Changing Times
What a difference these years have made!
Two years ago, we were standing in hard
hats in the former Narragansett Electric
plant in downtown Providence, exploring it as a new site for the Haffenreffer
Museum. Today, plans for the former
Electric plant are, as they say, history, and
the main museum in Bristol is closed to
the public and being converted to storage. How did we get to this point?
To answer this question, we have to turn
the clock back several years. Following
the tragic Station Nightclub fire in 2002,
Rhode Island re-thought fire safety standards and enforcement. In 2007, the
town of Bristol determined that the Museum was sub-standard in fire suppression, fire alarm, and ADA requirements
and that Brown would have to make
changes or close to the public. The Museum was proving deficient in another
important way: we had an outbreak of
mold in an over-packed storage area
that was going to be costly to remediate.

Midsummer at Mount Hope in Bristol, Rhode Island

The upshot: like their predecessors, President Ruth Simmons and Provost David
Kertzer decided that it made little sense
to invest in a physical plant 18 miles distant from students and revived the plan
to move the Museum to as near main
campus as possible. The last iteration
of this plan the planned move to the
former Old Stone Bank on South Main
Street in Providence had collapsed
in the change from the Gregorian to the
Gee administrations.
Hence the hardhats in the former Electric plant, another external evaluation of
the Museum, more rounds of meetings,
and once again hope that the University
would at long last step up to the plate to
acknowledge the import of the gift by
the Haffenreffer family, in 1955, of the
Museum, its collections, and hundreds of
acres of land known as the Mount Hope
Grant in Bristol.
But none of us planned for the Bear Market. Over months, as the full impact of

global recession was becoming clear, we

met with Browns central administration,
Facilities Management, Public Health
and Safety, and other departments as
we considered and rejected a series of
plans. First to come and go was the former Electric plant. Next was a building in
Providences jewelry district. Third was
space in a gigantic warehouse in Cranston. Fourth was another storage site in
town. Finally we were back at the Mount
Hope Grant and contemplating a series
of budgets, each slimmer than the preceding as budgets crashed at Brown,
hiring was paused, and positions disappeared.
And that is where we are today. In August, 2008 the Museum in Bristol closed
to the public. Only the staff remain,
thanks to new fire alarm systems. We are
hard at work cleaning out spaces no longer habitable (because deemed dangerous) and relocating collections. We are
now completing the conversion of galleries into storage; overseeing the instalcontinued on page 3

Volume 36, 1-2

Dear Friends,
As you can see from the lead story in this issue of Contexts, we have had a rough ride.
Or, for those who recall the project to move the Museum halted in its tracks in the
1990s, after a change in administration, another rough ride. They seem to be the lot of
the Museum at Brown, where progress most often is measured in millimeters.

Friends Board
Jeffrey Schreck, President

We started to write this issue long ago but repeatedly delayed its completion because
we wanted to say something definitive and our lot kept changing. At last we know
where we stand; as with most tales, theres some good news and some bad news.

Susan Hardy, Vice President

Diana Johnson, Treasurer
Andrew Davis, Secretary

In a nutshell, ever since the town of Bristol, Rhode Island, issued an ultimatum to
Brown to bring the Museum into line with changing fire codes tightened in the
wake of the tragic Station Fire and Brown responded by saying No, we have been
on a roller coaster. Brown decided instead to revive the idea to move the Museum.
Twenty months ago we thought we knew what was going to happen: we were headed
for Dynamo House, the former power plant in downtown Providence. But then the
recession deepened and, as its full impact on Brown worsened, so did our fate. Dynamo
was off the plate, and we then were asked to consider warehousing the collection
and housing the staff in a building in the jewelry district, then in Cranston, then in a
third site near Providence. Finally we retreated to the Mount Hope Grant, our home
for over half a century. With some changes the fire marshal approved the buildings as
warehouses but banned the public from the premises.

