Oversize Material.","Mary Brickell (1836-1922) was a businesswoman, landowner, real estate developer, and is recognized as one of the \"founding mothers\" of the city of Miami.","Mary Brickell (nee Bulmer) was born on February 20, 1836 in Little Bolton, Lancashire, England, to Joseph and Catherine Bulmer. She was the second oldest of five daughters, and one of six children. The family moved to Australia in 1839 and later purchased land in Albury in 1855.","Mary Bulmer married William Brickell (b. 1825) in Melbourne in 1862 and set sail for the United States as man and wife the next day. William and Mary arrived in New York in September 1862. The couple and their two children moved to Steubenville, Ohio and would settle in Cleveland in 1865. Mary would give birth to three more children in the next four years; two daughters and a son.","Due to a loss of finances, William wanted to move south and cited Mary's desire to live in a warmer climate. In 1870, he traveled to Florida and became attracted to its natural beauty and warm climate. In December 1871, Mary and the children joined William in the house he had built. The family was one of few white families in the Biscayne Bay area. William and Mary opened a trading post and post office on the south bank of the Miami River. Mary would often work in the trading post while William was away on business trips. The couple notably served Seminole Indians in the area, making fair trades and establishing long relationships.","William and Mary Brickell, along with Julia Tuttle, contributed their land to Henry Flagler and the Florida East Coast Railway. The railroad was a key factor in Miami's subsequent rapid growth.

It is only recently that her actions and role as a \"founding mother\" of the city of Miami have been publicly recognized.","Carmen Petsoules, a local historian, is known for reviving public interest in the Brickell family and campaigning successfully to have Mary Brickell officially recognized as a co-founder of Miami.","Carmen Petsoules (nee Mirta Vidal) was born in Havana, Cuba, on June 17, 1926.

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.

