Metzler, Migratory Farm Workers in the Atlantic Coast Stream: A Study in the Belle Glade Area of Florida (Circular #966), U.S. Department of Agriculture, Jan. 1955. Description An account of the resource Map shows a somewhat idealized pattern of migrant farm labor on the east coast during the mid-twentieth century. As many as an estimated 58,000 workers in 1949 followed harvests northward. They were primarily Black, and worked in "areas of intensive vegetable and fruit production with high labor requirements" (4). In New York state, those crops usually were potatoes and apples. Seasonal migration declined along with the number of farms and a tendency for workers to remain year-round in a particular location.

Description An account of the resource This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources. First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years. Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or <a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digitized articles from local newspapers</a>. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project.

Title A name given to the resource Upland Cotton Production, 2019 Description An account of the resource Chart created by the US Department of Agriculture shows county-level production of the more widely grown "upland cotton" variety. Although much of the old "Cotton Kingdom" of the antebellum south still produces this commodity, Texas has supplanted them. In terms of volume it produces more cotton than the next three states--Georgia, Mississippi, and Arkansas--combined. Cotton is a very water-intensive crop, and so its cultivation in Texas presupposes massive irrigation.

By the early 1960s, the de-institutionalization movement presaged closure of the Craig Colony, and one consequence was the eventual use of those facilities for a new Groveland Correctional that opened in 1982. But even earlier, a 922-acre plot of that land--the Big Woods--was turned over to the NY Department of Environmental Conservation for management. Initially this took to form of access for deer hunters in 1972. Today, that agency still describes the land as offering "a rustic experience with a limited amount of development" This image draws from a portion of the 1972 USGS topographical map, with an approximate outline of the newly created Sonyea State Forest.

Title A name given to the resource New Deal Gallery Description An account of the resource This collection of more than 200 paintings owes its existence to two primary causes: allocations from the Federal Art Project to a New York state tuberculosis sanatorium located at Mt. Morris--the landscapes and still lifes were thought to be restful--and to the committed volunteers who helped preserve the paintings after the hospital closed. For several decades the canvases were stored in non-climate-controlled basements; it appears that doctors and staff removed at least three dozen works as "keepsakes." Despite the seeming tranquility of the paintings, they were created by artists primarily from New York City whose background was more political and aesthetically adventurous than this rural location would indicate. <a href="https://openvalley.org/exhibits/show/green-new-deal/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Follow this hyperlink to a short introduction to the New Deal Gallery collection</a>. We're grateful to the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts for access to their collection, which has been re-photographed and appears here at two resolutions: a cropped, web-friendly file size of around 1 MB; and a high-resolution file including the painting's frame. Items in this collection were created according to a consistent format: a short description of each painting in formal terms, followed by a biography of each artist. Where possible we have supplied hyperlinks relevant to their lives and to other examples of their art.

Title A name given to the resource Sun Worshipers Description An account of the resource Brilliant colors of red, white, green, and deep blues and purples stand out in this crown of flowers set against a monochrome backdrop. The flowers are supported via ceramic vase, as the flowers fawn out from the mouth of the vase; this whole arrangement supported by a small, light grey table that seems to blend the foreground into the background. The grey, monochromatic backdrop presents a calming effect as the eye is drawn to the bright flora. It is impossible to miss the South Western painted rooster that sits beside the vase, adding yet another element of character and culture to the piece. About the Author: Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Mary Monrad came from an artistic family. She studied at the Académie Julian with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Joseph_Benjamin-Constant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benjamin Constant</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Laurens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jean-Paul Laurens</a>, and with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Abbott_McNeill_Whistler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Whistler</a>. In 1906 she married Walter Ufer, a fellow painter, while both were living in Chicago. Thereafter her life was a struggle due to family finances, his alcoholism-fueled anger, and gender norms that forced her into a role supporting her husband. In 1914 the two moved to Taos, NM, and became influential figures in its nascent artists colony. In order to make ends meet she gave art lectures across the country, becoming a sought-after speaker and promoting the work of Taos artists. She was teaching art classes for the WPA art classes in Minneapolis, MN when her husband died in 1936; moving to New York forced her from the New Mexico relief rolls, and in New York she had trouble securing support because she was over 65 years of age. It is the state’s good fortune that eventually Federal Art Project support was granted. 1 work at the <a href="http://www.harwoodmuseum.org/exhibitions/view/200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harwood Museum</a>. 11 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-23-folder-16" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FAP</a>.
