The Newberry Annual Report 2015 – 16

Letter from the Chair and the President

W

hen we and our Board of Trustees and staff colleagues think about how the Newberry is performing as an institution, we take into account many indicators, some quantitative and some qualitative, some internal and some external. Over the years this annual letter has sought to provide you with performance information that we hope you find useful. This year we begin that effort by means of comparing the Newberry to other institutions. To be sure, we do not have sufficient data to make such comparisons in every important facet of institutional life—but there is much that we can say. Most of our comparative information comes from our longtime of the Board of Trustees Victoria J. Herget and participation in a group of American research institutions known as the Chair Newberry President David Spadafora Independent Research Libraries Association, or IRLA. Its members all have independent status, relatively large library collections, and fellowship programs. Otherwise they are quite diverse, ranging from organizations that are principally museums or historical societies that also have notable library collections to library-only institutions, from collections that are available to all comers to those whose use requires special credentials. Our largest member actually has branch libraries: the New York Public Library (NYPL), which in fact is an independently governed organization despite receiving municipal tax-generated funding. A subset of IRLA known as FAHN (the Folger Shakespeare Library, the American Antiquarian Society, the Huntington Library, Museums, and Art Galleries, and the Newberry) meets every spring for two days of intensive discussion. The meetings of IRLA and FAHN allow their participants to learn more about each other and what each institution is doing. Out of this shared effort come interesting facts. We know, for instance, that the Newberry has the secondlargest collection of books in IRLA, at 945,935 titles in 2015-16: smaller than the Getty Research Institute but some 300,000 titles larger than any other IRLA collection. (In this and other considerations, we leave out of the picture the unique and massive NYPL, which is its own kind of entity.) Manuscripts and maps are harder to tally with precision, but we can confidently say that the Newberry’s manuscript collection is among the largest in the group, and its map collection is far larger than all IRLA members (except for NYPL). Likewise, based on two key data points, we know that on a comparative basis our collection is growing nicely: first, we are spending about 6 percent of our operating budget on acquisitions, the fifth-highest rate in IRLA; second, we have been adding titles to our catalog at the rate of 8,000 to 10,000 per year, which is the fourth-highest level among our peers. We also rank highly, fifth, in terms of the fraction of our acquisition budget that is directed to digital resources—so we are doing reasonably well in buying and making available important digital resources. Considering usage of the collection, the Newberry has the largest number of individual readers in IRLA, about 4,000 in recent years—roughly twice as many as any peer institution. The total number of “reader days” (that is, the individual reader tally multiplied by the average number of days an individual was in the reading rooms) is the second-highest in IRLA, and far above that of all other institutions except the Huntington. Reference inquiries addressed in person, by telephone, or by e-mail and letter have also ranked high in recent years—second, third, or fourth. Data to compare online catalog use have not been collected by IRLA, unfortunately, but we know from our own figures that such use has been growing rapidly—by 20 percent last year from the year before, for example. Another element of use involves our fellowship program. With 61 fellows last year, we had the secondhighest number in IRLA. The total number of fellowship months available at the Newberry was only the fifthhighest among IRLA institutions, however, indicating that three other institutions have (on average) fewer fellows but support them for longer periods of time. Nevertheless, we learned in May that the ratio of applicants for a Newberry research fellowship to those actually awarded one was the highest in our peer group—meaning that for fellows we are currently the most selective IRLA institution.

