Additional Biography:

Edwin AtLee Barber was Curator/Secretary of the Philadelphia Museum of Art from 1901 to 1907, Director/Curator from 1907 to 1916 and Honorary Curator of American Pottery and Porcelain from 1893 to 1916. His great interest was in pottery, porcelain, and ceramics, primarily early American works. A scholar and prolific writer, Barber wrote and published numerous articles on his specialty. He is considered a pioneering scholar in his field. Barber spelled his middle name with a capital L, as Edwin AtLee Barber, whenever the choice was left up to him, but others usually spelled it with a small l, including the Library of Congress.

Barber was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1851. His family included distinguished heroes of the Revolutionary War, as well as early captains of industry. When he was a child, Barber's family moved to Pennsylvania and then to Iowa, but Barber returned East for his schooling. He graduated from the Williston Seminary in East Hampton, Massachusetts, in 1869. He later attended Lafayette College where he earned a Master of Arts degree in English In 1880, and a Doctorate of Philosophy in 1893.

In 1874, Barber went West with the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories. The following year his travels took him to sites of Native American ruins in Utah and Arizona, where his interest in American pottery was likely stimulated. At this time Barber also was reporting for the New York Herald as a special correspondent. In 1879, Barber moved to the Philadelphia area to become a Post Office Superintendent and later an Officer of the United States Civil Service Examining Board.

After his relocation to Philadelphia, Barber became interested in museum work. In 1879, he was appointed Chief of the Department of Archaeology of the Permanent Exhibit in Fairmount Park, and in 1893, was appointed Honorary Curator of Pottery and Porcelain at the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art (now the Philadelphia Museum of Art). In addition, he was the Secretary of the Corporation and Curator from 1901 to 1916. In a letter to A. Morris Carter, Secretary to the Director of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Barber outlined his own tasks in a letter of February 25, 1907: “The Curator, who is also the Secretary of the Corporation and the various Committees, is acting Curator for all of the twelve departments of the Museum; he arranges and installs all of the collections, prepares all of the labels for printing; edits the Museum Bulletin and Annual Report, and prepares for publication all of the Guides, Handbooks, catalogues and Art Primers. He conducts the Bureau of Identification of Art Objects; collects the annual Membership dues; acts as Superintendent of the building and have direct charge of the guards and all other employees.” ("Series Ia.", Box 3, folder 2)

William Platt Pepper served as the Museum's director until his death in 1907. Upon Pepper's death, Barber's title changed from Curator to Director. Barber's tenure at the Museum occurred during a critical period of institutional growth and self-definition. Through Barber's influence, the Museum placed great emphasis on the decorative arts, a focus which has remained constant through the years. An avid collector and a recognized authority (specifically of Pennsylvania German pottery and early American glassware), Barber also authored the acclaimed text, Pottery and Porcelain of the United States.

Barber married Nellie Louise Parker in 1880. On December 12, 1916, Barber died of pneumonia, and was survived by his wife and their daughter.
