Since its inception, SFA has been dedicated to supporting the interests of the commercial fishing industry in the southeastern United States, with a focus on Florida. Through advocacy and collaboration, the association works to address key issues affecting fisheries management and promote sustainable practices within the industry. \n \nSFA played a large role in the historic 1994 Florida case that approved Amendment 3, also known as the Net Ban. This ban limited the use of entangling nets in Florida waters and had a significant impact on commercial fishermen and consumers of seafood. Members of SFA challenged the amendment through the legal system to try and prevent the implementation of such a ban, but on July 1st, 1995, the use of gill and trammel nets in Florida waters were ultimately outlawed. For years to come, members of SFA would continue to fight the net ban in Florida and to try and prevent similar outcomes in the rest of the southeast. Documents in this collection show their efforts. ","In addition to their other lobbying work, the SFA focused on the Magnuson-Stevens Act, also referred to as the Magnuson Act. The act was a precursor to the Net Ban and affected the fishing community for decades. Originally passed in 1976, its primary objective was to prevent overfishing. Federally declared a \"fishing disaster\" for the harm it caused to the fishing industry in the Northeast United States, many commercial fishermen, like most members of the SFA, strongly opposed this act for its lack of protection, transparency, and it's extremely stringent rules, as reflected throughout this collection. ","SFA was involved in many outreach programs throughout the southeast region that involved activities like education, trade, conservation, and various other efforts. Robert P. Jones, donor of this collection, served as president of SFA from 1964 to 2018. Throughout his 54 years of leadership, Jones' engagement with seafood industry stakeholders has been foundational to the organization's influence on both the commercial fishing culture and seafood production in the United States. ","The Southeastern Fisheries Association remains active today, dedicated to supporting, safeguarding, and advancing the commercial fishing industry across the southeastern United States. It represents harvesters, packers, processors, distributors, and restaurants focused on preserving fishery resources, the livelihoods of fishermen, and the wellbeing of fishing communities.

Since its inception, SFA has been dedicated to supporting the interests of the commercial fishing industry in the southeastern United States, with a focus on Florida. Through advocacy and collaboration, the association works to address key issues affecting fisheries management and promote sustainable practices within the industry. \n \nSFA played a large role in the historic 1994 Florida case that approved Amendment 3, also known as the Net Ban. This ban limited the use of entangling nets in Florida waters and had a significant impact on commercial fishermen and consumers of seafood. Members of SFA challenged the amendment through the legal system to try and prevent the implementation of such a ban, but on July 1st, 1995, the use of gill and trammel nets in Florida waters were ultimately outlawed. For years to come, members of SFA would continue to fight the net ban in Florida and to try and prevent similar outcomes in the rest of the southeast. Documents in this collection show their efforts. ","In addition to their other lobbying work, the SFA focused on the Magnuson-Stevens Act, also referred to as the Magnuson Act. The act was a precursor to the Net Ban and affected the fishing community for decades. Originally passed in 1976, its primary objective was to prevent overfishing. Federally declared a \"fishing disaster\" for the harm it caused to the fishing industry in the Northeast United States, many commercial fishermen, like most members of the SFA, strongly opposed this act for its lack of protection, transparency, and it's extremely stringent rules, as reflected throughout this collection. ","SFA was involved in many outreach programs throughout the southeast region that involved activities like education, trade, conservation, and various other efforts. Robert P. Jones, donor of this collection, served as president of SFA from 1964 to 2018. Throughout his 54 years of leadership, Jones' engagement with seafood industry stakeholders has been foundational to the organization's influence on both the commercial fishing culture and seafood production in the United States.

