to nuclear development in Florida. Initially, it was concerned with recruiting and retaining good teachers of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and motivating elementary and high school students in careers in science and engineering. The Commission expanded its activities by recommending the establishment of nuclear energy programs at state universities, with a minimum of a basic science and nuclear research program. These programs would include a suitable particle accelerator at FSU and a reactor at the University of Florida. He was also a member of the Regional Advisory Council on Nuclear Energy, an organization of 17 southern states concerned with the use of nuclear power as an energy source and the storage of radioactive waste. Keen noted in a 1957 speech at the Florida Newsmen's Seminar on Nuclear Energy that several nuclear scientists believed that \"when the presently planned facilities and programs at FSU and the University of Florida are complete, Florida's nuclear education opportunities will be on par with the finest in the nation.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeen was also one of the founders of the Southern Interstate Nuclear Compact in 1959, a voluntary agreement established by the 16-state Southern Governors' Conference to \"provide the means for cooperation with each other in fostering the development of the region by taking full advantage of nuclear energy.\" On March 19, 1966, to honor his work in nuclear energy development, the James Velma Keen Physics Building was dedicated on the FSU campus. A portrait of Keen was unveiled in the building on December 8, 1967.\u003c/p\u003e"]}]}}],"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/52f4394bacaa13958ead5bf8"}},{"id":"d24258192928958312646de6","type":"collection","attributes":{"title":"James W.