In all our recommendations we have privileged, to the extent possible, preservation

and safety of the collections. Indeed, in converting the Mount Hope Grant to storage
with HVAC, we have emphasized to despondent friends who recall the old place,
Just think like an artifact. Theyre saying whoopee!. They the objects are of
incalculable value and await the day when Brown can get its act in gear. We have
lost our on-site education programs including their revenues but are throwing
energy into re-imagined outreach programs. We still have Manning Hall on the main
green on campus a 2,000 square foot gallery for exhibitions. Our staff remains small
and because we have been drawn off on seeking solutions to our problems, we have
not been able to offer the seminars that result in exhibitions. Nevertheless, we have
figured out a way to involve at least one graduate student, Casey Mesick, in the key
role in a new exhibit on New World antiquities that will open in Manning in May 2010.
It will replace Believing Africa, an exhibit that has had a good run and received an
excellent review in African Arts. Finally we continue to attract appreciative audiences
to programs and events offered at various locales on campus.

lation of HVAC equipment in both main
buildings to reduce temperature and
humidity fluctuations; converting the
garage into space for Manning Hall exhibition development; and have attached,
to the main museum, a temporary trailer for photographing, processing, and
mitigating mold-infected artifacts. Our
only relief is that we hope not to have to
move collections twice from Bristol to
temporary storage, and from there to a
permanent new home, when the economy improves.
By July 2010, we expect the Museums
collections to be better protected and
more efficiently stored and catalogued.
This will improve our ability to support
research and exhibitions. And we hope to
go digital to make collections maximally
accessible through the internet to
scholars, collectors, and students.
As we redirect our focus inward, we
will not forget the campus or the larger
public. As for the first, Manning Hall
remains our showcase for the collections.
Despite the need for full involvement of
our staff in what we call The Project
of converting a museum to a storage
site, we will open a new exhibition on
New World antiquities in May 2010.
The lead curator is a graduate student
in anthropology. As for the latter, while
on-site education programs are no
longer possible in Bristol, education staff
are redirecting energy into a retooled
outreach program for schools.
We remain confident that our efforts will
position the Museum to take advantage
of whatever the fates have in store. Only
time will tell what that might be.

Research
Thinking About Things: An Artifacts Biography
It is rare, in anthropological museums,
to be able to connect objects to their
makers or their original owners. From
the antiquity of archaeological specimens to the suppression of information
about artists in the ethnographic arts
market, the reasons for museum specimens anonymity are myriad. Yet, sometimes objects
help us to find their owners,
their makers motives, and
their movements. A humble
wooden box in the Haffenreffer Museums collections,
carved from a single piece
of birch and lacking its lid,
is one such. Dwight Heath,
emeritus professor of anthropology at Brown University, and his wife, Anna
Cooper Heath, purchased the box from
a Danish antiques dealer in 1970 and donated it to the Museum in 2002. Identified by the antiques dealer as a salt box,
perhaps from Iceland, it entered the Museums records as such.
This year, the Museums deputy director, Kevin Smith, re-examined the box
after spending time in the collections of
the National Museum of Iceland at the
end of an NSF-sponsored excavation.
He determined that it was an Icelandic
needle case (prjnastokkur) decorated
in a style dating to the early 19th century. Chip-carved decoration along both
long sides, at first seemingly geometric,

hides an inscription as humble as the

box itself in block-letters called hfaletrar. Although one side is badly damaged, enough remains to read: GURUN
ORODSDOTTR | PRJONASTOK INN
Gurn Throddsdttir, [this is] your
needle case.

