Wayside Theatre, Early 1960s? 9 items — 2 contact sheets; 7 prints
The origins and setting of these unmarked prints are unknown, as is the photographer. They were discovered in a file cabinet at the Wayside Theatre in the small city of Middletown, Virginia, close to Washington D.C., which was a cinema built in the 1940s before its transformation in 1962 into a small community theater. It closed in 2013.
The seven glossy black-and-white photographs, all 8 1/8 x 10 inches, and two 8x10 contact sheets show groups of African American and white actors in the middle of an unnamed dramatic production. It seems to have included music; one of the actors holds a tambourine and actors appear to be singing. In some scenes the setting appears to be a church.
The performance may have been staged by the Wayside Theatre or possibly by the Garrick Players, the former home of the director of the Wayside Theatre; or it may be a Free Southern Theater production in Washington D.C. or some other locality. Judging by dress and haircuts, the date appears to be the early to mid 1960s.
Titles are derived from original titles or captions found on the backs of the prints. Almost all the prints are attributed to SNCC photographers.

Transcendents: Spirit Mediums in Burma and Thailand, 2014-2016 1.5 Linear Feet — 2 boxes
Mariette Pathy Allen took these inkjet color photographs of Spirit Mediums in Myanmar and Thailand from 2014-2016. The mediums, both men and women, are shown engaging in rituals and trances, attending festivals, at home, relaxing, working other jobs, and dressing for events. Titles created by photographer. The prints measure 20x24 inches; they are arranged in the order assigned by the photographer.
From the artist's statement:
"Although there are differences in the traditions practiced by Spirit Mediums in Myanmar and Thailand, I have combined the images here, as my focus is on the visual mystery of Spirit Mediums when they are possessed, and when going about their daily lives. I am looking at them as human beings who have been part of their cultures for as long as Animism has existed."
"In the past, most Spirit Mediums were women, but over time, more men have felt called as Spirit Mediums. Those that live as men, dress as women in colorful, flowing garments, wear make-up, headdresses, and ornate jewelry before, during, and after possession. They must adorn themselves as women for the Spirits. Others live as women fulltime. They would be identified as transgender in the west."

This series comprises art notebooks, sketchbooks, and artwork on loose sheets, unmounted, dating chiefly from Delouis Wilson's time at the Atlanta College of Art and then East Carolina University from 1979 to the early 1980s. Two sketchbooks were assembled from about 1983-1990, and appear to include art and commentary created during her time in the Peace Corps in Tunisia. Media include ink, pencil, pastels or chalk, charcoal, watercolor, block prints, textiles, and mixed-media ensembles with color pigments, textiles, and writings. Page and sheet sizes range from about 4 1/4 x 6 to 16 x 20 inches.
Delouis Wilson Collection of Historic Photographic Portraits of African Americans, circa 1890s-circa 1940 15 Linear Feet — 24 boxes; 1 pamphlet binder — 30 portraits — The mounts range in size from 8x10 to 17 3/4 x 21 3/4 inches (dimensions are approximate), and come in oval, round, and rectangular shapes, some with rounded edges, shoulders, and large scallops. Most of the mounts are convex, but a small group are on flat paper, flat card stock, or canvas. Many of the mounts are brittle and in some cases are abraded or damaged. Delouis Wilson, the artist who collected these portraits in thrift shops and flea markets, retouched and repaired some of the damaged portraits. There may also be older repairs. The frames are no longer present. Conservation staff have created custom enclosures to protect these fragile photographs. Please request assistance when viewing them in the reading room.
The thirty large, unframed photographic portraits in this series were collected by artist Delouis Wilson in thrift and flea markets chiefly in the South. All are portraits of African American individuals, couples, and families, almot all taken in studio settings between the 1890s and 1940. The only true fully-developed black-and-white photograph in the collection was taken outside in what appears to be a rural location. The rest are crayon enlargement photographs, mounted on convex card stock and touched up by the portrait studios with ink, chalk, pastel, and other pigments.
A handful of prints are marked on the backs with negative numbers, measurements, or other studio codes. Only one studio or photographer's name appears (Thame), but no location is known for this or any other image, with one exception: a portrait of a woman which bears the name "Mary Mills," and includes a street address but no city or state.
This series comprises a series of 27 journals kept by Delouis Wilson from 1977 to 2008 which document her early student years, her work and career experiences, personal relationships, travels abroad to Europe and in the U.S., and life in Durham, N.C. The journals also contain many small sketches, colorful drawings, and doodles, as well as travel itineraries, poems and other creative writing, personal memos, and addresses and phone numbers. Loose items include some correspondence, postcards, and ephemera. Items found in the inside covers have been separated from their volumes and rehoused for preservation purposes in the same folder; most items in specific locations have been kept in position. The journals are currently closed to use by donor request.
Other items in the Papers series include an engagement calendar (1986-1987); a calendar organizer with wallet photographs of family, personal memorabilia, and sections for gardening, movies, recipes, and other notes (circa 1996-2000); an Atlanta School of Art course catalog and art class notebooks; loose pages of writings and notes; and a few photocopied black-and-white photographs of Delouis as a child and as a young woman.
