John L. Lovell Collection
Description
An account of the resource
John L. Lovell (1825-1903) was a professional photographer. He came to Amherst in 1856 and established the Amherst Picture Gallery, the first photographic studio in Western Massachusetts. In addition to studio work, Lovell was interested in scientific photography, accompanying an Amherst College astronomical team to California in 1882, as well as photographing Connecticut Valley geological features.
His photos provide the best visual documentation from the 1860s to the 1890s of the successive transitions Amherst made from an agricultural town, to an industrial one, and finally, to a town known chiefly for its educational institutions. Moreover, Lovell’s images provide the best visual available documentation of Emily Dickinson’s community. Early images of the Dickinson houses, the streets, shops, and businesses the family knew intimately – all are found within this very important collection.
John L. Lovell Collection (ca. 1860s – ca. 1890s) can be seen in its entirety at the Jones Library. It includes negatives; 59 stereopticon views of Amherst; 40 cartes de visite; and 1200 prints. The collection includes the first surviving photos of Amherst. Subjects include Amherst and the Connecticut Valley, especially architecture, businesses, construction, etc. Biographical reviews in local newspapers of the day; advertisements for his business and other materials accompany the photographs. The cartes de visite are significant because of extensive collateral material in the manuscript collection.

Description
An account of the resource
Edgar Scott (1857-1940) was a photographer and printer in the Amherst and Northampton areas. He was born on Martha’s Vineyard and, as an Amherst resident, worked in a local hat factory. He took up photography in retirement and was an originator of the picture postcard. He specialized in photographic views of architecture and social events around the Amherst area around the turn of the century.
The bulk of the images are from about 1897 to approximately 1924. Many of his postcards have color applied to them. Beyond the images digitized here, the collection at the Scott Collection at the Jones library includes 157 5 x 7 in. glass plate negatives; 44 5x7 in. nitrate negatives; over 200 prints; c.350 picture postcards (no negatives for postcards).

New York March y(?) 5th 1759.
Sir
I have received your letter of
the 26th of February, since which date the
Carpenters will undoubtedly have very soon
arrived at Albany, as they were dispatched
from hence at the intended time.
I have advertised that the
advance money for the Battoes men should be
paid on the 20th of march instead of the 10th
(something?) as you will see by the enclosed. The
difference of time for the ox team drivers &
waggoners is so small that I have made no alteration in that.
As all the Persons who were
to enter into this service are to send their
names to you as by the first advertisements,
I think it is better you should either send a
proper Person or fix(?) on any one you may
Lt Col Bradstreet D J(?) Master General know
[page 2]
know at or near the Towns where the
advance pay is to be issued, who may be
a proper Judge, and will take care that none
may receive the advance pay but such as
appear fit for the service, and of course
are under the Captains who will have
applyed to you, they are afterwards to be
reviewed by proper officers at Albany.
Captain Lowning(?) is at present
employed in building whale Boats intended
for the service of Troops in the Transport Ships.
I would be prepared for every thing that the
Situation of the Enemy and the numbers of
His Majestys Troops which are to act this
Campaign may put in my Power to attempt,
I have named the 10th of April to press
things forward as much as I can, and I would
begin to act from the first moment that the
season(?) will permit, at the same time I am
to tell you in confidence that the time prescribed
to me from England is the first of may,
and as that will give you time for building
Battoes at Albany, for any service that may be
[page 3]
hearafter thought proper to execute(?) by the
Lake ontario, I shall be very glad that you
will be prepared for it, as you will have the
workmen with you. this will take off
a very great expence that would be incurred
in building them at Boston, Capt Lowning(?) may
finish what he is about there, and then I think
the sooner he comes to Albany the better.
I have given a warrant to you
on Mr Mortier(?) for £3000, that he may give
you the necessary credit for paying the advance
Pay to the Battoes men vea.(?) and as Mr.
Normandy has acquainted me he waited for
your orders, I send him to you with this which
will be quicker than the Post, and give you
time for sending proper People to the Towns
where the Battoes Men yea(?) are to repair.
The Purchases of oxen & Horses
must yet remain some little time for no money
is come, you will however be prepared and
at a certainty where to have them when
called for.
I send you a copy of another
advertisement I have though proper to
[page 4]
to publish, that the country people may
not suffer through any Ignorance of not
knowing where to apply
Mr Mortier(?) has just now
Lent me a Bill of exchange for £1000, and
he will write to you and give you proper
credit for the £2000 remaining of the warrant
I have signed. The Draft for £1000 (something?)
(something) currency is enclosed herewith. as I will not detain Mr.
Normandy, but that he may set off directly I shall
only write a few Lines to (something) General Gage.
You will therefore be so good to shew him
this letter with the enclosed advertisements.
I am with great truth
Sir
Your most humble
and most obedient servant
Jeff: Amherst

Description
An account of the resource
This beautifully engraved and colored map represents an English version of the Jansson-Visscher series of maps of northeastern North America. Since it was published shortly after the expulsion of the Dutch from New York, the map displays geographical features similar to those found on its Dutch counterparts. However, the place names New Netherlands and New Amsterdam have been rechristened New York reflecting British control of the former Dutch colony. This map appeared in Thomas Basset and Richard Chiswell's 1676 edition of John Speed's world atlas, first published in 1627. (Description courtesy of Boston Public Library.)
