Mission

The Company of the Redwood Library and Athenæum is an educational and cultural institution that remains true to its 1747 Colonial charter establishing a library for “propagating Virtue, Knowledge and useful Learning.”

Purpose

Reflecting its history and traditions, the Redwood Library and Athenæum is a library, a museum, and a historic building. Each of these aspects of its identity is key to the institution’s future, as well as to understanding its past. In order to encourage public access to its building, programs, and collections, the Library actively pursues policies and opportunities to increase its presence in the national and international educational and cultural environment by expanding, cataloging, preserving, and disseminating its collections and programs.

The Redwood Library and Athenæum celebrated the 265th anniversary of its Charter on August 24, 2012. From its incorporation in 1747 by a group of 46 colonists to its standing today as the oldest continuously operating lending library in its original building in America, the Redwood remains dedicated to fulfilling its Charter, “having nothing in view but the good of Mankind.”

The Redwood has had a terrific 266th year, and the accomplishments of our hard-working staff and volunteers are a source of great pride to all of us. Executive Director Jen Tuleja is moving ahead with so much energy and enthusiasm that she makes writing my letter for the Redwood’s Annual Report a daunting task!

Brenda Konopelko, the Library’s new Director of Finance and Administration, has brought order to the Redwood’s financial systems. The Children’s Library is enjoying a renaissance under the vibrant leadership of Melissa Hurley, our Children’s/Young Adult Librarian. The beautifully renovated Carol and Les Ballard Annex is a pleasure to visit, and the Library hums with activity and children’s laughter during story times and other programs. In the handsome office spaces provided by the Helen Elizabeth Peirce Prince “Gallery to the Garden” project, Special Collections Cataloger Phoebe Bean is working hard on the Redwood/John Carter Brown Library joint digitization project. Assistant Director Maria Bernier has brought back the many Special Collections volumes which were being stored off-site and has reinstalled

them in the newly-renovated Alletta Morris McBean Wing. Such efforts all serve to enable our members and visitors to rediscover the treasures of the Redwood.

These successes represent just the tip of the iceberg. The Redwood has installed a professional donor database with funding generously provided by an anonymous donor. The 2012 Gala, A Revolutionary Soirée, was a wonderful evening and a great success – as was its featured dance revue, performed by a lively group of talented Redwood members. With the invaluable help of Caroline Considine, Director of Institutional Advancement, and the leadership of our Annual Fund Co-Chairs, Lisa Lewis, David Elwell and Esmond Harmsworth, the Redwood’s most important fundraiser exceeded its goal of raising $265,000 in honor of the Library’s 265th year. We are deeply grateful to our members and donors who heeded the call and who so clearly understand that unrestricted gifts are the lifeblood of an institution with little earned revenue to support it.

This all augers well for the ultimate challenges facing Jen and the board: defining the future endowment needs of the Company of the Redwood Library & Athenæum, and plotting a suitable course to shepherd the Library through the years ahead. I believe that with our remarkable staff, board, volunteers and supporters, we are in a strong position to do just that.

Edwin G. Fischer, M.D.President, Board of Directors

The Redwood Library & Athenæum is a treasure! In my first year as Executive Director, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Redwood shareholders, members, donors and friends. It is a privilege to represent the Redwood in the Newport community, where many historic institutions are having important conversations regarding the impact of cultural organizations at the local, state and national levels. The Redwood Library & Athenæum is part of a greater story. Pieces of that story are beginning to emerge and a movement is afoot to discover more.

This past year provided opportunities for discovery and renewal. With upgrades to our facility complete, we were able to bring back our Special Collections from storage and house them in a secure climate-controlled environment. New office space and an updated technology infrastructure for our cataloging staff enable them to digitize and provide descriptive access to our collections. This availability is a key part of our mission; it allows members and scholars to discover the Redwood’s treasures for themselves and then share their findings with the greater community.

The improvements at the Ballard building created a very special Children’s Library space and additional offices for our administrative staff. These and other advances show the confidence of donors and foundations; such investments are essential for making the Redwood a viable institution in the 21st century. I am also deeply indebted to the dedication and expertise of the board, staff, and volunteers. It is an honor to work with all of the individuals who devote their time and care to this great institution.

