By Evan Boxer-Cook, 2025 Summer intern at the Osher Map Library. 

Evan is a student of Classical & Medieval Studies at Bates College, with a career focus on the history of science and the study of scientific instruments. At the OML, Evan’s research focuses on previously uncatalogued instruments, including demonstrational models such as the Trippensee Planetarium.

The Osher Map Library’s Trippensee Planetarium stands on a ridged brass base containing ringed labels for the calendar months, signs of the zodiac, and seasons. Above this is mounted a wooden maple structure supporting the Sun, Venus, Earth, and Moon, along with the gears and chains regulating their motions. Both Venus and the Moon are simple wooden spheres painted half black, half white in order to demonstrate the progression of their phases as seen from Earth. Earth itself is plastered with elaborately detailed and colored gores, with a simple cartouche reading “The Trippensee Mfg. Co., Detroit, Mich.” From the underside of the orrery’s arm protrudes a metal handle which is used to rotate the arm and thus set the entirety of the model in motion through its various chain drives.

While the bodies that make up the model presented by the Trippensee Planetarium in the collections of the Osher Map Library are fairly intuitive and agreed upon in their identities, far less black-and-white is the classification of the model itself. It has been described as a planetarium by its makers, an orrery by some historians, and a tellurion by others still. What distinguishes each of these instruments? Which term best describes the Trippensee Planetarium? And, where has the confusion come from?

Origins of “Orrery”

In order to navigate this tangled terminology, we must begin in 1712 with the origin of the term “orrery.” 1712 marked the completion of a commission of an astronomical model that London instrument maker John Rowley was tasked to construct. This model, now in The London Science Museum’s Linbury Gallery, features a central brass sun with gearing designed to drive the motion of the Earth and Moon around it. The man who commissioned it was Charles Boyle, the fourth Earl of Orrery in Ireland. It was at the suggestion of the essayist Sir Richard Steele that the device itself was termed an “orrery,” in honor of Rowley’s patron.

Science Museum Group. Orrery made by John Rowley for the Earl of Orrery. 1952-73 Science Museum Group Collection Online. Accessed 12 June 2025. https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co56970/orrery-made-by-john-rowley-for-the-earl-of-orrery

Under these circumstances, it should presumably be the case that this orrery, the first instrument to go by the classification of orrery, should be without ambiguity agreed to be an orrery. This is not the case. In fact, several historians–even the museum currently holding Rowley’s instrument–caveat that it would more accurately be termed a tellurion. At the core of this matter is the fact that the definitions of the orrery and other planetary models have drifted over the centuries.

Under its definition as established by John Rowley’s work, an orrery models the Sun-Earth-Moon system, with gearing that allows the Earth to rotate around its axis, a moon to orbit the earth, and the Earth-Moon system to orbit the Sun. Emphasis is placed on the tilt of Earth’s axis, with its 23.5 degree inclination remaining consistently oriented as the Earth travels through its orbit. A similar instrument that excludes the moon, focusing its presentation on the features of the Earth’s motion, is known as a tellurion (derived from the Latin tellus, meaning earth). Alternatively, a model that excludes the Earth while presenting the moon in a higher level of detail and priority is, in technical terms, a lunarium.

A planetarium, by its period definition, is an instrument that models the solar system from a broader perspective: a planetarium includes multiple planets (often at minimum the six Copernican planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) traveling around the sun at their relative orbital speeds, though without gearing to represent the rotation of planets or the orbital motion of their moons. When planetary rotation and lunar motion are introduced into the construction of a planetarium–essentially supplementing its function with that of an orrery–the model that results is known as a grand orrery.

Science Museum Group. George II’s Grand Orrery. 1927-1659 Science Museum Group Collection Online. Accessed 12 June 2025. https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co1522/george-iis-grand-orrery. 

