Short nomenclator or vocabular in English and Hebrew: composed alphabetically for the use and benefit of my pupils in particular and for the advantage of those who are desirous to obtain the knowledge of the Hebrew tongue in general, which may be that great help to understand not only ye sacred oracles in their original, but even any Jewish author (so far as concern owns) as also it may give great insight in ye tongue to those, as to compose it, a work altogether new, [ca. 1735]

Headed on the first page with the words "Nomenclatura hebraica," this handwritten volume is a vocabulary with the Hebrew word in the left column, and the English translation on the right. While the book is arranged in sections by letter, individual entries do not appear in strict alphabetical order. The small vocabulary varies greatly and includes entries like enigma, excommunication, and martyr, as well as cucumber and maggot. There are translations of the astrological signs at the end of the volume. Poem written at the bottom of the last page in different hand: "Women when good the best of saints/ that bright seraphick lovely/ she, who nothing of an angel/ wants but truth & immortality./ Verse 2: Who silken limbs & charming/ face. Keeps nature warm."

William Blair Townsend letter and receipt books, 1743-1805, bulk 1744-1777

The collection consists of two volumes, which date from 1743 to 1805, spanning his whole career as a merchant. Volume one is a letter book containing Townsend's business correspondence from November 23, 1743 to December 12, 1774. Most of the letters were written to American (many in North Carolina) and British (predominately in London) merchants. His earliest letters document his efforts to establish himself as a trader. Over time his letters turn to illustrate the common problems faced by many merchants: damaged goods, overpriced goods, embargos, and high freight costs. Particularly enlightening are his comments on the challenges of doing business throughout the French and Indian War and the years leading up to the American Revolution. He most frequently corresponded with London merchants Champion & Hayley, Lane & Booth, Lane Son & Fraser, Harrison & Ansley, and Leeds merchant Samuel Elam. In addition he frequently corresponded with Eliakim Palmer, colonial agent and merchant in London, as well as Dr. Walley Chauncy of North Carolina. He dealt in a wide variety of goods including molasses, rum, tar, medicines, pitch, saddles, tallow, hides, skins, pickled beef and pork, and wine. The letters also document Townsend's involvement in the slave trade through his occasional purchases of slaves.

La historia escolar a inicios del siglo XXI : cambios, pérdidas y conquistas

Este trabajo explora la historia escolar a inicios del siglo XXI analizando sus actuales propósitos, contenidos y prácticas con el fin de señalar sus cambios, conquistas y pérdidas respecto al siglo XX. Focaliza el nivel secundario de la provincia de Buenos Aires a través del análisis de fuentes áulicas, normativas y pedagógicas. El artículo indica que la historia escolar manifiesta el quiebre del código disciplinar configurado a fines del siglo XIX y desarrollado durante gran parte del siglo XX (caracterizado como civilizatorio, patriótico, elitista, fáctico, libresco, memorístico) y presenta cambios que muestran uno nuevo donde cobra relevancia lo contemporáneo y reciente, lo crítico y plural, y lo subjetivo. También señala que la historia escolar evidencia, por un lado, importantes conquistas -en relación con la perspectiva latinoamericana y la historia reciente-, y, por otro, ciertas pérdidas -en relación con la formación de una identidad colectiva y el carácter narrativo.
