Highlights of the Albert Durant Photography Collection
Description
An account of the resource
The Albert Durant Photography Collection encompasses photoprints, negatives, slides, and personal papers that document the photographic production of Williamsburg's first black city-licensed photographer, Albert Durant. Durant's photographic output provides a priceless visual history of African American life in Williamsburg, Virginia and surrounding communities from the late 1930s to the early 1960s. Since the collection encompasses ten thousand images, highlights of some of the major subject categories covered by the photos are presented here.
The collection provides a fascinating glimpse into African American social life in Williamsburg during the 1940s and 1950s. Durant captured the atmosphere of local jazz and night clubs through scenes of performers singing and dancing and audiences socializing. Durant also acted as photographer for many African American clubs and organizations. Along with taking formal group portraits, he documented these groups through informal shots of meetings, dinners, and special events.
African American student life during segregation is also featured in this visual archive. While a high school student at James City County Training School, Durant began developing his interest in photography by taking images of student activities, including sports, dances, plays, assemblies, and graduations. As an adult, Durant acted as a portrait photographer for Junior-Senior Proms at local black high schools and also documented the sports teams, marching bands, choirs, students, and faculty at Bruton Heights School in Williamsburg.
African American spiritual life is another strength of the collection. Durant photographed church groups, such as choirs and missionary circles, as well as individuals participating in rituals at many different black churches in the Williamsburg area.
Occupations, working conditions, and business opportunities for African Americans in Williamsburg are recorded in Durant's photos, too. The photos show African Americans working in restaurants, beauty and barber shops, stores, offices, dry cleaners, and gas stations.
Albert Wadsworth Durant was born on February 2, 1920 in New York City to Samuel and Bessie Durant. His mother was a native of Williamsburg who moved with her husband to New York and worked as a domestic servant for a family. After the death of her husband, who was originally from the West Indies, Bessie Durant and her children relocated to Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1929.
At age 36, Durant married Elsie Lucille Ferguson on August 18, 1956. They raised three sons, Albert W. Durant Jr., Byron Murphy, and Roderick Ferguson, and two daughters, Yvette Durant and Deanna Ferguson.
Albert Durant ran his own chauffeuring and limousine business in the Williamsburg area, providing services to many distinguished visitors to the city, including the Queen Mother of England, the Prince of Japan, and various chief justices. He often took his customers on excursions to local historic sites, including Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and the James River plantations. Through course work at the College of William and Mary, Durant acquired a background in American history which enabled him to provide historical commentary as he drove customers through the countryside.
Durant's contacts at the College of William and Mary sparked his initial interest in photography and once he had obtained equipment and training, Durant began creating his own historical record of the Williamsburg area. He produced hundreds of portraits documenting the families and activities of African American residents and also documented significant events, places, and persons in and around Williamsburg.
In addition, Albert Durant worked to improve conditions for African Americans in Williamsburg by serving in various positions in the city's government. He acted as the first black Justice of the Peace and Bail Commissioner in Williamsburg and served as the first black magistrate of the General District Court from his appointment in 1962 until his retirement in 1975.
Albert Durant died at age 71 on April 14, 1991.