Given these shifting definitions, what, then, is the Trippensee Planetarium? Somewhat counterintuitively, the designation of “planetarium” is one of the easiest to rule out due to the intricately geared Earth and Moon system. Such a scope is much finer than the broad planetary orbits planetariums are primarily concerned with. 

It is the definition of tellurion that presents the main point of contention and the beginning of a cascade of definition drift. In its modern usage, tellurion tends to describe representationally geared Sun-Earth-Moon models, despite this being the original territory of the orrery. In turn, the term orrery has come to describe what would historically be called a planetarium. Today, “planetarium” is primarily used to describe domed projection centers, capable of simulating the night sky for a given location (or as many will know them for, projecting elaborate, prerecorded educational routines). In this modern understanding of these terms, then, the designation of tellurion most comfortably fits the Trippensee Planetarium. Following the historic precedent set by Rowley’s model, however, it is an orrery. Ultimately, this disconnect comes down to the question of descriptivism vs. prescriptivism. There are those who look at Rowley’s 1712 model and see an orrery, and there are those who see a tellurion. If Rowley’s orrery is understood as the defining template of what an orrery ought to be, then the Trippensee Manufacturing Company produced an orrery. If the colloquial language developed over three centuries is to be held as authoritative, then they produced a tellurion.

With this historical context and binary in mind, the question then becomes: why did the Trippensee Manufacturing Company market their product as a planetarium?

To answer this question we must once again investigate the maker of a planetary model, this one just over 150 years after Rowley’s orrery. In 1866, United States clerk Alfred Andrews founded the A.H. Andrews Company which came to be highly regarded for its production of furniture and school supplies, along with a great variety of terrestrial globes. In the 1880s, Andrews produced the MacVicar tellurion Globe–a tellurion under the historical definition. This model featured a suggestion of the sun, but wholly emphasized the earth and its movements with no moon to be seen. Soon after came the Lunar tellurion Globe, illustrated below, with a uniquely partial representation of the sun, a spike to identify the subsolar point, and a somewhat paradoxical name. 

Gross, Howard H. Teachers’ manual for Andrews’ lunar tellurion. Chicago, A. H. Andrews & co, 1881. Pdf. https://www.loc.gov/item/05002134/.

One would think that a tellurion with a moon is simply an orrery, though Andrews’ model blurs this line. Here we arrive at a somewhat inevitable explanation for the trend toward inconsistent naming, that being the hand of marketability, especially for classroom use. By 1880, Andrews’ MacVicar tellurion Globe had already begun to establish itself as an invaluable classroom aid. Thus, naming his next product the “Lunar tellurion Globe” marks it as a successor and, most importantly, an improvement. Labeling the new product the equivalent of “tellurion: now with moon!”–makes far more sense from a business perspective than using the entirely new and potentially unfamiliar term of orrery. Particularly in the late-nineteenth century post-industrial revolution world, when instruments such as orreries were being produced by companies and factories as opposed to masters or guildsmen, pre-existing mechanical templates and naming conventions yielded to the demands of  the market. Under these circumstances, precedent and individual preference dictated terminology, with instruments becoming increasingly detached from the historical taxonomies that could be used to describe them.

The effect of these market factors in diverting convention from the historical can be seen in full force when examining the history of the Trippensee Planetarium itself. With terminology and precedent determined, let us now examine the intersecting lives and the resulting businesses that led to the creation of a timeless product still available today–The Trippensee Planetarium.

The Trippensee Manufacturing Company

In order to trace the story of the Trippensee Planetarium, we must first begin with the Trippensee family. In 1849, a man named William F. Trippensee immigrated from Germany to New York where he first established himself as a farmer before marrying Ruffina Teachout, a native of New York. The two went on to have eight children: Albert W., Frank J., William F., Frederick F., Rena, Herbert O., Reuben, and a woman recorded only in relation to her husband, George Reynolds.

