She was the daughter of Clayton Douglas, an American government employee doing agricultural education work, and Evangeline Douglas, a Canadian nursing missionary.  The family moved to Baguio, Luzon in 1937 and Whittle's brother Hugh was born. She had a relatively normal childhood prior to the war, attending Maryknoll Catholic School and the Episcopal Brent School with other American children of missionaries, doctors, businessmen, miners, etc. She participated in Brownies, took dance lessons and went to the movies among other activities.\n In the months leading up to the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, the Douglas family stored canned food in the basement but did not evacuate to the hills outside the city where their Filipino friends offered them shelter. Whittle's father was concerned about his health, as he was diabetic, and by the time the Japanese invaded on 8 December 1941, it was too late to evacuate. The Japanese summoned the Douglas family on 27 December 1941 to register and to stay one night in custody; the family packed light suitcases under this premise but were instead held until their liberation in 1945, never seeing their house, pets, or belongings again. Whittle was ten years old when the Japanese imprisoned her.\n From registration, the Japanese separated men, women, and children, and marched them five miles to Camp John Hay. Whittle carried her younger brother, Hugh, on her back, afraid she would never see her parents again, and afraid her father would die because he could no longer take his insulin. Upon arrival at Camp John Hay, she reunited with her mother; the Japanese separated families to intimidate them and demonstrate their power. Her mother suffered from the fear of being separated again for the rest of the war.\n Camp John Hay held 500 civilians, 125 of which were children. It was segregated, separating the Chinese from the Americans, and the men from the women and children. Whittle was able to occasionally see her father, despite their separation. The camp was cramped, had poor sanitation and little food. By the end of her stay, Whittle ate 100g of food per day and almost starved.\n In early 1942, Whittle and her family moved from Camp John Hay to Camp Holmes, where they were imprisoned for a majority of the war (3 years and 3 months). Her registration number was C-92. Although Camp Holmes had more room for the Incarcerated, men remained separated from women and children. Despite better living conditions, the Incarcerated people lived in fear of their Japanese imprisoners; the Japanese tortured the incarcerated for information and fed the camp propaganda about American forces losing. The Incarcerated persons felt forgotten by the United States, but they were able to determine the American troops' location in the Pacific based off Japanese propaganda.\n Despite their internment, the incarcerated individuals attempted to maintain everyday life by creating a school system for the children, continuing religious services, and creating their own self-government to communicate between the Incarcerated people and the Japanese guards. Whittle completed 5th through 8th grade while interned, taking multiple subjects including reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, history, geography, music, and art, and by reading books brought back by the incarcerated persons allowed to go into town to collect materials. She documented the books she read in a list in her diary.\n As the American forces progressed in 1944, the incarcerated people received fewer food rations and the Japanese guards became meaner. On 27 December 1944, in anticipation of the Battle of Luzon, the Japanese moved the incarcerated people in Camp Holmes to Bilibid Prison in Manila, where the civilians remained separated from the POW Bataan Death March survivors. While in Bilibid Prison, the Douglas family stayed in the infirmary as they had dengue fever, dysentery, and were starving. They were grateful to be behind the thick prison walls as the Battle for Manila raged on outside.\n By 3 February 1945, the Japanese guards had abandoned Bilibid Prison and advised the incarcerated people to remain inside for their own safety. It was there that American forces discovered the soldier POWs who then directed them to the civilian POW section. A majority of the incarcerated individuals were starving and had difficulty eating the food the Army provided. The Army moved them to Santo Tomas prison to avoid the approaching fires, and from there they processed the civilians to go home.\n On 3 April 1945, the Douglas family began their one-month journey on the USS E.W. Eberle to California. They briefly stayed with their family in Wisconsin before settling in Wildwood, Florida, where Whittle's father taught agriculture at Wildwood High School. Whittle continued her high school education and went on to graduate from Florida State University with a degree in Home Economics.\n The war impacted each family member differently. Whittle's father came out of internment no longer diabetic, looking to move on with their lives and determined to help rebuild the Philippines to what it had been. Conversely, Whittle's mother never overcame the constant fear of being separated from her children again and insisted they return to the United States so they could know what it was like to live as Americans. Whittle's brother realized the significance of their childhood experiences later in life, and Whittle herself always acknowledged how her experiences made her different from her peers. Above all, she was grateful to have been with her family during the war, no matter how bad the circumstances became.\n Whittle married Jay Francis Whittle and had four children. She was a teacher in Florida for over 36 years and involved in the community, including at the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience at Florida State University. She attended reunions for her fellow civilian incarcerated persons. Dorothy Douglas Whittle passed away on 2 May 2017.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","The Dorothy \"Dot\" Douglas Whittle Collection contains one box of personal papers, including a 35-page typed oral history transcript, photocopies of Whittle's diary from her internment, photocopies of Whittle's scrapbook about her internment, photographs of the Douglas family, and personal accounts of internment from other civilian prisoners.

