Times Machines Project Presentations at Petershiem 2025

At this year’s Petershiem Academic Exposition, students participating in the Archives’ Time Machine Project got the chance to present their research they have been working on all year.

The Time Machines Project, now in its second year, offers up to 5 undergraduate students the chance to explore a wide variety of materials– including objects, rare books, periodicals, manuscripts, prints, clothing, relics, paintings, pottery, tools, and more– to create projects that showcase the importance, relevance, and appeal of these materials using contemporary media. Throughout the process, participants collaborate closely with Archives and Special Collections staff as well as a faculty mentor, refining their research and analytical skills while gaining foundational knowledge in archival practices and procedures.

Congrats to these students on their hard work and a job well done! Continue reading below for each student’s proposal:

Jacob Mudd:

Jacob Mudd is a sophomore Creative Writing and Visual and Sound Media double major with a minor in English. His project is inspired by Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy, looking at the role magic played in medicine in the late medieval early Renaissance periods. It includes a creative grimoire that contains a variety of medieval illnesses and their magical cures and is accompanied by a paper that looks at answering the question of whether it would be moral to use magic in medicine from the perspective of someone living during that time.

Mickey O’Brien:

Mickey O’Brien is a senior communications major. His project was to transcribe a recording the Walsh library had of Kenneth Burke, an important communications theorist and rhetorician, speaking at Seton Hall in the 1980s. A call was made by the Kenneth Burke society to see what’s on this tape, so his research is fulfilling that call. He also planned on discussing the findings on the tape with Burke experts on campus, Dr. Radwan, Dr. Kimble and Dean Crable.

Wania Shabee:

Wania Shabee is in her second semester here at Seton Hall University who is pursuing a degree in Biology. Her project for time machines is based on Dr. Francis Monroe Hammond’s papers, who was able to pioneer Minority Academics, especially in a time in America with such great civil distress. Wania created a written piece that focuses on the life and accomplishments of Dr. Francis Monroe, which primarily focuses on his contributions to academia, diplomacy, racial injustice, and improving intercultural, and interregional connections. The format of this written piece is structured as an academic paper, which includes a thorough examination of the life of Dr. Hammond’s career including historical, social, and political elements.

Olivia Pasciucco:

Olivia Pasciucco is a senior History major and Russian & East European Studies minor. She will be graduating this May and aspires to have a career in Museum Education. Olivia’s Time Machines project is: The Sicilian Carretto: A Moving Canvas of Heritage and Storytelling. It is a YouTube video about the Sicilian carretto, what it is, historical background, and cultural significance. For the sake of this presentation, Olivia has provided a PowerPoint presentation for everyone today.

Max Kastner:

Max Kastner is a sophomore majoring in Social & Behavioral Sciences and Modern Languages. Utilizing archival copies of Seton Hall’s student newspaper, The Setonian, their project focuses on Seton Hall’s reaction to 9/11 as a Catholic Institution of Higher Education.

#ManuscriptMondays

Welcome to Manuscript Monday, where every week on Monday during the month of May different manuscripts in the Herbert Kraft Manuscript and Book Leaves Collection will be highlighted! The Herbert Kraft Collection consists primarily of pages from printed books, however there are a few handwritten manuscripts. In the overall collection, the dates range from 750-1950 CE, however in Manuscript Mondays Renaissance manuscripts from the 1400s-1600s will be focused on.

Manuscript Monday is a collection of blog posts written by Helen Jakubowicz, a junior anthropology and history student at Seton Hall. She interned with the Archives and Special Collections for the Spring 2025 semester, and enjoys working with material culture such as religious art and books. She was drawn to this collection not only due to their religious nature, but also because of Dr. Herbert Kraft himself, who was a professor of anthropology, as she wanted to delve deeper into his collection. She loved working with these sources and she hopes you enjoy exploring them as well!

Leaf from a 13th century liturgical book, with “small letters, neat outlines, and the predominance of blue and gold making it unmistakably French in origin” according to Professor Kraft. To learn more about the Herbert Kraft Manuscript and Book Leaves Collection, see the link here.

