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.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection of 19 original Christmas cards was created by artist and long-time Portsmouth resident Dorothy Sturgis Harding (1891-1978). These cards are part of a larger amalgamation of Harding memorabilia and were gifted to the Library by Portsmouth resident Joan Christy in January 2018.
The Dorothy Sturgis Harding Christmas Cards are drawn in pen and ink on card stock and were used for holiday greetings in years spanning 1947 through 1976. According to local residents, Harding's Christmas cards were highly prized and eagerly anticipated each year. They are immensely detailed and unique to this artist. Many depict Portsmouth area views; including the historic Martine Cottage, which was one of the Sturgis family homes.
Dorothy Margaret Sturgis was the daughter of Richard Clipston Sturgis and Esther Mary Ogden of Boston. R. Clipston Sturgis was the former President of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as well as a fellow of the American Institute of Architects. He built many well-known buildings in Boston including the Franklin Union Building, the Federal Reserve Bank Building, and the Massachusetts School for the Blind. He bought the Martine Cottage off Little Harbor Road in Portsmouth and used it as a hobby farm and summer home until he retired there in 1929.
Dorothy was born in Boston on July 28, 1891. Both she and her brother Richard Jr. followed the family tradition in the pursuit of art and architecture. Richard Jr. eventually became a prominent architect while Dorothy attended both the Winsor School and the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston. She also studied art under Frederick Hall of Harvard and with renowned illustrator Elizabeth Shippen Green Elliott.
In 1912, Dorothy married Lester Harding and spent most of the remainder of her life pursuing her career and family in Portsmouth. She was a popular bookplate designer, creating personal bookplates for many notable names, including Eleanor Roosevelt and Norman Rockwell. Dorothy and her husband contributed to the maintenance and administration of the Martine Cottage as a working farm and raised three children there. During World War II, Dorothy paid homage to her architectural legacy by enrolling in a certification course at the University of New Hampshire in engineering and drafting. She did so in order to work as a draftsman, drawing submarines for the Portsmouth Navy Yard.
Examples of Harding's bookplates can be seen in our Helen Pearson Bookplate Collection, including copies of the bookplates she designed for Roosevelt and her own famous father. Additional items relating to this family and to the Martine Cottage are available by visiting the Portsmouth Public Library Special Collections Room.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection of 19 original Christmas cards was created by artist and long-time Portsmouth resident Dorothy Sturgis Harding (1891-1978). These cards are part of a larger amalgamation of Harding memorabilia and were gifted to the Library by Portsmouth resident Joan Christy in January 2018.
The Dorothy Sturgis Harding Christmas Cards are drawn in pen and ink on card stock and were used for holiday greetings in years spanning 1947 through 1976. According to local residents, Harding's Christmas cards were highly prized and eagerly anticipated each year. They are immensely detailed and unique to this artist. Many depict Portsmouth area views; including the historic Martine Cottage, which was one of the Sturgis family homes.
Dorothy Margaret Sturgis was the daughter of Richard Clipston Sturgis and Esther Mary Ogden of Boston. R. Clipston Sturgis was the former President of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as well as a fellow of the American Institute of Architects. He built many well-known buildings in Boston including the Franklin Union Building, the Federal Reserve Bank Building, and the Massachusetts School for the Blind. He bought the Martine Cottage off Little Harbor Road in Portsmouth and used it as a hobby farm and summer home until he retired there in 1929.
Dorothy was born in Boston on July 28, 1891. Both she and her brother Richard Jr. followed the family tradition in the pursuit of art and architecture. Richard Jr. eventually became a prominent architect while Dorothy attended both the Winsor School and the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston. She also studied art under Frederick Hall of Harvard and with renowned illustrator Elizabeth Shippen Green Elliott.
In 1912, Dorothy married Lester Harding and spent most of the remainder of her life pursuing her career and family in Portsmouth. She was a popular bookplate designer, creating personal bookplates for many notable names, including Eleanor Roosevelt and Norman Rockwell. Dorothy and her husband contributed to the maintenance and administration of the Martine Cottage as a working farm and raised three children there. During World War II, Dorothy paid homage to her architectural legacy by enrolling in a certification course at the University of New Hampshire in engineering and drafting. She did so in order to work as a draftsman, drawing submarines for the Portsmouth Navy Yard.
Examples of Harding's bookplates can be seen in our Helen Pearson Bookplate Collection, including copies of the bookplates she designed for Roosevelt and her own famous father. Additional items relating to this family and to the Martine Cottage are available by visiting the Portsmouth Public Library Special Collections Room.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection of 19 original Christmas cards was created by artist and long-time Portsmouth resident Dorothy Sturgis Harding (1891-1978). These cards are part of a larger amalgamation of Harding memorabilia and were gifted to the Library by Portsmouth resident Joan Christy in January 2018.
The Dorothy Sturgis Harding Christmas Cards are drawn in pen and ink on card stock and were used for holiday greetings in years spanning 1947 through 1976. According to local residents, Harding's Christmas cards were highly prized and eagerly anticipated each year. They are immensely detailed and unique to this artist. Many depict Portsmouth area views; including the historic Martine Cottage, which was one of the Sturgis family homes.
Dorothy Margaret Sturgis was the daughter of Richard Clipston Sturgis and Esther Mary Ogden of Boston. R. Clipston Sturgis was the former President of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as well as a fellow of the American Institute of Architects. He built many well-known buildings in Boston including the Franklin Union Building, the Federal Reserve Bank Building, and the Massachusetts School for the Blind. He bought the Martine Cottage off Little Harbor Road in Portsmouth and used it as a hobby farm and summer home until he retired there in 1929.
Dorothy was born in Boston on July 28, 1891. Both she and her brother Richard Jr. followed the family tradition in the pursuit of art and architecture. Richard Jr. eventually became a prominent architect while Dorothy attended both the Winsor School and the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston. She also studied art under Frederick Hall of Harvard and with renowned illustrator Elizabeth Shippen Green Elliott.
In 1912, Dorothy married Lester Harding and spent most of the remainder of her life pursuing her career and family in Portsmouth. She was a popular bookplate designer, creating personal bookplates for many notable names, including Eleanor Roosevelt and Norman Rockwell. Dorothy and her husband contributed to the maintenance and administration of the Martine Cottage as a working farm and raised three children there. During World War II, Dorothy paid homage to her architectural legacy by enrolling in a certification course at the University of New Hampshire in engineering and drafting. She did so in order to work as a draftsman, drawing submarines for the Portsmouth Navy Yard.
Examples of Harding's bookplates can be seen in our Helen Pearson Bookplate Collection, including copies of the bookplates she designed for Roosevelt and her own famous father. Additional items relating to this family and to the Martine Cottage are available by visiting the Portsmouth Public Library Special Collections Room.

