Surveying Spain: Working with Spanish Civil War Posters at NYU Libraries

Hi, my name is Mia Lindenburg. I am a graduate student undergoing NYU’s Dual Degree program, where I will get an MA in literature and an MLIS. This semester, I have been working with NYU’s Barbara Goldsmith Preservation & Conservation Department, mentored by Lindsey Tyne (Conservation Librarian), Laura McCann (Director of Preservation), Weatherly Stephan (Head of Archival Collections Management), and Felix Esquivel (Collections Manager, Special Collections), to survey the Spanish Civil War Poster Collection (ALBA.GRAPHICS.001). This internship has helped me to prepare for a future career in special collections libraries, where I will be required to work with delicate material similar to what I see in this collection. I am very thankful for this opportunity and how it has allowed me to delve deeper into archival work with a hands-on approach.

In addition to working with the Preservation department, I have been lucky enough to work with the Archival Collections Management (ACM) and Special Collections departments, allowing me to see the different perspectives of handling a large and often complicated collection. This blog post will demonstrate the different ways in which these departments added to my learning experience and show some of the special facets of working with this collection in particular.

BUILDING THE DATABASE

Before I began surveying this collection, I had to create an infrastructure that would allow me to compile the data I would be collecting. I used the software AirTable to build this database. First, I had to move the data that had already been collected into my table. This came from Archives Space (AS), an archives information management software used by NYU Libraries. This had much of the preliminary data I would need to fact-check against in the survey, such as poster locations. After I had brought the AS data into the table, I created fields that would duplicate the AS fields but with the descriptor (survey) to show any differences. Additionally, I made new fields for things we might want to consider, such as condition and size. 

UNIQUE POSTER FORMATS

“I tu? Que fas per la victoria?”

ALBA-ES 46, copy 4 “i tu?” (Photo by: M. Lindenburg)

The first set of posters that I want to discuss is ALBA-ES 45 and 46, also known as the two sides of “I tu? Que fas per la victoria?” a Catalan poster depicting a bloody soldier advocating for his audience to participate in the war, to support the cause. This collection has many copies, encapsulated (meaning this poster is inside a protective mylar sleeve) and unencapsulated, of this poster. The copies pictured below interest me because they were particularly delicate. You can tell from the photos that they were split into pieces, making flipping the posters to inspect the back difficult. These will need a lot of conservation work, although they may not be an immediate priority since so many copies are in fine condition.

“Allisteu-vos a les milicies antifeixistes”

The poster “Allisteu-vos a les milicies antifeixistes,” belongs to a series of posters collected at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia as part of a circulating exhibit.

These interest me because of how they were mounted for the exhibition. Rather than encapsulating the posters or leaving them untouched, this exhibitor chose to attach muslin across the back and use cardboard and grommets to hang them.

Annual Xmas Eve Ball

Poster ALBA-US-15, uses a mounting technique commonly used with posters associated with the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (VALB).

It is mounted on a paperboard, which makes it somewhat heavy and unwieldy when grouped in folders. Take note of the headline of Zero Mostel, which shows the support the VALB received, even from celebrities.

THE INSCRIBED NAMES & WHO THEY WERE

Archie Brown is a signature I’ve encountered a lot in this collection.

ALBA-ES-8 (Photo by: M. Lindenburg)

Brown was born in 1911 in Sioux City, Iowa. He was brought into the world of labor activism at an early age. 1934, he was arrested at a Young Communist League (YCL) event in San Pedro. But he continued with his activism despite this. In 1937, Brown got tuned into the struggles in Spain, particularly after his brother was recruited to the International Brigade. In San Francisco, Brown was denied a passport because of his radical reputation. So, he went to New York City and stowed away on a ship to France, where he would travel to Spain. He joined the forces of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and, even after the war, continued to fight as a soldier and an activist.

Harry Hakam is an interesting character, partially because of his frequent correspondence with other members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.

ALBA-ES-77 (Photo by: M. Lindenburg)

Hakam was born in Brooklyn in 1913. In February 1937, he sailed to France, arriving in Spain in March of the same year. He served primarily as a battalion runner, returning to the US in 1938. However, it’s his correspondence that makes him shine. His collection marker (Hakam) is found on many posters that share others’ names, meaning he likely sent these posters back and forth between fellow members.

We don’t have as much information on Al Erdberg, but we do know from the Harry Hakam Papers (ALBA.046) and the fact that Erdberg shows up in the Hakam posters that they had correspondence. Erdberg was likely part of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade or a state-side supporter. This would be an interesting figure to research further.

REHOUSING

A big problem I encountered when surveying these posters was with the housing rather than the posters themselves. Often, I encountered groups of ten or more posters in a folder, making the folder heavy and difficult to move. Further, if these posters are in mylar encapsulation, they become even heavier. To remedy this, the posters need to be rehoused into sturdier folders. I began some of this work with Laura McCann this semester, and the rehousing of the posters will continue through the summer. 