Knitting needle cases were objects

linked not only to household production
but also to the intimate relationships
between men and women on Icelandic
farms. Knitting, introduced to Iceland in
the 16th century, was an essential part
of womens daily routines by the early
1800s and boxes for knitting needles
were found in every household. However, like other intimate objects owned
by individual women rather than by the
household, they became objects upon
which considerable effort was expended
and to which great emotional attachment was given. Men generally carved
needle cases while courting to demonstrate their intentions, skill, and affection

Spirits of the Air Takes Flight

Shepard Krech IIIs most recent book,
Spirits of the Air: Birds and American Indians in the South (University of Georgia
Press, 2009), is the first major synthesis
of the neglected relationship between
birds and North American Indians. On
the American Southeast, Spirits of the
Air details how Native people incorporated birds in diet and material culture,
as well as how birds figured in politics,
war, religion, myth, ceremony, and incantations for good or malevolent ends.
Spirits of the Air was lauded in advance
4

notices by historians, anthropologists

and environmental historians as superbly researched (Raymond Fogelson)
and insightful (Carolyn Merchant) and
by field ornithologists as a wonderful
surprise (Donald and Lillian Stokes) and
a landmark work (Kenn Kaufman). In
2010, Spirits of the Air received the Southern Anthropological Societys James
Mooney Award for the best book written
on the South from an anthropological
perspective.

for the women they loved. If accepted, a

woman made it clear that she was also
accepting the carver, himself. Women
normally kept these tokens of devotion
safely, used them daily, and passed them
on to their daughters.
Who was Gurn roddsdttir? Of just
nine women with this name in Icelandic
censuses from 1703-1870,
only two were married during the period when this
box was made. One of these
women was born in 1777,
married in 1799, and lived
as a housewife raising at
least seven children on a
series of small farms in Icelands southern plains. The
other, born in 1782, married her husband, Gsli Gumundsson, around 1806.
Together, they lived in a mountainous
district northeast of Reykjavk, where he
became a local leader. She was a respectable married housewife who ran a small
farm and raised six children. She never
moved from the valley where she was
born and the census records are silent
about her death.
One of these two women was almost
certainly the owner of our prjnastokkur,
but how did it arrive in a Danish antique
shop? The 19th century was a difficult
time in Iceland, during which many small
farmers emigrated. Some settled in Canada, many near Ottawa or in Manitoba,
where Icelandic newspapers are printed
to the present day. Others moved to
Europe, especially to Denmark, which
had ruled Iceland since 1389. The same
ships that carried Icelanders from their
homes also brought wealthy European
adventure tourists to Iceland and many
returned with souvenirs they purchased
at farms or from Reykjavks merchants.
Whether carried abroad by Icelandic
emigrants or carried away by Danish
tourists, the Haffenreffers needle case
expresses a humble tale of love and devotion in a world of upheaval and globalization that touched even this distant
corner of the world and scattered its
people and things distantly even, surprisingly, to Bristol, RI.

Views to Remember
The Haffenreffers Inuksuk
In October 2007, Peter Irniq, Inuit elder, artist
and former Nunavut Crown Commissioner
built a lasting monument, an Inuksuk, on the
Museums grounds in Bristol. For centuries,
Inuit built stone inuksuit (pl.) across the Arctic
as hunting and navigation aids, coordination
points, and markers for places with sacred or
memorial roles in the cultural landscape. In
recent years, inuksuit have become symbols
of indigenous rights and survival, especially
in Canada, where they stand at the center of
the flag of Nunavut the first indigenous selfgoverned state or province in the Americas
and stand for Canada, itself, as the emblem
of the 2010 Winter Olympics. As a young
man, Peter Irniq built inuksuit near his home
community of Repulse Bay and learned from
his elders the meanings of the many different
types of these stone sentinels. As an elder
himself, he has built inuksuit for the Canadian
Museum of Civilisation, the Heard Museum,
the Field Museum, Dartmouths Hood Museum
and now the Haffenreffer Museum.
For the Haffenreffers inuksuk, Peter Irniq chose
stones from the foreshore and slopes of Mount
Hope to recall the significance of the land and
sea, high peaks and watery foreshores to New
Englands indigenous people. Stones from a
prehistoric Wampanoag hearth, a 19th century
field wall, and even one of the Haffenreffer
Museums exhibits recall those who have lived
and cared for this land from earliest times to
the present. This inuksuk, grounded in the
land and history of Mount Hope, reflects
the many threads that came together here,
and stands beside the Museum today with
a smaller counterpart. Peter Irniq positioned
our inuksuk so that one sees through its
window the summit of Mount Hope to the
southwest and the site of the first fighting in
King Philips War to the northeast. Although
it is a memorial to the past, created as a
representation of indigenous sovereignty and
survival, he stressed that he intended it also
to be a reminder that a globally shared future,
with justice for all people, is built on hope and
concern for connections to the physical world
around us, as well as an understanding of the
past upon which we stand, together.

