The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library at Saint John’s University in Minnesota is stopping the clock for thousands of such works using the modern-day magic of computer digitization. \nOn Sunday\, March 25\, at 2 pm\, Father Columba Stewart\, OSB\, executive director of the Hill Museum\, discusses efforts to rescue manuscript collections from Lebanon\, Syria\, Iraq\, Turkey\, Jerusalem\, Ethiopia and India. His talk\, “Endangered Texts: Preserving Ancient Books the Benedictine Way in the 21st Century\,” will be in the museum auditorium. It’s free with admission; Sundays are free to NM residents. \nThe event is part of the programming series for the exhibits Illuminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape. \nDownload high-resolution images of one of the manuscripts and of Father Columba Stewart by clicking on "Go to related images" below. \nSince medieval times\, Benedictine monks have been dedicated to education and the power of the book. They hand-copied manuscripts of classical authors\, along with the Bible\, and preserved valuable books that would otherwise have been lost. As part of that goal\, the Hill Museum has gathered and carefully digitized 35\,000 manuscripts\, which are now being catalogued and made available online. \n“It’s Benedictines doing a traditional Benedictine thing\, but with modern technology\,” Stewart said. \nSaint John’s Abbey and University commissioned The Saint John’s Bible as a major example of that commitment—the first handwritten and illuminated Bible from the Benedictine Order in 500 years. Forty-four of its pages are on display in Illuminating the Word\, which recently had its run extended through December 30\, 2012. \nIn 1965\, the Abbey and University created what came to be the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library as an effort to preserve priceless manuscripts held in European monasteries and libraries. Work soon spread beyond monasteries and beyond Europe. The holdings now number more than 90\,000 manuscripts on microfilm and 35\,000 in digital format. The Eastern Mediterranean initiative began in 2003 as part of an effort to preserve manuscripts in parts of the world beset by turmoil and uncertainty: Lebanon\, Syria\, Turkey\, Iraq\, Israel and India. Altogether\, the library’s collection includes substantial holdings from Germany and Austria (including the National Library in Vienna)\, Sweden\, Switzerland\, Spain\, Portugal\, England\, Malta\, Ethiopia\, and more recently the Middle East and India. Virtually every subject of knowledge—theology\, philosophy\, law (canon and civil)\, music\, art\, science and medicine\, the mechanical arts and the liberal arts—is reflected. \nStewart serves as a professor of theology and has spoken throughout the United States\, Europe\, the Middle East\, and Asia. His publications include Cassian: The Monk (Oxford University Press\, 1999) and Prayer and Community: The Benedictine Tradition (Orbis Books\, 1998).

Medina was a vivacious Hispanic woman\, a Catholic who had become a Jehovah’s Witness. But a genetic test revealed that her cancer was caused by a mutation that has followed Jewish people for 2\,500 years across continents\, oceans and cultures. \nAt 2 pm on Sunday\, Jan. 29\, science writer Jeff Wheelwright traces that gene through a story that begins in Babylonian captivity\, travels to medieval Spain and then to Mexico and North America\, where it combines Native beliefs\, fundamentalist Protestantism\, and shifting debates about the meaning of race and the ethics of genetic research. His lecture\, “Secret Jews and Telltale Genes in New Mexico\,” is free with admission; Sundays are free to NM residents. \nWheelwright will also be signing his new book The Wandering Gene and the Indian Princess: Race\, Religion\, and DNA (W.W. Norton & Co.\, 2012)\, which shows how the unique culture and experiences of the Jewish people\, starting with the founding of Hebrew tribes in the Middle East\, contributed to the spread of the genetic mutation. It includes the terror of the Spanish Inquisition\, which forced the expulsion of Jewish people from Spain and into new lives where even their own descendants were sometimes unaware of their religious history. \nThrough online services like Family Tree DNA\, many New Mexicans have hunted for traces of Jewish roots in their family trees. Some have received evidence that they are descended from the biblical Aaron. But how reliable are the consumer tests? Wheelwright will describe the latest scientific research on the Jewish component of the Hispano population. (Members of Shonnie Medina's family contributed their DNA to this important study.) \nWheelwright\, a graduate of Yale University and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism\, was awarded a J. S. Guggenheim Fellowship in 2009. He is a science writer and editor and has been published in Discover and Smithsonian magazines. He lives in Morro Bay\, California.