VELCRO STICKERS

Some of the posters I found had velcro stickers left on the mylar encapsulation. These are likely from previous exhibition techniques, where the posters were attached to a wall using velcro. However, this technique is now deemed problematic, so Lindsey Tyne and I used a process to remove these stickers. We used a hot iron to heat small metal spatulas, which we then used to melt the adhesive of the sticker and lift the velcro off. This is a delicate process, but we got into a rhythm and moved fairly quickly.

This collection has taught me many things. I have learned to be patient, think carefully, and always be on the lookout for new observations, among many other smaller skills. If I were asked to advise someone starting a similar project, I encourage them to take note of their natural rhythm so that they can figure out which order of surveying works best for them to maximize efficiency. I would also tell them not to be afraid of asking questions, even if it’s clarifying something they think you already know. This has been an incredible experience, and I feel so lucky to have been a part of this collection. Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

Russia going 5 minutes without threatening to bomb the UK challenge.

Yelena Valbe who is the...hang on *checks* head of the Russian ski Federation...okay, anyway, has allegedly said that if they drop a serious bomb in the centre of London everything would be over by now.

Really Yelena? Because I think the complete opposite will happen if your country decides to wipe a major European city off the map. I know we aren't the most popular country in Europe, but I also think most other countries may not take kindly to such an aggressive tactic.

After everything that has happened to me in the past year, I do sometimes wonder if I'm right continuing the work I do. Then I read quotes like this and think 'nope, I need to keep going in my work. This war can't go on.'

Anyway, as this news was bought by United24, I thought I'd just use it as a plug to go and help if you can. Whatever money you can pledge will be beneficial for Ukraine. I don't know if @mishacollins demining page is still up, but if it is go pledge to that.

(( Gideon is a bit too oblivious to notice staring/gawking, so you’ve gotta be direct with him. Statements about his personality and compliments of his character hit him right in the heart, but if we’re talking straight confidence, he’s a very vain man.

thanks for the asks @marcy-lark and @iry-valbe !! ))

iry-valbe replied to your post: 'Escape for the headcanons' post!

aaaaw! does her ‘stress’ knitting look different from her regular knitting? with colors and stuff like that?

She does actually knit with needles and such when she’s staying somewhere for a longer time, but her stress-knitting specifically is spool knitting! 

It’s easier to carry in a pouch without it getting untangled and you don’t have to worry that much about actually making anything. I mean. You’re just making rope. Rope is always useful for stuff. Like friendship bracelets!

A Failed Investment

Yensir,

Please deliver to your client my extreme dissatisfaction with the outcome of our recent business.

The mine in Outer Anshess has proven to be a nightmare, and parasite to our coffers. I was assured a worthy investment, and guaranteed healthy returns. On this front, the mine has not delivered and his words have been untrue. It is now a full year since we took ownership of this folly; not only has it failed to generate a single coin in profit, we have in fact spent nearly a quarter of our initial investment again to simply keep the cursed pit functioning.

Is this manner how you treat all those with whom you deal? Let me enumerate the difficulties we have had with this business, and you may judge for yourself whether your client has been entirely scrupulous.

Firstly, we were told that the mine had recently been outfitted with the latest equipment. It was specifically assured that a new pump had been installed, alongside heavy duty drills and hammers. These indeed, had been installed the previous season; however, they were leased from a Temari supplier, not purchased. This I learned only in a letter from the mine captain. When we began operation after the purchase, we learned that the equipment had been repossesed by the supplier, and thus we were working at far below the output we had come to expect, based upon your client's figures, and we have spent significant capital in replacing the machinery.

Secondly, the rates offered for purchase of the ore by local smelters were not those suggested to us by your client. It has become apparent that the local mine owners are members of a collective, membership of which is required to avail of the favourable rates for the purchase of ore. As an independent business, operating from Lansk and unable to partake in such fraternity, we were unable to sell our already-reduced product at these prices; thus a further reduction to our meagre margins. The Company smelters either will simply not accept outside business, or will charge such fees for the transport of ore as to make it impractical for us, given our remote location.

Thirdly, I was of the belief that, as is custom elsewhere in the Anshess, the human labour of this mine would be acquired as an asset. I expressed this belief on several occasions in communication and in speech with your client, and at no point did he disabuse me of the notion. Given the disastrous performance of the operation so far, we had hoped to recoup our losses by relocating the workers to other labour. I have since learned that the miners are prevented from seeking other employment, while our mine is operational; however, should we cease activity, they are in effect free to seek employment elsewhere. Again, being a small independent business at some remove from the site, we lack the ability to enforce this issue, particularly in a province so deeply contested between the Companies. I have no conclusion other than your client knowingly misled us about the acquisition of the human capital at the mine.

Finally, I would note that the mine captain himself was unaware of not only the specifics, but the actual fact of his mine's sale, and it was only with difficulty and persistence that he was able to contact us at all. This suggests to us that your client has a general habit of dishonesty and fraudulent dealings.

We have no great expectation of satisfaction in this matter; all the evidence suggests that your client is a scoundrel and mountebank, and honest resolution of this difficulty is not possible. We will be making this affair known to all those we deal with. Having acted with honesty, we feel no loss of honour or standing in the deceit we suffered; all such lands squarely at the feet of your client.

Signed,

Naham te Valbe, Director, Lansk Combined Enterprises