Monday, May 12th

1. Manuscript Breviary, 1430 CE (illuminated manuscript):Breviary: a book containing the service for each day, to be recited by those in the orders of the Roman Catholic Church (prayers of the canonical hours). This specific breviary was written in Flanders, which is a Dutch-speaking area in Northern Belgium. The pages contain large side panels decorated with bright colors of foliage such as flowers, berries, and leaves. There are also strokes of bright blue, which look like water coming out of the plants. In the text itself, the color continues. There are large illuminated drop caps of red and blue within the gothic script, all containing liquid gold.
From Hortus (Ortus) Sanitatis, 1491 CE (early woodcuts): This woodcut contains details of the healing properties of specific natural elements such as bread, vegetables, herbs, and minerals. A surprising inclusion is cheese! From an image on the woodcut, there could be possible religious connotations to the cheese because there are crosses on them. There are many different copies of the Hortus Sanitatis in many different archives around the world. While Seton Hall only has a few pages, the Smithsonian Library has a full copy.^[1]
Latin Manuscript of South Italy, 1460 CE: In these pages from a Missal, there are color coded texts signifying what the speaker should do during that part. For example, the text written in red ink indicates the speaker to read silently to themself instead of to the whole congregation. There are also red and blue drop caps sprinkled throughout the text itself, giving the pages a pop of color besides the blocks of red text in the normal black.

Walsh Library Highlights Collections Around the World

You may have noticed some new posters of various objects—from vases to manuscripts, coins to magazine covers–hanging behind the Circulation Desk in Walsh Library. These twelve posters are the result of an initiative led by the Archives & Special Collections. Seton Hall University has always served a diverse demographic, with its first class including students from South America as well as North America. However, the diversity within our history is sometimes overlooked. “As a Catholic university archive, I don’t think students realize the variety of materials we have outside of the walls of Seton Hall or the Catholic faith,” says Martha Slomczewski, Special Collections Assistant who spearheaded this initiative. “I wanted a way to showcase the kinds of objects and materials we have that you might not expect.”

Instead of the Archives and Gallery staff choosing the objects themselves, Slomczewski sought to engage the students directly by putting the decision to a vote that was publicized on social media and in person through tabling outside of the dining hall every week throughout the semester. Thirty objects were compiled by the Archives and Gallery team. Students used a google form to cast their vote on the objects that they wanted to see, allowing them to vote for up to 10 objects at a time. After a month of casting votes, the top twelve were selected. Now students no longer have to wait for a class visit or research appointment to see these extraordinary materials.

The posters will remain on display for the foreseeable future. You can make an research appointment to view any of these objects by filling out the form here.

Bishop Joseph A. Francis’s Pastoral Letter on Racism

To celebrate Black History Month we want to spotlight collection materials that relate to Black History (you can read our blog post on the papers of Dr. Francis Hammond, Seton Hall’s first Black professor, here). Today we will be highlighting the Bishop Joseph A. Francis collection, and more specifically, his pastoral letter on racism published in 1979.

Joseph Francis was ordained as a priest in 1950 and became the fourth African American Roman Catholic bishop in the country, and the first ordained in the Northeast. Bishop Francis was a pioneering figure in the discussion of race and religion, and one of the first in the Catholic church to openly speak out against racism. In 1979, he authored a significant pastoral letter addressing the sin of racism within both the Church and broader society. In this letter, Bishop Francis unequivocally condemned racism as a sin that “divides the human family” and “violates the fundamental human dignity” of individuals. He emphasized that racism contradicts the teachings of Jesus and undermines the unity of the Body of Christ.

The impact of Bishop Francis’s letter was profound, particularly within the African American Catholic community. It served as a catalyst for dialogue and action against racial injustice in the Church. His leadership and advocacy contributed to the establishment of initiatives aimed at promoting racial healing and inclusivity. Notably, Bishop Francis was instrumental in founding Verbum Dei High School in the Watts section of Los Angeles, a predominately Black community, demonstrating his commitment to education and empowerment. His efforts have left a lasting legacy in the fight against racism within the Catholic Church.

A People’s History: Surveying the Archives of the Sahrawi People

This image depicts three individuals, two wearing hijab, standing in front of a desert-style archives building.

Archives are the backbone of our collective memory, a vital thread connecting us to our past, informing our present, and shaping the future. While the perception remains of Archivists locked away in basements amongst dusty shelves and locked cabinets—and trust me, we find ourselves there often!–sometimes the work leads to unexpected projects and places. In November of 2024, Dr. Sarah Ponichtera, Assistant Dean of Special Collections & the Gallery, and Professor Joseph Huddleston of the School of International Relations and Diplomacy, headed to the Sahara Desert to conduct a survey of materials in multiple repositories cared for by the Sahrawi people—a partially recognized state governed by the Polisario Front since 1976. These materials were created by these people, for these people—documenting their history, colonization, and struggle for liberation and independence.