The presentation includes excerpts from films on both artists and will be in the museum auditorium. This event is free with admission; Sundays are free to NM residents. \nBoth men’s work can be seen in the museum’s Mezzanine-level exhibition\, The Letter\, the Word & the Book\, which highlights 20th- and 21st-century practitioners of typography\, calligraphy\, engravings\, enameling and more. \nMoser’s The Pennyroyal Caxton Bible\, a contemporary Old and New Testament\, features phenomenally detailed relief engravings that reveal a unique artistic vision of figures like the prophet Daniel (at left). Six of the engravings printed by Moser’s longtime collaborator Harold McGrath are on display in the exhibition. \nAlso on display are samples of lettering done by Benson\, who carved the inscriptions on the John F. Kennedy Memorial in Arlington Cemetery and on the FDR Memorial on the National Mall in Washington\, D.C. \nMoser is a highly regarded and prolific illustrator who has illustrated and/or designed more than 300 books with calligraphy\, pencil and ink drawings\, watercolors and relief engravings. He is on the faculty of the Illustration Department at the Rhode Island School of Design and is Professor in Residence in the Department of Art at Smith College\, where he also serves as the school’s printer. He was the 1995 Whitney J. Oates Fellow in Humanities at Princeton University. In 1998\, he was artist and writer in residence in the Children’s Literature Department at Vassar College. \nClick here for more information on Barry Moser. \nBenson\, a calligrapher\, sculptor and stone carver\, began working for his father at the age of 15 at the John Stevens Shop\, one of the oldest businesses in the United States\, founded in 1705. Besides carving the inscription for the Kennedy Memorial\, he was commissioned to design and carve gravestones for Tennessee Williams\, Lillian Hellman and George Balanchine. He designed site-specific fonts and incised inscriptions on the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery\, Alabama\, and the Federal Courthouse in Boston. In his 40 years at the John Stevens Shop\, he was awarded the Craftsmanship Medal by the American Institute of Architects\, the National Pell Award for Distinguished Achievements in the Arts\, an honorary doctorate degree by the Rhode Island School of Design\, and the 2000 Presidential Design Award for Excellence in the Arts. In 1993\, he turned over the business to his son\, Nicholas Benson\, who continues to produce hand-carved inscriptions in stone. (The son's work can be seen in Santa Fe on the inscription of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.) \nClick here for more information about the John Stevens Shop. \nIlluminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible\, on display through April 7\, 2012\, features 44 pages from a hand-written and illuminated Bible commissioned by the monks of Saint John’s Abbey in Collegeville\, Minn.

Doors open at 10 am\, with sales in the History Museum lobby until noon. The event begins at 10:30 am in the auditorium. Also that day\, the museum kicks off a yearlong celebration of statehood with 47 Stars\, an expansion of its existing permanent exhibition that includes the officially unofficial 47-star flag. \n \nWith its Centennial stamp\, the U.S. Postal Service honors the 100 years that have passed since January 6\, 1912\, when New Mexico became the 47th state in the union. Today\, New Mexico is the fifth-largest state in the U.S.\, known for its rich history\, vibrant cultures\, and stunning geographic diversity. \nA resident of New Mexico for more than 35 years\, artist Doug West is best known for his southwestern landscapes and skies. Art director Richard Sheaff selected one of West’s existing oil paintings for the stamp art. \nNew Mexico Statehood is being issued as a Forever® stamp. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate. \n The four-cent stamp issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of New Mexico statehood was designed by Robert J. Jones and featured Ship Rock\, a towering rock formation in northwestern New Mexico. \nThe History Museum is celebrating the Centennial with a variety of installations expanding on its existing display of the state at statehood. Included among them is the display of its officially unofficial 47-star flag. \nOn April 4\, 1818\, Congress enacted the Flag Act of 1818\, setting forth a rule that no new stars could be added to the flag until the Fourth of July immediately following a state’s admission to the union. Thanks to that once-a-year-and-only-once-a-year mandate\, New Mexicans hoping to share their pride at becoming the 47th state were essentially forced into committing their first illegal acts as U.S. citizens. \nJust 39 days after New Mexico became a state on January 6\, 1912\, Arizona stepped up to the statehood plate on February 14\, 1912. By virtue of coming in second\, Arizona would receive its just due on July 4\, when the official flag of the United States was to switch from 46 to 48 stars. \nBut New Mexicans wanted a flag of their own – one that would flutter from the flagpoles of official buildings and showcase 47 stars\, not 46 and certainly not 48. Eager U.S. flag manufacturers were only too happy to help. Thus was born the unofficial 47-star flag. \n“Conservation concerns have kept us from bringing our 47-star flags out of collections for public view\,” said Dr. Frances Levine\, director of the History Museum. “But the Centennial was too good of an opportunity to pass up. By letting visitors see these artifacts in specially designed display cases\, we hope they’ll become engaged in the amazing story of New Mexico’s struggle for statehood.” \nThe 47 Stars installation will nestle within the museum’s core exhibition\, Telling New Mexico: Stories from Then and Now. The museum's front window will feature a cutout of 1912 parade car\, based on a historic photo\, that visitors can pose themselves into for souvenir photographs.