His parents were Frances Cohen (December 16, 1906– May 9, 1980) and Mitchell Wolfson (1900–1983). His father was the founder of Wometco Enterprises in 1925 and served as the first Jewish mayor of Miami Beach in 1943. His older brother, Louis Wolfson II, was a Florida state representative from Dade County from 1963–1973. Mickey Wolfson is a graduate of the Lawrenceville School, Princeton, and Johns Hopkins. He is an American businessman and collector and founded the Wolfsonian Museum in Miami Beach and Genoa, Italy. ","Collector: In 1986 Wolfson established The Wolfsonian Foundation, a research center and museum in Miami Beach, and began publishing The Journal of Decorative and Propaganda Art, a journal fostering scholarship in late 19th- and early 20th-century design. In the same year he acquired the Mackenzie Castle in Genoa to house his collection. ","In 1997 he donated his collection, estimated at 80,000 objects, and the state-of-the-art museum to Florida International University. It was the basis for the Wolfsonian Museum-FIU, a research center and museum. In downtown Miami, the new Michael Wolfson Jr. Study Centre provides access to a collection of decorative, design and propaganda arts of the period 1885 to 1945. In Italy, the newly inaugurated Wolfsoniana Museum in Genoa exhibits elements from his collection that comprises more than 18,000 works on paper, paintings, sculpture, furniture and decorative objects. ","\nCommunity Activities: He is president of The Wolfson Initiative, Washington Storage Company, and the Novecento Corporation. He sits on the Wolfsonian-FIU Advisory Board and the Florida International University Board of Directors and is a trustee for the Mitchell Wolfson Senior Foundation that supports educational and health issues. Also, he is a trustee for the Mitchell Wolfson Family Foundation that supports the Audubon House and Tropical Gardens in Key West, Florida. He is a member of the International Council of the Museum of Arts and Design, the International Council of The Museum of Modern Art, the International Council of Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France, and a past member of the American Friends of the Louvre. He is on the advisory council of Princeton University's Department of Comparative Literature and on the advisory council of the Paul N. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. ","\nWolfson co-authored Miami Beach: Blueprint of an Eden with artist Michele Oka Doner. Published in 2005, the book is a personal portrayal of Miami Beach from the 1920s through the 1960s.

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 had a small grove, but also worked at Lake Garfield Citrus Cooperative as a night watchman and repaired their wooden field crates before moving up the ladder to become the General Manager.  Jim grew up with his younger brother Charles, working in his family's groves hoeing, feeding livestock, pruning trees – whatever needed to be done – a trait he would carry with him throughout his life.","He attended a wooden three-room schoolhouse in Alturas through six grades, moving on to Bartow High School for two years before going to the Summerlin Institute – where he graduated in 1953. He was a Sentinel in the FFA, as well as a member of the Parliamentarian and Judging Teams, and participated in the first Polk County Youth Fair, where he placed with a dairy animal. After graduation, he attended a National Guard summer camp, which prompted him to join the army in September of that year. He served in the United States Army with the 7th Infantry Division from 1953-56 in Korea, replacing those who were on the front lines and preparing their remains for shipment back to the United States.","He finished his tour of duty and returned home in 1956, where he met and married his wife of almost 60 years, Shirley, who he met through her father, a Baptist preacher in Alturas.  He worked for a year with the Plant Board on the burrowing nematode project, digging up roots and putting them in a jar for testing.  His crew leader was a graduate of Florida Southern College and it didn't take Jim long to realize that an education meant better wages, so he signed up for Florida Southern College on the GI Bill majoring in citrus. While there, he was president of the Citrus Club and received the Florida Citrus Mutual Award for Outstanding Achievement in the field of citrus studies, graduating in 1960 with a degree in citrus.  While attending school, Jim worked part-time in groves for whoever would hire him, earning a reputation as a personable hard worker who knew his way around a grove.","Shortly before Jim's graduation, Bob Rutledge, the general manager of Florida Citrus Mutual, was driving through town, saw Jim, and yelled out the car window for Jim to stop by and see him.  Jim did, and Rutledge hired him on the spot as the Florida Citrus Mutual field man for Polk County under Dale Carlton. He worked there for five years during the early stages of FCM– hosting steak dinners and signing up growers as members of the organization.","In 1965, his father and Uncle Joe needed him as a shipping clerk for Lake Garfield Citrus Cooperative and, after a brief stint selling chemicals to growers, he moved up the ladder to General Manager, making him the third Ellis man to work in that position for Lake Garfield Citrus Cooperative.","As general manager, Jim learned to \"think outside the box,\" always experimenting with ways to do things better but – more importantly – sharing his successes with other industry members.  In 1979, he gave a presentation to the Florida State Horticultural Society which was printed in the February 1980 issue of Citrus Industry Magazine titled \"Innovations for Citrus Packinghouses.