Education
Culture CaraVan Charts a New Course
for the Museums Education Program
For years, the Haffenreffer Museums
schools programs included both on-site
offerings that brought children to our
base in Bristol and outreach programs
that took our collections into the schools.
Our emphases on these approaches
shifted regularly in response to our own
abilities to handle school groups on-site
and to schools ever-shifting needs and
priorities. With the museums buildings
in Bristol now closed to the public and
schools facing recessionary cuts, our
education programs have shifted to an
exclusive focus on outreach programs.
Our newly expanded Culture CaraVan
takes hands-on learning experiences
directly into the classroom. Schools,
senior centers, afterschool programs, and
community groups choose from eight
programs built on solid anthropological
foundations and using objects from
our Education Programs extensive
collections. Four programs exploit the
Museums traditional strengths in the
indigenous cultures of New England, the
Plains, the Southwest, and arctic Alaska.
Two draw on methods of archaeological
and cultural anthropological enquiry to
guide students toward appreciations for
the human past and cultural diversity.
Two new programs rolled into schools
this year. One, Indigenous People of Central
America, developed in part by Met High
School intern Kaitlynn Dulude, charts the
experiences and cultures of indigenous
Central American people from their
roles in building vast Pre-Columbian

civilizations to their contemporary

challenges and opportunities within
New England communities. The
second, Sankofa: African Americans in
Rhode Island, initiated by Linda AVantDeishinni, examines the cultures of West
Africa, the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the
experiences of enslaved Africans in New
England, Rhode Islanders roles in ending
slavery, and African American lives in
New England today.
Making the shift to off-site programs
could not have been accomplished
without reorganization and generous
support
from
students,
Brown
Universitys administration, and external
foundations. In 2008, Brown Universitys
Office of the President generously
provided scholarships for 1400 third
through eighth grade students from
under-funded schools in Providence,
allowing them to participate in programs
that had been beyond their reach in
Bristol. Many of those students teachers
found Culture Connect: Experience the
Cultures of the World (previously rarely
booked) to be an important springboard
for discussions of cultural tolerance
in the classroom. Building on those
experiences, Culture Connect became a
regular Culture CaraVan offering and a
template for relevance.
In 2009, we purchased a new van with
support from the FAO Schwarz Family
Fund and the Haffenreffer Family Fund
that ensures our ability to take Culture

CaraVan on the road throughout Rhode

Island and adjacent Massachusetts. We
were also given a satellite base in the
Anthropology Departments Giddings
House that makes it easier to service the
Providence community and to integrate
Brown University students into outreach
programs. Students from Brown and
beyond are already actively engaged in
Culture CaraVan. Jason Urbanus (Ph.D.
candidate, Joukowsky Institute for
Archaeology and the Ancient World),
Emma Maines (Brown, Anthropology,
2010), Katie Meyers (Brown, English,
2010), Katie Perdue (Providence College,
Anthropology), and high school
students Cara Boyd, Alison Bryant, John
Mack, and Lisa Mangiarelli helped in the
schools or assisted in developing lesson
plans that will soon be available on-line
for teachers.
How has it worked? By bucking
recessionary budgets affecting schools
abilities to pay for field trips or to
dedicate teachers time outside the
classroom, Culture CaraVan serves the
needs of an increasing number of public
and private schools by providing quality
programs at rates lower than it had
cost to bus students to Bristol. Teachers
responses have been extremely
positive. In conversations and in written
evaluations we hear such expressions
as, The interactive experience was
incredibly valuable. The Culture CaraVan
was outstanding! and [I] was uncertain
about not going to the museum and not
getting the same kind of experience, but
we did! Teachers who counted on us
for years now book the classroom-based
program while teachers in distant school
districts who previously could not come
to the Museum have added us to their
curriculum. Keep your eyes open for
our new van, as Culture CaraVan treks to
schools near you!

