The Town

The aim of this study is to summarize, based on primary sources, the series of decisions made by the management of the town of Makó between 1950 and 1990, which aimed to declare the settlement a spa town. The spa culture of Makó, as the basis of spa tourism, takes place in two arenas: on the coast of river Maros on the outskirts of the settlement and in the thermal spa in the downtown. The relevant decisions and activities of the period are recorded in writing in the protocols of the Executive Committee of the Council of Makó and the minutes of the Csongrád County Water and Sewerage Company, as well as in the register of the Water Directorate - these reflect the institutional attitude. In addition, the period from the 1950s onwards can already be grasped in the form of recollections which complement, nuance formal arrangements with individual experiences and motivations.

As If

New Zealand television networks introduced infomercials (30 minute advertisements designed to appear as if they are programmes) in late 1993. Although infomercials date from the 1950s in the USA, they were unknown in this country and quickly came to be seen as a peculiarly “intense” form of hyper-commercial broadcasting. This article aims to sketch out the cultural importance of the infomercial by analysing historical published primary sources (from the specialist and general press) as they reflect the views and opinions that resulted from the introduction of the infomercial. Specifically, it outlines the three main areas where that cultural importance was located. It concludes by analysing the significance of the cultural impact of the infomercial, both within broadcasting and within wider society.

Nashville Cats: Record Production in Music City, 1945–1975 is the first history of record production during country music’s so-called Nashville Sound era. This period of country music history produced some of the genre’s most celebrated recording artists, including Country Music Hall of Fame inductees Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, and Floyd Cramer, and marked the establishment of a recording industry that has come to define Nashville in the national and international consciousness. Yet, despite country music’s overwhelming popularity during this period and the continued legacy of the studios that were built in Nashville during the 1950s and 1960s, little attention has been given to the ways in which recording engineers, session musicians, and record producers shaped the sounds of country music during the time. Drawing upon a rich array of previously unexplored primary sources, Nashville Cats: Record Production in Music City, 1945–1975 is the first book to take a global view of record production in Nashville during the three decades that the city’s musicians established the city as the leading center for the production and distribution of country music.

Początek działalności Referatu Archiwum Urzędu Miasta Krakowa wiąże się z reformą samorządu terytorialnego przeprowadzoną w Polsce w 1990 r. Spowodowała ona gruntowną reorganizację działalności urzędów w Polsce, w tym także Urzędu Miasta Krakowa. Początkowo archiwum miało siedzibę w podziemiach budynku magistratu przy placu Wszystkich Świętych 3–4, a od 1999 r. w budynku przy ulicy Dobrego Pasterza 116a. W chwili obecnej Referat Archiwum prowadzi działalność w nowym, na wskroś nowoczesnym obiekcie, do którego pracownicy oraz zasób archiwalny zostali przeniesieni w czerwcu 2019 r. Według stanu na koniec 2019 r. w archiwum zgromadzonych było blisko 20 000 mb akt. Głównym trzonem zasobu archiwum są akta przekazywane z 40 komórek organizacyjnych Urzędu. Do najcenniejszych zbiorów należą: zbiór gromadzkich książek meldunkowych z terenu miasta Krakowa składający się z 25 770 ksiąg, obejmujący okres od 1930 do 1961 r., zbiór Ksiąg Rejestrów Mieszkańców Gmin, zawierających informacje o mieszkańcach gmin z terenu powiatu krakowskiego obejmujących okres od lat 30. do 50. XX w., zbiór tzw. Rejestrów stałych mieszkańców, zbiór Kart Osobowych Mieszkańca, które były prowadzone dla każdego mieszkańca miasta i gromadzone wg adresów zamieszkania. Niezwykle ciekawym zbiorem, nadal otwartym, jest zbiór tzw. kopert dowodowych, tj. dokumentacji związanej z wydawaniem dowodów osobistych W kopertach dowodowych często zachowały się przedwojenne dowody osobiste lub dowody tożsamości, paszporty lub kenkarty. Office of the Krakow Town Council Archive. History, organization and archival resources The beginnings of the Office of the Krakow Town Council Archive are connected with the local-government reform that took place in Poland in 1990. This led to a major reorganisation in the activities of councils in Poland, including the Krakow Town Council. Initially, the Archive was located in the basement of the Town Hall building at 3–4 Wszystkich Świętych (All Saints) Square, and from 1999 in the building at 116a Dobrego Pasterza Street. Currently, the Office of the Archive operates in a new modern building which the employees and archival resources were moved to in June 2019. At the end of 2019, the Archive had a collection of almost 20,000 metres of records. The main body of the Archive’s resources consists of records deposited by 40 organisational units of the Council. The most important collections include: the collection of registration books from the town of Krakow, consisting of 25,770 books covering the period from 1930 to 1961, the collection of Registers of Borough Residents, containing information about the inhabitants of the boroughs in Krakow County covering the period from the 1930s to the 1950s, the collection of the so-called Registers of Permanent Residents, and the collection of Resident Cards, which were kept for each resident of the town and collected according to the residence address. A particularly interesting collection, which is still open, is the collection of the so-called evidence envelopes, in other words, documents connected with the issuance of ID cards. The evidence envelopes often contain pre-war ID cards, passports or kennkarten.

The topic of Mississippian origins in the North Carolina Piedmont has received very little attention from archaeologists since the 1950s. This chapter pulls together information from multiple sites, especially the extensively excavated Town Creek site, to present an overview of Early Mississippian in the North Carolina Piedmont. The presence of Mississippian lifeways in the region is indicated by the appearance of complicated-stamped ceramics by around A.D. 1150-1200. Associated social changes include the appearance of archaeologically visible households and the development of a civic-ceremonial center at the Town Creek site. Public and domestic architecture as well as evidence for ritual activities suggests that social groups interacted and were integrated at multiple scales within the Early Mississippian community at Town Creek.

