Lutz Weltmann Correspondence Collection. 1923-1969 Bulk dates: 1930-1955
No full textThe Lutz Weltmann Correspondence Collection largely holds professional correspondence from others to Lutz Weltmann, a critic, publisher, author and teacher. Such correspondence often references various literary projects of Weltmann's or of the correspondents. One letter by him includes a brief curriculum vitae.Lutz Weltmann was born on February 15, 1901 in Elbing (now Elblag, Poland). He attended the universities of Berlin and Freiburg, receiving his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Freiburg in 1924. From 1924-1933 he was the theater and literature critic of Rudolf Mosse newspapers in Berlin, including the Berliner Volkszeitung, but also contributed as a freelance writer for the Frankfurter General-Anzeiger and the Kölnische Zeitung, among others. From 1927-1933 he was co-editor of the monthly Die Literatur (later titled Das literarische Echo). In 1934 he authored some articles for the Jüdisches Jahrbuch on Spinoza and in 1936 he lectured on Samuel Cooper for the Jüdischer Kulturbund and produced Jizchok Leib Perez's Die goldene Kette for the Kulturbund's theater. In the course of his work he came to know many other authors, critics and others in the field of literature and theater.After emigrating to England in 1939, he served in the British Pioneer Corps from 1940-1943. The following year he earned his teaching diploma in London in 1944 and then taught at various schools in Kent, London and Essex. He also wrote from England for West German newspapers after the war. During this time he was assistant editor of the series The Goethe Year 1749-1949- Das Goethe-Jahr 1749-1949, celebrating the bi-centenary of the birth of Goethe, and wrote a book on Kasimir Edschmid. He also wrote three unpublished works on Christopher Fry, T.S. Eliot, and on Shakespeare.All letters on the list "Briefe on Lutz Weltmann" not previously digitized were consolidated into this collectionProcesseddigitize

"Y'all come and have fun": discovering a New Jersey country and western music scene in a box of postcards
No full textSeveral years ago, Rutgers University's Special Collections and University Archives was given a checkbox containing fifty-six postcards advertising country and western music shows at venues around New Jersey. The postcards, primarily from the 1960s, promoted shows featuring Grand Ole Opry stars like Wanda Jackson, Hank Thompson, and Elton Britt. Preliminary research revealed that the postcards touted performances by regional and local musicians, as well. A closer look at the cards began to expose how a small, hyper-local ephemeral collection could bring to light and contribute to a larger history; in this case, a once thriving but little explored New Jersey country and western music scene. The research that forms this article focuses on one venue, the Copa Club in the city of Secaucus, and its owners, brothers and musicians Shorty and Smokey Warren, as a specific case study. This collection of postcards, like so much ephemeral material in archives, could have remained undervalued and under-researched. In this case, a close consideration set forth a journey that included research in local archives and interviews with scene participants. As a result, this article explores the past of an important musical genre that evolved along with social changes in the United States. This piece contributes to the scholarship around uses and value of ephemera, as well as scholarship that continues to challenge the southern origin story of country music and examine vital locales of country music outside the South.Peer reviewe
Cabin in the Pines: Albert Music Hall and constructions of a Pine Barrens musical tradition
No full textAlbert Music Hall is an outpost of bluegrass, folk, and country music in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, offering hours of live music every Saturday night. It has formally been in existence since the 1970s under the auspices of the Pinelands Cultural Society, but it traces its roots back to the 1950s, when brothers Joe and George Albert started hosting informal musical gatherings at their Pines fox hunting cabin, known in the area as the Homeplace. What started as locals playing old-time and country music at a rustic cabin deep in the woods has evolved into a more formal venue that features musicians from around New Jersey and beyond. Albert Music Hall has persisted as an island of an older, more rural, and isolated Pines in an industrialized, urbanized state. Through an examination of the language, material culture, and music of the venue, this paper considers questions and constructions of authenticity in relation to notions of what a true Pine Barrens musical experience might be for Albert Music Hall audiences and musicians.Peer reviewe
Going against the archival grain: case studies of pop culture archives of a music scene, regional zines, and local beer
No full textPopular culture collecting in academic special collections and archives is sometimes still viewed within the institution as a challenge to traditional collection development, which has tended to emphasize the mainstream and enshrine privilege and hegemonic structures. This is especially the case when the cultures and media emphasized in such collecting might be categorized as being counter-cultural, DIY, or somehow ‘other.’ This article consists of three case studies that emphasize recently developed popular culture-based collections at Rutgers University’s Special Collections and University Archives that focus on voices and communities outside archival norms of collecting: the New Brunswick Music Scene Archive, the New Jersey Regional Zine Collection, and the New Jersey Beer Collection. An emphasis on how faculty and staff have developed these collections by working with participants and creators outside mainstream popular culture leads to examples of how faculty and staff have engaged in critical pedagogy and outreach, particularly among students. Woven throughout are examples of challenges faculty and staff have faced around institutional acceptance, inclusivity, and cultural sensitivities along with work to overcome the challenges. The article concludes by considering future popular culture collection-building endeavors and engagement among students and community members.Peer reviewe
Forsteritic olivine in EH (enstatite) chondrite meteorites: A record of nebular, metamorphic, and crystal‐lattice diffusion effects
No full textAbstract
The occurrence of forsteritic olivine in EH enstatite chondrites is indicative of bulk disequilibrium. In MgO‐rich magmatic systems, forsterite can either crystallize as a liquidus phase or be produced during peritectic melting of enstatite. Because diffusion of divalent cations through forsterite is relatively rapid, it records peak melting (i.e., chondrule‐forming events) and is also sensitive to subsequent metamorphism in the EH chondrite parent body. Here, we report the major and minor element geochemistry of olivine in EH chondrites across petrologic types 3 and 4. In all cases, olivine meets the technical definition of forsterite (>90 mole% Mg