After relocating to Michigan and ultimately settling in Saginaw county, brothers Albert and Frank Trippensee both entered the wagon-making trade, their paths diverging as they took up employment in a variety of workshops throughout the 1890s. Frank immersed himself in the craft, working for W.A. Patterson & Company, Durant-Dort Road Cart Company, Flint Wagon Works, and the C. R. Wilson Body Company in Detroit. Meanwhile, Albert ascended the corporate ladder, developing a taste for entrepreneurship that took him beyond the trades. Having impressed his employers at the wagon-making shop of W. F. Stewart and again at subsequent posts, he was promoted time and time again, eventually entering the business sector for himself.

In 1896, while the Trippensee brothers accumulated experience in their respective ventures, just across the Canadian border Alexander Laing of Essex filed both U.S. and Canadian patents for an intricate mechanism that soon became popular in schools across the United States: a string and pulley driven orrery (seen here). The unit included a Sun-Earth-Moon model (plus Venus), that when manually cranked demonstrated the relative motions of each included body. The model was first and foremost an educational tool marketed for the classroom, and, as such, was reasonably priced. Notably, for Laing’s model, in a manner that followed in the footsteps of Rowley, the Moon and Venus were painted half white, half black, and geared to demonstrate their phases as seen from earth.

The School Journal. United States: E.L. Kellogg & Company, 1904.

https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_School_Journal/n6hLAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0 

Laing’s Planetarium was highly regarded by its target demographic, with educators praising the model in the review sections of school supply catalogues and educational journals. For example in a 1900 review one educator noted:

Laing’s Planetarium is a most admirably contrived instrument for illustrating the various motions and problems which present themselves in connection with the study of mathematical geography and elementary astronomy. It recommends itself at first sight by the simplicity of its mechanism. An instructor using it does not need to talk; the instrument speaks for itself. No progressing teacher of geography can afford to be without such a device. It is of use equally in the elementary and in higher schools. It assists in making clear all sorts of difficult problems relating to Diurnal Motion, the Ecliptic, Equinoxes and Solstices, Seasons, Zones, Circle of Illumination, Apogee, and Perigee, etc.

Although described in The School Journal as an orrery, Laing marketed his product as a planetarium: the specialty of the newly founded Laing Planetarium Company, which he later moved to Detroit. We don’t know why Laing decided to call his product a planetarium. Whether stemming from a lacking awareness of technical terms or an intentional preference for a term perceived to hold more public stock than “orrery,” Laing’s choice forever shaped the legacy of his product and, by extension, the vocabularies of generations of children, and their teachers.

By 1905, with automobiles beginning to displace his trade of wooden carriage manufacturing, we find Frank J. Trippensee is still in Michigan, working for the Laing Planetarium Company. The company was struggling financially during this period, with two years of unpaid taxes resulting in the company’s original charter falling void. Having notified his brothers Albert W. and William F. Trippensee of this financial instability and the opportunity it presented, the Trippensees bought out Laing, reconfiguring the business into the Trippensee Manufacturing Company. The three brothers each took on a leadership role, settling on William F. Trippensee as President, Albert W. Trippensee as Vice President, and Frank J. Trippensee as Secretary and Treasurer of their new enterprise.

Between 1905 and 1908, the Trippensee Manufacturing Company sold rebranded Laing planetariums, still making use of his original string and pulley design. Seeing as though the Laing Planetarium had already become ensconced within the U.S. market, these units retained continuity and were thus branded as “Trippensee Planetariums.” In 1907, Frank filed a patent that brought an innovative identity to the new company. The next year, the patent was approved and his innovation was instituted in a new model, where the strings and pulleys that drove the Laing Planetarium were replaced with a chain-and-gear system that was simpler to manufacture, easier to maintain, and much more durable.