An account of the resource
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Richard Garrison was a New York photographer with a studio at 52 Vanderbilt Avenue in New York City. His architectural photographs appeared regularly in such magazines as "House Beautiful," "American Art and Architecture," "Architectural Record," and "House & Garden." According to a recommendation written by Mr. Frederic C. Hirons, Garrison “…was trained as an architect and …knows the vital points in taking architectural photographs…”
After F.S. Lincoln’s photography contract expired in 1937, Colonial Williamsburg hired Richard Garrison in his place. A contract signed by Garrison in June 1937 indicates that Garrison was contracted to be available when requested to photograph exterior and interior views of buildings between June 15, 1937 and June 14, 1938. Colonial Williamsburg renewed this agreement with Garrison in 1938 and 1939.
Colonial Williamsburg staff members asked Garrison to create a master collection of official photos of Colonial Williamsburg buildings and gardens. He was given several lists of suggested views to take of the exterior and interior of the Governor’s Palace, the Capitol, the Raleigh Tavern, the Public Gaol, the Wren Building, Market Square Tavern, and the Travis House. The lists also instructed him to photograph various gardens and street scenes in the historic area, as well as shops in the business block and exterior views of the Williamsburg Inn. Some of Garrison’s photos formed part of the Virginia exhibit at the New York World’s Fair in 1939.
Richard Garrison joined the Navy in 1942 and closed his office for the duration of World War II. During this period, his negative files were made available to Colonial Williamsburg at the offices of Underwood & Underwood in New York City. Garrison received his discharge from the Navy in 1946 and contacted Colonial Williamsburg about the possibility of additional contract work. The photographer presented Kenneth Chorley, President of Colonial Williamsburg, with a proposal to photograph the interiors of private homes within the historic area. Mr. Chorley vetoed the proposal because he felt the private interiors were not accurately restored and would confuse the public as to the objectives of the restoration work. Other Colonial Williamsburg staff members were more enthusiastic about the proposal, but it was never approved. Therefore, Garrison did not perform any more contract photography for Colonial Williamsburg after World War II.
Scope and Contents
The Richard Garrison Photo Collection consists of one portfolio of black and white and hand-colored photos ranging in size from 8x10 to 11x14. These are the only known Garrison photos in the Foundation’s photo archives. The whereabouts of the other negatives and prints created by Garrison while under contract to Colonial Williamsburg are unknown.
Although it is unfortunate that only a small portion of Garrison’s photographic work for Colonial Williamsburg has been preserved, this small portfolio provides a sample of the types of photographs he created. The subject matter includes interior views of the Governor’s Palace, George Wythe House, Market Square Tavern, and the Raleigh Tavern; exterior views of the Capitol, Raleigh Tavern, Public Gaol, Courthouse, Ludwell-Paradise House, Ayscough Shop, Palmer House, Travis House, Pitt Dixon House, Coke-Garrett House, and the Williamsburg Inn; and various unidentified garden scenes. Some of the photos are mounted on board and signed by the photographer. They date from the period of 1937-1939, when Garrison worked on a contract basis for Colonial Williamsburg.
Garrison's photographs of Colonial Williamsburg appeared in an exhibit at the Pedac Galleries at Rockefeller Center and also in the publication "Williamsburg, Virginia: A Brief Study in Photographs" published in 1939 by Colonial Williamsburg, Inc.

An account of the resource
Susan Higginson Nash was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on August 8, 1893 and died in Boston on July 25, 1971. She served as a consultant on antiques and interior decoration in association with the Boston architectural firm of Perry, Shaw, & Hepburn, chosen to carry out the early work on Williamsburg's restoration. Later a member of the American Institute of Decorators, she was a friend of architect William G. Perry with whom she first visited Williamsburg in 1923. During field trips to Virginia sites, she met the popular Richmond novelist Ellen Glasgow, who advised her: "If you do any work at Williamsburg, make it perceptible." Mrs. Nash felt this was a wonderful phrase and quoted it often, evidently taking it to mean that the work should be subtly and sympathetically done.
Most of the photos in the Susan Higginson Nash Photograph Collection date to the early 1930s, when steps to be taken in the physical restoration of the colonial capital were still under study. Sites include many of the important extant eighteenth-century houses in the Tidewater region of Virginia, such as Shirley, Westover, Mt. Airy, Sabine Hall and Marmion. Excursions to such sites were made to help in determining proper precedents for the work to be carried out in Williamsburg's Historic Area.

Description
An account of the resource
Susan Higginson Nash was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on August 8, 1893 and died in Boston on July 25, 1971. She served as a consultant on antiques and interior decoration in association with the Boston architectural firm of Perry, Shaw, & Hepburn, chosen to carry out the early work on Williamsburg's restoration. Later a member of the American Institute of Decorators, she was a friend of architect William G. Perry with whom she first visited Williamsburg in 1923. During field trips to Virginia sites, she met the popular Richmond novelist Ellen Glasgow, who advised her: "If you do any work at Williamsburg, make it perceptible." Mrs. Nash felt this was a wonderful phrase and quoted it often, evidently taking it to mean that the work should be subtly and sympathetically done.
Most of the photos in the Susan Higginson Nash Photograph Collection date to the early 1930s, when steps to be taken in the physical restoration of the colonial capital were still under study. Sites include many of the important extant eighteenth-century houses in the Tidewater region of Virginia, such as Shirley, Westover, Mt. Airy, Sabine Hall and Marmion. Excursions to such sites were made to help in determining proper precedents for the work to be carried out in Williamsburg's Historic Area.