Programs
Programs Going Strong
During the 2008 and 2009 academic
years, programs in Bristol and on the
Brown University campus spanned the
globe, bringing top scholars to Brown to
explore cutting edge issues in archaeology, anthropology, and museum studies.
Family programs, hands-on workshops,
public performances, and thought-provoking lectures gave visitors of all ages
and interests new perspectives on their world and its
cultural diversity.
Doran Ross, director emeritus
of UCLAs Fowler Museum, the
24th Jane Powell Dwyer lecturer, kicked off the 2008 academic year with The Tongue
is Sharper than the Sword:
Oratory and Art among the
Akan of Ghana, and in October, Peter Irniq, Canadian Inuit leader
and artist, presented An Inuit Perspective
on Global Climate Change and created an
inuksuk in Bristol for the Barbara Greenwald Memorial Arts Program (see side
bar, p.5). Martin Gallivan, of the College
of William and Mary, discussed Archaeological Investigations at Werowocomoco,
Capital of the Powhatan Chiefdom and a
week later we celebrated our 6th annual
Honoring the Harvest celebration in Bristol with members of the Pokanoket tribe.
Finally, in December, Kate Chadbourne,
of Harvard Universitys Department of
Celtic Languages and Literature, sang in
the holiday season at Mount Hope with
White Horses in the Dark: Winter Solstice
Traditions in Ireland and Britain.
In the spring of 2008, Jessie Little Doe
Baird (Mashpee-Wampanoag Tribe) discussed work underway with MIT to rebuild and revitalize the Wampanoag language in The Language of the Land: From
Assimilation to Reclamation. The 2008
Edward G. and Barbara A. Hail Lecture
brought Janet Berlo of the University of
Rochester to Brown University to query
the probity of the art world in NOT Native American: Falsifications, Misrepresentations and Vexed Identities in the Field of
Native American Art. Returning to Africa,
Konrad Tuchscherer of St. Johns Univer-

sity examined the histories of little-known

writing systems across
sub-Saharan Africa in
Treasures of the Hidden
Chest. We rounded out
the year with three days
of family programs,
including a beading
workshop led by Elizabeth Hoover, and
by hosting Rhode Islands Archaeology
Day in Bristol.
In the fall of 2008, Russell Thornton
(UCLA) explored the progress, promise,
and moral premises of repatriation in
Repatriation and Healing the Trauma of
Native American History. Lecturers and
film-makers Dale and Doug Miles (San
Carlos Apache) presented The Apaches
and the Borderlands Conflict and a film,
Apachelypse Now, to examine burning issues in contemporary Apache communities. Our 7th annual Honoring the Harvest
celebration took place in Bristol and Kate
Chadbourne returned, this time to Manning Hall, to reprise White Horses in the
Dark for a standing-room-only crowd.

2009 Jane Dwyer Memorial

Lecture: Mystical Graffiti and the
Refabulation of Dakar. Shepard
Krech III filled Manning Hall as
he discussed his most recent
book, Spirits of the Air: Birds and
American Indians in the South,
and Colleen Cutschall (Brandon
University) and Emil Her Many
Horses (National Museum of the
American Indian), the Edward
G. and Barbara A. Hail lecturers
for 2009, discussed their exhibition Identity by Design: Tradition,
Change, and Celebration in Native American Womens Dresses. In addition, families
came to work with local artist Christine
Teper Charest in pysanky workshops during school vacation week and we hosted
a performance by Brown University students, working under the direction of
Michelle Bach-Coulibalys New Works/
World Traditions dance troupe, focused
on public health issues in Mali.
In coming years we will continue to
work with students and faculty to ensure that our programs and speakers
serve the campus well, while bringing
new perspectives to the public and our
Friends. Although our buildings in Bristol
are closed to the public, we hope to explore creative opportunities for outdoor
events suited to that venue. Come and
join us throughout the year. We look forward to seeing you!

