Go home beer chart, you’re drunk.
We recently digitized a handful of beer and brewery-related books, including Twenty-five years of brewing, with an illustrated history of American beer, dedicated to the friends of George Ehret (1891) by George Ehret.
It’s Beer Lover’s Day, and we take our beer history very seriously here at the Smithsonian. Check out @amhistorymuseum‘s American Brewing History Initiative for example. And since the Smithsonian Libraries supports the research done at the Smithsonian, you can find a lot of beer-related material in our collections.
From Twenty-five years of brewing, here’s an illustration of Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch director-general of the colony of New Netherlands inspecting a tavern in what is now New York:
James Steel’s Selection of the practical points of malting and brewing (1881) includes nine foldouts with great illustrations:
And the age-old conundrum – what to do about malt liquor? Essays on the Malt Liquor Question from the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial World’s Fair expounds. The presence of a brewer’s exhibition shows the importance brewing held in America as a source of innovation and pride.
Finally, who can resist a good beer pun? (Could those others include…yeast?) But on a serious note, New Fields for Brewers (1917) by Carl Alfred Nowak is a snapshot of the period right before the 18th Amendment ushering in prohibition was ratified. The anxieties of what the brewing industry would face in a dry country were plainly evident. Indeed, prohibition did profoundly change the brewing industry.
Lookit the manitee nostrils!! Just cruising down a little river/marsh in Florida.
BIG STUFF
This large plan for a ship’s hull is currently under treatment in the conservation lab. The ship was a WWII vessel. The plan shows updates for modernization in the 1950’s. The plan had been stored rolled, and the end that was outermost is damaged. The tears and breaks will be mended and the plan will be digitized for access by researchers, then rolled onto an archival quality tube for permanent storage.

Cool Chicks from History Missing from Wikipedia: June 2016
Every few months, Cool Chicks from History puts together a list of women missing from Wikipedia. Wikipedia is often the first source people check when looking for information, but Wikipedia has a documented gender problem (NYT 2011, Atlantic 2015, Smithsonian Mag 2016). More men than women edit Wikipedia and that leads to a imbalance in what topics are included and how detailed the entries are.
“Why don’t you just write the articles then, Cool Chicks from History? Why do you try to crowdsource it?” Well, mostly because it takes about as much time to write this list as it does to write a single detailed new Wikipedia entry. Also crowdsourcing encourages more people to participate in shaping Wikipedia.
Dozens of new articles have been created after a woman was listed as a Cool Chick from History Missing from Wikipedia. Some examples: Helen Octavia Dickens, Rosa Maria Hinojosa de Balli, Eunice Dennie Burr, Hazel Garland, Katharine Harley. This amazing list of first female physician by country was created after Cool Chicks from History asked the mysterious Wikipedia editors out there to create one. That is a great resource that didn’t exist before. In April, a list of first female lawyers by country was created by a tumblr user.
If you are interested in learning how to edit Wikipedia articles, there is a tutorial here. There is also a place for friendly Wikipedia help here.

It’s International Kissing Day, thus a post on Neapolitan hand gestures.(amiright?!)
Find them in the first Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, 1879-1880, in a section “Sign Language Among North American Indians Compared with That Among Other Peoples and Deaf-Mutes” by Garrick Mallery. The whole series is in the Biodiversity Heritage Library, accessible to anyone (though if you have feedback, try the webform and not a Neapolitan hand gesture…)

The news that a legendary turtle in Hanoi’s central lake had died prompted an outpouring of sadness across the deeply superstitious and Confucian country.
“Cu Rua’s death was a loss for biological history as well. It was one of the last of the Yangtze giant soft-shell turtles, species Rafetus swinhoei, which now has just three known specimens.“
Oh hey, happy new year!
It's windy. The palm trees are a-swinging.
Estimates for the capacity of the old shelves at the library have ranged widely, and critics are skeptical of a new 2.5 million figure.
Denise Hibay, the head of collection development for the library, said: “We know ideal preservation conditions for books are cool temperatures and relatively low humidity. These best preservation practices for long-term storage have evolved over the past 100 years, since the central stacks were first built.”

Noon
I got yelled at for pulling a book out. I need to wear a shirt that says "It's cool, I'm a preservation librarian. I know how to touch stuff" (at Stony Island Arts Bank)