Alongside this reconfigured planetarium design, the Trippensee Manufacturing Company extended its range to the production of automobile bodies (1907), the logical progression of the carriage bodies that Frank and Albert had spent their early careers working on. This aspect of the Trippensees’ business experienced great success, and the three brothers decided to sell the planetarium side of their business to their younger siblings. In 1920, the Trippensee Planetarium Company was officially formed and separated from the Trippensee Manufacturing Company. This change in leadership is visible in planetarium models produced after 1920, which feature oval “Trippensee Planetarium Company” labels in place of rectangular “Trippensee Manufacturing Company” ones. By 1922, the Trippensee Manufacturing Company had reconfigured to focus exclusively on the manufacture of automobile bodies. One year later, it merged with the Everett Brothers Company, rebranding as the Trippensee Closed Body Corporation with Frank J. Trippensee as President. 

Under new management, the Trippensee Planetarium Company painted the maple components of its units black starting in 1925. By 1929, two versions of the planetarium were sold: one hand-cranked and one electric. In the decades that followed, the wood and brass components of the planetariums were gradually replaced with bakelite or plastic.

Science Museum Group. Orrery planetary model by the Trippensee Planetarium Company, 1968-9. 1969-464 Science Museum Group Collection Online. Accessed 12 June 2025. https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co57045/orrery-planetary-model-by-the-trippensee-planetarium-company-1968-9.

In 1999, the Trippensee Planetarium Company was bought by Science First, a company which continues to produce the plastic Trippensee Planetarium to this day in both hand-cranked and electric versions.

Today, many recall the Trippensee planetariums of their childhood classrooms. In an era before video demonstrations and digital simulations of the solar system, such physical models were indispensable in K-12 and University classrooms and, according to reviews, helped communicate the intricacies of celestial motion and related concepts that would otherwise require months of textual study.

With particular mind to the vast quantities of former students who fondly remember the planetariums from their youth, the sense of labeling this terminology as incorrect should be considered. Certainly, Laing’s decision to call his orrery a planetarium contributed to the slippage of terms evident in today’s cultural lexicon, but so too did the term “orrery” arbitrarily replace the terminology that preceded it in 1712. It could be argued that there is hypocrisy in defining Rowley’s orrery as an orrery but not defining the Trippensee Planetarium as a planetarium.

The question of “what is the Trippensee Planetarium?” brings to attention the difficulties that plague attempts to codify the seams of classification. Considering the fact that today’s museums continue to operate under an inconsistent naming scheme for planetary models, a clean answer cannot be given. However, as previously outlined, the two most common camps are those that follow–the first being more historically based and the second more evidently colloquial:

Orrery: The Trippensee Planetarium is an orrery, as established by John Rowley’s 1712 instrument. An orrery includes a detailed Sun-Earth-Moon model, with gearing to represent the axial tilt, rotations, orbits, and relative speeds of its included bodies. It follows that removing the moon would result in a tellurion, and adding a fuller spread of geared planets and moons would result in a grand orrery. The modern dome-projection planetarium is not particularly distinguished within this vocabulary, with context instead dictating which type of planetarium is being referred to.

Tellurion: The Trippensee Planetarium is a tellurion–an instrument that models the Sun-Earth-Moon system (though the moon does not necessarily have to be included) with particular emphasis on the dynamics of Earth’s tilted axis. It is distinct from an orrery, which models a wider array of planets at their relative speeds. A grand orrery advances the orrery mechanically (often at a larger scale), including additional gearing to represent the intricate rotations of the plants and their moons. The term “planetarium” distinctly refers to dome-projection centers.

While these two stances tend to be the most common, there exist still other schemes more or less nuanced in their designations and definitions. While a satisfying and conclusive scheme of terminology may not be available, the context gathered thus far allows indexed pieces and collections to be understood within their own terms. Often when one looks too closely at the boundaries of instrument classification, a sort of coastline paradox results. Sometimes, against the instinct toward intricate, technically accurate typologies, classification remains a matter of precedent–precedent shaped by cultural vocabularies and the individual preferences of institutions. 

