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.

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.

The files contain published materials, photocopies, web resources, plant and geological samples that document's Michael's Spencer's considerable research interests.","\nSeries VI: Medicinal Files, 1988-1996 contains alphabetical files on diseases and therapies. Not all these files relate to plants though many of them concern natural therapies.","\nSeries VII: Lyman Smith Files: 1905-1994 holds alphabetical files that belonged to Lyman B. Smith.

Additional accural was deposited in 2026 by sons Anthony and Paul Pizzo.","Alphabetically by subject (within series).","The son of Paul and Rosalia (Pizzolato) Pizzo, Anthony P. \"Tony\" Pizzo was born on September 22, 1912 in Ybor City, Tampa's immigrant cigar making community.  While growing up, Tony absorbed the multiethnic cultural ambience of Ybor City and its primarily Cuban, Spanish, and Italian population.  A graduate of Hillsborough High School, he attended the University of Florida for two years, then transferred to Stetson University to study law.  After two years, he left Stetson to embark on a business career.  Following service in the U.S. Army during World War II, Pizzo started his own company, International Brands, a wine and beer distributorship. He subsequently accepted a position with Tampa Wholesale Liquors, which later became Midulla Importing Company and House of Midulla, Inc.  From 1950 to his retirement in 1984 Tony Pizzo was the company's vice president in charge of sales, also serving as president of Midulla affiliates Rey del Mundo Cigar Company (1965-1971) and Fruit Wines of Florida (1972-1984).    ","Pizzo was active in local business, civic, educational, and cultural organizations, including the Tampa General Hospital Foundation, Barrio Latino Commission, University of Tampa Foundation, University of South Florida President's Council, Ybor City Redevelopment Committee, Tampa Philharmonic Association, and Tampa Bay Business Hall of Fame.  He was the founder and first president of the Tampa International Trade Council, first president of the Ybor City Junior Chamber of Commerce, first president of the Rotary Club of Ybor City, and the first honorary mayor (alcalde) of Ybor City.  In 1952, the Cuban government awarded Tony Pizzo the Order of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, and in 1976 the government of Italy invested him as a Knight Officer of the Order of Merit.  A 1993  Tampa Tribune  article commented that no other Tampan had been awarded so many honors for contributions and service to his community.","During the early 1950s, Tony Pizzo realized that the colorful, multiethnic Ybor City of his youth was rapidly fading away due to post-World War II demographic and economic changes.  He decided to make it his mission to preserve the history of Tampa's immigrant cigar makers and the community they built.  Over time, this mission expanded to include the history of the Tampa and Hillsborough County as a whole.  Pursuing his avocation for local history, Pizzo became the most prominent advocate of and spokesman for Tampa's historic heritage, earning the informal title \"Mr. Ybor City.\"","A prolific writer whose history articles appeared in a range of publications- from  Tampa Bay History  magazine to the popular press- his first book-length work,  Tampa Town, 1886-1834: Cracker Village with a Latin Accent,  appeared in 1968.  In 1979, Pizzo collaborated with WUSF Television in creating  Tony Pizzo's Tampa,  a ten-part documentary that won two awards from the National University Television Association.  In 1983, he co-authored a comprehensive history of Tampa and its vicinity,  Tampa, the Treasure City , with USF history professor Gary R. Mormino.","In 1971, Pizzo founded the Tampa Historical Society and served as its first president.  He was chairman of the Hillsborough County Historical Commission from 1968 to 1980, and from 1984 until his death was Hillsborough County's official historian.  As a Tampa native, civic leader, and prominent spokesman for local history, Pizzo was ideally positioned to gather historically significant material.  He \"knew everyone\" and \"everyone\" knew him.  His decades of gathering information about Tampa's past resulted in a monumental collection of historical materials documenting virtually every aspect of the community's historical heritage from its origins as a frontier fort to the dynamic, modern metropolis of today.  In a letter dated August 11, 1980, Tony Pizzo expressed his intention that the Special Collections Department at the University of South Florida's Tampa Library be the permanent repository for his unique collection.","This intention was realized on October 23, 1982 when USF President John Lott Brown formally accepted the Pizzo Collection during a gala dinner program held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Tampa.  Since that time, the Tony Pizzo Collection has become one of the most consulted and referenced resources for historians and other researchers studying Tampa history and culture.  As an \"open\" collection, librarians, historians and researchers regularly contribute to the growth and value of the collection.","Tony Pizzo died January 2, 1994 and was buried in the mausoleum at Myrtle Hill Memorial Park in Tampa.  He was survived by his wife of fifty-two years, Josephine (Acosta) Pizzo, and two sons, Paul and Anthony.","Basse, Craig.  \"Historian Tony Pizzo Dies.\"   St. Petersburg Times  4 January 1994, Community Times Tampa Bay and State section: pp. 1, 5B.","Cabrera, Cloe. \"The Loves of Tony Pizzo.\"   Tampa Tribune  11 January 1994, University section: 4.","DeSormier, Vicki.  \"Silhouettes:  Tony Pizzo.\"   La Gaceta   (November 20, 1987): 18. \"Dinner Program in Honor of Tony Pizzo.\"","Ex Libris: Journal of the USF Library Associates,  Summer 1982: 18.","Dunn, Hampton.  \"A Tribute to Tony Pizzo:  Hail!

