RE/Search: Submissions and Proposals Part 2

By Library Staff on Tue, 2017-01-24 16:25

Blog post by Jesse Siragan Arlen, CFPRT Scholar

Third in a series of blog posts chronicling finds in the V. Vale Collection, currently being processed in the Center for Primary Research and Training (CFPRT) in Library Special Collections.

In a previous blog post, we introduced the approximately 500 unsolicited submissions and proposals sent to RE/Search between the years 1980-2010, and included samples of full typescript book submissions. Below are samples of a number of other types of submissions and proposals contained in the collection.

In Remembrance of Martha Graham’s “American Document” 1938

By Caroline Cubé on Thu, 2017-01-19 11:48

blog post by Genie Guerard

As described by Graham in an interview at the time, “This dance is supposed to bring back to its full meaning what has largely become meaningless in America through familiarity. I refer to such a word as democracy that reminds us of rights we have but may not avail ourselves of. As the line goes in the script of the dance, 'We forget too much.'"

Three women dance throughout the following lines:

Listen to what we say.

We are three women.

We are three million women.

We are the mothers of the hungry dead.

We are the mothers of the hungry living.

We are the mothers of those to be born.

Listen to what we say.

Ours is a lament for the living.

The UCLA Library Special Collections holds the complete photographic archive of Barbara Morgan, and the personal papers of Barbara and her husband, Willard Morgan.