In early 2009, Winter Fun enticed families to come to Manning Hall and RISDs
Bolaji Campbell surveyed African Masking Traditions: Meaning, Motif, and History from art historical, anthropological, and African perspectives. The ECHO

Exhibitions
Believing Africa Closes After
Breaking Attendance Records
Believing Africa, the Haffenreffers acclaimed exhibition, closed its two-and-a-half year
run on December 23rd, 2009, having been seen by nearly 27,000 people. Believing
Africa, which opened in Manning Hall during Commencement Weekend, 2006, was
the product of Brown University and RISD students, working with faculty and museum
staff to examine inter-relationships between religious experience, daily life, politics,
and overlapping faiths, today and in the past across the African continent. Glowingly
reviewed by African Arts magazine, Believing Africa attracted visitors from around the
world, served seminars from six regional universities, and formed the basis for graduate
and undergraduate papers in anthropology, public humanities, and other disciplines.

Facing Mesoamerica
On September 28, 2007, Facing Mesoamerica opened to the public in a newly
redesigned gallery on the Mount Hope campus in Bristol, RI. Facing Mesoamerica
brought together representations of human faces and bodies in stone, ceramic, shell,
and jade from the Haffenreffers collections to provide a personalized introduction
to the Pre-Columbian cultures of Central America and to challenge prevailing ideas
about the function and meaning of the portrait. Facing Mesoamerica also explored
the current state of Mesoamerican archaeology, considered ethical challenges faced
by collectors and museum professionals in working with Pre-Columbian collections,
and delved into the logistical challenges and cutting-edge research questions
that drive scholarship at Brown on the Pre-Columbian past. Facing Mesoamerica, a
favorite with visitors, closed to the public on August 30, 2008.

Dancing Tradition, Masking Change

Dancing Tradition, Masking Change the second of the Haffenreffers Central American
exhibitions mounted during Browns Year of Focus on Latin America opened on
April 23rd, 2008 in Bristol, RI, and ended its run on August 30th, 2008, when the
galleries at Mount Hope closed. Dancing Tradition, Masking Change, curated by Brown
University student Allison Pappas (Anthropology, 2008) used a stunning collection of
recently donated 18th-19th century masks from Guatemala to reveal contradictions
and opportunities in masked dances, rooted in Pre-Columbian ritual but veiled within

Maya communities. Focusing on the Dance of the Spaniards and the Moors, Dancing
Tradition, Masking Change examined alternate endings and variable readings of the
dances central characters that reconfigure traditional identities and enmities while
allowing cultural tensions to be expressed in the code of the dance.

Reimagining the Americas Opens May 29

Reimagining the Americas, the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropologys newest exhibit,
brings together innovative anthropological ideas and evocative artifacts from the
Amazon to the Arctic to plumb the cultural diversity of the Americas before European
contact and explore the forgotten histories of its indigenous people. Building on
recent discoveries and methods developed by archaeologists and anthropologists
over the past decades, Reimagining the Americas will use cutting-edge perspectives
to illustrate intriguing, often complex, histories through artifacts of ceramic and
stone, jade and gold, bone and textiles that illuminate the past and expose themes
that resonate with present and future concerns. From the arrival of humans in the
Americas to the rediscovery of ancient Amazonian cultures and the deciphering of
lost histories written by the Maya and Aztec, Reimagining the Americas challenges us
to rethink the past and to recognize 13,000 years of indigenous achievements before
Europe looked to the west.

Staff News
Geralyn Hoffman joined
the Haffenreffer Museums staff as Curator for
Programs and Education
in July, 2007, succeeding
Keni Sturgeon in the position when she became
Deputy Director for the Mission Mill Museum in Salem, Oregon. Geralyn came to
us from the San Diego Museum of Mans
Education Department. A New Englander by birth, Geralyn brings with her
a background in archaeology, collaborative programming with Native American
communities, and museum education.

