King Penguin Rookery by Peter Harrison
No full textpainting6” x 17”ExcellentAn ornithologist, artist and author, Peter Harrison is widely considered to be the world’s foremost authority on seabirds. Often credited with having seen more seabirds than anyone, past or present, Peter has written and illustrated more than a dozen books. Seabirds: An Identification Guide is considered the most authoritative text on the subject. Peter has traveled the world for research, and as a leader of expeditionary travelers. He is an active conservationist and has been honored by Queen Elizabeth II with the title Member of the British Empire for services to natural history. He is also a cofounder of Zegrahm Expeditions and a Fellow of The Explorers Club. He painted the art work for the 1993 bookmark to demonstrate that “penguin colonies are usually bursting at the seams. I wanted to convey this face by having penguins spill off the edges of the bookmark.” Donated in 1993 by the artist.See above
King's Chapel
No full textGeneral view of the nave, looking towards the apse with Palladian window; Harrison was an American architect of English birth. Born to Quaker parents, he probably trained in York with William Etty and his son John Etty. Harrison had two advantages in the colonies: first-hand knowledge of English and European architecture and a unique library. His personal library was impressive for the American colonies. The motif of paired columns that he used in the nave of King's Chapel derived from Nicolas Nicole’s church of Ste Madeleine, Besançon, which Harrison must have seen under construction in 1748. These wooden columns with Corinthian capitals were hand-carved by William Burbeck and his apprentices in 1758. King's Chapel was originally an Anglican church.

Viola M. Harrison letter to Lucile Atcherson, August 14, 1914
No full textOn August 14, 1914, the executive secretary of the Nebraska Woman Suffrage Association, Viola M. Harrison, sent this letter to Lucile Atcherson, a suffragist in central Ohio and executive secretary of the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association. Harrison wrote to Atcherson to confirm that the Nebraska Woman Suffrage Association's state banner, which had been on loan with the FCWSA, had arrived safely in Lincoln, Nebraska. Harrison also congratulated Atcherson on a successful petition event in Ohio, and expressed her hopes for both Ohio and Nebraska to achieve equal suffrage for women.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

Harrison Forman Diary China, January-May 1942
No full textThis diary written by Harrison Forman begins on January 10, 1942, just one month after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in the United States, meanwhile, the Second Sino-Japanese War continues in China. On horseback, Forman rides through the deserted streets of Changsha (capital of Hunan province, southeastern China) and reports civilians returning home as the Japanese retreat to the north. Forman travels to Hongshan where he witnessed the cremated remains of Japanese soldiers. On January 11, 1942, Forman interviews Jsueh Yueh (Xue Yue), the Chinese Nationalist General and Commander-in-Chief responsible for the victories over the Japanese at the Second and Third Battles for Changsha. General Xue Yue explained the tactics which contributed to success. Forman then travels the Hsiang River by boat, then by train to Hengyang (south central Hunan province, 110 miles south of Changsha, seat of the Nationalist Party military government) and Kwielin (now Guilin) in the northeastern Zhuang Autonomous region of Guangxi southern China. Forman describes supply trucks arriving from Linchow (now Lanzhou) delivering goods for soldiers and civilians. According to Forman, merchants had begun to stockpile goods after the fall of I-ch’ang (now Yichang, an area heavily bombed and taken by the Japanese Army in 1940) and in fear of fighting in Rangoon (now Yangon, Myanmar (Burma)). Forman mentions Kunming in southwestern China, where the U.S. Major General Claire L. Chennault, founder of the volunteer air squadron the Flying Tigers, were guarding against the Japanese forces. Chinese Nationalist Government officials are mentioned, such as T.S. Tsiang (Tsiang Tingfu, historian and diplomat), Wang Wen-hao (Weng Wen-ho, geologist, educator, and Minister of Economy, 1938-1947), and Wu Ting-chang (Wu Dingchang, Minister of Economic Affairs, 1935). Other notable figures mentioned are, Feng Yachsiang (Feng Yuxiang, Christian General and Chiang Kai-shek supporter), Quo Tai-chi (Dr. Quo Tai-chi, first Chinese representative to Britain, 1932-1940; named foreign minister by Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, 1941), Kenji Doihara (“Lawrence of Manchuria,” general of Imperial Japanese Army who invaded Manchuria), Emily “Mickey” Hahn (journalist and author), and Charles Boxer (local head of the British Army Intelligence). Forman follows Wendell L. Willkie, U.S. Republican presidential candidate (opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt), on his trip to China and mentions a list of notable figures, such as Chu Shao-liang (Zhu Shaoliang, general in the National Revolution Army of the Republic of China), Hu Tsung-nan (Hu Zongnan, trusted general of Chiang Kai-shek), Captain Chiang Wei-kuo, Generals Shi Liang-yu, Li Chen-shen, Chang Tso-lin (Zhang Zuolin, warlord of Manchuria, defeated by the Nationalist Kuomintang in 1928), and Hsu Liang-yo. Forman ends his diary at the close of Willkie’s visit, writing about his press colleagues, Francis Lee and Peter Kiang. He tells of the story “Phanton Legions” in the London Daily Express, written by Tommy Chao.The diaries are part of the Harrison Forman Papers 1931-1974 housed at the Special Collections & University Archives, University of Oregon Libraries. UWM Libraries received the dairies on a loan from the Special Collections & University Archives at the University of Oregon Libraries and digitized them to accompany the digital collection of Forman's photographs.

Harrison Forman Diary, Bali, March 1956
No full textHarrison Forman, photographer and journalist, writes in this diary about his trip to the islands of Bali, Sumbawa, Komodo, and Flores in Indonesia. He begins his journey in Benoa on the island of Bali, describing the people and landscape. Forman writes briefly about his visit with the Belgian artist, Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur and his wife. He travels by boat to the island of Sumbawa and talks with Hilmi Oesman about vaccinating horses against anthrax. Forman writes briefly about Mount Tambora and Mount Rinjani volcanoes, and lists names of anthropologists who have studied Indonesian history and culture, such as Peter Goethals, Violet Mary Clifton, Francis Henry Hill Guillemard, and Augustus Henry Keane. Forman describes the landscape as he travels across the island to Dompu, then interviews Dr. Georg Poch who was one of the first doctors to come to Sumbawa three years earlier. He notes his observations about the people and their customs, such as chewing betel nut (a seed of the Areca palm), most people being barefoot, and the absence of veils typically worn by women in a predominantly Muslim community. In Bima on the eastern coast of Sumbawa, Forman meets with the Chief of Police who assigns a police officer to travel with Forman to the island of Komodo to see the infamous Komodo dragon, the largest living species of lizard. Forman suspects he's being swindled by the police officer and the boat captain who take him to the island. It takes several days on the boat, sailing with no wind, to get to Komodo Island, where Forman finally sees the elusive lizards. They sail to Labuan Bajo, a fishing town on the western coast of Flores Island, where Forman meets a Chinese shop owner who takes him by motorboat, then by truck to Ruteng. At the end of the diary, Forman writes several pages about the Komodo dragon and crocodiles, quoting from the book "Reptiles of the Pacific World" written by Arthur Loveridge in 1946.The diaries are part of the Harrison Forman Papers 1931-1974 housed at the Special Collections & University Archives, University of Oregon Libraries.
