Series 6: Tarahumara (Rarámuri) contains photographs from 1971, 1977-1978 in Chihuahua, Mexico and 1979 in Arizona at the Arizona State Museum. The Rarámuri, or Tarahumara, are Native people from the Northwest region of Mexico. Located in the state of Chihuahua, in a portion of the Sierra Madres known as the Sierra Tarahumara, the Tarahumara people as of 2016 number between 50,000 and 70,000 many who still practice traditional lifestyles. Helga Teiwes took three trips to Mexico to visit the Tarahumara taking the bulk of photographs in this series on her first trip in 1971. Unlike the majority of Teiwes's photographs from other communities, many of her Tarahumara subjects are unnamed perhaps due to the language barrier, and are marked simply as "Tarahumara Woman" or "Tarahumara Man." Teiwes photographed women weaving, women cooking meals in their cave dwellings, men working the fields, as well as many landscape views between Creel and Los Mochis. In 1977 Teiwes returned to Panalachic, Mexico to photograph Tarahumara dancers. In 1978 Teiwes photographed the Tarahumara group, which included a violin maker and dancers, that came to Arizona in 1979 for the Arizona State Museum exhibit featuring Tarauhmara material culture. The majority of the photographs in this series are 6x6cm black and white negatives and 35mm color slides.

Scope and Contents:

This subseries (Subseries 3.2) includes photographs of Navajo families and individuals from 1977, 1979-1982 and 1990 from Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. This includes the Black family (Douglas Mesa, UT), Evelyn Rose Curley (Ganado, AZ), Gaile B. Davis (Tsaile, AZ), the Greyeyes family (Tsegi Canyon, AZ), the Greymountain family (Navajo Mountain, UT), the Huskons (Cameron, AZ), the Jackson family (Monument Valley, AZ), the Kee family (Vanderwagon, NM), Priscilla Neboyia (Chinle, AZ), Agnes Sorrel Horse (Shiprock, NM) and Alice Yellowman (Chinle, AZ). The photographs range all types including black and white and color negatives as well as slides and transparencies.

Teiwes spent a significant amount of time with the Greyeyes family in and around Tsegi Canyon particularly photographing Bessie Salt Greyeyes, the matriarch of the family. Bessie and Pete had eleven children (Ray, Jack, Leo, Irvin, Leonard, Ned, Leon, Alice, Avylena, Jean and Nadine) some of whom are photographed with their own children by Teiwes. In addition to photographs around town, doing laundry and shopping, Teiwes captured images of Bessie at home weaving in her hogan, tending goats and sheep, carding wool and cooking, often surrounded by family. Pete, who worked for the Peabody Coal Mine also allowed Teiwes to photograph him at work (see Subseries 3.3). Teiwes made several prints of her photographs of Bessie and Pete Greyeyes including an image of Pete and Bessie together, Bessie with her goats, Bessie weaving and Bessie shopping. These are listed alongside their corresponding negatives.

Series 7: Tohono O'odham contains photographs from 1969-1995 and 2002. The Tohono O'odham people live primarily in the Sonoran Desert of Eastern Arizona and Northwestern Mexico. As of 2016, the Tohono O'odham Nation has around 28,000 enrolled members and covers about 2.8 million acres of land. Helga Teiwes visited the Tohono O'odham Nation frequently over the years, taking a particular interest in the the annual saguaro fruit harvest, called Hasan Baihi. The harvested fruit was once used as a vital food source and is still used today to make jam and wine that is used in a ceremony to bring rain to the desert. This series contains photographs from 1982 of Juanita Ahill and her family gathering the saguaro fruit and processing the fruit to make jam and the ceremonial wine, called nawait. Juanita Ahill's niece, Stella Tucker, continued the tradition. Photographs from 1994 show Stella Tucker and family gathering the Saguaro fruit and canning of the jam and wine. Other events Teiwes photographed included the San Xavier elders parade, the San Xavier Powwow as well as the Tumacacori Fiesta. In addition to events, Teiwes photographed the daily lives of people she visited with. The photographs contain images of men plowing the fields and farming as well as women such as Anna Sarficio, Aloisa Juan, and Frances Manuel, weaving and making pottery. Photographic types include 6x6cm black and white and color negatives, 35mm color slides, transparencies and photographic prints. The prints (8.5x8.5cm), which are from the 1982 Saguaro cactus harvest, were made from the 6x6cm color negatives.

