Master's Thesis
Notes
Emily
Seymour
Goodwin
Holcombe
had a
long
,
active
career
as a
volunteer
preservationist
and
history
activist
in
Connecticut
,
beginning
in the
early
1890's
and
ending
with the
onset
of
World
War
I
. She
preserved
Hartford's
Ancient
Burying
Ground
,
created
the
Connecticut
Building
at the
Saint
Louis
Exhibition
,
arranged
for the
furnishings
of the
Oliver
Ellsworth
House
in
Windsor
, and
helped
save
the
Old
State
House
. This
paper
places
Holcombe's
work
in the
context
of
other
New
England
women's
historic
preservation
efforts
.
Some
historians
such
as
Kevin
D
.
Murphy
and
Gail
Lee
Dubrow
have
argued
that
men
displaced
female
preservationists
; this
paper
argues
a
more
complex
relationship
between
the
two
.
While
Emily
and
other
Connecticut
women
worked
hand-in-glove
with their
spouses
and
male
peers
to
achieve
their
goals
,
during
this
period
they were
able
to
retain
control
over
all
of the
portions
of the
projects
about
which
they
cared
most
. At the
turn-of-the
century
