Title A name given to the resource Haven School Neighborhood Project Description An account of the resource Puddle Dock and the South End are the oldest neighborhoods in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which was settled in 1623. The first school building in Portsmouth was built and opened in 1713 and was located close to the site that would become the Haven School in 1846. When it opened, Haven School contained four graded schools: infant, primary, intermediate, and grammar. In 1969, Little Harbour School was built to replace Haven School. In 1978, the Haven School’s brick building was turned into condominiums. The Haven School Neighborhood consists of the South End and Puddle Dock areas. Strawbery Banke Museum now occupies the space once known as Puddle Dock. The Haven School Neighborhood is central to all that has happened in Portsmouth since its settlement. It is no exaggeration to say that the history of this neighborhood is at the core of the history of the entire city. Whether the focus is settlement, revolution, maritime activity, economic decline, revitalization, or even acculturation, the Haven School Neighborhood provides the core for study. Library staff have endeavored to make the Haven School Neighborhood Project public to increase access to this important collection and to the history of the neighborhood. The members of this community within a community, past and present, have a story to tell and the nature of that community has dramatically changed. The core of this collection was scanned from photo albums of historic images of people and places from Portsmouth’s South End; created from the history and stories contributed by the people who lived there. The subjects include the South End neighborhood, Puddle Dock neighborhood, and Haven School alumni and span the late-19th to mid-20th centuries. These photographs were gathered in 1982 as part of a reunion of the Puddle Dock area (also known as the Haven School neighborhood for the purposes of this project). Copies of the resulting photo albums were given to Portsmouth Public Library following the Reunion. Former residents have also generously contributed additional photographs and documents to our digital archive project. Comments have been, and continue to be, added via the commenting feature available with each image. This project was made possible by a group of volunteers from the Haven School Neighborhood. Special thanks to Sherm and Cathy Pridham who scanned the majority of these images and provided background information including names, dates, and locations. Images and memories will be added to the project as appropriate over time.

Title A name given to the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Collection Subject The topic of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Description An account of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1833, the son of a stage-driver turned innkeeper in Portsmouth. At the age of twenty, Barnabee moved to Boston, where he worked in the dry goods business while also pursuing acting and amateur singing. In 1859, he married Clara George of Portsmouth in Warner, New Hampshire, where her family originated. They made their home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. In 1865, Barnabee made his formal performance debut and began touring New England with a concert troupe. In 1878, he joined the Boston Ideals, a group formed to present Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, H.M.S Pinafore, though the Ideals would go on to perform other operettas. Barnabee and two other actors from the Boston Ideals formed the Bostonians in 1887. The latter group toured widely, making a number of transcontinental trips, until it finally disbanded in 1904. Its mainstay production was Smith and DeKoven’s comic opera, Robin Hood, in which Barnabee played the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Clara George Barnabee died in 1906, the year in which Barnabee’s career essentially ended. Henry Clay Barnabee published his autobiography, My Wanderings, in 1913 and died in 1917. According to the Library Trustee Meeting Minutes Volume, Dec. 1883 – Oct. 1939, page 62, meeting of September 24, 1907, the Henry Clay Barnabee Collection was offered to Portsmouth Public Library in September of 1907 by Barnabee himself. The Library Trustees accepted the gift and were to confer with Barnabee about his wishes for the collection. An article in the States and Union newspaper, September 9, 1909, leads one to wonder when the collection actually physically arrived at the Library. Plans were being made at that time to house the collection in a special room described in great detail in the article. Barnabee was working on an exhibition to be mounted in the Library in 1909. It is unclear from available materials if that exhibition ever materialized or if the collection was even on site at that time. The original collection was assembled between 1866 and 1906 by Henry Clay Barnabee and his wife, Clara George Barnabee. Some of the collection was reportedly transferred to the Lamb Club in New York City according to Hannah Fernald in 1943, as quoted in the Portsmouth Herald April 23, 1943. The current collection consists of approximately 10 linear feet of materials, including scrapbooks, photograph albums, loose photographs, musical scores, and books, as well as a small number of other loose items such as a large daguerreotype of a child (probably Barnabee) and two framed watercolors of Barnabee in costume. Most of the material dates from 1866-1906. There are a few items before and after that range, most notably the program from a testimonial held in Barnabee’s honor in Boston during March of 1907. It is arranged in eight series, outlined in a series-level finding aid. The collection was arranged by Woodard D. Openo, an Archives student in the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the time, in the fall of 1995. Library staff and Simmons College interns have been working on a detailed finding aid since spring of 2010. During the spring of 2014, the New England Archivists Community Outreach Project spent time indexing and scanning parts of the Barnabee collection. In 2018, funds from the Rosamond Thaxter Foundation were procured for the specific use of cleaning and rehousing items from Box Series II B. 1-9 and Box VII Libretto Series.