Returning to the Osher Map Library’s Trippensee Planetarium reveals a number of key details: Not mentioned up until now is the fact that this Trippensee Planetarium is accompanied by its original box, which contains a telling label reading “Trippensee Planetarium Co.” Taken alone, this might simply indicate that the unit was produced after 1920 when manufacture migrated away from the original Trippensee Manufacturing Company, however this cannot be the case. The unit itself carries a rectangular label reading “Trippensee Manufacturing Co.” Together, these details reveal two key pieces of information. Because this model is branded with the original company name (and made from plain maple–not yet painted black), its manufacture could theoretically be dated to any year between 1908 and 1920. That is, between the implementation of Frank Trippensee’s patent and the separation of the Trippensee Planetarium company. However, due to the discrepancy between the company name on the unit itself and its box’s label, it is evident that this unit was sold during a transitional period where the boxes had been updated to reflect the new manufacturer while some older stock remained, still labeled “Trippensee Manufacturing Co.” This places the unit’s sale soon after 1920, assuming the Trippensee Planetarium Company prioritised sending out its existing stock. Due to the unlikelihood of an unboxed Trippensee Planetarium remaining unsold for an extended period, I speculate that this unit was one of the last produced prior to the company’s reorganization. It was likely manufactured in the years preceding 1920, allowing it to be built under the Trippensee Manufacturing Company but boxed and sold under the Trippensee Planetarium Company.

Footnotes:

1. Although he has been occasionally credited with the invention of the orrery, Rowley himself acknowledges (in a plaque on his instrument) that George Graham’s 1700 design predated his own.

2. There is an argument to be made that is not considered at length here, but is worth mentioning for the additional perspective it provides. There are those who consider the term orrery to be entirely void as a term of classification, considering its use comparable to modern genericide (when a brand name becomes so widely known that its name replaces the generic term within a cultural lexicon; think Google(ing), Post-Its, Xerox, etc.). Prior to Rowley’s orrery, similar models were called tellurions or planeteria.

By Jessica Hovey, Collections Manager at the Osher Map Library. 

The end of summer is in sight, and with it comes the inevitable reflection of “Where did the time go…and what did I do with it?” Managing the collections at OML is a year-round gig, and during the break from our busy teaching schedule, much of my summer in the office was mostly spent catching up on a backlog of collections processing and budget planning. Don’t you worry, I know that this isn’t the sort of thing that makes for good storytelling, so instead I would love to share a fun (and nerdy) highlight from earlier in the season. In June I had the pleasure of attending the Rare Book School course Paper as Bibliographic Evidence at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Within our collections, one can find a richly curated selection of maps, globes, atlases, and rare books dating from the 15th century to the present. Many of the items in our collections are paper-based, and this course presented a wonderful opportunity to better understand the elements of paper and its composition, which directly informs our assessments for the long-term care and preservation of the materials in our collections.

The course structure at RBS is a rigorous, week-long exploration into the composition of the book and book history through lectures, hands-on analysis of rare books, and sometimes workshops that explore the processes of making. The program has been lovingly described as “summer camp for book nerds,” and RBS has cultivated a unique community experience that attracts a variety of folks from different bookish backgrounds like conservation and collections care professionals, curators, dealers, educators, library professionals, and students. What each person often has in common is an interest in and love for the book. Rare Book School is based in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia, but hosts courses at a small selection of institutional partners in the U.S. and abroad. Paper as Bibliographic Evidence was the first RBS course to be held in Ann Arbor, and there is potential for the program to grow there. 

The course was taught by Cathleen Baker, whose expertise from over 50 years in paper conservation, publishing, and research are indelible gifts to share with anyone who is willing to learn. She is an engaging person who has dedicated much of her lifetime to understanding the materiality of paper and how it is made through her own experimentation and research. Most of the week was spent with my 13 classmates learning about paper structure, reviewing the historic processes of papermaking in Europe and North America (handmade and machine-made), and looking closely at a variety of papers to identify their structure and means of production. We were provided with several selections of rare books from the Hatcher Library Special Collections to analyze during class sessions. Notably, the 1820 Lavoisne atlas caught my attention because we have one in our collections, and it is one of the first books in the United States to advertise that it was printed on machine made paper.