Fall 2016

Staff generate and support collection use, of course, but our levels of staffing present a different picture from the institution’s collection and usage data. Despite our overall size, the Newberry has only the fifth-largest number of salaried staff in IRLA and the eighth-largest number of staff paid on an hourly basis. These data about employee categories lead us to recognize that Newberry support staffing is comparatively low. Put in terms of ratios of total staffing to collection size or usage, we find that the Newberry ranks second in catalog records per staff member and third in reader days per staff member, meaning that we are staffed at lower levels than nearly all other IRLA members. Principal features of our financial data align with these staff measures. We have the eighth-largest operating budget and the tenth-largest endowment among IRLA institutions. Our ratio of endowment to operating budget is the third-lowest in the group, meaning that our resources to run the enterprise are stretched thin. Even so, we were tied for the fourth-lowest spending rate from our endowment for the last fiscal year. Part of the reason for this fiscal restraint is our modest level of debt, on which we have relatively little debt service to pay. IRLA does not collect debt-level data, but we do know from examining publicly available data for other Chicago cultural organizations’ debt and endowment levels that we are far less indebted than our local peers. Another important budgetary consideration is that, thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the good work of our Development Department, we have the third-largest annual total of gifts for operating activities among IRLA institutions—larger than any institution that is not in New York or Los Angeles. From the comparative point of view, then, it is fair to say that the Newberry has one of the biggest collections, the largest group of readers overall, one of the largest groups of research fellows (chosen most selectively), a modestly sized staff, and a no-nonsense approach to expenditures and revenues. You could say that compared to our peers we are doing a lot with a relative little. Turning from such comparisons to the Newberry’s own activities last year, we are pleased to report that it was a highly successful year overall. During four of the past six years we have been above the median annual performance of endowments between $50 and $100 million, even though financial market conditions led to a decline in our investments last year of 2.8 percent. Our spending rate from our investments was 4.93 percent, essentially the same as the year before. Out of total operating expenditures of $10.78 million, only 30.3 percent came from investments, down from the 44 or 49 percent rate at which we were spending roughly a decade ago. Cash raised for the Annual Fund reached its highest level ever, up 11 percent over the year before, the number of Annual Fund donors grew by 8 percent, and President’s Fellows-level donors increased 15.6 percent. A successful Award Dinner, honoring the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the second-largest Book Fair sales tally ever complemented these annual giving successes.

The Newberry Annual Report

On the facilities front, the past year was dominated by preparations for a major renovation project on the first-f loor and lower level of the Cobb Building. In midwinter we selected Ann Beha Architects (ABA) of Boston to develop plans for this project, and Bulley & Andrews of Chicago to serve as its general contractor. During the spring and summer, ABA worked closely with the Newberry’s staff and the Board of Trustees’ Facilities Committee to understand our needs and aspirations, as a result of which a full concept for the renovation was available by midsummer. This project will bring us modern gallery space for themed exhibitions as well as the ongoing display of representative items from our collection; additional classroom space with fully conditioned air on both levels, making possible the use of collection items there; a welcome or orientation facility where visitors can become acquainted with the Newberry, its collection, and its programs; more event space for internal as well as rental use; an entry vestibule and lobby area whose architectural legacy is preserved while lighting and acoustical features are enhanced; an enlarged bookstore with adjacent casual seating; improved and enlarged lavatory and locker facilities; and security arrangements that are at once upgraded and less obtrusive. Detailed planning continues at this writing, with construction scheduled for the period January 1 – June 30, 2018. In preparation for construction, the Development Department recently moved to the fourth f loor of the Cobb Building, and the reference center on the third f loor was substantially reorganized. In its first full year of operation during 2015-16, the Aeon Circulation system worked smoothly, allowing readers to request materials online and in advance of their visits to the reading rooms. This system is also making it possible for us to find out more about aggregate use of materials. For instance, we learned from last year’s data that materials from the Ayer Collection, Midwest Modern Manuscripts, and the Wing Collection were the most requested by readers. Entering the reading rooms is not the only way to become familiar with our collection. One can also do so by viewing our exhibitions, which last year attracted more than 10,000 visitors, including a substantial number of students who came to the innovative, timely show Civil War to Civil Rights. In addition, our collections become known through what we often call “shows-and-tells.” During 2015-16 more than 3,700 people participated in 260 such sessions conducted by members of the library’s staff, and featuring collection items. Of course, our collections are increasingly viewed at a distance as more and more items are digitized and placed online. The Newberry’s popular Digital Collections for the Classroom, funded by the Grainger Foundation, had a remarkable 319,250 views of the assembled group of digitized collection items keyed to instructional needs. Overall online views of our 20 web-based digital publications such as Indians of the Midwest, which include value-added material such as scholarly essays and bibliographies, increased from 734,237 to 939,311, and now are up about 50 percent in two years. With substantial support once again from the Council on Library and Information Resources, work began on digitizing our huge French Revolutionary era pamphlet collection, whose online usage will soon add markedly to these growing figures. Each year a marvelous array of pamphlets, books, maps, and other items enters the collection by gift and purchase, and 2015-16 was no exception. Our modern manuscripts collection provides a case in point. We purchased a group of 54 diaries and an expense journal by Harry Biedinger, who helped to found and build up the Christian utopian town Zion City, which fits well with our existing strong collection regarding the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church. The gift of the Loren M. Knowles Papers, 1784-2000, brought us another excellent collection of materials about a Midwest family, in this case one that tended carefully to its own genealogical research. The papers of Charles H. Wacker and members of his family, given by Robert Zimmerman, contain letters as well as wonderful photographs of the family and their Lake Geneva estate as well as two remarkable 1928 films that document the implementation of the Chicago Plan, whose Commission was headed by Wacker. In all, the Modern Manuscripts Section processed 35 collections totaling 389 linear feet of material. Along with wonderful early printed European and American books in abundance and some 1,500 titles from Roger Baskes’s collection of books with maps, these manuscript collections add wonderful opportunities for scholars and other readers. For sheer numbers, however, the biggest collecting news of all was the decision this past summer by the Lake County Discovery Museum to give the Newberry its enormous collection of postcards. The Curt Teich Postcard Archives Collection consists of more than 2.5 million items and is generally considered the largest publicly accessible collection of postcards anywhere. It includes not only Teich postcards themselves but also the work files for those produced by the Teich Company of Chicago, as well as other substantial postcard collections given to the museum across three decades. The collection will come to the Newberry this fall, providing a research bonanza for people interested in local history and genealogy, art history, and the history of design and printing.