Description An account of the resource This collection of 400+ postcards, depicting buildings and scenes of Portsmouth and the Seacoast area, was donated to the Portsmouth Public Library by the family of Louis J. Mackles in May of 2015. It was given specifically by Ross A. Moldoff, Gloria F. Moldoff and Harold Moldoff, who felt the collection should be made available for study and enjoyment. The rehousing of the physical collection into archival albums was made possible by the Moldoffs as well. Mr. Mackles collected postcards throughout his life. This collection, only a small portion of a much larger number, left behind for family and friends to enjoy, is an interesting historic journey through the Seacoast. Some buildings depicted are long gone while multiple postcards of the same building show the progression of time. Postcards (aka "post cards") became popular at the turn of the 20th Century, after being introduced to the U.S. during the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. Used primarily for sending short messages to friends and relatives, people collected them immediately as mementos of a trip or journey, historical events, holidays, etc. They were sold to tourists and often advertised local businesses. Individuals created real photograph postcards to send home to relatives when travelling abroad as well. Immigrants to the U.S. often had photos taken when they arrived at their destination to send home to their native countries. DELTIOLOGY is the hobby of collecting postcards according to Merriam-Webster, but more broadly it is considered the collection, study, and preservation of picture postcards for fun, recreation, relaxation, and enjoyment – and for the historical preservation of life in years past [As described by the American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors http://www.aape.org/collectingpicturepostcardsver17jul.asp]. The Mackles collection was primarily published in the U.S. and Germany and contains many different types of postcards. The standard photo cards, printed and colored or tinted cards, several fold-out strips which became popular in the 1950’s, as well as miniature postcards. Major Louis J. Mackles, USAR (Born in Brownsville, Texas, October 4, 1923. Died at Pease Air Force Base, September 6, 1987) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Excerpted from obituary in the Portsmouth Herald, September 8, 1987: ‘…Maj. Mackles attended A&M and UNH, receiving a master’s degree with high honors in chemical engineering. He served in the Philippines during World War II, retiring as a major in the U.S. Army Reserves. He was the recipient of the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. He retired after 30 years as head of the Radiation Control branch of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard working with Adm. Rickover. Maj. Mackles was a consultant for L.P.I. Engineering in Dover until April 1987. He was a member of Temple Israel, NARFE, Wentworth and Pease Golf Club, the National Association of Technical Supervisors and the Registered Maine State Board of Professional Engineers…’ _______________________________________________________________________________________________ His family kindly provided a copy of the eulogy given in his honor, transcribed as follows: Eulogy for Louis Mackles – Label ben Yudel U’Miriam – d. 9/6/87: 12 Elul We are gathered here today to mourn the passing of Louis Mackles, Label ben Yudel u Miriam, and to speak about his life. Lou, as everyone called him, was born October 4, 1923, the second of two sons, to Idel and Mary Mackles, in Brownsville, TX, and grew up in Galveston, TX. As a young man, he attended Texas A & M for two years. In 1942, when the U.S. entered WWII, he enlisted in the Army. After achieving the rank of Corporal, he was sent to Officers Candidates School in New England. In 1944, before being sent overseas, Lou and his fellow Jewish soldiers attended services at Temple Israel of Portsmouth. Then Rabbi Oscar Fleishaker had urged his congregant families to welcome the Jewish soldiers, and so it was that Lou met Charlotte, the girl he was to marry. Lou was commissioned a second Lt. and sent to the Philippines. During an enemy attack, Lou Mackles, despite being wounded himself, saved the life of a wounded comrade, and refused to leave his men. In addition to his wounds, he developed pneumonia from exposure and might have died, had friendly natives not taken him to an Army field hospital – a three-day