\"  The article showcased a number of unique ideas including: mechanical gathering of leaves and other trash in pallet boxes that are dumped with a homemade forklift attachment; controlled recycling of hot air to reduce dryer fuel costs; a \"magnetic broom\" on forklift trucks in the receiving yard to gather nails and junk metal that otherwise ruin tires; and electric photocells that detected a fruit pile-up in the cannery bins and shut off the necessary equipment. He introduced the first electronic sorter to the state of Florida and experimented with cutting and scoring grapefruit, applying a sweetener and shrink wrapping them to market as a breakfast item. In addition, he was among the early experimenters using different forms of automated fruit harvesting equipment such as cherry pickers to shake seedling trees and abscission chemicals, which were only good when conditions were ideal.","When the freezes shut down the packinghouse in the late '80s, Jim went to work at Orange-Co as the production manager for Polk County, going back to chemical sales when they shut down.  However, his broad knowledge of the growers and the industry made him an ideal candidate for running the Citrus License \u0026 Bonds, Division of Fruits \u0026 Vegetables, for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.  His attention to detail and love for the industry helped him watch out for the growers' interest in numerous fruit-buying situations.","Jim has served on numerous boards, including stints as president for the Polk County Farm Bureau, Florida Citrus Showcase and the Interior Seald-Sweet Shippers, Inc. He was a member of the Citrus Research and Education Foundation, the Polk County Extension Overall Advisory Council, the Florida Farm Bureau and a 25-year member of the Kiwanis Club.","His main love, however, is history and talking about history.  Jim always has a story to tell if you have the time to listen, and – if you don't – you should make time, because he's a great storyteller!!!  His recollections of the early days of the industry are an invaluable asset to the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame's Oral History Project, and he is constantly finding old artifacts to add to the archival collections – along with the information on how they were utilized. He continues to run the \"No Names\" Club, which is strictly for \"old-timers,\" and sets up the meetings and programs each month.","However, Jim is probably best known for not only his passion for the citrus industry and its history, but his citrus crate label collection.  He has one of the largest collections of Florida citrus crate labels in the world, which is the nucleus for the Florida Citrus Label Digital Collection at Florida Southern College.  He and fellow label collector, Jerry Chicone, brought label-collecting to the forefront in the early '60s and '70s, when people were throwing out and burning old labels to make room in the packinghouses for the cardboard fruit boxes which had taken the place of the wooden shipping crates.  His collection, along with that of Chicone's, has been used in three books on citrus labels, and has even been featured in the décor of a restaurant recently opened in Sarasota!","However, the newest development based on Jim's collection is the Polk County Citrus Label Driving Tour, which is a collaboration between the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame, Visit Central Florida and The Polk County History and Heritage Trail to stimulate interest in the history and citrus legacy of all the communities throughout Polk County. This flagship program currently includes almost 20 installations with enlarged reproductions of the vintage labels located on various buildings and sites throughout the county. The accompanying map provides background information on each label displayed, presenting the connection between that community and the citrus industry and the long-term goal is to eventually take the concept statewide and help showcase the importance of the citrus industry to the state of Florida.","He has been an avid speaker about both citrus labels and the industry in general, helping educate everyone from school children to senior citizens on the Florida citrus industry.  He was also a key component in creating the partnership in 2008 between the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame and his beloved alma mater, Florida Southern College.  He attended the initial meetings between Dr. Anne Kerr, Rob Tate and the Hall of Fame, helping to smooth the way for the move to FSC and raise the necessary funding.  Funding that not only led to a physical presence on campus, but a website and fellowship endowments that have led to an engaged learning program with FSC students focused on preserving the heritage of the Florida citrus industry.  Current digital collections include over 1,500 Florida citrus labels, 350 industry postcards and 500 photographs, as well as oral history interviews and Hall of Fame member biographies.","Jim has led a distinguished career for decades in the Florida citrus industry as a grower, packer, industry representative and historian. His love of the industry and his willingness to share his knowledge has made him an invaluable resource to whoever asks him for help or information.  Dr. Calvin Arnold summed it up nicely: \"Jim really gives to the industry from his heart, with no expectation of personal gain – his passion IS the citrus industry.\"\nBiographical Information found via Florida Citrus Hall of Fame website.","This collection contains various artifacts relating to citrus history.

