late 18th and early 19th centuries than there are of New England vernacular chairs of the same period (and this is particularly important for the earliest material). Additionally, the Holden collection includes archaeological examples, particularly glass and ceramics. For many collectors, to be sure, pots and bottles that have the wear and damaged that is expected of “dug” objects are not highly favored,
however, there are many serious regional collectors who still find value in this material as it provides the best evidence of what was being used in that region at during a specific time period. Certainly, no archaeological examples have been valued as highly as intact examples.
A few additional notes on the inventory:
For the convenience of the client, donors, and museum, the collection was organized largely to conform to the inventory prepared by the donors/collectors. In other words, items are here presented individually or in groups as they appear in the inventory provided. Additionally, the Holden inventory numbers were preserved and appear in parentheses in the header of each item, and are used in any item commentary when referencing another item in this report.
Also, for many of the larger groups of items, only a selection of the items are shown in the accompanying photograph (in most cases, this is also noted in each record). Additionally, for the collection of Acadian textiles, the descriptions written by Judith Rygiel, PhD, were retained largely as-is (thus the formatting varies from the standard for this report). Finally, some of the French terms used in the period and, in some cases by collectors today, are preserved as they were provided in the collectors’ inventory.