journey on foot. Army doctors saved his life. Lou was awarded a Bronze Star for bravery under fire. He also gained a lifelong respect and love for the Army, and it was his wish, in the last days of his life, to be treated in a military hospital, this time at Pease Air Force Base. Following the war, Lou served in the Army Reserves, finally retiring with the rank of Major. After his discharge at the war’s end, Lou married Charlotte in Boston on Jan.1, 1946. He then attended the University of NH, attaining his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering, becoming a professional engineer licensed in both NH and Maine. Son Glenn was born during this period. Then followed a 3-year stint in Wash., DC, where Lou worked for the Bureau of Standards. Thereafter, the family settled permanently in Portsmouth, where daughter Linda was born. Lou took a job at the Navy Yard, where he spent approximately 35 years, working his way up to head of the Radiation Division, building nuclear submarines. Lou was part of the team that produced the Albacore, among other submarines, he served under the legendary Adm. Hyman Rickover. During his years at the yard, he was honored by being asked to present a gold plate to the sponsor of a nuclear sub – which Navy Yard personnel regarded as the highest honor attainable. But more importantly, Lou was well-respected and liked greatly by his colleagues at work, many of whom stayed in touch over the years. It is symbolic of how well-liked he was that old service buddies and friends from work would stay in touch. When Lou became ill, friends would often call the family to find out how he was doing. About 10 years ago, Lou retired from the Yard and worked as a consultant for a private engineering firm in Dover. What sort of man was Lou Mackles? Though I myself arrived in Portsmouth only during the last months of his life, I have the testimony of those who knew and loved him. His family and friends can testify that he was a quiet, soft-spoken man who never said an unkind word about anyone else. I can tell you that he loved children, and was happy to serve as Scoutmaster in a boy scout troop when his children were young. But is more of an eloquent tribute to his memory that, when the little boy who lived across the way from the Mackles was told of Lou’s death, he burst into tears. Lou worked hard, often putting in 18-hours days at the Yard, but he was devoted to his family as well. He was proud of his children’s accomplishments, and loved them unquestioningly. He was also especially close to his nieces and nephews, and was godfather to many of them. As for hobbies, Lou was especially good with his hands. He enjoyed gardening, photography, furniture finishing, and working around the house. He himself did much of the work on the home which he and Charlotte built on Moebus Drive. Golf was a great love, as well. But Lou’s sense of involvement went beyond job, family and hobbies. Having been raised in a traditional family, he retained a strong respect for Judaism, leading him to become an active member of Temple Israel. He served on the Religious Committee, volunteered as an usher on the High Holidays, and helped run the bingo program. Even when he became ill, he refused to take his medicine on Yom Kippur, preferring to fast completely. When, 6 years ago, Lou discovered he had cancer, he determined to fight it. Recalling his WWII bout with combat wounds and pneumonia, he said, “I was supposed to be a goner in the Philippines, but God gave me 40 more good years.” He fought with courage and determination that serve as an example to us all. Lou was a quiet man who never complained, who did not wish to be a burden on anyone. But he was a fighter to the end, a self-made man who loved life, who loved people, who made every minute count of the years he was given. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him. Our religion speaks of the resurrection of the righteous dead. It is one of the most fundamental beliefs of our faith, but one of the most difficult to comprehend. I myself believe that our resurrection depends, not only upon the grade of God, but on the memories we leave our friends and loved ones. Anyone who touched as many lives as did Lou Mackles will surely merit resurrection and eternal life. He will be deeply missed. __________________________________________________________________________________________ This collection was digitized by Jessica Ross with volunteer help by Wynn Welch, Spring/Summer 2016.

