thread_title: help request

message: Hello. Are there any editors in the area of the Peabody Essex Museum who would like to help me get a picture a portrait of  Henry Pitman from the Peabody Essex Museum and possibly help me find any information on the portrait itself like date of creation and artist? I am not sure 100% sure if his portrait is even there but I am hypothesizing this base on the fact his mother Kinooleoliliha's portrait is there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:07, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey KAVEBEAR, I work at PEM.  I can pass on your request and see if there's anything in the collection. Where'd you find the image you posted? Erodley (talk) 20:59, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  I am not positive it is there. It is only a hunch or guess base on the fact his mother's portrait is in the museum and the similiar style it was executed with. I found the image of Pitman in this site hawaiisonsofthecivilwar, which talks about the Native Hawaiians who served in the Civil War and a documentary a group is creating about them. Henry is also called Timothy Henry Hoʻolulu Pitman on his family's grave marker in the Mount Auburn Cemetery here, so searching for a Timothy or Henry Pitman might help. He was half-white half-Hawaiian and served in the Massachusetts color regiment in the war and died at Libby Prison. His father was Benjamin Pitman, his brother was also a Benjamin Pitman, they were businessmen in the Massachusetts and Boston area during the 19th century, who lived briefly in Hawaii, and his sister was a Mary Pitman, although she moved back to Hawaii in later life. And searching Pittman might also help since I have seen the family's surname spell like that before too. I know how strict museums usually are about copyrights of the images they own; wikimedia usually bases it on the artist's copyright instead. If the musuem does have it, I just need to find out 1. who painted the image, 2. if the Musuem has it on display or if they have it on record/storage, and 3. what is the title of the piece and any descriptions that may come from records or a display plaque. If the Museum doesn't possess it, does the museum have any information about other members of the Pitman/Pittman family? Thank you very much!--KAVEBEAR (talk) 21:14, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi all,
I added announcements and citations for the retirement of the previous director, hiring of the current director, and date of the opening of the new building. I think that should address the concern of the section needing updated information. Erodley (talk) 13:58, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