Looking ahead, it is in the spirit of community that I lead the Redwood forward. The nation’s history is embedded in the story of the Redwood and in the local history of Newport and Aquidneck Island. The Redwood Library was founded in 1747 by a group of learned men who built an intellectual community space in the spirit of the early republic. Many founders and members of the Redwood went on to great success, and they left behind correspondence, objects and art that documented their fascinating lives. The Redwood’s collections reflect the unique richness of its history, and continue to add value to the members and supporters who rediscover its resources anew with each visit.

Throughout its history, many individuals have supported the Redwood and have made a lasting impact. I hope you will join us as we venture forth to explore the meaning and importance of that 266-year history. In the spirit of the athenæum model, help us celebrate our blended identity of museum, library and community gathering space. We are grateful for your support and care along the way. Here is to another 100 years!

Jennifer TulejaExecutive Director

Krusinski was considered the first great European historian of Persia (Iran) and Afghanistan. Other acquisitions include A Treatise on Consumption

of the Lungs, by Edward Barry, London,1727; The History of Henri de La Tour d’Auvergne, Marshal-General of France, by Andrew Michael Ramsey, London, 1735; Court and City Register: For the year 1775; and The Practice of Conveyancing, by Job Mill, London, 1745.

A Collection of Art History and Exhibition VolumesThe Redwood continues to receive many donations from generous members and supporters, including various art catalog raisonnés, exhibition catalogs, and monographs. Many of this year’s exceptional donations are from member Laura Breyer of Chicago.

Exhibitions

To Arrive Where We StartedConceived of and curated by conceptual artist Peter Eudenbach, this multimedia exhibition employed spaces throughout the Library and its adjacent Summer House from July 2012 through June 2013. The installation presented objects in thought-provoking juxtapositions and featured

a variety of objects, including a mirror installed in the exterior pediment of the building, a ship model suspended above the Reading Room, and the Library’s original key displayed above the skylight in the Harrison Room. The exhibition was made possible by grants from the Office of Research at Old Dominion University, the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, and the Rhode Island Foundation.

The Holy Bible The Redwood’s first edition King James Bible was on display in the Harrison Room in March and April, 2012, as were several other objects featured in the Life of the Mind Salon titled “Treasures of the Redwood.” Other pieces on display included a detailed journal of a young French aristocrat’s perilous voyages to America, titled Relation d’un Voyage fait dans les Îles

de l’Amerique…1782, and a first edition signed volume of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s anti-slavery novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852). These exhibitions were extremely popular and were seen by hundreds of curious visitors.

In the fiscal year 2012-2013, the Redwood Library & Athenæum had great success with programs, events, charitable donations and planned improvements.

1 With the generous support of the Alletta Morris McBean Charitable Trust, the McBean Wing was completely renovated to provide a stronger second floor, improved safety systems, and refinished interior spaces. Compact shelving was installed to more than double the Special Collections storage capacity, and a new office and restroom were added to the second floor. In addition, the roofline and exterior elevation were remodeled to more closely match the architectural style of earlier additions.

1 Thousands of Special Collections volumes were returned from off-site storage and installed in the reopened McBean Wing.

1 A beautiful Gallery to the Garden was constructed in the space between the McBean Wing and the Van Alen Gallery, thanks to a generous gift from the Prince family in honor of Helen Elizabeth Peirce Prince.

1 With ongoing funding from Mr. and Mrs. Les Ballard, the Ballard Annex has undergone extensive upgrades. The newly reopened Children’s Library welcomes our younger members, and the office spaces throughout the Annex are being completely renovated.

1 Major technology upgrades were made possible by grants from twelve individual donors and foundations. The Library implemented a new, fully integrated system with many significant improvements, including wireless access to the internet for members and staff, a new server, and fiber optic connection between buildings.

1 The Redwood added an exciting new technology, 3M eBooks, enabling members to download a wide variety of books from anywhere in the world that offers wireless access. Electronic magazine access also joined the list of member benefits.

1 Five replacement copies of volumes long missing from the Original Collection were acquired during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The Original Collection was purchased in 1747 with £500 sterling donated by Abraham Redwood. It consisted of 751 titles, some of which went missing after the Library was occupied by British forces during the Revolutionary War. The Redwood has purchased replacement copies as they have become available, using funds donated by members and supporters for this purpose.