Title A name given to the resource Piscataqua River Bridge Construction Photograph Collection Description An account of the resource This collection of 97 black-and-white photographs was added to the Portsmouth Public Library’s Special Collections in 1995. The photos were taken between June 25, 1968 to September 29, 1969 and show the progression of work during the construction of the Piscataqua River Bridge, also known as the I-95 Bridge. Construction of the I-95 bridge, a significant landmark in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was initiated in the late 1960s as part of the Vaughan Street Urban Renewal Project, which also included the demolition of the North End neighborhood. The project aimed to modernize the city and improve its connectivity to the interstate highway system. The bridge specifically was a response to the growing traffic congestion and bottleneck created by the outdated Maine-New Hampshire Lift Bridge. The original plan for the I-95 bridge envisioned a 1,344-foot-long steel-arch span flanked by cantilever truss spans and boasting a 125-foot clearance. However, due to concerns about accommodating ocean-going vessels, the design was revised to provide a 135-foot clearance. Construction began in May 1968 and was a massive undertaking, requiring extensive engineering and construction efforts. Twenty piers were built to support the 4,500-foot-long bridge on the New Hampshire side and 15 were built on the Maine side. The six-lane roadway on the bridge spans 108-feet-wide over the Piscataqua River. Maplewood Avenue and Market Street Extension were developed with the express intent of linking Portsmouth’s downtown to the I-95 bridge. The bridge’s total cost was $21 million, with 90% coming from federal funds with the remainder split between Maine and New Hampshire. The project was marred by tragedy in 1970 when a platform on the Maine side of the bridge collapsed, resulting in the deaths of four construction workers. This incident led to legal proceedings and public scrutiny of the project's safety measures. Despite the challenges and setbacks, the I-95 bridge was ultimately completed and opened to traffic in 1972. A dedication ceremony was held on November 1, 1972 and the Portsmouth High School Clipper Band and the Kittery School Band both performed. One year later, the bridge was named the nation’s most outstanding bridge by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The I-95 bridge’s construction marked a significant milestone in Portsmouth's development, transforming the city into a more accessible and connected urban center. Its construction was a significant achievement, earning recognition from the American Institute of Steel Construction and the U.S. Department of Transportation. In recent years, the bridge has undergone maintenance and restoration efforts to ensure its continued structural integrity and safety. The Piscataqua River Bridge remains a vital component of the Interstate 95 corridor, serving as a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of its builders.

Description An account of the resource This collection is an assemblage of work by Captain Edward H. Adams. They are photographic representations of The Adams Collection which includes about 175 of his original models and carvings. The Adams Collection was previously housed at the Sheafe Warehouse, and is now cared for by the Special Collections staff at Portsmouth Public Library, on behalf of the City of Portsmouth Trustees of the Trust. The Captain was born Edward Hamlin Adams to Joseph and Olive Adams on October 22, 1860. Influenced by his artist mother, he began carving as a child, and started modelling his first scale gundalow in 1882. He completed it in 1886 and spent decades hauling freight and navigating the Piscataqua earning himself the title of “Captain.” Adams was a skilled builder and artist who completed his last gundalow, the Driftwood, in 1950 with his son and business partner Edward Cass Adams. Adams passed away on April 9, 1951 at the age of 91. Between Adams’ earliest carvings and those completed by Cass after his death, more than ninety years of animal and fish carvings, ship models and other folk art are represented in this collections, each of which offer singularly unique interactions with the region’s environmental and maritime past. As comprehensive as this collection is, it is only a portion of Capt. Adams work. Additional pieces of the Captain’s legacy exist in other local institutions and include artifacts and holdings at the Portsmouth Athenaeum, the Portsmouth Historical Society, and the Durham Historic Association Museum. Further holdings also range from the Adams family papers located in the University of New Hampshire archives, to a stunning replica gundalow, inspired by and aptly named for the man himself and sailing today courtesy of the Portsmouth Gundalow Company. The artifacts themselves range from intricately built ship models, carved waterfowl and other regionally-specific animals to miscellaneous household items and tools. They vary widely in size and condition causing the preservation and longevity concerns of this collection to remain a chief priority and part of the emphasis in digitization. Preservation care has included painstaking inventories with special attention paid to both long-term housing requirements, (i.e. size/weight/physical condition) and to the organization of the pieces, (i.e. chronological, thematically etc.) for the purposes of consistent tracking and physical access. The artifacts have also been photographed in order to aid in the efficiency of visual access to the physical artifacts once they are individually wrapped, while minimizing the disturbance of surrounding pieces. The dual roles required to both maintain and preserve a physical collection alongside the creation of a digital one is a purposeful process and specific to the individual collection. In this case, the process for preserving and digitizing the Adams Collection is both driven and compounded by his beloved status in our regional history and the integrity of his contributions as a skilled gundalow captain, navigator and builder. The work of Capt. Adams remains relevant and sought after in any number of fields and venues, rendering diversity of access to his work necessary as well. All preservation and digitization research, quality control, rehousing and organization was completed by PPL Special Collections staff, Nicole Luongo Cloutier and Jessica Ross.

Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant This collection is relevant to Portsmouth, Maritime history, Portsmouth people, and Gundalow history. Description An account of the resource This collection is an assemblage of work by Captain Edward H. Adams. They are photographic representations of The Adams Collection which includes about 175 of his original models and carvings. The Adams Collection was previously housed at the Sheafe Warehouse, and is now cared for by the Special Collections staff at Portsmouth Public Library, on behalf of the City of Portsmouth Trustees of the Trust. The Captain was born Edward Hamlin Adams to Joseph and Olive Adams on October 22, 1860. Influenced by his artist mother, he began carving as a child, and started modelling his first scale gundalow in 1882. He completed it in 1886 and spent decades hauling freight and navigating the Piscataqua earning himself the title of “Captain.” Adams was a skilled builder and artist who completed his last gundalow, the Driftwood, in 1950 with his son and business partner Edward Cass Adams. Adams passed away on April 9, 1951 at the age of 91. Between Adams’ earliest carvings and those completed by Cass after his death, more than ninety years of animal and fish carvings, ship models and other folk art are represented in this collections, each of which offer singularly unique interactions with the region’s environmental and maritime past. As comprehensive as this collection is, it is only a portion of Capt. Adams work. Additional pieces of the Captain’s legacy exist in other local institutions and include artifacts and holdings at the Portsmouth Athenaeum, the Portsmouth Historical Society, and the Durham Historic Association Museum. Further holdings also range from the Adams family papers located in the University of New Hampshire archives, to a stunning replica gundalow, inspired by and aptly named for the man himself and sailing today courtesy of the Portsmouth Gundalow Company. The artifacts themselves range from intricately built ship models, carved waterfowl and other regionally-specific animals to miscellaneous household items and tools. They vary widely in size and condition causing the preservation and longevity concerns of this collection to remain a chief priority and part of the emphasis in digitization. Preservation care has included painstaking inventories with special attention paid to both long-term housing requirements, (i.e. size/weight/physical condition) and to the organization of the pieces, (i.e. chronological, thematically etc.) for the purposes of consistent tracking and physical access. The artifacts have also been photographed in order to aid in the efficiency of visual access to the physical artifacts once they are individually wrapped, while minimizing the disturbance of surrounding pieces. The dual roles required to both maintain and preserve a physical collection alongside the creation of a digital one is a purposeful process and specific to the individual collection. In this case, the process for preserving and digitizing the Adams Collection is both driven and compounded by his beloved status in our regional history and the integrity of his contributions as a skilled gundalow captain, navigator and builder. The work of Capt. Adams remains relevant and sought after in any number of fields and venues, rendering diversity of access to his work necessary as well. All preservation and digitization research, quality control, rehousing and organization was completed by PPL Special Collections staff, Nicole Luongo Cloutier and Jessica Ross.

Between Adams’ earliest carvings and those completed by Cass after his death, more than ninety years of animal and fish carvings, ship models and other folk art are represented in this collections, each of which offer singularly unique interactions with the region’s environmental and maritime past. As comprehensive as this collection is, it is only a portion of Capt. Adams work. Additional pieces of the Captain’s legacy exist in other local institutions and include artifacts and holdings at the Portsmouth Athenaeum, the Portsmouth Historical Society, and the Durham Historic Association Museum. Further holdings also range from the Adams family papers located in the University of New Hampshire archives, to a stunning replica gundalow, inspired by and aptly named for the man himself and sailing today courtesy of the Portsmouth Gundalow Company. The artifacts themselves range from intricately built ship models, carved waterfowl and other regionally-specific animals to miscellaneous household items and tools. They vary widely in size and condition causing the preservation and longevity concerns of this collection to remain a chief priority and part of the emphasis in digitization. Preservation care has included painstaking inventories with special attention paid to both long-term housing requirements, (i.e. size/weight/physical condition) and to the organization of the pieces, (i.e. chronological, thematically etc.) for the purposes of consistent tracking and physical access. The artifacts have also been photographed in order to aid in the efficiency of visual access to the physical artifacts once they are individually wrapped, while minimizing the disturbance of surrounding pieces. The dual roles required to both maintain and preserve a physical collection alongside the creation of a digital one is a purposeful process and specific to the individual collection. In this case, the process for preserving and digitizing the Adams Collection is both driven and compounded by his beloved status in our regional history and the integrity of his contributions as a skilled gundalow captain, navigator and builder. The work of Capt. Adams remains relevant and sought after in any number of fields and venues, rendering diversity of access to his work necessary as well. All preservation and digitization research, quality control, rehousing and organization was completed by PPL Special Collections staff, Nicole Luongo Cloutier and Jessica Ross.

