John Shearer Research

less than .33 cubic ft.
Abstract Or Scope
This collection consists of genealogy research reports compiled by Melody C. Warner for Elizabeth A. Davidson in connection with her graduate thesis on furniture maker John Shearer. In order to develop a contextual framework for commentary incorporated in the decorative inlay or hidden within Shearer's work, Warner compiled records documenting individuals and families referenced in Shearer's notations as well as materials potentially documenting his family. The reports vary in content, but include genealogical records, timelines, and lineage charts.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