Two ancient musical instruments sit in a museum display case.

The start of this project began with a simple inquiry from Professor Huddleston in regards to digitization of materials. Huddleston explained the challenges of conducting research in the Sahrawi refugee camps, where he had studied the foreign policy of the Polisario government in exile. Huddleston worked with the Sahrawi people and foreign ministry for many years, and the last time he was there he was granted access to a repository of rare materials but found the information to be in a vulnerable state. The materials are located in a very remote area that is extremely challenging to get to, where there is limited access to the internet and sometimes even electricity. Since the Sahrawi government is not technically part of Algeria, they are not afforded the same resources or services as the rest of the country. Recognizing how important these archives are to not only Huddleston’s research, but to researchers across the world, he sought to digitize the materials himself on his next trip so that he can make this information widely available.

Collaboration between faculty and the archives in a university is common, but for the most part, it is a simple request and exchange of information within the confines of the archives or email. They work within the same spheres, but rarely within the same level of activity. Here there is a unique collaboration between these spheres to conduct a field analysis together—Dr. Ponichtera can bring advice and insight into archival practices of caring for physical materials and process and procedures for digitization, where Huddleston can emphasize how these applications will help to preserve the collective history of these people for generations to come. The goal of this trip was to conduct a survey of materials– what materials are there, how many boxes and containers, getting a better sense of what types of materials there are, what equipment will be needed, and how many people will be needed in order to digitize the collection in a future phase.

Shelves hold a variety of obsolete audio video formats, from audio tape to cassettes to VHS recordings.

Upon arrival, Huddleston and Ponichtera faced a variety of challenges, but also triumphs. First off there were far more collections than previously thought—5 different repositories under 5 different ministries, each with their own levels of care. The archives of the ministry of information, for instance, started as the archive of the local radio and television station that had been documenting the Sahrawi struggle since the 1970s. This poses issues because of so many different formats, different kinds of magnetic tape, and the overall evolution of media that will require specialists to repair and digitize it. There is also the fact that an active conflict is going on in the Western Sahara and sensitive information is sometimes found mixed in with materials meant for public access. And then there is the matter of properly storing the materials themselves. While an NGO from Austria came and built a state-of-the-art archival building that is secure, contains collection storage shelving, and has temperature/humidity control, there is a strong need for folders, boxes, and new types of archival housings for fragile materials such as photographs for which the technology has radically improved within the last decade.

But what Ponichtera and Huddleston want to stress is the tenacity, kindness, and dedication of the Sahrawi people themselves. There is currently a team of 7 professionals who maintain this archive and want to make it accessible to everyone. They have developed their own organizational structure of the materials which fit their specific preservation needs. These materials are not neglected—far from it—it is a just a matter of the lack of resources they currently have which is a sentiment archives from around the world can relate to. What they have been able to preserve in both volume and diversity of materials, is as remarkable as it is inspiring. During their time living within the camp with Sahrawi families, Ponichtera noted how community-minded this community is—anywhere you go you are welcome with open arms, a place to stay, and a warm meal. The creative and independent spirit developed by living in a hostile climate like the Sahara sets the future of this project in good stead. Now that the survey has been conducted, the Sahrawi archivists are creating updated descriptions to enable future researcher access. When this is complete the planning for the full digitization project will begin.

This project is more than just preserving some materials—it is a living repository, a chance for the Sahrawis to tell their OWN stories and experiences, a way for researchers to perhaps change and enrich their understanding of the world. Isn’t that what history is all about?

100 Years of The Setonian

The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University celebrates the 100^th anniversary of The Setonian, the official undergraduate student newspaper founded in 1924. For more than a centennial the paper has been the the voice of the University community, delivering coverage from all angles of campus. From reporting on the frontlines of student-led protests to dissecting the latest fashion trends, The Setonian has remained steadfast in its reporting. The paper also serves as a training ground for journalists and reporters while upholding the First Amendment. The exhibition explores the beginning of the newspaper, envisioned by student John Erigena Robinson in a diary entry dated 1873 through the present day with stories of the paper’s hiatus during COVID-19, its subsequent return online, and then, in print. The exhibit pairs news articles with objects from the gallery and archival collections in themed sections that borrow from the format of a traditional print paper.