In 1979, Pizzo collaborated with WUSF Television in creating  Tony Pizzo's Tampa,  a ten-part documentary that won two awards from the National University Television Association.

As a Tampa native, civic leader, and prominent spokesman for local history, Pizzo was ideally positioned to gather historically significant material.  He \"knew everyone\" and \"everyone\" knew him.  His decades of gathering information about Tampa's past resulted in a monumental collection of historical materials documenting virtually every aspect of the community's historical heritage from its origins as a frontier fort to the dynamic, modern metropolis of today.

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.

After graduating with honors from the University of Santo Tomás de Villanueva in 1952 with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, he pursued advanced studies, earning his Master's degree and a Doctorate in Economic Sciences in 1956, becoming the first graduate of a doctoral program in economics in Cuba. During this time, he began his teaching career at the university, eventually becoming a Professor in both the Economics Department at the University of Villanueva and the University of Havana's Institute of Higher Economics. Additionally, he held prominent roles in the private and public sectors, including Director of the Department of Economics at the National Association of Industrialists of Cuba and the Ministry of Finance.","In 1962, Jorge was forced to leave Cuba due to political upheaval and settled in the United States. He quickly resumed his academic career, first as an Assistant Professor at Merrimac College in Massachusetts, where he became a full professor by 1972. He later moved to Miami, where he continued his academic work at Biscayne College and Miami Dade Community College. In 1974, he joined the University of Miami, where he taught economics and coordinated Spanish-language programs, while also leading the university's \"Continuing Education\" programs for Cuban professionals. He furthered his impact in academia by becoming a key administrator at various institutions, including serving as Provost at Biscayne College and Executive Vice President at Florida International University (FIU).","Jorge has been a prolific writer and consultant, publishing over twenty books and hundreds of articles on topics such as economic theory, Latin American development, foreign investment, and Cuban economics. His expertise has been sought after by both public and private organizations, and he is currently the Dean of the College of Economists of Cuba, a position he held prior to leaving Cuba. Beyond academia, Jorge has been actively involved in community affairs, especially related to the Cuban-American population in Miami, serving in various government and civic roles, including the first Director of the State Commission for Hispanic Affairs in Florida. His dedication to the cause of Cuban liberation and his extensive work in educating the Cuban exile community continues to make him a key figure in both academic and civic circles.","\nAntonio Jorge nació en La Habana, Cuba, el 28 de septiembre de 1931, y completó sus estudios en el Colegio de Belén en Marianao. Después de graduarse con honores de la Universidad de Santo Tomás de Villanueva en 1952 con una \"Bachelor of Arts\" en Economía, continuó sus estudios avanzados, obteniendo su Maestría y Doctorado en Ciencias Económicas en 1956, convirtiéndose en el primer graduado de un programa doctoral en economía en Cuba. Durante este tiempo, comenzó su carrera docente en la universidad, llegando a ser Profesor en el Departamento de Economía de la Universidad de Villanueva y en el Instituto Superior de Economía de la Universidad de La Habana. Además, ocupó roles destacados en los sectores privado y público, incluyendo Director del Departamento de Economía de la Asociación Nacional de Industriales de Cuba y del Ministerio de Hacienda.","En 1962, Jorge se vio obligado a abandonar Cuba debido a los cambios políticos y se estableció en los Estados Unidos.