‐poor varieties. At higher petrologic type, minor element concentrations become restricted and compositions approach pure forsterite, while grain sizes reduce strongly with peak metamorphic temperatures. These changes reflect diffusive equilibration with enstatitic groundmass and dissolution reaction with free silica. The global geochemical distribution of forsteritic olivine in EH chondrites is, perhaps unexpectedly, more similar to those in low‐FeO type I chondrules and associated objects in carbonaceous chondrites (CCs), rather than equivalent objects in ordinary (H, L, LL), low‐FeO (or HH), or Kakangari (K) chondrites. Among achondrites, there is similarity between pure forsterite in aubrites and EH4 chondrites arising due to subsolidus equilibration in both settings, while Cr

Petrogenesis of main group pallasite meteorites based on relationships among texture, mineralogy, and geochemistry
No full textAbstract Main group pallasite meteorites are samples of a single early magmatic planetesimal, dominated by metal and olivine but containing accessory chromite, sulfide, phosphide, phosphates, and rare phosphoran olivine. They represent mixtures of core and mantle materials, but the environment of formation is poorly understood, with a quiescent core–mantle boundary, violent core–mantle mixture, or surface mixture all recently suggested. Here, we review main group pallasite data sets and petrologic characteristics, and present new observations on the low‐MnO pallasite Brahin that contains abundant fragmental olivine, but also rounded and angular olivine and potential evidence of sulfide–phosphide liquid immiscibility. A reassessment of the literature shows that low‐MnO and high‐FeO subgroups preferentially host rounded olivine and low‐temperature P 2 O 5 ‐rich phases such as the Mg‐phosphate farringtonite and phosphoran olivine. These phases form after metal and silicate reservoirs back‐react during decreasing temperature after initial separation, resulting in oxidation of phosphorus and chromium. Farringtonite and phosphoran olivine have not been found in the common subgroup PMG , which are mechanical mixtures of olivine, chromite with moderate Al 2 O 3 contents, primitive solid metal, and evolved liquid metal. Lower concentrations of Mn in olivine of the low‐MnO PMG subgroup, and high concentrations of Mn in low‐Al 2 O 3 chromites, trace the development and escape of sulfide‐rich melt in pallasites and the partially chalcophile behavior for Mn in this environment. Pallasites with rounded olivine indicate that the core–mantle boundary of their planetesimal may not be a simple interface but rather a volume in which interactions between metal, silicate, and other components occur
Chromite in main group pallasite meteorites: Accessory mineral tracing planetesimal differentiation
No full textAbstract Main group pallasite meteorites (PMG) are samples of an early, highly differentiated magmatic planetesimal dominated by olivine and metal‐sulfide‐phosphide assemblages with accessory chromite among other phases. This mineralogy reflects mantle‐ and core‐related reservoirs, but the relative contributions of each and the overall petrogenesis are obscured by high degrees of protolith melting. Here, we present new data on the chemistry of chromite in these meteorites and review previous datasets. The purely lithophile elements Mg and Al partition into chromite via (Mg,Fe)(Al,Cr) 2 O 4 and mainly reflect interactions with olivine and basaltic melt, respectively. Chromite cores are virtually always more aluminous than rims, and while MgO contents were likely reset during slow cooling, their Al 2 O 3 contents are more robust and were largely set during the period of silicate magmatism. Main group pallasite chromites display bimodality in Al 2 O 3 contents, with peak concentrations at ~7.7 wt% and below 6 wt%, which is unlike any other achondrite chromite population. Some chromites have very low Al 2 O 3 contents (~0.01 wt%) due to formation in the absence of silicate melt, that is, via exsolution of Cr from cooling liquid metal. High‐, low‐, and very low‐Al 2 O 3 chromites in these meteorites broadly reflect relict, prograde, and retrograde periods of planetesimal heating followed by cooling. The Al 2 O 3 contents of the chromites in many other achondrites and equilibrated chondrites are similar to the higher values in pallasites, with most greater than 3 wt%. This suggests that meteoritic chromite is a significant sink for 26 Al during its life as a heat source for planetesimal differentiation. To first order, it may be responsible for ~25%–50% (i.e., about one third) of heating in partially depleted mantles.Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003130Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung https://doi.org/10.13039/100005156Vrije Universiteit Brussel https://doi.org/10.13039/501100004418Belgian Federal Science Policy Office https://doi.org/10.13039/50110000274
