It started in 1975 as the Broward County Library \"Project for the Economically Disadvantaged\" but soon became internationally known as Library-in-Action Project. The project ran until 2002.","The Von D. Mizell Library in the historic Sistrunk neighborhood, which became part of the Broward County Library system in 1974, was the headquarters of Library-In-Action. As a result of LIA-authored grant funding, four additional libraries were opened: Dania Beach Library (Feb. 5, 1979), Collier City Library (1980), Rock Island Library (1980), and Carver Ranches Library (1982). Also in 1980, the Von D. Mizell Library moved to a new building with a larger collection. These five libraries provided youth and adults with free access to books, literacy classes, and tutoring services. They also created tailor-made services and programs based on community input.","Broward County Library's Assistant Director, Samuel Morrison, hired an administrative team to oversee the LIA program: Tyrone Bryant (Director), Janet Hansen (Assistant Director), and Tanya Simons-Oparah (Outreach Services Coordinator). The LIA team earned millions of dollars in grants, trained librarians and staff, and conducted programming. ","From 1977 to 1980, Library-In-Action staff canvassed neighborhoods and offered library resources to the Collier City community before the Collier City Library was built. The LIA's Homework Assistance program bussed children from elementary schools to the Collier City Library, where they received help with their homework and school projects, graduating more than 200 students in its early years. ","The LIA project also involved a Bookmobile and a Footmobile service - where staff went door-to-door promoting libraries and delivering books. Other notable programs included speakers such as Alex Haley (author of \"Roots\") in 1980, Elton Fox, and Tom Feelings. The Black Heritage program educated children on Africa, and an African hut was constructed in the Von D. Mizell Library as part of the programming.","LIA Director Tyrone Bryant coined the name \"Library-In-Action\". Tyrone Bryant (1942-1988) was a graduate of Florida Agriculture and Mechanical University. Prior to his directorship at the Langston Hughes Library he was the director of the Committee for the Corona-East Elmhurst Community Corp, where he began working in 1967. The Committee's activism ultimately formed the Langston Hughes Cultural Center and Library in the Corona neighborhood in New York City. Tyrone Bryant became the first Director of the Langston Hughes Library which opened April 26, 1969 and served the needs of inner-city residents. Bryant moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1975 to become the LIA Director. The many programs conducted during the BCL LIA project originated from Tyrone Byrant's experience with programs at the Langston Hughes Library, such as the Homework Assistance Program. In 1983 Bryant was named Assistant Director of the Broward County Library system in charge of Special Services while also retaining his position as Project Director of LIA. Bryant also served as the chairman of the Sistrunk Historical Festival from 1983 until 1988. He married Claudia Wright in 1986. Tyrone Bryant died on February 24, 1988 at age 45. The Rock Island Library was rededicated in his honor on April 20, 1988 as the Tyrone Bryant Library Branch.","The 1980 Sistrunk Historical Festival saw the dedication of the Von D. Mizell Center which housed the Von D. Mizell Branch Library.","The LIA program collaborated with the City of Fort Lauderdale to create the Sistrunk Historical Festival in 1979, celebrating the county's black pioneers. The festival began as a two-day event to initiate economic redevelopment and held programming on African American culture, and under Bryant's chairmanship grew to a month-long event drawing over 100,000 people by 1988.","This collection received file level processing.

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.

He received $1,500 (equivalent to approx. $20,000 today) in the major poetry contest for his manuscript, \"Twenty Poems.\" At the time, it was the largest prize in ten years.  ","Boland was one of the first friends the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas made while visiting America in 1950. In his book,  Dylan Thomas in America , author John Malcom Brinnin would describe Boland's work as \"remarkable.\" On the spoken word album,  Return Journey to Swansea , Thomas can be heard reciting Boland's poem \"I Climb the Stairs After a Tedious Masquerade.\" During their short but sincere friendship, Boland escorted Dylan Thomas to Ann Arbor, where they would stay at the home of Boland's family friends and fellow poets Dorothy and Walter Donnelly.   ","In 1950, Boland's poem \"Mandala\" was published in  Flair  and later included in the 1952 anthology  A Little Treasury of American Poetry . In 1953, Boland's poem \"Trials of a Poet\" was published in the anthology  New World Writing , alongside work from acclaimed writers like Edith and Sacheverell Sitwell.   ","Patrick Boland wrote for the rest of his life. Notably, as found in this collection, he wrote research and analysis on the British-American poet W.H. Auden. In correspondence, Boland also wrote of his debilitating and consuming struggle with asthma. In the few years leading up to his death in 1984, Boland was hospitalized numerous times due to cardiac arrest. He was 63 years old. Sometime before, in 1982, he left a note on a Kleenex box: \"Love without saying goes so long; Then just as now, it goes longer.\" "],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item], Patrick Boland collection, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["[Identification of item], Patrick Boland collection, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eProcessed by and finding aid prepared by Amelia Cuttle in 2023.\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information"],"processinfo_tesim":["Processed by and finding aid prepared by Amelia Cuttle in 2023."],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e\u003cextref href=\"https://scua.library.ucf.edu/repositories/4/resources/35\"\u003eWalter and Dorothy Donnelly family papers\u003c/extref\u003e, Special Collections \u0026amp; University Archives, University of Central Florida Libraries, Orlando, Florida.   \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003e\u003cextref href=\"https://archives.nypl.org/brg/19132#overview\"\u003eW.H.

