        Miniature of John Johnson Collection
        John Johnson Collection
          • Creator: Johnson, John, 1771-1842
          • Date Created: 1793-1842
          • Description: The John Johnson Collection consists of 168 maps, surveys, and architectural drawings. The items included here represent every town in Chittenden County, as well as much of the rest of northwestern Vermont. The original items are in the Oversize Maps and Surveys series in the John Johson Papers, which also contain seven cartons of records divided into the following broad categories: correspondence; business papers; architectural plans and drawings; maps and surveys; bound manuscripts; and miscellaneous papers. More information about the John Johnson Papers is available here - http://scfindingaids.uvm.edu/repositories/2/resources/1249 John Johnson -- surveyor, millwright, master builder, civil engineer -- was born in Canterbury, New Hampshire on December 2, 1771. He moved to north-western Vermont in 1790 and eventually settled in Essex, where he helped build a dam and several mills at Hubbells Falls on the Winooski River. Johnson's practical versatility soon made him the most prominent surveyor and engineer in northern Vermont and Lower Canada, and the growing demand for his services led him to move to Burlington in 1809. He was named Surveyor General of Vermont in 1813, and four years later received the appointment of superintendent of the survey of the United States-Canada border from the Bay of Fundy to the head of the Connecticut River. Although the survey was suspended after two years, Johnson's work along the Maine-New Brunswick line in 1818-19 served as a partial basis for the final settlement of the border under the Webster-Ashburton Treaty in 1842. Johnson maintained his several careers in the 1820's and 1830's. He designed or constructed many of the finest residences and public buildings in Chittenden County, served as a consultant on engineering projects as far away as North Carolina and Illinois, and continued to run surveys throughout northern Vermont. He also served again as Surveyor General of the state in the 1830's, and worked throughout that decade as an inspector for the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Company. Johnson died of sudden attack of erysipelas fever on April 30, 1842 at the age of seventy.
          Miniature of Fire Insurance Maps of Vermont
          Fire Insurance Maps of Vermont
            • Date Created: 1869-1922
            • Description: This collection contains large-scale maps of Vermont villages and cities produced to give fire insurance companies and underwriters accurate information about insured properties. The collection currently includes maps of communities in Chittenden and Franklin Counties that were published from 1869 to 1922. Maps from other Vermont communities will be added in the future. The detailed maps provide an important historical record of industrial areas, business districts, and some residential sections. Because most insurance maps were periodically updated and revised, they provide evidence of changes that occurred during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The colored 21 x 25 inch sheets show building footprints, construction methods and materials, size and number of floors, and uses. They also show streets, railroads, wharves and slips, property boundaries, street numbers, water systems and fire protection. Most map sets include an index sheet showing the mapped area and sheet numbers, a list of streets and addresses, a “specials index” of businesses and organizations, and a detailed key that lists the symbols used to indicate building features. Original Vermont fire insurance maps, including maps published after 1922, are available in UVM Special Collections - http://specialcollections.uvm.edu/
            Miniature of Louis L. McAllister Photographs
            Louis L. McAllister Photographs
              • Description: Louis L. McAllister photographed people and places near Burlington, Vermont for 60 years. He was born in Columbus, Nebraska on October 16, 1876, the son of Julius S. McAllister (born 1841 in Lincoln, VT) and Rosette Gould (born in Vermont in 1851). Julius McAllister worked as a photographer and dentist in Washington D.C., Bristol, Vermont and Columbus, Nebraska. Around 1895, Julius, his third wife Amy, and their children left Nebraska for the Union Soldiers’ Colony in Fitzgerald, Georgia. By 1900, Julius and Amy were divorced, and Amy and her stepson Louis were working as photographers in Thomasville, Georgia. In 1907 Louis McAllister married Cora Shepard (born about 1872 in Vermont) in Holland, Michigan. By 1910, they were living in Queen City Park in South Burlington, Vermont, where Louis established a photography studio. The McAllisters moved to Burlington, and by 1919 they lived at 47 N. Winooski Avenue. They continued to occupy a summer cottage at Queen City Park, and were active in the Queen City Park Association, which held spiritualist camp meetings annually. McAllister conducted his photography business from home until his death in 1963. McAllister’s “trademark” was his panorama camera which made him familiar to all sorts of groups ranging from graduating classes to state police to summer camp groups. In addition he did print 8 x 10 photos, many of which document building construction and Burlington Street Department projects, as well as group and individual portraits. The L.L. McAllister Collection includes portraits, construction projects, buildings, businesses and events in the Burlington area covering the period ca. 1920-1960. The collection also includes photos of street, bridge, airport and sewer construction and repair, as well as group portraits of clubs, schools, etc. Revised April, 2010
              Miniature of University of Vermont Alumni Publications
              University of Vermont Alumni Publications
                • Description: The University of Vermont has published newsletters and magazines for alumni since 1905. The alumni publications are a valuable source of information about the institution and its students, faculty, and staff. The publications document faculty, student and alumni activities and accomplishments, curriculum developments, and campus expansion and building construction. They include feature articles, statistical and financial reports, interviews, photographs, and alumni news. The titles and frequency of publications have changed over the years. The first publication, U.V.M. Notes, was issued monthly during the school year. In 1921, the title changed to Vermont Alumni Weekly, reflecting a much more ambitious publication schedule. From 1937 to 1980, alumni publications appeared monthly under eight different titles and in several formats. Since 1980, the alumni magazine has been published quarterly for alumni, parents of students, faculty and staff, and friends of UVM.

The collection includes entrees, side dishes, appetizers, breads and desserts, and draws recipes from a variety of sources, including commercial cookbooks, regional cookbooks, and community cookbooks.

                  Tennie Toussaint Photographs
                    • Date Created: 2007-04-10

The mill owned by Sanborn had previously been run by the McFarlands and produced one million board feet a year at its peak.
                    Miniature of Vermont Cynic
                    Vermont Cynic
                      • Creator: University of Vermont
                      • Date Created: 1883-2010
                      • Description: This collection includes issues of the University of Vermont student newspaper published from April 1883 to May 2010. The publication appears as the University Cynic from 1883 to 1908. It was issued every three weeks until 1899 and biweekly until 1908. More of a magazine than a newspaper during these years, it included sections such as general literature, letters, sciences, personals, locals (with a subsection for "base ball"), books, exchanges (news from other college papers), alumni notes, and editorials. In May 1908 a title change to Vermont Cynic and Monthly reflected a weekly publishing schedule, with three issues of news followed by a magazine issue each month. The next fall, the student staff offered the UVM campus a weekly newspaper with the title The Vermont Cynic, leaving production of literary magazines to other student groups. The Cynic appeared every week during the academic year with free distribution on campus. Editorially independent, the Cynic provided a student perspective on news and events related to the university and the local community, with occasional reporting on national news and issues. As a forum for discussion and debate, the paper included editorials, opinions and letters from readers. In 2001, the Vermont Cynic added digital publication. Print was suspended in spring 2020 and briefly resumed in fall 2020. Confronting financial challenges and a decline in print readers, after a second attempt to restart print distribution in 2022, the Cynic became an online publication. In 2024 and 2025, special print issues were published. An anonymous donor funded digitization of the Cynic in partnership with the Internet Archive, which presents issues published from 1883 to 2009. Print issues from 1883 to the present are available in the Silver Special Collections Library.