During the week, we also had the opportunity to make our own paper at Out of Hand Papermaking Studio (OOHPS), where artist and papermaker Karen O’Neal (purple shirt) generously shared her time and her studio space with us. Paper is still made by hand today, though not at the volume that it was prior to the popularization of the fourdrinier and cylinder machines in the 19th century (the last industrial handmade paper mill in the U.S. closed in the early 20th century). The quality of handmade paper is best exhibited through its tactility, and depending on the makeup of the pulp and the sizing agent used, the resulting leaves can be sumptuously soft and pliable even centuries after its making. Today, handmade papers are typically used for artists’ papers or for a limited run of specialized publications at press. In Karen’s studio, each of us made at least three sheets of handmade paper. Cathy and Karen prepared the pulp for us from unsized cotton fiber and cotton linters, and we were able to successfully dip, pull, couch, press, and dry small leaves on our own. Going through the actions of papermaking really hit home not only the logical steps of making papers by hand, but also the skill needed to do so at a high production rate.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with how paper is made, handmade papers are created using a handmould, which is a form composed of a mould with a screen (base) and deckle (frame) that fits over the screen to catch the pulp. Cathy presented the class with a helpful example of a custom handmould constructed by papermaker and fine craftsman Timothy Moore to show the development of the weave of the handmould screen from antique laid, to modern laid, to wove–each screen capable of producing a more refined paper consistency than the last.

Paper is formed on the screen by dipping the mould into a slurry of pulp and is lifted to let the excess water drain out of the screen. The pulp is then transferred to felt (couched) to set, and is air or heat dried after the excess moisture is pressed out.

What can you see within the page? Patterns form where the pulp settles, which can be made more visible by viewing the leaf or page with a light source, either with transmitted light shone through the verso or raking light shone over the surface. Distinctive rib shadows can be seen running perpendicular to the laid lines. These are created by the capillary action or suction of water leaving the frame and depositing a concentration of fiber on top of the screen where it intersects with the rib supports on the bottom of the mould. You often see the chain lines running up the center of the rib shadows parallel to the short side of the frame, and these are impressions from the wires that tie the individual laid wires. Sometimes you can also see what are called “papermakers tears,” which are circular depressions in the pulp made by errant drips from the handmould.

Identifying papers by analyzing their physical features is a nuanced practice, and not without its complications. Some of the features of handmade papers can appear in machine made papers, such as chain lines, watermarks, and laid lines. Imitation handmade papers can be particularly difficult to identify, and were in high demand during the Arts and Crafts movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Other factors can make it difficult to discern how a paper was made, like how it was sized and finished, as sizing can affect the texture and longevity of the paper and the finishing process can smooth the surface of the paper and remove a lot of its surface structure. These considerations (and others) aside, the ability to identify certain characteristics that present themselves in the structure of hand and machine made papers is a skill worth learning in that it can provide more insight into the overall constitution of archival materials.

This is the second RBS course I have taken, and at the end of the week I found myself enchanted by that old book school magic. Leaving behind such a wonderful gathering of intelligent, kind, and curious people who live and breathe these subjects is bittersweet. We take with us a greater understanding and appreciation for the secrets that are hidden within the page, and the power to share that knowledge with others who are interested in learning. Let me end by saying that if you ever want to talk paper, my door is open.

It was a landmark summer for OML’s education team for many reasons, not the least of which was the launch of our Worldbuilders Summer Camp! Fifteen amazing campers joined us for a week in early August, and we couldn’t have asked for a better group of kids for our first ever OML camp experience. 