Neighborhoods Streets Photographs Description An account of the resource The Higgins Family Photograph Collection consists of over 300 digital images primarily taken in the late 1800s through the first half of the 20th century. The images capture the everyday moments as well as the celebratory occasions of a family living in Portsmouth’s South End neighborhood.<br /><br />The original photographs come from the collection of Kathryn (Casey) Higgins (b. 1882). She is credited with the photography of much of the collection. The photos were provided to the library by the late J. Robert (Bob) Shouse, son of Elizabeth Higgins and V. Allen Shouse, and grandson of Kathryn.<br /><br />The Higgins family has lived in Portsmouth since the early 1900s when Dr. Martin Andrew Higgins (1883-1953) moved to Pleasant Street and began work as a physician and surgeon. Dr. Higgins was born in 1883 in Somersworth, New Hampshire to Andrew Higgins and Bridget Hanagan. He received his education at the University of Maryland Medical School. On July 12, 1913, Dr. Higgins married Kathryn Casey in Amesbury, Massachusetts, where Kathryn’s family lived. Her parents were Patrick Casey and Mary Burke, both immigrants from Northern Ireland. Kathryn and Dr. Higgins moved into 249 Pleasant Street in Portsmouth, a house that was built in 1900. It was here that they would raise their two daughters, Margaret “Peggy” (Higgins) Haid (1918-2012) and Elizabeth Martina “Betty” (Higgins) Shouse (1920-1997), and where Elizabeth and her husband Veazey Allen Shouse (1920-2002) would stay and raise their ten children. Both Peggy and Betty are the subjects of many of the photos. <br /><br />Also prominently featured in the photos is Delia “Dede” (Casey) Hassett (1868-1960), Kathryn’s sister. Delia was married to Joseph Martin Hassett (1869-1925), proprietor of Hassett’s Music and Art Shoppe located at 115 Congress Street. Joseph and Delia had three children – Ruth Hassett DeCourcy, Loretta Hassett Slawson, and John “Jack” Hassett, who can all be seen in several of the images. <br /><br />The digital images in this collection are for public viewing only.

Title A name given to the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Collection Subject The topic of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Description An account of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1833, the son of a stage-driver turned innkeeper in Portsmouth. At the age of twenty, Barnabee moved to Boston, where he worked in the dry goods business while also pursuing acting and amateur singing. In 1859, he married Clara George of Portsmouth in Warner, New Hampshire, where her family originated. They made their home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. In 1865, Barnabee made his formal performance debut and began touring New England with a concert troupe. In 1878, he joined the Boston Ideals, a group formed to present Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, H.M.S Pinafore, though the Ideals would go on to perform other operettas. Barnabee and two other actors from the Boston Ideals formed the Bostonians in 1887. The latter group toured widely, making a number of transcontinental trips, until it finally disbanded in 1904. Its mainstay production was Smith and DeKoven’s comic opera, Robin Hood, in which Barnabee played the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Clara George Barnabee died in 1906, the year in which Barnabee’s career essentially ended. Henry Clay Barnabee published his autobiography, My Wanderings, in 1913 and died in 1917. According to the Library Trustee Meeting Minutes Volume, Dec. 1883 – Oct. 1939, page 62, meeting of September 24, 1907, the Henry Clay Barnabee Collection was offered to Portsmouth Public Library in September of 1907 by Barnabee himself. The Library Trustees accepted the gift and were to confer with Barnabee about his wishes for the collection. An article in the States and Union newspaper, September 9, 1909, leads one to wonder when the collection actually physically arrived at the Library. Plans were being made at that time to house the collection in a special room described in great detail in the article. Barnabee was working on an exhibition to be mounted in the Library in 1909. It is unclear from available materials if that exhibition ever materialized or if the collection was even on site at that time. The original collection was assembled between 1866 and 1906 by Henry Clay Barnabee and his wife, Clara George Barnabee. Some of the collection was reportedly transferred to the Lamb Club in New York City according to Hannah Fernald in 1943, as quoted in the Portsmouth Herald April 23, 1943. The current collection consists of approximately 10 linear feet of materials, including scrapbooks, photograph albums, loose photographs, musical scores, and books, as well as a small number of other loose items such as a large daguerreotype of a child (probably Barnabee) and two framed watercolors of Barnabee in costume. Most of the material dates from 1866-1906. There are a few items before and after that range, most notably the program from a testimonial held in Barnabee’s honor in Boston during March of 1907. It is arranged in eight series, outlined in a series-level finding aid. The collection was arranged by Woodard D. Openo, an Archives student in the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the time, in the fall of 1995. Library staff and Simmons College interns have been working on a detailed finding aid since spring of 2010. During the spring of 2014, the New England Archivists Community Outreach Project spent time indexing and scanning parts of the Barnabee collection. In 2018, funds from the Rosamond Thaxter Foundation were procured for the specific use of cleaning and rehousing items from Box Series II B. 1-9 and Box VII Libretto Series.