This version of an old Hispanic tradition recreates Mary and Joseph's search for a place to give birth to the Baby Jesus – and throws in a few devils for good measure. Stay for carols in the Palace Courtyard\, along with cookies and refreshments. Free and open to the public. \nThe History Museum and Palace will close at 3 p.m. to prepare for this event. \n For centuries\, Las Posadas has been an honored part of the Christmas tradition. In it\, families\, churches\, communities and\, in Santa Fe's case\, the Palace of the Governors\, re-enact the search by Mary and Joseph to find lodgings prior to the birth of Jesus. A typical Las Posadas celebration stretches out over nine nights — Dec. 16-24 — with different families hosting a small party for the actors and others in their homes. \n \nLas Posadas celebrations are common in northern New Mexico towns and deeply rooted in Spanish Catholic tradition. In the early 1970s\, a successful neighborhood campaign against the development of an apartment building in Santa Fe sparked what was for a while a largely secular celebration of Las Posadas. It quickly outgrew its confines on San Antonio Street\, and the then-Bank of Santa Fe asked if the neighborhood would move it to the Plaza in the early 1980s. The bank then paired with the Palace of the Governors to organize and host what has since become a beloved community tradition. \nGlobally\, the tradition of Las Posadas dates back to the 16th century and St. Ignatius Loyola\, who used an Aztec festival to teach about the birth of Christ\, turning their nine-day celebration of the birth of the Aztec Sun God with a Christian celebration. What started as a novena\, or nine days of prayer\, eventually moved from the church to the community\, to be celebrated in people's homes.

Here’s where the deal comes in: Most hardbacks will go for $3\, paperbacks for $1 to $2\, and coffee-table books for $5. A selection of higher-priced\,  hard-to-find items on Southwest history will also be available. \nBesides books\, you can pick up a few original (and unfinished) art works by Helen Blumenschein\, photographs from the Photo Archives ($2–$4 for small\, $5-$10 for large)\, and a few graphics/posters. \nProceeds from the book sale will help the Library purchase materials for its collection\, particularly those on the atomic age\, an era of particular interest to New Mexico. In 2009\, the Library acquired a collection of nearly 5\,000 items on the subject\, and a future purchase would supplement this collection. Get a glimpse of some of those items\, including comic books and salt-and-pepper shakers on loan from the Robert Dalton Harris Collection of the Atomic Age\, now on display in the Library. \nThe History Library book sale is just one of the ways the museum is raising funds to support acquisitions. Tell your friends and make it a book-buying day: Just across Washington Avenue\, the Santa Fe Public Library will be holding its holiday book sale\, too. \nIn order to prepare for this book sale\, the Chavez Library and the Photo Archives will be CLOSED on Friday\, Dec. 2 For further information please call (505) 476.5090 (Library) or (505) 476.5092 (Photo Archives). \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/1282-history-library-book-sale-offers-great-deals-a-fund-raiser-for-the-chavez-history-library/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/1282_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20111124T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20111124T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175428Z CREATED:20111127T233316Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175428Z UID:10001963-1322128800-1322154000@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Holiday Closure Museum closed for Thanksgiving DESCRIPTION:The New Mexico History Museum will be closed on Thursday\, November 24\, for Thanksgiving.