Over the five days we learned about each other and the world around us. Together we: invented and mapped our own planets and countries; played a tabletop roleplaying game with an invented world; had a LEGO city building contest; toured other “worlds” in our solar system at the Planetarium; built forts; made treasure maps in teams; used other teams’ treasure maps to find hidden items in Deering Oaks Park; played games to earn prizes from BORP (Box Of Random Prizes); and so much more! 

A major highlight of the week was a fantasy-themed live-action roleplaying (LARP) game in Deering Oaks Park led by Breakwater School’s outdoor education teacher, Patrick Fitzgibbons. The campers made amazing homemade costumes beforehand, solved problems together to recover a magical chicken stolen by goblins, had dodgeball skirmishes with foes, and ultimately defeated the LARP boss, which was a “rabid dragon” that turned out to be a Rabbit Dragon in a surprise twist. 

We were impressed by the group’s ability to quickly build community, problem solve, and work as a team. Their imaginations and creativity allowed them to flourish in the worlds they were building and we loved seeing them encourage one another. The week flew by but we’re looking forward to next year’s camp and hope to see some familiar faces!

By Krystal Pugh, 2024 Spring Intern at the Osher Map Library 

As I began my internship at the Osher Map Library and Smith Center for Cartographic Education (OML), I was excited to gain experience in the field of public history, but wasn’t sure what exactly to expect. On the first day of my internship, I was given a box that contained a small collection of letters and ephemera dating back to the 1930s, that originally belonged to a young woman named Josephine Libby. My goal was to process the collection from beginning to end, and throughout that process I learned a lot about working in archives, and I gained skills that I will be able to use moving forward into a career in archival work. But I also learned how easy it is to become personally invested in your research.

My first step in processing the collection was to organize and inventory everything within the collection, which consisted of nearly 100 items. I began by sorting everything into categories – correspondence, holiday cards, handwritten poems, stories, and song lyrics, and miscellaneous ephemeral items. Then, I began organizing the letters in chronological order. This process was relatively simple, because most of the writers had written the date on the letter, or if not, the letter’s envelope was stamped with a date from the post office. For some letters I was able to use context clues to figure out approximate dates, but some ended up in an “undated folder.” 

Next, I created an inventory spreadsheet which contained information such as the date, sender, sender location, the physical condition of the letter, and a brief description of the contents of the letter. This helped me understand the scope of the collection. I made sure to read each letter in its entirety, and to examine each piece of ephemera, even if it seemed to be something unimportant, like a napkin. It turns out you can learn a lot of information from things that may seem trivial at first glance.

After I completed the initial inventory, I began to research Josephine. I learned a bit about her from the letters, like that she worked at a mill, and the names of her parents and siblings.. But, I wanted to be able to put together a broader picture of her life that expanded outside the time frame of the collection. I first researched her on familysearch.org, and found a good bit of information there, especially from looking at census data. I learned her parents’ occupations and the ages of her siblings. I also learned that she only completed the first year of high school and that she was a twister at a spinning mill, though the census didn’t specify which mill she worked at, and I learned that she got married at age 19 to a man named Raymond.

I also utilized newspapers.com for my research, and I learned a lot more than I expected. One thing that I hoped to find using this resource was a picture of Josephine. I wanted to be able to put a face to the person I had spent so much time researching, and I hoped that I would find a picture attached to her wedding announcement. I did end up finding her wedding announcement in the Morning Sentinel, and I learned where she got married and who was in attendance, but, unfortunately, there was no picture. I continued my research though, and learned a lot more about her, like that she frequently traveled throughout Maine and to Boston to visit friends and family, she was active in her church, and she often baked cakes for birthdays and wedding showers. 

One of my most exciting days of research was when I finally stumbled across a picture of Josephine. I had been scrolling through newspapers.com for a couple hours when I came across an announcement that she had completed the real estate program at the University of Maine at Augusta, and had been hired by a local real estate company. This article was accompanied by a picture of Josephine, who at the time was about 50 years old. It was at this point that I realized that I had begun to form a personal connection to this collection and to Josephine herself. Every time I found a piece of information, I found myself wanting to learn more, so I kept searching. 