Osborne Family Photos
Description
An account of the resource
Founded in 1736 by William Parks, the Virginia Gazette served as a critical instrument of communication in colonial Virginia throughout the eighteenth-century. It ceased publication in the early 1800s and then underwent a series of short periods of reintroduction throughout the remainder of the nineteenth-century. The Special Collections Department of the Rockefeller Library is fortunate to hold numerous original eighteenth-century issues of the Virginia Gazette, many of which are mounted online for research access: https://cwfjdrlsc.omeka.net/collections/show/5. In addition to this fascinating resource for studying many aspects of eighteenth-century Williamsburg, the library’s visual archives also holds a photograph collection relating to the revival of the Virginia Gazette in the early twentieth-century by the Osborne family, the Osborne Family Photos, AV1998.19.
Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin invited newspaper publisher Joseph A. Osborne Sr. to relocate to Williamsburg to lead the effort to reintroduce a revitalized Virginia Gazette after a brief run under the auspices of the College of William & Mary’s journalism department in the mid-1920s dismantled. Goodwin envisioned the revival of its publication as an important accompaniment to the restoration efforts underway in Williamsburg’s historic district by the late 1920s. The Virginia Gazette office opened in a portion of a building forming part of the new business and shopping district at the west end of Duke of Gloucester Street. Located at 420 Prince George Street, it stood next to Ayers Garage in the approximate location of today’s Blue Talon Bistro. On January 10, 1930, Osborne released the first issue of the new and revised Virginia Gazette and the newspaper has been in continuous circulation since that date.
The Osborne family developed close ties with Colonial Williamsburg through daughters Mattie Osborne, who served as a hostess, and Marguerite Osborne, who worked as Ed Kendrew’s secretary. Their small collection of photographs held by the library illustrates their involvement with many aspects of the museum’s activities. Mr. Osborne attended such events as the Governor’s Palace concert series while his daughters are pictured in costume participating in tours, training sessions, and even promotional photo shoots for Williamsburg chocolates. After World War II, Osborne’s three daughters, Marguerite, Mattie, and Midge, along with his son, J.A. Osborne Jr., assumed various responsibilities with production of the paper. Their growing roles with the business are reflected in a series of photos depicting family members conferring over newspaper proofs, greeting guests at an open house, and discussing printing equipment. Marian Osborne rose from the role of assistant editor in the 1950s to become business manager, a role she retained even after her family sold the paper in 1961 and until her retirement in 1975. Together, the twenty-three photos encompassing the Osborne Family Photos provide a record of the family’s significant role in bringing the Virginia Gazette back to life and to honoring the newspaper’s historic roots in eighteenth-century Williamsburg.

Osborne Family Photos
Description
An account of the resource
Founded in 1736 by William Parks, the Virginia Gazette served as a critical instrument of communication in colonial Virginia throughout the eighteenth-century. It ceased publication in the early 1800s and then underwent a series of short periods of reintroduction throughout the remainder of the nineteenth-century. The Special Collections Department of the Rockefeller Library is fortunate to hold numerous original eighteenth-century issues of the Virginia Gazette, many of which are mounted online for research access: https://cwfjdrlsc.omeka.net/collections/show/5. In addition to this fascinating resource for studying many aspects of eighteenth-century Williamsburg, the library’s visual archives also holds a photograph collection relating to the revival of the Virginia Gazette in the early twentieth-century by the Osborne family, the Osborne Family Photos, AV1998.19.
Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin invited newspaper publisher Joseph A. Osborne Sr. to relocate to Williamsburg to lead the effort to reintroduce a revitalized Virginia Gazette after a brief run under the auspices of the College of William & Mary’s journalism department in the mid-1920s dismantled. Goodwin envisioned the revival of its publication as an important accompaniment to the restoration efforts underway in Williamsburg’s historic district by the late 1920s. The Virginia Gazette office opened in a portion of a building forming part of the new business and shopping district at the west end of Duke of Gloucester Street. Located at 420 Prince George Street, it stood next to Ayers Garage in the approximate location of today’s Blue Talon Bistro. On January 10, 1930, Osborne released the first issue of the new and revised Virginia Gazette and the newspaper has been in continuous circulation since that date.
The Osborne family developed close ties with Colonial Williamsburg through daughters Mattie Osborne, who served as a hostess, and Marguerite Osborne, who worked as Ed Kendrew’s secretary. Their small collection of photographs held by the library illustrates their involvement with many aspects of the museum’s activities. Mr. Osborne attended such events as the Governor’s Palace concert series while his daughters are pictured in costume participating in tours, training sessions, and even promotional photo shoots for Williamsburg chocolates. After World War II, Osborne’s three daughters, Marguerite, Mattie, and Midge, along with his son, J.A. Osborne Jr., assumed various responsibilities with production of the paper. Their growing roles with the business are reflected in a series of photos depicting family members conferring over newspaper proofs, greeting guests at an open house, and discussing printing equipment. Marian Osborne rose from the role of assistant editor in the 1950s to become business manager, a role she retained even after her family sold the paper in 1961 and until her retirement in 1975. Together, the twenty-three photos encompassing the Osborne Family Photos provide a record of the family’s significant role in bringing the Virginia Gazette back to life and to honoring the newspaper’s historic roots in eighteenth-century Williamsburg.