The exhibition celebrates the dedicated students that worked at the newspaper over the past century while diving into key themes and stories in the history of the paper, student life and the University. Sections include Greek Life, Sports, ROTC, and Editorials. The exhibition was made possible through the work of many people on campus, – especially the staff and advisors of The Setonian, but also the student researchers and fellows, interns, archivists and gallery staff that each had a role in documenting, preserving, transcribing, researching and displaying the wealth of materials on view.

Celebrate the exhibit and this 100 year milestone with us on October 24th, from 4-6pm in Walsh Gallery. There will be refreshments and an opportunity to gather with current and former Setonian staff. We hope to see you there!

In addition, we’re happy to share with you that much of the historic run of the Setonian is now available digitally! Starting last semester, the archives began to digitize early additions of The Setonian that are currently only available to view via microfilm. In digitizing these files, they will be able to be accessed by not only Seton Hall students and faculty, but the general public as well. You will be able to follow the progress of the project here, as new digital editions will be linked here as they are published. They will also be available through the archives regular research portals Archivesspace and Preservica.

UPDATE: The first 30 years have been digitized! You can access them via Archivesspace here.

Time Machines: Final Project Results

On Wednesday, April 24h, as part of the 8th annual Petersheim Exposition, our five Time Machines researchers presented their final projects to an audience of their peers, advisors, and faculty. In addition to the presentations, the Archives staff displayed all of the objects that were featured in the presentations.

Pegi Bracaj

Object of Choice: The Miriam Rooney Papers

To tell the story of Miriam Rooney, Bracaj created a three episode podcast entitled “The Echoes of the Archives: Unveiling Hidden Gender Narratives at Seton Hall”. The first episode “delves into the university’s gendered past, from its origins as a male-only institution to its transition to coeducation.” The second episode “explores the often overlooked stories of women within the university’s archives. ” The third and final episode dives deeper into Miriam Rooney herself, uncovering “Rooney’s achievements as the Dean of Seton Hall University School of Law, her academic and professional journey, and her multifaceted contributions to the community.” To supplement the podcast, Bracaj also created a webpage that provides a brief biography of Miriam Rooney and details her collection of papers held here in the Archives. You can view Bracaj’s project here.

Eman Fatima

Objects of Choice: Coin, Mughal Dynasty; Coin, 1/4 Anna

Eman Fatima, who moved to the US from Pakistan at age 16, wrote an op-ed entitled “The Construction of Two Coins: The Past and the Present”. The piece utilizes the two coins as symbols of just how far reaching the impact of British colonization had on and continues to have on South Asia.

Austin DelSontro

Object of Choice: The Setonian Newspapers, 1924-2024

Inspired by the 100th anniversary of The Setonian, Austin DelSontro originally sought to examine the entire Setonian archive, but instead chose to focus his research on The Setonian in the 1960s upon learning the publication was briefly banned in 1964. In his presentation, DelSontro selected a few stories from the 1960s, such as Seton Hall transitioning into a coed institution, the Setonian ban and the protests that erupted as a result, and a retrospective on the 1953 men’s basketball team and their experience at the NIT championship. In addition to his presentation, Delsontro also created his own newspaper in both a physical and digital format. You can view the digital version here.

Collin Doyle

Object of Choice: Journal of Roy Fitzsimmons, 1937-1938

Collin Doyle took the research from the Roy Fitzsimmons’s journal documenting the MacGregor Arctic Expedition and through Mathmatica, produced three-dimensional maps that represent the same part of the Arctic that was traversed during the expedition. In doing so, Doyle illustrated the importance of climate consciousness through the creation of interactive visualizations of sea level rise. Doyle also presented a poster that features direct quotes from the journal.

Hope Mahakian

Object of Choice: WWII Ration Books, 1943

Hope Mahakian, dressed in 1940s inspired attire, presented her video on the history of ration books and how they were used during WWII, followed by her friends’ attempts at recreating popular recipes during the US rationing period. The first half of the video is edited in the style of a 1940’s informercial, while the recipe recreation was done more like a modern day vlog. You can watch the video for yourself here.

Congratulations to all of our student researchers on a job well done, and a special thanks to the Archives staff and faculty advisors for your support throughout this project!

Time Machines: Meet the Researchers!

The Time Machines project, which supports undergraduate research in Special Collections, is off to a great start. The sheer diversity of the projects—podcasts, a map of climate change in the Arctic, even a cookbook —showcase just how diverse primary source-based research can be. Read on to learn more about our student researchers, their proposals, and how their projects are going thus far.