Description
An account of the resource
The items in this collection are part of Helen Pearson's portfolio of work that she created around the time she attended Cowles School of Art in Boston. Portsmouth Herald newspaper articles place her there in 1890, though some of her pieces are dated in the surrounding years.<br /><br />Many of the original pieces included in the portfolio are unfinished drawings and sketches. Pearson primarily used charcoal and graphite pencil. She continued to work with graphite throughout her career, most notably in her drawings for <em>Vignettes of Portsmouth</em>. For some of the works in the portfolio, Pearson used live models, but many of her drawings are of busts or statues, likely drawn from casts or other references. Other works collected in the portfolio include prints of pieces by Maxfield Parrish, William Roffe, and Jacques Lubin, among others, as well as an original painting by Boston artist C.E. Heil.<br /><br />Helen Pearson was born on November 13, 1870 to parents Amos and Susan Pearson. Amos Pearson was a florist and music teacher originally from Ipswich, MA. Susan E. (Miller) Pearson was an artist and musician from Portsmouth. Helen Pearson attended the Cowles School of Art in Boston sometime around 1890. She also trained as a concert pianist, playing with the Schenectady Symphony Orchestra in New York. In 1913, Pearson’s drawings were featured in <em>Vignettes of Portsmouth, New Hampshire</em>, a book she collaborated on with Harold Hotchkiss Bennett. She died on July 19, 1949 at her home on Broad Street in Portsmouth.<br /><br />This collection was gifted to the Portsmouth Public Library by Richard Candee in January 2020. It is permanently housed in the Portsmouth Public Library Special Collections. The digital images are available here for research and public viewing.<br /><br />More of Helen Pearson's work can be seen in <a href="https://portsmouthexhibits.org/collections/show/8">The Helen Pearson Drawings Collection</a>. Her <a href="https://portsmouthexhibits.org/collections/show/7">collection of bookplates</a> is also viewable and includes her own bookplate which features an original drawing of a meteor over Portsmouth.

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.

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.