She was the daughter of Clayton Douglas, an American government employee doing agricultural education work, and Evangeline Douglas, a Canadian nursing missionary.\u0026#xA0; The family moved to Baguio, Luzon in 1937 and Whittle's brother Hugh was born. She had a relatively normal childhood prior to the war, attending Maryknoll Catholic School and the Episcopal Brent School with other American children of missionaries, doctors, businessmen, miners, etc. She participated in Brownies, took dance lessons and went to the movies among other activities.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the months leading up to the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, the Douglas family stored canned food in the basement but did not evacuate to the hills outside the city where their Filipino friends offered them shelter. Whittle's father was concerned about his health, as he was diabetic, and by the time the Japanese invaded on 8 December 1941, it was too late to evacuate. The Japanese summoned the Douglas family on 27 December 1941 to register and to stay one night in custody; the family packed light suitcases under this premise but were instead held until their liberation in 1945, never seeing their house, pets, or belongings again. Whittle was ten years old when the Japanese imprisoned her.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom registration, the Japanese separated men, women, and children, and marched them five miles to Camp John Hay. Whittle carried her younger brother, Hugh, on her back, afraid she would never see her parents again, and afraid her father would die because he could no longer take his insulin. Upon arrival at Camp John Hay, she reunited with her mother; the Japanese separated families to intimidate them and demonstrate their power. Her mother suffered from the fear of being separated again for the rest of the war.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCamp John Hay held 500 civilians, 125 of which were children. It was segregated, separating the Chinese from the Americans, and the men from the women and children. Whittle was able to occasionally see her father, despite their separation. The camp was cramped, had poor sanitation and little food. By the end of her stay, Whittle ate 100g of food per day and almost starved.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn early 1942, Whittle and her family moved from Camp John Hay to Camp Holmes, where they were imprisoned for a majority of the war (3 years and 3 months). Her registration number was C-92. Although Camp Holmes had more room for the Incarcerated, men remained separated from women and children. Despite better living conditions, the Incarcerated people lived in fear of their Japanese imprisoners; the Japanese tortured the incarcerated for information and fed the camp propaganda about American forces losing. The Incarcerated persons felt forgotten by the United States, but they were able to determine the American troops' location in the Pacific based off Japanese propaganda.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite their internment, the incarcerated individuals attempted to maintain everyday life by creating a school system for the children, continuing religious services, and creating their own self-government to communicate between the Incarcerated people and the Japanese guards. Whittle completed 5th through 8th grade while interned, taking multiple subjects including reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, history, geography, music, and art, and by reading books brought back by the incarcerated persons allowed to go into town to collect materials. She documented the books she read in a list in her diary.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the American forces progressed in 1944, the incarcerated people received fewer food rations and the Japanese guards became meaner. On 27 December 1944, in anticipation of the Battle of Luzon, the Japanese moved the incarcerated people in Camp Holmes to Bilibid Prison in Manila, where the civilians remained separated from the POW Bataan Death March survivors. While in Bilibid Prison, the Douglas family stayed in the infirmary as they had dengue fever, dysentery, and were starving. They were grateful to be behind the thick prison walls as the Battle for Manila raged on outside.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy 3 February 1945, the Japanese guards had abandoned Bilibid Prison and advised the incarcerated people to remain inside for their own safety. It was there that American forces discovered the soldier POWs who then directed them to the civilian POW section. A majority of the incarcerated individuals were starving and had difficulty eating the food the Army provided. The Army moved them to Santo Tomas prison to avoid the approaching fires, and from there they processed the civilians to go home.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn 3 April 1945, the Douglas family began their one-month journey on the USS E.W. Eberle to California. They briefly stayed with their family in Wisconsin before settling in Wildwood, Florida, where Whittle's father taught agriculture at Wildwood High School. Whittle continued her high school education and went on to graduate from Florida State University with a degree in Home Economics.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe war impacted each family member differently. Whittle's father came out of internment no longer diabetic, looking to move on with their lives and determined to help rebuild the Philippines to what it had been. Conversely, Whittle's mother never overcame the constant fear of being separated from her children again and insisted they return to the United States so they could know what it was like to live as Americans. Whittle's brother realized the significance of their childhood experiences later in life, and Whittle herself always acknowledged how her experiences made her different from her peers. Above all, she was grateful to have been with her family during the war, no matter how bad the circumstances became.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhittle married Jay Francis Whittle and had four children. She was a teacher in Florida for over 36 years and involved in the community, including at the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience at Florida State University. She attended reunions for her fellow civilian incarcerated persons. Dorothy Douglas Whittle passed away on 2 May 2017.\u003c/p\u003e"]}]}}],"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/1124b692e3534f996ab051e9_aspace_208389"}},{"id":"fa7267d0d7c856054ef95e7d_aspace_18189","type":"File","attributes":{"title":"Scholarly Articles, 1947-1989","breadcrumbs":{"id":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/fa7267d0d7c856054ef95e7d_aspace_18189#breadcrumbs","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":[{"ref_ssi":"aspace_18189","ref_ssm":["aspace_18189","aspace_18189"],"id":"fa7267d0d7c856054ef95e7d_aspace_18189","title_filing_ssi":"Scholarly Articles","title_ssm":["Scholarly Articles"],"title_tesim":["Scholarly Articles"],"unitdate_inclusive_ssm":["1947-1989"],"normalized_date_ssm":["1947-1989"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Scholarly Articles, 1947-1989"],"text":["Scholarly Articles, 1947-1989","Archimedes L.