Pegi Bracaj

Object of Choice: The Miriam Rooney Papers

Pegi Bracaj is a political science student with aspirations for a career in law upon graduation. She was drawn to the papers of Miriam Rooney, the founding dean of Seton Hall Law School and the first female dean of a law school in the United States. Pegi decided to expand upon the primary source material by creating a multi-episode podcast series. The first episode will be dedicated to Rooney’s life as based on the archival findings. In later episodes, she plans to “contextualize Miriam Rooney’s accomplishments in the context of the broader legal history, showcasing her influence on subsequent generations of female lawyers”. Through interviews with current female lawyers at Seton Hall Law School, Pegi seeks to connect Miriam Rooney’s life to the ongoing discussion and challenges faced by women in the legal sphere today.

Ashley Skladany

Object of Choice: Collection of 1967 Newark Rebellion Newsclippings

Ashley focused her project on the 1967 Newark Riots and its impact on the campus through two mediums-an academic paper and a podcast. As a technical producer of the Global Current, the official international affairs podcast of SHU’s School of Diplomacy, Ashley will utilize her skills to record and edit a podcast that interviews individuals who attended the university at the time or who were impacted.

Eman Fatima

Object of Choice: Coin from the Mughal Dynasty ; Coin, ¼ Anna

Eman Fatima spent the first sixteen years of her life in Pakistan and describes her interest in history and decolonization stemming from a lack of substantial education on British colonialism (particularly in South Asian countries) in schools’ curriculum. In wanting to explore how colonialism has molded and continues to mold the identity, culture, and daily life in South Asian society, Eman intends to write an academic paper comparing two coins: one from the Mughal Dynasty, and the other from the 17th century amid British rule over India and Pakistan.

Collin Doyle

Object of Choice: Journal of Roy Fitzsimmons, 1937-1938*

Collin came to the Archives upon hearing that the Archives had recently acquired the journal of Roy Fitzsimmons (SHU class of 1937), a physicist and polar explorer who took said journal on the MacGregor Arctic Expedition from July 1, 1937 – October 4, 1938. The goals of the expedition were to conduct a magnetic survey, collect weather data, photograph the aurora borealis and study its effects upon radio transmission, and to explore the area northwest of Ellesmere Island. Collin intends to create a data visualization project incorporating computer algebra systems such as Mathematica to generate 3D maps, as well as contour plots, of the arctic landscapes explored by Roy Fitzsimmons in the late 1930s, with the goal of highlighting the effects of climate change over the last century. Through this medium, Collin seeks to “breathe life into the journal’s observations” while providing commentary on the urgency of climate change and the threat it poses to our society and planet as a whole.

*Journal is not currently available online but is available to view at the Archives by appointment.

Hope Mahakian

Object of Choice: WWII Ration Books, 1943

Hope, a History major, has always been interested in the effects of WWII on the American home front. When researching possible items for this project she came across the WWII ration books but was not initially interested in pursuing them. However, after a trip to the Archives and viewing the object for herself, research questions began to emerge–”Who is or was the person that owned them? What were they used for? What do the different stamps mean? Why were some used more than others?” After discovering that all the ration books were owned by women, who were most likely in the same family, Hope decided to take a more personal approach to this project by creating her own cookbook based on the recipes that were created or became more popular due to rationing. In addition, she intends to also create a short video in the style of a 1940s infomercial, complete with filters and wardrobe choices to create the proper aesthetic, where herself and fellow actors cook the recipes themselves. Through both of these mediums Hope intends to convey what rationing looked like and how it differed across different types of families.

Austin DelSontro

Object of Choice: Setonian Newspapers, 1924-2019

Inspired by the 100th anniversary of The Setonian, Seton Hall’s student run newspaper, Austin approached this project wanting to explore not only how campus life has changed over the course of 100 years, but what has remained the same. Further, Austin’s research will focus on the evolution of writers, the topics covered over the years, and the response to significant cultural/political events over the past 100 years. While Austin’s primary project will be an academic paper, he also intends to supplement a digital component, such as a website or a blog, and use images to illustrate key differences. Austin is also exploring the possibility of creating his own personalized newspaper, inspired by The Setonian itself, to provide a comprehensive overview of his research findings.

Final projects will be shared with the community in April 2024. Stay tuned for more updates—we cannot wait to see how they will turn out!