Descriptive Entry:

These records are the official minutes of the Board. They are compiled at the direction of the Secretary of the Smithsonian, who is also secretary to the Board, after approval by the Regents' Executive Committee and by the Regents themselves. The minutes are edited, not a verbatim account of proceedings. For reasons unknown, there are no manuscript minutes for the period from 1857 through 1890; and researchers must rely on printed minutes published in the Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution instead. Minutes are transferred regularly from the Secretary's Office to the Archives. Minutes less than 15 years old are closed to researchers. Indexes exist for the period from 1907 to 1946 and can be useful.

Historical Note:

The Smithsonian Institution was created by authority of an Act of Congress approved August 10, 1846. The Act entrusted direction of the Smithsonian to a body called the Establishment, composed of the President; the Vice President; the Chief Justice of the United States; the secretaries of State, War, Navy, Interior, and Agriculture; the Attorney General; and the Postmaster General. In fact, however, the Establishment last met in 1877, and control of the Smithsonian has always been exercised by its Board of Regents. The membership of the Regents consists of the Vice President and the Chief Justice of the United States; three members each of the Senate and House of Representatives; two citizens of the District of Columbia; and seven citizens of the several states, no two from the same state. (Prior to 1970 the category of Citizen Regents not residents of Washington consisted of four members). By custom the Chief Justice is Chancellor. The office was at first held by the Vice President. However, when Millard Fillmore succeeded to the presidency on the death of Zachary Taylor in 1851, Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney was chosen in his stead. The office has always been filled by the Chief Justice since that time.

The Regents of the Smithsonian have included distinguished Americans from many walks of life. Ex officio members (Vice President) have been: Spiro T. Agnew, Chester A. Arthur, Allen W. Barkley, John C. Breckenridge, George Bush, Schuyler Colfax, Calvin Coolidge, Charles Curtis, George M. Dallas, Charles G. Dawes, Charles W. Fairbanks, Millard Fillmore, Gerald R. Ford, John N.

Scope and Content Note:

The papers of weaver, textile designer, and consultant Dorothy Liebes date from circa 1850-1973 (bulk 1922-1970) and comprise 24.7 linear feet. Through biographical material including a sound recording of an interview, family and general correspondence, writings including a draft of Liebes's autobiography, subject files providing detailed records of her influential consulting work, financial and legal files, printed material, scrapbooks, artwork, textile samples, and photographic material picturing a wide variety of career and personal activities, the collection provides rich and extensive documentation of Liebes's career and personal life.

Biographical material consists of awards, biographical notes, membership and identification cards, passports, a will, and a sound recording of a 1945 interview with Liebes.

Correspondence is personal with family and friends, and general with friends and colleagues including artists, and fellow weavers and designers. Notable correspondents include Dorr Bothwell, Daren Pierce, Beatrice Wood, and Frank and Olgivanna Lloyd Wright.

Diaries and calendars record Liebes's busy professional and personal life, with notations on daily activities and, beginning in 1952, detailed notes by staff recording activities at the studio on days when Liebes was absent.

Writings by Dorothy Liebes include notes, drafts, and manuscripts of published and unpublished writings, including an autobiography, speeches, and drafts for an unpublished book on weaving.

Subject files contain correspondence, printed material, photographs, and miscellaneous items in varying combinations, and focus heavily on Liebes's consulting work for businesses in the textile industry, including her work with DuPont, Bigelow-Sanford, Goodall, Dow, and others. The files document the importance of her work as a colorist and show how she successfully adapted craft weaving to machine methods. Furthermore, they record how Liebes used her marketing instincts and broad media appeal to rebrand the image of companies such as DuPont from one of chemistry and utility, to one that represented high style and glamor in durable and practical fabrics that were affordable and desirable in home furnishings. Other subject files document organizations, individuals, and topics of interest to Liebes, including files recording her involvement with arts and crafts organizations, her role as director for the Decorative Arts Display at the Golden Gate Exposition in 1939, her work as director of the Red Cross's Arts and Skills workshop, scattered exhibition records, and files on weavers and weaving. Files on Liebes's extensive promotional work for multiple clients are also included here, as are files documenting Liebes's relationship with Relman Morin, such as correspondence and scattered records of Morin's career as a Pullitzer Prize winning journalist.

Financial and legal records are comprised of accounting records from the 1930s-1940s, financial summaries, investment statements, personal and business inventories, personal and business tax returns, and some legal records.

