BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT:

Charles van Ravenswaay was born in Boonville, Missouri, on August 10, 1911. His parents were Cornelius and Betty Lionberger van Ravenswaay. Van Ravenswaay's father, a native of Holland, came to the United States after having finished medical training in Europe; his mother was the granddaughter of Colonel William Talbot, an early settler of Loutre Island, Missouri. Van Ravenswaay attended local schools and then Kemper Military Academy. He graduated from Washington University, St. Louis, receiving a B.A. in 1933 and an M.A. in 1934 in liberal arts. In 1931, he toured Europe.

Van Ravenswaay's first job after graduation was with his father's medical and surgical clinic, where he served as business manager, 1934-1949. From 1938 to 1941, he was also the state supervisor of the U.S. Work Projects Administration's Federal Writers' Project, co-writing Missouri: A Guide to the "Show Me" State. From 1942 to 1946, van Ravenswaay was in the U.S. Navy, attaining the rank of lieutenant commander, and serving in the North Atlantic and South Pacific theaters.

From early adolescence Van Ravenswaay was interested in history, art, and architecture. Just after graduate school, he and Auguste Piaget, a St. Louis photographer, began to document early Missouri buildings. When Auguste died, his brother, Paul, continued the work. The collection of photographs that resulted from this collaboration was donated to the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1984. Even during wartime van Ravenswaay continued his study of Missouri history, writing numerous articles and becoming an expert in Missouri Creole decorative arts.

After his discharge from the service, van Ravenswaay served as director of three historical institutions: Missouri Historical Society (1946-1962), Old Sturbridge Village (1962-1966), and the Winterthur Museum (1966-1976). In addition, he was president of the American Association of Museums, 1961-1968. Van Ravenswaay served on several boards and received honorary degrees from Maryville College of the Sacred Heart (in St Louis), and the University of Missouri. In 1987, the U.S. Secretary of the Interior awarded him the Conservation Service Award for significant contributions to the preservation of America's heritage.

In retirement, van Ravenswaay published several books: The Arts and Architecture of German Settlements in Missouri: A Survey of a Vanishing Culture (University of Missouri Press, 1977), A Nineteenth Century Garden (Main Street Press/ Universe Books, 1977), and "Drawn from Nature": The Botanical Art of Joseph Prestle and His Sons (Smithsonian Institution Press, 1984). After his death, two other books were published:St. Louis: An Informal History of the City and its People, 1764-1865 (Missouri Historical Society, 1991) and Old Missouri (Patrice Press, 1992). He left two works in manuscript: "Andre Parmentier: America's First Professional Landscape Architect" and "Those Wonderful Old-Time Apples."

Charles van Ravenswaay died of cancer on March 20, 1990.