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.

","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.

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.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context.

When he retired in the 1960s, he settled in Saint Augustine, Florida, where he became a freelance writer. ","Frederick DeCoste was born in 1910 in Boston, Massachusetts. He attended school in Massachusetts and Connecticut. After high school, he traveled to South America becoming a \"merchant marine cadet with the Munson Steamship Line\" [2]. He then attended college for one year at the University of Transylvania, Kentucky, where he studied English. The Great Depression in 1929 forced him to try different jobs until 1936. That year, he had the opportunity to live in Peru where he studied for one year at the University of San Marcos. Additionally, Frederick DeCoste published articles for the West Coast Leader, an English language magazine edited in Lima. He was also Director of Public Relations for the Condor Peruana de Aviación, S. A. ","In 1939, Frederick DeCoste returned to the United States and lived in Putney, Vermont. He worked as Assistant Director for Experiment in International Living, a company specializing in exchange programs. DeCoste was a \"counselor-guide\" in charge of Latin American programs, sending American students to Peru and Colombia. ","In 1941, Frederick DeCoste became the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs in Washington D.C. He was sent to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, to manage the war information program. In 1944, he moved to Balboa, Panama, where he stayed for two years for the Public Relations Office. ","Between 1946 and 1947, Frederick DeCoste lived in Mexico and worked for the United States International Book Association to set up an exhibit of 7000 books. When the association dissolved in 1947, he decided to move back to the United States to be Assistant Director for the Council for Inter-American Cooperation Inc. in New York. Concomitantly, he was also Assistant Director for the National Foreign Trade Council, Inc., in charge of the Western Hemisphere Division. There, he edited Noticias, an internal weekly digest for the Council members, providing news and reports about the Hemisphere.","Around 1959, Frederick DeCoste retired and moved to Saint Augustine, Florida, to become a freelance writer and local historian about Florida and Saint Augustine's history. During this time, he wrote and published books and articles. ","Frederick DeCoste died in Quincy [3], Massachusetts, in 1977. He was buried in Plymouth [4].","Notes:\n[1] This biography is a synthesis of the information found in different sources: Fredrick DeCoste's Personal Papers (resume); the newspaper article \"Miracle of the hangman's rope\" in The Florida Times Union Sunday Magazine (August 7, 1966); and the following book reference: Peters, Williams, Passport to friendship.