Title A name given to the resource Haven School Neighborhood Project Description An account of the resource Puddle Dock and the South End are the oldest neighborhoods in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which was settled in 1623. The first school building in Portsmouth was built and opened in 1713 and was located close to the site that would become the Haven School in 1846. When it opened, Haven School contained four graded schools: infant, primary, intermediate, and grammar. In 1969, Little Harbour School was built to replace Haven School. In 1978, the Haven School’s brick building was turned into condominiums. The Haven School Neighborhood consists of the South End and Puddle Dock areas. Strawbery Banke Museum now occupies the space once known as Puddle Dock. The Haven School Neighborhood is central to all that has happened in Portsmouth since its settlement. It is no exaggeration to say that the history of this neighborhood is at the core of the history of the entire city. Whether the focus is settlement, revolution, maritime activity, economic decline, revitalization, or even acculturation, the Haven School Neighborhood provides the core for study. Library staff have endeavored to make the Haven School Neighborhood Project public to increase access to this important collection and to the history of the neighborhood. The members of this community within a community, past and present, have a story to tell and the nature of that community has dramatically changed. The core of this collection was scanned from photo albums of historic images of people and places from Portsmouth’s South End; created from the history and stories contributed by the people who lived there. The subjects include the South End neighborhood, Puddle Dock neighborhood, and Haven School alumni and span the late-19th to mid-20th centuries. These photographs were gathered in 1982 as part of a reunion of the Puddle Dock area (also known as the Haven School neighborhood for the purposes of this project). Copies of the resulting photo albums were given to Portsmouth Public Library following the Reunion. Former residents have also generously contributed additional photographs and documents to our digital archive project. Comments have been, and continue to be, added via the commenting feature available with each image. This project was made possible by a group of volunteers from the Haven School Neighborhood. Special thanks to Sherm and Cathy Pridham who scanned the majority of these images and provided background information including names, dates, and locations. Images and memories will be added to the project as appropriate over time.

Neighborhoods Streets Photographs Description An account of the resource The Higgins Family Photograph Collection consists of over 300 digital images primarily taken in the late 1800s through the first half of the 20th century. The images capture the everyday moments as well as the celebratory occasions of a family living in Portsmouth’s South End neighborhood.<br /><br />The original photographs come from the collection of Kathryn (Casey) Higgins (b. 1882). She is credited with the photography of much of the collection. The photos were provided to the library by the late J. Robert (Bob) Shouse, son of Elizabeth Higgins and V. Allen Shouse, and grandson of Kathryn.<br /><br />The Higgins family has lived in Portsmouth since the early 1900s when Dr. Martin Andrew Higgins (1883-1953) moved to Pleasant Street and began work as a physician and surgeon. Dr. Higgins was born in 1883 in Somersworth, New Hampshire to Andrew Higgins and Bridget Hanagan. He received his education at the University of Maryland Medical School. On July 12, 1913, Dr. Higgins married Kathryn Casey in Amesbury, Massachusetts, where Kathryn’s family lived. Her parents were Patrick Casey and Mary Burke, both immigrants from Northern Ireland. Kathryn and Dr. Higgins moved into 249 Pleasant Street in Portsmouth, a house that was built in 1900. It was here that they would raise their two daughters, Margaret “Peggy” (Higgins) Haid (1918-2012) and Elizabeth Martina “Betty” (Higgins) Shouse (1920-1997), and where Elizabeth and her husband Veazey Allen Shouse (1920-2002) would stay and raise their ten children. Both Peggy and Betty are the subjects of many of the photos. <br /><br />Also prominently featured in the photos is Delia “Dede” (Casey) Hassett (1868-1960), Kathryn’s sister. Delia was married to Joseph Martin Hassett (1869-1925), proprietor of Hassett’s Music and Art Shoppe located at 115 Congress Street. Joseph and Delia had three children – Ruth Hassett DeCourcy, Loretta Hassett Slawson, and John “Jack” Hassett, who can all be seen in several of the images. <br /><br />The digital images in this collection are for public viewing only.