Fall 2016

Our undergraduate programs boomed during 2015-16, with a total of 48 participants in the fall ACM and winter/spring NLUS programs. These semester-long seminars are unique to the Newberry. Of special note, in September we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the ACM program. Seventy alumni were in attendance, including five from the originating 1965 class. Again and again that weekend, returnees of all ages celebrated the importance of this enduring program to their college experience and subsequent careers. Among the major accomplishments of our four research centers is the January 2016 launch of the French Renaissance Paleography website, after two-plus years of development in conjunction with partners at the University of Toronto and St. Louis University. This set of online tools is the latest in a long line of Newberry efforts to support the demand for training in the deciphering of early modern vernacular handwriting. Also in January, the Smith Center launched its major web publication Make Big Plans: Daniel Burnham’s Vision of an American Metropolis. It focuses on the role of visual culture in planning and developing American urban places. Two months later came the Smith Center’s Mapping Movement in American History and Culture, which features scholarly essays accompanying some 400 high-resolution images of maps representing the history of travel, commerce, migration, and communication in North American since the sixteenth century. Both of these important online publications were years in the making. The McNickle Center marked its 45th anniversary by increasing its consortium membership by one university, to a total of 21, and by continuing its initiative to host major public programs, such as a half-day Indigenous dance program and a major lecture by Leslie Marmon Silko in a packed Ruggles Hall. The Scholl Center helped scholars from local universities inaugurate a new seminar, Writing History, which brings to 10 the number of such seminars operating under the center’s auspices. Scholl’s other most recent seminar, on American political thought, is f lourishing in partnership with the Jack Miller Center. Communicating about the Newberry, its collections, and its programs, has become increasingly important in recent years. In addition to this magazine, many mailings, and stories appearing in traditional media, some 16,000 people receive our regular e-newsletter by e-mail. Social media play a growing role in our communications effort. During the past fiscal year the Newberry’s Facebook followers increased by 88 percent. The average number of users who saw Facebook posts related to the Newberry increased by 124 percent, to 5,346 per day. Survey work undertaken last year revealed that each of these media is important to different segments of our users. We close with a notable transition in our staff. Paul F. Gehl, for more than three decades Custodian of the John M. Wing Foundation on the History of Printing, retired in May and was celebrated by colleagues and Trustees for his enormous impact on the Wing Collection, his distinguished scholarship as a historian of early modern Europe, and his widely recognized work on behalf of the design community in Chicago and beyond. Gifts honoring him have established a new lecture series on the history of the book. Paul’s successor as the fifth Custodian of the Wing Collection is Jill Gage, who is also Bibliographer of English Literature and History. Working closely with Diane Dillon, Director of Exhibitions and Major Projects, she has curated the current exhibition, Creating Shakespeare, hailed by scholars for its excellence. We urge you to see this show, come to the reading rooms, attend our public programs—and we thank you once more for your commitment and generosity to the Newberry Library.

This year the department launched several innovative programs. In addition to its usual slate of content-focused seminars for teachers, Teacher Programs hosted a number of visits to the Newberry by student groups, giving high school students the opportunity for hands-on work with rare books and manuscript sources. It also continued its Teacher Fellow program, providing support for selected high school teachers to curate digital collections and create teaching resources based on primary-source research at the Newberry. Public Programs brought several groups of teenagers from across the city for special tours of the Civil War to Civil Rights exhibition and to attend related workshops and programs. The division also branched into more family-oriented programs, geared toward younger children and their parents. Overall, the department maintained total attendance for adult education seminars, teacher seminars, and public programs at about the same levels as the previous year.
