SUMMARY:2nd Saturday Civil War Series: Faces of Civil War Nurses - Portraits\, Photography\, and the Making of Caregiving History\, with Ron Coddington
DESCRIPTION:In Person in the Lincoln Gallery at ACFL&MH \n\n\n\nZoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9370579279Meeting ID: 937 057 9279 \n\n\n\nPortrait photographs of women who served as caregivers offer rare\, powerful evidence of how Americans understood nursing during the Civil War. These images—made possible by rapidly evolving photographic technology—capture not only grit and determination\, but intention: how women presented themselves\, how they wished to be seen\, and how caregiving entered the visual record of war. By studying these portraits alongside contemporary writing and context\, this presentation explores what these women wore\, why they served\, and how photography helps us rethink who qualified as a Civil War nurse. \n\n\n\nRon Coddington began collecting Civil War–era portrait photography as a teenager\, launching a lifelong pursuit to uncover images of men and women and tell their stories. His research has appeared in The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, and a series of books published by Johns Hopkins University Press\, including Faces of Civil War Nurses\, which inspired this traveling exhibit. His most recent book is Gettysburg Faces (Gettysburg Publishing). Ron is the editor and publisher of Military Images\, a quarterly magazine founded in 1979 and dedicated to the study and preservation of historic photographs. He has more than 40 years of experience as a journalist at USA TODAY\, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\, The San Jose Mercury News\, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.

SUMMARY:Embracing Our Differences: "We Humans" at 70
DESCRIPTION:Join us for community conversations about diversity & inclusion! \n\n\n\n“We Humans” was an exhibit on race and racism developed by two former curators of anthropology at the Carnegie Museum. Through punchy rhetoric informed by then-current science\, the exhibit encouraged workers\, students\, and citizens to question their assumptions about race and to value the lives and contributions of all people. It debuted in downtown Pittsburgh in 1955. \n\n\n\nTo mark the seventieth anniversary of the debut of “We Humans\,” scholar Deirdre Madeleine Smith has organized an exhibit sharing and interpreting its history on view at Hillman Library on the University of Pittsburgh campus through July 2026. Tonight\, Smith will offer an overview of “We Humans” at 70\, and invite conversation about what the ambitions and shortcomings of “We Humans” have to teach audiences in Pittsburgh today. \n\n\n\nAudiences are encouraged to view “We Humans” at 70 before this evening’s discussion. The exhibit is on the 3rd floor of Hillman Library (accessible by stairs or elevator) at 3960 Forbes Ave in Pittsburgh. Hours for the Hillman Library can be found here. Read more about this exhibit in Carnegie Museums Magazine. \n\n\n\nDeirdre Madeline Smith is a Teaching Assistant Professor of Art History and Museum Studies at University of Pittsburgh with a joint appointment as a curator at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. \n\n\n\nRegistration is appreciated – please click here to register.