The first three series feature personal and office files which show the birth and growth of the organization, sorted at the state and local division levels. The last two series holds audio visual and photographic ephemera as well as scrapbooks created by workers at the society.","To be an orphan in Florida at the turn of the twentieth century was a dangerous prospect. Children were being orphaned due to farm and industrial accidents and numerous poor families had to give up children they could no longer afford. Many children were abused and there were few laws that protected children's rights. Homeless children had little place to go where they could be safe, properly cared for, and loved.","\nIn response to this increasing crisis, the National Children's Home Society was formed in Illinois in 1883 to help place children who had been orphaned in farming and industrial accidents, spreading to several other states over the next decade. The Revered D. W. Comstock came to Jacksonville, Florida in 1902 as a representative of the National Children's Home Society to help organize the state's first child welfare society. On November 17, 1902, with the help of Rev. D. W. Comstock and Jacksonville's city and religious leaders, The Children's Home Society of Florida (CHSFL) was established. The welfare of the child was the society's primary focus, making sure that if the family could not be preserved that the child was placed in a happy and healthy home.","\nThe CHSFL was developed as a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from the community. Fund-raising efforts began as administrative duties were carried out in private homes around the city. The children were also were being cared for in private residences as there was not yet a home secured for the society to board its charges. The CHSFL committed itself to not only children but to babies who were not accepted until the age of three at state orphanages (Mahoney, 5). Money was tight for the society and within the first few years, the CHSFL found itself in deep debt. By September of 1910, the CHSFL was facing the possibility of ending operations when a new state superintendent for the society entered its doors. Marcus C. Fagg was just 24 when he took control of the CHSFL but within a few short months, he had already obtained funding to start his first appeals drive. Many in the society to this day believe that it was Marcus C. Fagg who saved the CHSFL from closing its doors and built it to the standards that society members and workers adhere to today. Fagg's compassion towards children also did not go unnoticed; from his early years with the CHSFL, many children he helped referred to him as \"Daddy\" Fagg as a token of their appreciation for finding them loving homes.","\nMarcus Fagg brought innovative solutions to a dire financial situation. Using land donated or sold at cost to the society, Fagg either rented or sold land at higher costs to turn a profit. Fagg also helped poor families by renting them homes at drastically reduced rental costs with an option to later buy the homes. Marcus Fagg helped dozens of poor families regain their footing while also helping the CHSFL emerge from a deep hole of financial debt.","\nThough Marcus Fagg began to save the society financially, the society still fell on hard times. The country became entangled in the agony of the Great Depression in the 1930s and the CHSFL suffered with the rest of the nation. The Miami receiving home was lost due to a lack of finances but was thankfully picked up and operated by the Junior League until 1936 when CHSFL was able to once again run the home. Marcus Fagg also made history in 1932 by becoming the first chairman of the new Florida State Welfare Board. Through the 1940s and 1950s, CHSFL was instrumental in securing rights and welfare laws for children nationwide. CHSFL was one of the founding members of the Child Welfare League of America and was one of the only societies in the country to handle state adoptions without the aid of a state agency. The society also saw rapid growth, thanks in part to the massive fund-raising performed by Marcus Fagg; several new division offices opened throughout the state, many of whom offered special services for children. CHSFL also began offering services to unwed mothers, further committing themselves to the family rather than just simply finding homes for children.","\nOne of the saddest moments for the CHSFL was the loss of their mentor and leader, Marcus C. \"Daddy\" Fagg in 1958. After Fagg's passing, newspapers throughout Florida ran headlines announcing the loss of a great state hero. Buried in a simple grave in Jacksonville, Florida, Fagg's life and legacy still serves as a reminder to the CHSFL of their continued effort to help abused and orphaned children in the state of Florida.","\nSegregation and integration played an important role for CHSFL in the 1960s as the society began caring for and adopting out African-American children from their receiving homes. Historically, the society took in mostly white children. As the Civil Rights movement grew in the 1960's, the society re-examined the scope of its adoption policies and began taking in and offering adoption services for the African-American community. This was a significant development both for the society and for the Civil Rights movement; African-American children were being given the same adoption services as white children at a time when the issue of race was dominant in society and politics. As the country rapidly changed, so did the society, offering for the first time services in schools for handicapped, delinquent, and abused children as well children living in racially mixed households. These services would grow and define the society through to the end of the 1990s.","\nJust three years into the new millennium and the society's second century of service, the CHSFL moved its headquarters from its birthplace in Jacksonville to more centrally located offices in Winter Park, Florida. Now over one hundred years old, the CHSFL offers fourteen divisions that serve the entire state of Florida.","Collection processed by Ari Karlene Anderson; finding aid prepared by April Karlene Anderson and Katie Seeler.