Throughout my research, I kept returning to the physical collection, checking to see if there was anything I missed. One thing that I had overlooked was a napkin that read “The Belgrade and The Elmwood.” At first I offhandedly wondered why anyone would ever save a napkin. Now that I had become more invested in this research, I actually wanted to know why she had decided to keep this napkin. I looked up The Belgrade and The Elmwood and found that they were two modern, luxury hotels in Waterville, Maine. There were many things to do in the area, such as visiting the Belgrade Lakes, and there were taxis that would take you to various locations and that would drive you between the hotels. The hotels also both had dining rooms. When I learned this, I made the assumption that she kept the napkin because going to the hotel’s dining room was special for her, whether because she was there on a date, or with friends, or just because it seemed fancy to her, she kept the napkin because it meant something to her. 

About two months into my internship, I found myself in the basement of the Skowhegan Free Public Library using their Genealogy and Reference room to continue my research. I was very excited to see that there were yearbooks from Skowhegan High School dating back to the time Josephine would have been in high school. Each one only had pictures of the graduating class, so I excitedly searched through the ones from around the time Josephine would have graduated, hoping to find a picture from the same time period as the collection – unfortunately, I was unsuccessful (at the time, I didn’t know that she didn’t complete high school). I also came across a directory from 1938, which is the last year that the materials in the collection covered, and was also the year that Josephine got married. I found her name in the directory, and listed beside it was “M S Co.” Because of the research I had done earlier, learning that she was a yarn twister at a mill, I was able to determine that the “M S Co.” listed beside her name meant she worked at Maine Spinning Company in Skowhegan. 

As I left the library,  I crossed the street and looked out over the Skowhegan River to the building that once was Maine Spinning Co. This, along with the library, was one of the only buildings that still existed from the time of the collection, and it was really cool to be able to see it in person. As I walked back to my car, I couldn’t help but wonder if Josephine had walked the same route on her way to or from the library or work. I finished my trip by stopping by Southside Cemetery. I walked around until I finally found Josephine’s gravesite. I wondered, if she were here, what she would think about me going through her old collection and researching her life. 

The trip to Skowhegan didn’t uncover any groundbreaking information about Josephine or her life, but it did provide some insights into how we, as historians, can sometimes become personally invested in our work. Although her life seemed ordinary, I was fascinated by each new piece of information that I found. I wondered why I had become so invested in her story. Maybe it was the challenge of combing through newspapers and archives and using what I found to piece together her life. Maybe it was the personal connection I felt when I held the letters in my own hands – the same letters she once held almost 100 years ago. As I read the letters in this collection, I realized how similar we are to people who lived decades, or even centuries ago. We navigate friendships, relationships, and jobs. We tell jokes and read poems, and write down lyrics to our favorite songs. 

Still, as much as I learned about her through this project, I never knew Josephine as a person. This has made me realize that this type of research often involves interpretation and that it’s important that, as historians, we are aware of the biases that may come up as a result of how invested we are in our research.

This project has also made me consider the ethicality of researching people from the past. When you are researching someone who was never really in the public eye and who led a “normal” life, how do you know how much information is too much information to share? How do you justify digging into someone’s past if you can’t ask their permission? How do I know that Josephine wouldn’t have been horrified to know that I was reading her personal letters? These are the types of questions I grappled with as I worked on this project, and I think they are important questions to ask. 

Overall, I have learned a lot from my internship at the OML. Before I started this internship this semester I had never done research on this scale. This was my first time taking primary sources and using them to create a narrative, and I learned a lot in the process. I have not only gained skills that will be useful as I move forward into a career in public history, but I developed a deep appreciation for the personal histories that make up our past.
