Spady's contributions to the Philadelphia New Observer, 1985-2006(University of Pennsylvania Libraries, 2023) Xie, ZhangyangAn index to pieces written by the writer, activist, journalist, and historianJames G. Spady (1944-2020) in the Philadelphia New Observer newspaper which are present as clippings in the Spady Papers at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn Ms. Coll. 1509). This index was compiled during 2023 and contains more than 1,700 articles written by Spady indexed under several key terms, many of which deal with Philadelphia arts, culture, and African American history. While not an exhaustive list of everything Spady wrote for the Philadelphia New Observer, the index is based on clippings made and selected by Spady and thus offers a particularly valuable insight into Spady's professional work, academic interests, community engagement, and philosophy of life.Publication The city looking glass.

Among the treasures in the collection is the songster’s diary, kept during the war years of 1939-1945. Written in pen on looseleaf notebook paper and bound by a small three ring binder, it may have been one of several diaries kept by Evans, but today it is the only one that survives. As a means to encourage exploration of these formative years, Evans’ lyrics and music in general, and his collection of personal and professional papers here at Penn we have transcribed and digitized the diary, presenting it as an online flip book. Images of the diary pages and a transcription for easier reading are presented side by side. The transcription here was created by John F. Anderies and first published to the web in 2015 at the URL . The fully digitized diary is also available online at . The contents of this diary are copyright The Ray & Wyn Ritchie Evans Foundation.Publication Dupleix Correspondence(1752) Dupleix, Joseph-François, marquis, 1697-1763Typescript transcriptions made for Prof. Holden Furber at sometime before 1968 from the correspondence of Joseph François Dupleix (1697-1763) held then at the Archives départementales et Seine-et-Oise at Versailles.