These records document the activities of the sanctuary, including habitat studies, research materials, educational records, correspondence, and general management of the site, from invasive species mitigation to controlled burns."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Audubon Florida Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary Records donation included published book materials that are being processed for inclusion into the collection and will be traced on this record.\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["Cataloged Publications"],"odd_tesim":["The Audubon Florida Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary Records donation included published book materials that are being processed for inclusion into the collection and will be traced on this record."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection consists of organizational papers, scientific data, field notebooks, correspondence, photographs and photographic slides, maps, and clippings.\u003c/p\u003e"],"scopecontent_heading_ssm":["Scope and Contents"],"scopecontent_tesim":["This collection consists of organizational papers, scientific data, field notebooks, correspondence, photographs and photographic slides, maps, and clippings."],"separatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMaps and publications related to the archival collection are cataloged individually and shelved in the Environment and Natural History Collection.

As an elderly man, he recalled that he excelled in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, but was disadvantaged by his age and size in sports activities.","1918-1923: He studied Electrical Engineering at the University of Bristol, with first class honors and stayed on to study mathematics, completing his examinations with first class honors after two additional years.","1923-1926: He was admitted to St. John's College at Cambridge, studying with Ralph A. Fowler. During this time he published several technical papers and in 1926 he was awarded his Ph.D. with a thesis \"Quantum Mechanics\" and traveled to other European centers where modern physics was being investigated.","1927-1933: He progressed rapidly in his research positions being successively elected a Fellow at St. John's College of Cambridge University, 1927; Praelector in Mathematical Physics, 1929; Fellow of the Royal Society, 1930; Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, 1932; Nobel Prize for Physics in 1933 along with Erwin Schroedinger.","1930: He published the first edition of  The Principles of Quantum Mechanics .","1933-1969: He continued his research activity and traveled widely, teaching and lecturing frequently in Europe, Asia, and North America, interrupted only during the time he was involved in War-related work, often taking short-term lecturing positions at major universities until his retirement from Cambridge in 1969. In 1937, he married Margit (\"Manci\") Wigner, the sister of Eugene P. Wigner a Hungarian colleague at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study. He adopted her two children, Judith and Gabriel. They had two daughters, Mary Elizabeth and Florence Monica.","1972-1984: He accepted an appointment at Florida State University and moved to Tallahassee where he continued his active research and travel until near the end of his life on October 20, 1984. He is buried in Tallahassee.","To ensure the preservation of the materials and their accessibility to researchers, nonprint materials (photographs, negatives, memorabilia, and recordings) have been removed from their original locations among the papers and collected into appropriate locations. Manuscripts, galley proofs, and published materials by P. A. M. Dirac similarly have been brought together. His office collections of reprints and books have been maintained as transferred.","Very little of the deposited material has been removed, mainly envelopes not needed to establish dates or the identity of correspondents. Likewise journals, multiple copies of reprints, and other published materials, easily found in libraries' holdings, have been removed unless there was evidence of Dirac's use. All other items received have been retained. There is no evidence that it was Dirac's practice to keep a file of outgoing correspondence. Except for occasional notes on incoming letters to guide his assistants in replying, the content of his outgoing letters must be inferred from his actions and from subsequent incoming letters or by examining the correspondence of the recipients in other repositories.","Regrettably, much of the original order of the collection was disrupted prior to deposit as a consequence of arriving at various times from Dirac's office, home, and elsewhere and the reintegration of a collection materials temporarily on loan to the Churchill College Archives. A trans-Atlantic relocation of the Dirac possessions from Cambridge to Tallahassee in 1972 undoubtedly had a similar effect. However, during the processing of this collection, the original order of the files was preserved as closely as possible. The general arrangement consists of three major segments: the first consisting of family papers and photographs, regardless of date, and materials relating to this educational activities through his being awarded his doctorate at Cambridge in 1926. The second, and largest, segment is comprised of his \"professional\" papers dealing with his scientific work, lecturing, and teaching. Materials dealing with his extensive travel, membership in professional associations, and awards are also in this section. The third component contains realia, honorary certificates, and similar items.","Processed by: Charles Wm. Conaway, Joseph R. McElrath, Jr., Billie B. Oakes, and Burton H.

As an elderly man, he recalled that he excelled in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, but was disadvantaged by his age and size in sports activities.","1918-1923: He studied Electrical Engineering at the University of Bristol, with first class honors and stayed on to study mathematics, completing his examinations with first class honors after two additional years.","1923-1926: He was admitted to St. John's College at Cambridge, studying with Ralph A. Fowler. During this time he published several technical papers and in 1926 he was awarded his Ph.D. with a thesis \"Quantum Mechanics\" and traveled to other European centers where modern physics was being investigated.","1927-1933: He progressed rapidly in his research positions being successively elected a Fellow at St. John's College of Cambridge University, 1927; Praelector in Mathematical Physics, 1929; Fellow of the Royal Society, 1930; Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, 1932; Nobel Prize for Physics in 1933 along with Erwin Schroedinger.","1930: He published the first edition of  The Principles of Quantum Mechanics .","1933-1969: He continued his research activity and traveled widely, teaching and lecturing frequently in Europe, Asia, and North America, interrupted only during the time he was involved in War-related work, often taking short-term lecturing positions at major universities until his retirement from Cambridge in 1969. In 1937, he married Margit (\"Manci\") Wigner, the sister of Eugene P. Wigner a Hungarian colleague at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study. He adopted her two children, Judith and Gabriel. They had two daughters, Mary Elizabeth and Florence Monica.","1972-1984: He accepted an appointment at Florida State University and moved to Tallahassee where he continued his active research and travel until near the end of his life on October 20, 1984.
