Helen Keller, New England Historic Genealogical Society Announces discovery of Helen Keller photo

New England Historic Genealogical Society Announces discovery of Helen Keller photo. (Link to non Public Domain Image)

NEHGS recently acquired a large family collection from Mr. Thaxter Parks Spencer. Located within the collection is a truly remarkable photograph of 8-year old Helen Keller, while vacationing with her teacher, Anne Sullivan, in Brewster, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This one of a kind image gives new insights into the wonderful life of Helen Keller.

Copyright of the newly found image: All patrons should be aware of the revised Copyright Act of 1976 (which took effect on January 1,1978). It provides protection for all unpublished material (as is the case with this image) from the time of creation (in this case 1888) for the life of the author (in this case unknown) plus seventy years or to 2002 (whichever is greater). All patrons accept full legal responsibility for observing the copyright law, as well as legislation concerning libel, invasion of privacy, property rights and fair use.

Since the creator of this work is unknown (see press release PDF) the date that it became or will become public domain can only be estimated. Using the formula of current law, if the photographer was 25 at the time, 1888 and lived another 50 years to die at the age of 75 in 1938, the 70 year waiting period until the work would enter the public domain would start on December 31st of that year regardless of the actual date of death. Therefor the image would enter the public domain on January 1, 2009. if using the same example the person lived until 85 the date for entrance to the public domain would be January 1, 2019

The only reliable formula for estimating entrance to the public domain that can be trusted beyond any reasonable doubt would be as follows: The photographer was 0 years old at the time 1888 and lived for 122 years 164 days, this is the oldest documented and fully validated supercentenarian ever (see Jeanne Calment) and will die in 2011. On December 31st of that year the 70 year waiting period from the date of death of the artist (post mortem auctoris) would began and on January 1st 2082 this image would enter the public domain;

We see that many other usually reliable sources (see Wikipedia) are claiming this image to be in the public domain because of the pre 1923, 1888 year of creation. This only applies to PUBLISHED works and then only in the United States.

We offer below the closest in time, 1897 and subject image that is public domain please enjoy and feel free to comment (editor)

Women's History Month From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Women's History Month is an annual declared month in the United States that highlights contributions of women to events in history. March is declared Women's History Month.

The annual event traces its beginnings to the first International Women's Day in 1911. In 1978, the school district of Sonoma, California participated in Women's History Week, an event designed around the week of March 8 (International Women's Day). In 1981, responding to the growing popularity of the event, Congress passed a resolution making Women's History Week a national holiday. This week was well received and soon after schools across the country began to have their own local celebrations.

The next year, leaders from the California group shared their project at a Women's History Institute at Sarah Lawrence College. Other participants not only became determined to begin their own local Women's History Week projects but also agreed to support an effort to have Congress declare a national Women's History Week. In 1981, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Rep. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) cosponsored the first Joint Congressional Resolution proclaiming a "Women's History Week." Soon, other state departments of education began to encourage celebrations of National Women's History Week as a way to promote equality among the sexes in the classroom.

Maryland, Pennsylvania, Alaska, New York, Oregon and other states developed and distributed curriculum materials all of their public schools, which prompted such events such as essay contests. Within a few years, thousands of schools and communities got on the bandwagon that was National Women's History Week, with the support and encouragement from governors, city councils, school boards, and the U.S. Congress. Congress legally expanded the focus to a whole month in 1987. Since then, the National Women's History Month Resolution has been approved with bipartisan support in both the House and Senate.

Go Red For Women: A Program to Educate Women about Heart Dx:

To increase awareness among women about the importance of getting rapid and appropriate treatment when experiencing symptoms of a heart attack the KSC Occupational Health Program has joined with the Wuesthoff Medical Center & the AHA to participate a nationwide campaign called “Go Red For Women” to educate women about the #1 threat to women’s health.

For whatever reason, women tend to downplay symptoms or underestimate their severity. Surveys have indicated that, in general, women wait about a half hour longer than men to go to the emergency room when they first suffer heart attack symptoms. With more than 250,000 people a year dying within one hour of the onset of cardiac symptoms and
before they reach the hospital, women need to recognize their symptoms and take action. Go Red For Women IN PDF FORMAT

Women's History Month Victorian Era Writer Ouida

Ouida From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Ouida (January 7, 1839 – January 25, 1908) was the pen name of the English novelist Maria Louise Ramé (although she preferred to be known as Marie Louise de la Ramée). Ramé was born in Bury St. Edmunds, England, to a French father and an English mother. She derived her pen name from her own baby-talk nickname for "Louise". During her career, she wrote more than 40 novels, children's books and collections of short stories and essays. She was an animal rights activist and animal rescuer, and at times owned as many as thirty dogs.

While the Revolution was still being fought, Mum Bett declared that the new nation’s principle of liberty must extend to her too. It took eighty years and a far more terrible war to confirm the rights she demanded. by Jon Swan THE SLAVE WHO SUED FOR FREEDOM

Mum Bett, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mum Bett, later known as Elizabeth Freeman, was born to New York slaves in Claverack, New York, circa 1742. At the age of six months she and her sister were sold to John Ashley of Sheffield, Massachusetts, who she served until 1780. During that time she married and had a child. Her husband was killed in fighting during the Revolutionary War.

In 1780, Mum Bett prevented her mistress from striking her sister, Lizzy, with a heated shovel and was struck instead. She immediately left the Ashley house and refused to return.

Go Red For Women mobilizes women to join cause, fight heart disease

DALLAS — Go Red For Women Day. A national observance created by the American Heart Association, on Friday Feb. 2, 2007 thousands of people, including employees at more than 3,000 companies, national and local news anchors and talk-show hosts will wear red to support the cause. The red dress and the color red are symbols for women and heart disease and the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement.

The Red Dress Pin – Get One. Give One. Thousands have already added the red dress pin to their fashion accessory collection to support the women and heart disease movement. This year, women are urged to get two free red dress pins – one to wear and one to share with someone they care about. You can get the pins by calling 1-888-MY-HEART.

Thousands of Americans will help women fight heart disease when they participate in the fourth year of the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women initiative, as it gears up again in February.

Go Red For Women began in February 2004 to raise awareness that heart disease is women’s No. 1 killer. The grassroots campaign has since grown into a vibrant national movement as more women, men, celebrities, healthcare providers and politicians embrace and elevate the cause of women and heart disease.

The campaign provides women tips and information on healthy eating, exercise, and risk factor reduction, such as smoking cessation, weight maintenance, blood pressure control and blood cholesterol management.

“In 2004, we discovered an alarming fact — that women still don’t know heart disease is their No. 1 killer,” said Alice Jacobs, M.D., former president of the American Heart Association. “In fact, more women still believe that cancer is the greatest health problem facing them today. Go Red For Women is beginning to change that.”

Sponsored proudly by national sponsor Macy’s, with additional support from the PacifiCare Foundation and Bayer Aspirin.

Anyone can join Go Red For Women by calling 1-888-MY-HEART (1-888-694-3278) or visiting americanheart.org.