His father had a small grove, but also worked at Lake Garfield Citrus Cooperative as a night watchman and repaired their wooden field crates before moving up the ladder to become the General Manager.  Jim grew up with his younger brother Charles, working in his family's groves hoeing, feeding livestock, pruning trees – whatever needed to be done – a trait he would carry with him throughout his life.","He attended a wooden three-room schoolhouse in Alturas through six grades, moving on to Bartow High School for two years before going to the Summerlin Institute – where he graduated in 1953. He was a Sentinel in the FFA, as well as a member of the Parliamentarian and Judging Teams, and participated in the first Polk County Youth Fair, where he placed with a dairy animal. After graduation, he attended a National Guard summer camp, which prompted him to join the army in September of that year. He served in the United States Army with the 7th Infantry Division from 1953-56 in Korea, replacing those who were on the front lines and preparing their remains for shipment back to the United States.","He finished his tour of duty and returned home in 1956, where he met and married his wife of almost 60 years, Shirley, who he met through her father, a Baptist preacher in Alturas.  He worked for a year with the Plant Board on the burrowing nematode project, digging up roots and putting them in a jar for testing.  His crew leader was a graduate of Florida Southern College and it didn't take Jim long to realize that an education meant better wages, so he signed up for Florida Southern College on the GI Bill majoring in citrus. While there, he was president of the Citrus Club and received the Florida Citrus Mutual Award for Outstanding Achievement in the field of citrus studies, graduating in 1960 with a degree in citrus.  While attending school, Jim worked part-time in groves for whoever would hire him, earning a reputation as a personable hard worker who knew his way around a grove.","Shortly before Jim's graduation, Bob Rutledge, the general manager of Florida Citrus Mutual, was driving through town, saw Jim, and yelled out the car window for Jim to stop by and see him.  Jim did, and Rutledge hired him on the spot as the Florida Citrus Mutual field man for Polk County under Dale Carlton. He worked there for five years during the early stages of FCM– hosting steak dinners and signing up growers as members of the organization.","In 1965, his father and Uncle Joe needed him as a shipping clerk for Lake Garfield Citrus Cooperative and, after a brief stint selling chemicals to growers, he moved up the ladder to General Manager, making him the third Ellis man to work in that position for Lake Garfield Citrus Cooperative.","As general manager, Jim learned to \"think outside the box,\" always experimenting with ways to do things better but – more importantly – sharing his successes with other industry members.  In 1979, he gave a presentation to the Florida State Horticultural Society which was printed in the February 1980 issue of Citrus Industry Magazine titled \"Innovations for Citrus Packinghouses.\"  The article showcased a number of unique ideas including: mechanical gathering of leaves and other trash in pallet boxes that are dumped with a homemade forklift attachment; controlled recycling of hot air to reduce dryer fuel costs; a \"magnetic broom\" on forklift trucks in the receiving yard to gather nails and junk metal that otherwise ruin tires; and electric photocells that detected a fruit pile-up in the cannery bins and shut off the necessary equipment. He introduced the first electronic sorter to the state of Florida and experimented with cutting and scoring grapefruit, applying a sweetener and shrink wrapping them to market as a breakfast item. In addition, he was among the early experimenters using different forms of automated fruit harvesting equipment such as cherry pickers to shake seedling trees and abscission chemicals, which were only good when conditions were ideal.","When the freezes shut down the packinghouse in the late '80s, Jim went to work at Orange-Co as the production manager for Polk County, going back to chemical sales when they shut down.  However, his broad knowledge of the growers and the industry made him an ideal candidate for running the Citrus License \u0026 Bonds, Division of Fruits \u0026 Vegetables, for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.  His attention to detail and love for the industry helped him watch out for the growers' interest in numerous fruit-buying situations.","Jim has served on numerous boards, including stints as president for the Polk County Farm Bureau, Florida Citrus Showcase and the Interior Seald-Sweet Shippers, Inc. He was a member of the Citrus Research and Education Foundation, the Polk County Extension Overall Advisory Council, the Florida Farm Bureau and a 25-year member of the Kiwanis Club.","His main love, however, is history and talking about history.  Jim always has a story to tell if you have the time to listen, and – if you don't – you should make time, because he's a great storyteller!!!  His recollections of the early days of the industry are an invaluable asset to the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame's Oral History Project, and he is constantly finding old artifacts to add to the archival collections – along with the information on how they were utilized. He continues to run the \"No Names\" Club, which is strictly for \"old-timers,\" and sets up the meetings and programs each month.","However, Jim is probably best known for not only his passion for the citrus industry and its history, but his citrus crate label collection.

