Florence Barber Diary, 1902, 1901
No full textThis diary was formerly described as an unattributed diary and entitled: Diary (Portsmouth, Va.), 1901, but has now been attributed to Florence Barber of Norfolk, Virginia. In brief daily entries she talks about the weather, chores, and social life, trips to town, church, attending meetings, etc. In August she went to visit churches and schools in Georgia and Alabama, like Atlanta University and Spelman College, both historically black schools. She also mentions teaching music, attending educational meetings in Portsmouth and being elected president of the local YMCA. September 3 is the last entry in this diary.Research conducted by William and Mary students in 2011 pointed to Florence Barber as the owner and author of this diary. Their research also corrected that the diary was actually from 1902, not 1901 and that the author lived in Norfolk, not Portsmouth, Virginia. The diary was transcribed and made available online in 2012.For a more detailed description from staff as well as description and excerpts from the diary provided by the seller, please see digital item:

Stability of thermoelastic contact for a rectangular elastic block sliding against a rigid wall
No full textIn this note, we determine the stability boundary for the thermoelastic contact of a rectangular elastic block sliding against a rigid wall in the presence of a pressure-dependent thermal contact resistance. This geometry can be seen as intermediate between the idealized ‘Aldo’ rod model and continuum solutions for the elastic half-plane.The solution is obtained by comparing the expression for the perturbed boundary condition including frictional heating with that for purely static loading, already solved by Yeo and Barber (1995). The critical sliding speed is obtained as a function of the temperature difference imposed between the wall and the free end.In most cases, frictional heating tends to destabilize the system. However, for certain forms of the resistance-pressure law, the opposite conclusion is reached and the system can be stable for all sliding speeds

Albert W. Barber Letter : April 10, 1863
No full textAlbert W. Barber writes to brother William and sister Malvina, detailing that since he last wrote the men have been on the move, at times mingling with the 2nd, 8th, 17th, 18th, 20th, and 22nd Michigan Regiments. He acknowledges that William may have to fight under the Conscription Law, and discusses the common privileges he is deprived of as a soldier. Barber notes his opinions on African Americans, and details that while he wishes enslaved people were free, he does not want them in the North. Barber continues by writing that James has a cold and Kin Shepardson is unwell, while Jude, George Cornell, Luther, Woods, Philip, Samuel Carlile, A. Denel, and M. Stuck are in good health. Barber continues by noting that he hopes Ralph will rejoin the men soon. Barber concludes by noting what James and himself ate for supper, and how much of their pay they are sending home
