Charles T. Webber Letters to Wilbur H. Siebert
No full textArtist Charles T. Webber (1825-1911) sent these two letters in response to inquires made by Wilbur H. Siebert, a history professor at the Ohio State University. Siebert (1866-1961) requested a photograph of Webber's painting The Underground Railroad for his book The Underground Railroad from Slavery to Freedom (1898). In the first letter, dated November 10, 1892, is two pages in length and measures 4.8 by 7.8 inches (12.19 by 19.81 cm). Webber informs Siebert that he expects to finish the painting within three months, but cannot send a photograph until it is completed. He also refers to Siebert's "circular," a list of questions sent to those who had participated in efforts to assist fugitive slaves. The second, one-page letter from September 20, 1894 measures 5.5 by 8.3 (13.97 by 21.08 cm). In it, Webber apologizes for the delay in providing a photograph, but indicates that he will soon have the painting in his home, where he could take a good photograph of it. Webber was a native of New York state. He lived in Cincinnati from 1860 until his death in 1911. Webber created hundreds of works, including portraits, landscapes, genre subjects, and historical scenes. He belonged to many Cincinnati arts organizations and was considered the "dean" of the Cincinnati art community in the nineteenth century. Siebert was a professor of history at the Ohio State University from 1902 until 1935. Between 1891 and 1935, he amassed a wealth of material relating to the Underground Railroad. In the 1940s, he donated the materials to the Ohio Historical Society, together with records pertaining to his two other research interests, American Loyalists and East Florida

Webber Family Papers, 1895-1976
No full textThe collection contains ledgers and maps of the timberland business owned by several generations of the Webber family. The ledgers include primarily correspondence and financial information. The maps provide information about the family\u27s land holdings in northern Maine.
The ledgers are arranged by the company function they represent: executive, financial and production. The collection begins with copies of outgoing correspondence, 1955-1960, from G. Peirce Webber; much of it concerns acknowledgments of rent received for campsites on Webber land. Copies of deeds, permits, etc., follow, along with a scrapbook of newspaper clippings, 1903-1907, concerning land and lumbering.
The journals, 1928-1965, which make up a large part of the collection often list C.J. Webber as agent, presumably acting for other members of the Webber family in the management of their land holdings. C.P. Webber, Franklin R. Webber, R.B. Webber, M.P. Heald, C.J. Webber, T. Roscoe Webber, Anne W. Chase and Lucy R. Webber are all mentioned in various volumes. One of the journals records information about the estate of Charles P. Webber.
The maps are arranged chronologically with a section of undated maps at the end. Some of the maps were compiled by Charles P. Webber.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/findingaids/1060/thumbnail.jp

Yet across the country, these funds are financing companies that privatize their own workers’ jobs.
