	1	8888.0065.0000.00	documents	JOSEPH ROBINSON COLLECTION<CR>CHESAPEAKE BAY IN THE				Part of this collection is on CSC 16B1 his collection starts on 15D6 and continues to 16C1.JOSEPH ROBINSON COLLECTIONCHESAPEAKE BAY IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONBackgroundIn 1981 Tidewater Publishers of Centreville, MD, published a major work, Chesapeake Bay in the American Revolution. This volume was a project funded by the Maryland Bicentennial Commission, and was directed and edited by Admiral Ernest McNeill Eller, a former Director of Naval History for the U.S. Navy. Although the project was begun at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, it soon became apparent that it was more then the museum could handle, and Washington College at Chestertown, MD, became the headquarters for the project. The book consists of 14 chapters, each prepared by a different historian, covering a wide range of subjects dealing primarily with naval aspects of the revolution. Of particular importance to this collection are chapters 6 and 10. Chapter 6, by Myron J. Smith, Jr. (Dir. Of Libraries, Assoc. Prof. of History, Salem College, WV), and John Earle (naval architect and marine engineer), dealt with the Maryland State Navy; and chapter 10, by Joseph A. Robinson (1909-1998) (Research Fellow & Instructor, English History, U. of PA), discussed the British invasion of the Chesapeake. In the course of preparing these chapters, a large volume of historical material was collected by Robinson and Earle.In 2000 Joseph Robinson's widow, Madeline L. Robinson, donated the bulk of the material in the collection. Additional material from John Earle was donated in 2005.Scope and ContentMaterial in the collection covers the full period of the project, from the initial stages of the establishment of the project, through the research for the subjects of the two chapters mentioned above, to the preparation and publication of the chapters themselves. Both the Robinson and Earle material also includes comments and suggestions for other chapters in the book, especially chapter 3, by Arthur Pierce Middleton (former Dir. Of Research, Colonial Williamsburg), on ships and shipbuilding in the bay and its rivers. The collection contains numerous letters between Robinson, Eller, and Earle concerning the research and editing of the chapters. Earle in particular made many recommendations for additions and improvements in the text of each chapter, most of which were accepted by the editor and included in the final draft.Sub'ectsVessels:Galleys: Annapolis, Baltimore, Chester, Conqueror, Independence, Johnson, Snow.