1 Many generous tribute and memorial gifts were given to the Library to honor the friends and families of the donors.

1 The Library collaborated with other Newport cultural institutions including the Newport Art Museum, the Newport Historical Society, the Preservation Society of Newport County, and the Newport Restoration Foundation in a project known as ‘Newportal’, which will create shared digital access to these institutions’ collections for the first time.

1 A partnership with the John Carter Brown Library successfully led to the cataloging and scanning of 50 rare manuscripts and other documents related to early Rhode Island history.

1 A year-long conceptual art installation by Peter Eudenbach, titled “To Arrive Where We Started,” opened in July 2012. The exhibition presented themes of travel, exploration, access, and thresholds, and employed spaces in both the Library and the Summer House. A winter film series featuring films related to the installation was also held.

1 Twenty Life of the Mind Salon programs were featured on Thursday evenings in the fall and spring, inviting members and visitors to share lively occasions of learning and conversation. Speakers included prominent artists, authors, physicians, historians, scientists, and journalists. In total, over 1,000 people attended.

1 A successful history seminar to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Rhode Island Colonial Charter was held in June. Roger Williams: The Wall between Church and State featured three speakers, a cocktail hour, and dinner at the Viking Hotel.

1 Eight musical performances were held in the Harrison Room, featuring soloists and ensembles playing a wide variety of selections.

1 The Library participated in Newport Gallery Night, a program that welcomes visitors to the art installations at the Redwood and many other local art venues for one evening each month.

1 Dozens of Children’s Library programs were enjoyed by hundreds of children and their caregivers, ranging from weekly story times to a robust schedule of summer reading program activities.

1 Copies and digital downloads of select Redwood paintings, maps, and prints were made available for purchase via the Library’s online store at http://www.redwoodlibrarystore.org/.

1 Two Member Orientations were held to welcome new members to the Library.

1 The Library is grateful to the many volunteers who shared their time and talent throughout the year. A special note of gratitude is offered to Jack Sweeney, who manages the Library’s database, and to Wayne Robinson, who is cataloging its Shareholder history.

1 Brenda Konopelko was appointed as Director of Finance and Administration.

There is a building in Newport,

Rhode Island, at the head of

stylish Bellevue Avenue, which is

so different from the surrounding

structures, and with such an air

of studious quiet brooding over

it, that the eye is at once arrested,

and the attention charmed by

its fair proportions. Its model is

that of a Grecian Temple, with

additional side wings, in harmony

with the main building, which

possesses an air of antiquity. This

is the ‘Redwood Library,’ which

may fairly claim to be a National

Institution, from the wide influence

it exerted at a time when art and

letters in America were in their

infancy, and from the celebrated

names connected with it.

Osmond Tiffany, Esq. in a paper read

before the Maryland Historical Society,

eighth Annual Report of the Directors of

the Redwood Library and Athenaeum,

Charles Bird King Society: Planned GivingNewport native and renowned artist Charles Bird King (1785-1862) holds a special place in the Redwood Library’s long list of dedicated supporters. Described by President John Quincy Adams as “an ingenious, thinking man, with a faculty of conversing upon almost any topic,” King lived in New York, London and Washington, DC, but it was Newport that was dearest to his heart. Over the years, King contributed handsomely to the Library, giving money and books as well as scores of paintings. Upon his death in 1862, he gave the Redwood his own personal library, volumes of bound engravings, a significant sum of money, and 75 additional paintings. The Redwood is deeply indebted to Charles Bird King and to all those who have helped it thrive for more than two and a half centuries by contributing to the endowment. It is fitting that the Library commends those who have made – or

intend to make – such gifts by including them in the Charles Bird King Society. The following donors have honored the Library and helped to sustain its mission with bequests, planned gifts, or gifts to the endowment, thus joining the membership of the Charles Bird King Society. We are extremely grateful for their support.

It was through the generosity of its donors that the Redwood Library was conceived and built over 266 years ago, and that same generous spirit enables it to thrive well into its third century. The following individuals, foundations and corporations contributed gifts, grants, and pledges beyond the annual share or household membership dues to support the Library’s operations, collections, programs and exhibitions. The Redwood is deeply grateful to these benefactors, as its sustainability tomorrow is built upon the generosity of those here today.