He donated accruals to the collection in 1985 (BCHA-1985.7), 1993 (BCHA-1993.20), and 1996 (BCHA-1996.1).","The Vreeland family was among the first residents of Fort Lauderdale at the beginning of the 20th century. James Barnes Vreeland Sr. (1864–1943), a native of Flat Rock, Michigan, and his wife, Cordelia Deveaux Vreeland (1862–1958), Huguenot descent, originally from New Rochelle, New York, moved with their son, James B. Vreeland Jr. (1899–1978), to Florida in 1900. The family relocated from Larchmont, N.Y., to the Indian River area, where they purchased a citrus acreage that had not yet begun producing.","In 1906, at the request of President Theodore Roosevelt, Vreeland Sr. became captain of the Coast Guard House of Refuge (Station #4) in Fort Lauderdale, near Las Olas Beach, a post he held until 1915. The family rescued sailors shipwrecked on the reefs and managed two early local institutions: the Broward Hotel and the Las Olas Inn. He was also the first surveyors in Broward County.","During the first decade of the 20th century, Captain Vreeland Sr. faced several crises and storms, including an incident involving a crew that had mutinied against its captain off the coast of Florida. As a government agent, he boarded the vessel to reason with the crew, ultimately bringing the mutiny to an end.\nHe was also involved in real estate and took an active role in civic projects aimed at developing Fort Lauderdale. He and his wife were charter members of the First Presbyterian Church. In 1943, Vreeland Sr. died in an accident when his tractor went out of control and overturned, killing the 78 year old.","His wife, Cordelia Deveaux Vreeland, was an active member of the Woman's Club of Fort Lauderdale, serving both as president and historian. She contributed to the establishment of Fort Lauderdale's first public library, the forerunner of today's Broward County Library. Upon her arrival in the area, she played the organ for Methodist and Baptist services. Between 1912 and 1913, Cordelia Vreeland directed the city's first choral group, known as the Tuesday Evening Woman's Chorus.","Their son, James B. Vreeland Jr. (married to Dorothy Viola Simpson), continued the family's legacy as early as 1913 by expanding the fishing business as a charter captain. Captain Vreeland Jr. built his four boats, the Kingfishers, and went off the coast of Florida and the Bahamas capturing different kinds of game fish—sailfish, blue and white marlins, sharks, mantas, dolphins, barracudas, and others. Vreeland Jr. took his passion to another level by photographing and filming his catches for game fishing audiences from the 1920s to the early 1970s. Vreeland Jr. also shared his experience at sea by writing articles in newspapers and magazines, broadcasting stories on the radio during WWII, and lending his photographs to editors interested in publishing fishing action images. Outside of fishing, Vreeland Jr. became involved in the Bahia-Mar Charter Boatmen's Association as an active member and later served as its president.","During WWII, Captain Vreeland Jr. served in an unofficial role as a \"sea mailman,\" retrieving ship letters that had been thrown overboard so they could be preserved in case a vessel was attacked by German forces. In 1961, the City of Fort Lauderdale recognized James B. Vreeland Jr.'s contributions to the city's development by issuing a citation of esteem for his genuine pioneership.","His son, Harold Vreeland (1924-1997), followed the same path as his predecessors by keeping the charter business alive at Bahia Mar. At a young age, Harold learned fishing techniques, breaking a record at just 14 by catching a giant mangrove snapper with rod and reel. During WWII, Harold Vreeland served in the Navy for over three years and spent 13 months on active duty in the Pacific aboard the destroyer USS Mansfield, one of the 17 ships in Admiral Halsey's fleet.\nHarold Vreeland participated in numerous tournaments in the United States and the Bahamas on several privately owned yachts. Married for more than fifty years to Lorraine DeBow Vreeland (1921-2011), the couple had two children: Jane and Jack. Jack Vreeland was the last of the family to take an avid interest in fishing off the coast of Florida.","This collection received item level processing. This finding aid may be updated to reflect new descriptions as well as acquisitions to the collection.","Personal papers and items of Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Vreeland, Sr. donated by Harold Vreeland. The collection showcases the Vreelands' interest in fishing, boating, nautical scenery, and community engagement over three generations of fishermen in Fort Lauderdale. It comprises numerous photographs of fish taken off the coast of Fort Lauderdale in the Gulf Stream; postcards of Fort Lauderdale and other landmarks in Florida; nautical and fishing stories written by James B. Vreeland Jr.; nautical charts; correspondence; scrapbooks; news clippings; logbooks from the House of Refuge; artifacts and nautical instruments; and audiovisual materials recorded by James B. Vreeland Jr. and his son, Harold Vreeland. The collection also documents local history and highlights Cordelia Vreeland's involvement in the Woman's Club as both historian and president. The collection contains 19 boxes (including seven albums consisting of photographs and scrapbooks), four Hollinger boxes, three oversized boxes (nautical charts, news clippings, and flags), and five boxes with different sizes containing artifacts and objects.","The collection is arranged into five series: 1. Photographs, postcards, and illustrations; 2. Boating and fishing; 3. Vreeland family personal papers; 4. Objects, artwork, and relics; 5. Audiovisual materials.","The Photographs, postcards, and illustrations series includes illustrations depicting fishing, boating, nautical scenery, the Vreeland family, hurricanes and storms, and various aquatic and marine activities. For the most part, the photographs showcase various species such as sailfish, white marlin, blue marlin, manta rays, sharks, mangrove snappers, tarpon, bonefish, mahi-mahi, barracuda, kingfish, and other game fish caught off the coast of Florida and in the Gulf Stream. It also illustrates various boats owned by the Vreeland family, including the Kingfishers (III, IV, and V), the Agnes, and a glass-bottom boat called the Mermaid of the Sea. It also features warships—such as cruisers and destroyers—navigating off the coast of Fort Lauderdale during World War II. ","It also showcases members of the Vreeland family over three generations, with a particular focus on James B. Vreeland Sr. and Cordelia Vreeland. Postcards and souvenir cards depict Fort Lauderdale's nautical scenery, canals, beaches, and waterfront development, as well as notable Florida landmarks such as Cypress Gardens, the Singing Tower at Mountain Lake, and historic sites in St. Augustine. The postcards also feature big-game fishing scenes, marine wildlife, Vreeland family vessels, military ships, and regional tourist attractions. Although the majority of items portray Fort Lauderdale, a smaller number document locations outside Florida, including Halls Harbour (Nova Scotia), Alabama, and Tennessee.","The boating and fishing series includes writings by James B. Vreeland Jr., such as sea stories intended to educate the public about game‑fishing activities and boating. These stories were published in newspapers and magazines and were also broadcast on radio. The series additionally contains publications and flyers featuring photographs taken by Vreeland that document fishing activities. Other material includes the House of Refuge logbooks kept by James B. Vreeland Sr. in the early twentieth century.","The Vreeland family personal papers series includes personal documents and realia pertaining to the Vreeland family at various stages of their lives, as well as scrapbooks, news clippings, photographs, and other materials documenting the history of Fort Lauderdale and Florida. Additional materials relate to Cordelia Vreeland's involvement in the Woman's Club of Fort Lauderdale, particularly in her role as historian.","The Objects, artwork, and relics series includes nautical instruments used by James B.

He married Ruby Wiggins in 1919 and later had a daugher named Jo Mildred. In 1922, the Hawkins family moved to Oakland Park for the opportunity to farm. Hawkins also served as mayor on the fledgling combination government of the unrealized Floranada Club development annexed with Oakland Park. The end to the Florida land boom, the 1926 hurricane, and the Great Depression resulted in the financial failure of Floranada. In 1929 Oakland Park became its own city with Hawkins elected as mayor. Having originally been elected mayor of Floranada / Oakland Park in 1926, he served as mayor for 28 years in total. He retired as Mayor of Oakland Park after multiple temporary attempts, as he had been reelected due to popular demand.","Hawkins had one of the biggest vegetable farms in Broward County and personally provided food and money to those who needed it during the Depression.
