    2009 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY BodyVox, Foot Opera Files, (Photo: Michael Shea, Polara Studios): General Support WELCOME Reflecting on this past year of financial challenges, we are struck by the resilience, creativity and determination of people in our region. Last year as we wrote this letter we faced an uncertain future and RACC vowed to do everything possible to support artists and arts organizations through this tough time. While the future remains murky, we have positive things to report from this past year – details of which run through this annual report. Thanks to enlightened and committed elected leaders, RACC held its entire grants program whole and supplemented it with Work for Art dollars, which increased by 19%. People in our region care and they give. The Transit Mall reopened with 10 previously sited artworks cleaned, conserved and re-installed in new locations. Joining them were 14 new artworks, creating a sizable public collection of Northwest sculptures. RACC was delighted to partner with TriMet throughout this four-year undertaking and will be caretakers of all the public art on the mall. Americans for the Arts recently announced that RAcc’s Public Art Program is one of the top five award-winning programs nationally, which makes us very proud. The Right Brain Initiative continues to grow. All 20 original schools returned and Portland Public Schools was able to add three new ones. We anticipate having ever-greater evidence of the value of integrated arts learning at the end of this first full year of programming. We thank all of our partners, funders and participants for this growing success.

SMITI-I'S PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA A CHECK LIST OF BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST EDITION 3, REVISED AND EXTENDED BY ISABEL MAYHEW OREGON HISTORICAL SOCIETY BINFORDS Sc MORT, Publishers, PORTLAND, OREGON 1950 FOREWORD IN April 1908, Charles W. Smith, Assistant Librarian of the University of Washington, was induced by fellow librarians to prepare a co-operative check list of books and pamphlets relating to the Pacific Northwest and available in librar- ies of the region. A plan was agreed upon whereby each library furnished a card list of its holdings to Mr. Smith, who as compiler codified the records and edited the resultant union list. The volume was published in 1909 by the Washington State Library under the title, Check-List of Books and Pamphlets Relating to the History of the Pacific Northwest to be Found in Representative Libraries of That Region. The title indicates clearly that the intention of the compiler and his collaborators was to prepare a list of actual holdings and not a comprehensive bibliography. Twelve years later, most of the libraries had grown in stature and their hold- ings of Pacific Northwest Americana had more than trebled.It was time to prepare a second edition, revised and enlarged, and one might even say consider- ably improved for the librarians of the region had learned much about biblio- graphy in more than a decade of growth and experience. Ihis edition, bearing the short title, Pacific Northwest Americana, was published in 1921. Eighteen libraries co-operated in its preparation.