Jennifer Trunzo, the Museums guard and greeter

at Manning Hall for several years, completed
her Ph.D. through Brown
Universitys Anthropology department and is
now Assistant Professor
of Anthropology at Augusta State University.
Anthony Belz followed
Jennifer in Manning Hall
and has been welcoming our visitors there ever
since.

Sarah Philbrick has

worked with the Museum on exhibitions and
other projects since the
hectic days of Believing
Africas installation. A
graduate of RISD, a photographer of exceptional talent, and a
graphic designer, she has filled the Museums Digital Access Coordinator position since Elizabeth Cooper moved on
to the corporate world in June, 2008.

The Museum has been

lucky to attract a sterling
cadre of interns over the
past years. Katie Dulude,
a high school student at
Providences MET school,
assisted the Education
Program for two years and helped to
author the curriculum for the Museums

Casey ODonnell, one of

the most familiar faces at
the Bristol base for many
visitors, moved from his
position of Head Guard/
Greeter to manage the
Museums shop and support its office when Rayne Baer moved
on to oversee the shop at the Providence
Childrens Museum. With the closure of
the Museums galleries in Bristol, Casey
worked in the main office until the siren
song of jurisprudence called to him. He
is now pursuing a degree in law at Roger
Williams University.
Linda Avant-Deishinni
led the Museums outreach programs and
coordinated school programs and our docent
corps until schools cut
back their discretionary
spending for school visits and outreach
budgets during the recession of 20082009. She is deeply missed.

new outreach program

Indigenous Peoples of
Central America. Amy
Smith (URI Anthropology, 2009) and Nina Hellebrekers (MET school
and Utrecht University)
are cataloging and sorting the Museums archaeological collections
from New England, with
an eye toward developing local exhibits.
Robert Gordon-Fogelson (Brown) and Nathan
Arndt (URI) are assisting
curatorial staff in rehousing, inventorying and
caring for the collections.
Daily, their efforts are
improving access to our
collections, which have
never looked so good!

The Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology would like to acknowledge the hard work and
dedication demonstrated by our docent volunteers for forty years. This photo was taken at
the summer 2008 recognition luncheon. Docents were presented with Presidential Service
Awards, through a Federal recognition program. Standing from left to right are: Elizabeth
Johnson (5 years, Bronze Award); Donna Edmonds Mitchell (1 year); Elaine Gennari (1 year);
Mags Strain; Kathy Silvia (9 years, Bronze Award); Sharon Hayden (5 years, Bronze Award);
Kay Hughes (11 years, Bronze Award); Monique Chaffa (5 years, Bronze Award); Terry Francis (15 years, Silver Award); Shelly Shatkin (5 years, Bronze Award); Frances Amanna (1 year);
Nancy Regan (1 year). Seated from left to right: Geralyn Hoffman (Curator of Programs
and Education); Linda Avant-Deishinni (Education Specialist); Bernadette Pace (1 year); Ray
Richard (9 years, Silver Award, and also received an Outstanding Volunteer Award from the
Volunteer Center of Rhode Island); and Walter Smith (1 year). Not pictured are Michelle
Casalegno (1 year); Nancie Merlino (4 years, Bronze Award); and Henry Schwarz (3 years,
Silver Award). Although school programs no longer come to Bristol, docents continue to
work with the Education program on various projects.

In Memoriam
The Museum and the Friends Board note with great sadness the passing of Charles J. (Jack) Cooper, a long-time friend of the Museum, after
prolonged illness, in November 2009. Jack and his wife Sally Cooper, an
emerita Brown Corporation member, were staunch supporters of the
Museums planned move to the Old Stone Bank in the late 1990s. Over
the years they have been consistent supporters of the Edward G. and
Barbara A. Hail Lecture Fund and, although living distantly from Providence, have remained constant advocates for the Museum, its programs,
its collections, and its role on the Brown University campus.

Your memberships support the Museums programs and activities.

We look forwad to seeing you at our events!