Insight Into

Using primary sources including diaries and letters, this chapter sheds considerable light on the female intellectual and cultural sphere. A wide-ranging discussion of middle-class women living in an Irish urban context is offered here. Although Victorian elite women left a much lighter record than that of men, private correspondence from the large Workman family and Mary Watts’ diary and biography provide a fascinating insight into the female sphere as it existed in the town. Women’s experience of education, culture, singleness, courtship, marriage, motherhood and philanthropy are all discussed in this chapter, raising questions about levels of female independence, self-worth and participation in the public sphere. Fatherhood and childhood are also discussed in this chapter.

The Town

The town of Madrid was first chosen as the permanent seat of the Court in 1561; for a few years, from 1601 to 1606, Valladolid challenged Madrid's supremacy, but in that year Madrid was confirmed as the capital of Spain. The years from 1561 saw, as a result, a rapid growth in Madrid, an explosion of population and of size which was not to have its counterpart again until the 1870s and, more recently, the 1950s and 1960s. Inevitably, the growth of Madrid sucked into the town a great number of peasants and, by the early decades of the seventeenth century, a significant part of the population must have consisted of first- and second-generation town-dwellers, imbued, to judge from the evidence of the plays performed in the commercial theatres, with a nostalgia for the country-side, a nostalgia which was reinforced by and expressed in terms of the old literarytoposof the dispraise of life in the city (or at Court) and the praise of country life.

The Town

It can be said that the town statute of Split and the stipulations concerning the everyday life in this medieval town are not characterized by the aim to create an ideal city and, in this, they are far from the long-range urban planning contained in the statute of Dubrovnik. The fact that less than five per cent of the stipulations in the statute of Split relate to urban planning ought to be understood as indicating that the town, set in Diocletian’s Palace and determined by its structures, had already been defined to a large extent and that it functioned well and fulfilled the needs of its inhabitants. Thirty chapters of the statute deal with different aspects of the development of medieval Split and its everyday maintenance. This article focuses on the relationship between the local government and private property, that is, with the cases of private spaces being transformed into public spaces and the ‘ritualistic erasures’, that is, the demolition of houses whose owners committed treason and broke the law. This phenomenon of demolition as setting example was not limited to medieval Split but was recorded in other Dalmatian communes (in Omiš and Dubrovnik as late as the eighteenth century) and this discussion of it is based on the examination of a wider set of primary sources.

This chapter provides an overview of research produced since the 1950s on Indian allies who actively shaped the successive borderlands north of Mexico-Tenochtitlan after 1521, as well as an in-depth discussion of sixteenth-century instances based on primary sources. The emphasis is placed on Otomí allies in the sixteenth-century conquest of central Mexico and the area that came to be known as the Gran Chichimeca; Nahuas and Purépechas who went to the Tierra Nueva of Cíbola under the command of Francisco Vázquez de Coronado (1540–1542), and the many groups of different ethnic origins who took part in the Mixtón war (1541–1542) and the conquest of Nueva Vizcaya in the early 1560s. The Indians’ mixed motivations to get involved in conquest and colonizing campaigns alongside Spanish individuals, besides the privileges and material benefits they obtained and the threats of Spanish authorities and encomenderos—or the desire to escape Spanish oppression—were also determined by local and regional articulations of native politics that predated the arrival of Europeans. Therefore, their participation as conquerors must be understood as integral to a complex realignment process rather than as a mere reaction to colonial imposition.

Historical Moment

The article explores some of the connections between science and agribusiness in the history of pig factory farming in Ontario, Canada, between the 1950s and the present. The factory farm model of pig production submits animals to a very artificial way of life, which would not be possible without the inputs of scientific and technological innovations of the 20th century. Topics discussed include the use of antibiotics, swine nutrition, feed conversion (in)efficiency, and pork promotion and consumption. The primary sources utilized are a trade magazine, a census of agriculture, and other government and industry publications. The article sheds light on how notions such as “progress”, “improvement”, “modern” or “efficiency”, frequently used by scientists when referring to results of pig production, are restricted to narrow or internal considerations of the industry that, in turn, can be challenged by broader analysis of aspects (social, economic, environmental) of the food system. Scientists have not just produced scientific knowledge but in some cases have also promoted ideologies about animals and the food system. These ideologies of “progress”, “improvement”, “modern” or “efficiency”, as in the context of pig production in Ontario, only make sense if we understand the particular historical moment in the analysis, which since the 1950s has markedly been one of strong agribusiness interventionism.

The 1950S

A growing global visual culture in the 1950s and 1960s made image and self-presentation techniques critical to the transnational impact of the Cuban revolution. This chapter explores how popular culture shaped the interpretation of events by photographers, journalists and designers, who were often inspired by the anarchic forms of militarism the rebels adopted. When the rebels came into view, they were hypermasculine, complete with cowboy hats, long hair, cigars, and a cheerful contempt for uniformity; they created images of insurgency that were a compelling form of cultural exchange for revolutionary Cuba. They appeared to highlight creativity and subversive visual practices, but their performances were also raced and gendered. The chapter draws on a range of primary sources to consider the significance of aesthetics and embodiment to understanding the images, textures and experiences that characterised the Cuban revolution, but also what it reveals about the shape of twentieth century military insurgencies.