Printed material includes advertisements, articles, and exhibition announcements and catalogs, recording Liebes's career. This material is supplemented by thirty-three bound scrapbooks of printed publicity material, photographs, and documents recording Liebes's career in substantial depth.

Artwork by Dorothy Liebes consists of designs, feather weavings, a small hooked composition, and tapestry samples. Artwork by others includes prints by Dorr Bothwell, designs by Lawrence J. Colwell, and painted sketches of clothing designs by Daren Pierce. Two linear feet of samples consist primarily of textile swatches primarily designed by Dorothy Liebes Studio, Inc.

Photographic material includes professional portraits of Liebes and others, photos of Liebes at events and parties, with staff and other weavers, at work in her studio, and traveling. Of note are a series of pictures taken at Taliesin West with Frank and Olgivanna Wright, Relman Morin, and others. Photographic material also provides examples of Liebes's design work in homes, hotels, offices, and elsewhere, and shows her work pictured in exhibitions and showrooms. Photographs of other subjects include portraits of unidentified women by Man Ray and Consuela Canaga.

Biographical Note:

California and New York weaver, textile designer, and consultant Dorothy Wright Liebes (1899-1972) was known for distinctive textiles featuring bold color combinations and unusual textures achieved through the use of materials such as glass rods, sequins, bamboo, grass, leather, ribbon, wire, and ticker tape. Her work with companies in the synthetic fiber industry to make craft weaving compatible with man-made fabrics and machine looms, produced an innovative and exciting new aesthetic in interior design that was both functional and affordable, and made Liebes a mid-century household name.

Born Dorothy Wright in Santa Rosa, California, Liebes was the daughter of chemistry professor Frederick L. Wright and teacher Bessie Calderwood Wright. She studied art, education, and anthropology at San Jose State Teachers College and the University of California, Berkeley. During her college years, a teacher encouraged her to experiment with weaving and textile design since many of her paintings resembled textiles.

Liebes was a teacher for several years before deciding to pursue a career in textile design. She then studied weaving at Hull House in Chicago and traveled to France, Italy, Guatemala, and Mexico to learn the traditional weaving forms of those cultures. Upon her return to the United States, Liebes opened her first professional studio for weaving and textile design on Powell Street in San Francisco; Dorothy Liebes Design, Inc. was established in 1934, and eventually employed a staff of weavers. Liebes moved her studio to 545 Sutter Street in 1942.

Her first client in the industry was Goodall-Sanford Mills, with whom Liebes worked as a consultant for more than a decade. As her client base expanded, she decided to open a New York studio and maintained both studios until 1948 when she closed her San Francisco operation and relocated to New York City.

Liebes became a color and design consultant to corporations such as DuPont, Dow, and Bigelow-Sanford and tested and promoted newly developed synthetic fibers. She advised textile chemists in the development of fibers that were versatile enough to produce many different textures and worked with engineers and technicians to develop new machines that could reproduce the irregularities of hand-loomed fabrics. Liebes became a sought-after speaker by textile industry and consumer groups, and sometimes taught workshops on color and design.

Liebes's commissions included the United Nations Delegates Dining Room, the Persian Room at the Plaza Hotel and the King of Saudi Arabia's traveling royal throne room. Between 1937 and 1970, Liebes participated in more than thirty solo and group exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, de Young Museum, Cranbrook Museum, Detroit Institute of Art, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Museum of Contemporary Crafts, and other venues. She received prizes and awards from institutions and corporations such as Lord and Taylor, Neiman-Marcus, the Paris Exposition, the American Institute of Decorators, the American Institute of Architects and the Architectural League. She was also awarded the Elsie de Wolfe Award and an honorary degree from Mills College in 1948.

Liebes's other notable activities included her work a director of the Decorative Arts Display for the 1939 San Francisco World's Fair, which she credited with establishing her as an authority in the field, and her work as organizer and director of "Arts and Skills," a Red Cross occupational therapy project that included training in weaving for soldiers injured in World War II. In the 1950s, she worked with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, journeying though the southwest to study Indian schools and weaving techniques.

Liebes was married to businessman Leon Liebes from 1928 until their divorce in 1940 and continued to use the name Liebes for the remainder of her life. In 1948, she married Pulitzer prize winning Associated Press special correspondent Relman "Pat" Morin.

During the last year of her life, Dorothy Liebes was semi-retired due to a heart ailment. She died in New York City on 10 September 1972.
