He and his wife Vicki live in Sonoma, California with their dog Jacob Junior. Jim grew up in New Orleans. While in high school, he got involved with Civil Rights activities. At Grinnell College, in Iowa, a friend gave him a children's book, The Bat Poet, which changed his life path. Jim graduated with the first B.A. in children's literature in the United States. Like a folklore character, he wandered for years, in and out of libraries and library schools. At Louisiana State University he compiled a list of children's books published in the South before the Civil War. After graduation, he moved to a plantation and worked for the state library as the librarian at Angola Prison. Jim rode the Greyhound to California in 1980 and soon began researching children's books published in California since 1836. He's working on a digital exhibition California Fairy Tales from the Gold Rush to Hollywood. Jim's interest in the history of children's books grew into an interest in the history of children, which evolved into a 'child-centric\" approach to California history workshop that he taught for years through California colleges and universities."},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":["Silverman, Jim"]},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by Jim Silverman in the <a href=\"https://find.sonomalibrary.org/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=%22Silverman%2C+Jim%22&te=&rt=false%7C%7C%7CAuthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">library catalog</a>"},{"label":"Author Website","value":"View <a href=\"http://www.thisweekincaliforniahistory.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">personal or professional website</a> for Jim Silverman"},{"label":"Search Author in Open Library","value":"Search for works by Jim Silverman in <a href=\"https://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=Silverman+Jim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Library</a>"},{"label":"Author's Place(s) of Residence","value":["Sonoma"]},{"label":"Sort Title","value":"Jim Silverman"},{"label":"Significant Title","value":"California Kids"},{"label":"Digital Archives Identifier","value":"jim_silverman"},{"label":"Digital Archives Collection Name(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Date Added","value":"2018/01/24"},{"label":"Filename","value":"jim_silverman.jpg"},{"label":"Title","value":"Jim Silverman"},{"label":"Item Type","value":["Text"]},{"label":"Item Format or Genre","value":["Biography files","Bibliographies","Portraits","Photographs"]},{"label":"Search SC Local Arts for this Author or Artist","value":"<a href=\"https://digital.sonomalibrary.org/documents?filter_363=jim_silverman&applyState=true\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jim Silverman</a>"},{"label":"Collection(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Author Name (Controlled)","value":["Jim Silverman"]}],"description":"Jim Silverman","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/728013bb-8f61-4a7c-9854-d8e1e1a9c1d0/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"Jim Silverman","height":450,"width":450,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/728013bb-8f61-4a7c-9854-d8e1e1a9c1d0/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/728013bb-8f61-4a7c-9854-d8e1e1a9c1d0","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1]}]},"height":450,"width":450},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/728013bb-8f61-4a7c-9854-d8e1e1a9c1d0/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/728013bb-8f61-4a7c-9854-d8e1e1a9c1d0/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/728013bb-8f61-4a7c-9854-d8e1e1a9c1d0/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/logo"}
