• W1499681136 abstract "WE ARE AT THE MID-POINT of the three hundredth anniversary year of Franklin's birth. It may seem to some of you that this celebration has been going on for a very long time. But believe me, we are only partially done. The massive exhibition that we developed to mark this occasion will soon begin its travels around the United States, and eventually to France. As of this day, almost two hundred thousand people will have visited the Tercentenary's exhibition here at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, and it's safe to say that a million or so will see it by the end of its travels in March 2008. So, this seems like a good opportunity to ruminate on the cultural work of this anniversary, side by side with the last celebration of Franklin, in 1956. Let me begin by offering a thumbnail sketch of the Benjamin FrankUn Tercentenary. It is a consortium of Philadelphia institutions that began collaboration in the late 1990s to plan for Franklin's three hundredth birthday. The American Philosophical Society, the Franklin Institute, the Library Company of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the University of Pennsylvania developed a proposal to create a major traveling exhibition that would feature their extraordinary Franklin treasures. Although the consortium members remained at the core, the project grew, the Tercentenary incorporated, and soon there was a Tercentenary Federal Commission and a sizable staff charged with carrying out ambitious programming. Much of the initial inspiration for the three hundredth birthday celebrations came directly from the events produced in Franklin's honor in 1956. By all accounts, the celebrations had been wide-ranging and the occasion a opportunity for Philadelphia institutions to strut their stuff. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania mounted an exhibition of Franklin material, The Franklin Institute staged a variety of programs and published a topical pamphlet series, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts exhibited Franklin portraits, and the American Philosophical Society had, only two years earlier, embarked with Yale University on the editing and publication of Franklin's papers, a project that is still very much in progress, thirty-seven volumes later, with a projected nine volumes to come. The APS-YaIe partnership has resulted in the most comprehensive picture of Franklin ever. The Papers project has allowed countless biographers and scholars to time-travel to meet Dr. Franklin, know his moods and preoccupations, exalt over his successes, sympathize with his aches and pains, and, along the way, learn the stuff of a life that can be told in exquisite detail. The Papers of Benjamin Franklin project is daunting-I dare say, to all involved-but it has had the effect of throwing off the bedclothes (something with which Franklin was a bit obsessed) and exposing Franklin to the cold air of twentiethcentury scrutiny. All of this scrutiny, enabled by the legacy projects of the 1956 celebration, has worked its way into the shaping of the 2006 celebration. The celebrations of fifty years ago had an orientation that radiated from Philadelphia outward. According to the records of the Anniversary Committee, which was based at the Franklin Institute, scholarly papers were proposed (and presumably delivered) in Argentina, France, Japan, Peru, England, and Germany, while at the Vaishnava Theological University in India a special Franklin Day would be observed. The Anniversary Committee suggested that the themes of the celebration be advanced by Scientists, Authors, Educators and Business Men, and follow a practical, orderly pattern in the four fields of human [in which Franklin] served: science, sociology, economics and international relations. In short, Franklin was to be presented as a symbol of progress, and maybe not so much as a historical figure from a distant time and culture. As I read through the ambitious plans for Franklin's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, I couldn't help but note that the great fields of human endeavor that would convey Franklin's meaning across the globe were not fields recognized by Franklin and his contemporaries. …" @default.