He was a member of the Citrus Research and Education Foundation, the Polk County Extension Overall Advisory Council, the Florida Farm Bureau and a 25-year member of the Kiwanis Club.","His main love, however, is history and talking about history.  Jim always has a story to tell if you have the time to listen, and – if you don't – you should make time, because he's a great storyteller!!!  His recollections of the early days of the industry are an invaluable asset to the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame's Oral History Project, and he is constantly finding old artifacts to add to the archival collections – along with the information on how they were utilized. He continues to run the \"No Names\" Club, which is strictly for \"old-timers,\" and sets up the meetings and programs each month.","However, Jim is probably best known for not only his passion for the citrus industry and its history, but his citrus crate label collection.  He has one of the largest collections of Florida citrus crate labels in the world, which is the nucleus for the Florida Citrus Label Digital Collection at Florida Southern College.  He and fellow label collector, Jerry Chicone, brought label-collecting to the forefront in the early '60s and '70s, when people were throwing out and burning old labels to make room in the packinghouses for the cardboard fruit boxes which had taken the place of the wooden shipping crates.  His collection, along with that of Chicone's, has been used in three books on citrus labels, and has even been featured in the décor of a restaurant recently opened in Sarasota!","However, the newest development based on Jim's collection is the Polk County Citrus Label Driving Tour, which is a collaboration between the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame, Visit Central Florida and The Polk County History and Heritage Trail to stimulate interest in the history and citrus legacy of all the communities throughout Polk County. This flagship program currently includes almost 20 installations with enlarged reproductions of the vintage labels located on various buildings and sites throughout the county. The accompanying map provides background information on each label displayed, presenting the connection between that community and the citrus industry and the long-term goal is to eventually take the concept statewide and help showcase the importance of the citrus industry to the state of Florida.","He has been an avid speaker about both citrus labels and the industry in general, helping educate everyone from school children to senior citizens on the Florida citrus industry.  He was also a key component in creating the partnership in 2008 between the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame and his beloved alma mater, Florida Southern College.  He attended the initial meetings between Dr. Anne Kerr, Rob Tate and the Hall of Fame, helping to smooth the way for the move to FSC and raise the necessary funding.  Funding that not only led to a physical presence on campus, but a website and fellowship endowments that have led to an engaged learning program with FSC students focused on preserving the heritage of the Florida citrus industry.  Current digital collections include over 1,500 Florida citrus labels, 350 industry postcards and 500 photographs, as well as oral history interviews and Hall of Fame member biographies.","Jim has led a distinguished career for decades in the Florida citrus industry as a grower, packer, industry representative and historian. His love of the industry and his willingness to share his knowledge has made him an invaluable resource to whoever asks him for help or information.  Dr. Calvin Arnold summed it up nicely: \"Jim really gives to the industry from his heart, with no expectation of personal gain – his passion IS the citrus industry.\"\nBiographical Information found via Florida Citrus Hall of Fame website."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection contains various artifacts relating to citrus history.
