    Historic Photographs

    Appendix F : Historic Photographs Historic Photographs Introduction In April 2013, the Project Design Team led by HDR Architecture, in association with Preservation Design Partnership, LLC and Plan One / Architects, began exploring the evolution of the Wyoming State Capitol from 1888 to present. With the help of the State of Wyoming Department of Administration and Information Division of Construction Management [AICM] and the Wyoming State Archives, the Design Team was able to obtain a number of archival photographs illustrating that evolving state of the Capitol exterior and interior throughout the building’s lifetime. The historic photographs, included as part of Appendix F, are organized in approximate chronological order and by collection. The chronological organization of the historic photographs illustrates the building evolution over time, including the major building campaigns and more subtle changes to the building. These changes include: • The presence of a wrought iron fence along the perimeter of the Capitol site • The configuration of the historic wood windows • The historic extent of gilding at the Capitol dome Performed in conjunction with parallel research of historic drawings, this information begins to tell the story of the building’s appearance and organization. How the Capitol changed over time, both architecturally and programmatically, is also evident. Analysis of the drawings and photographs contributed to our understanding of the building today, and how it has changed over time. Figure F0-1.

A Decade of Study into Repository Fees for Archeological S. Terry Childs and Seth Kagan Curation Archeology Program Studies in Archeology and Ethnography #6 National Park Service, Washington, DC 2008 Introduction Many repositories, particularly those associated with university and state museums, have a long history of providing curatorial services at no cost to the collection owners to manage, store, and care for archeological collections created during projects on federal, state, local, and private lands. At least two factors were involved in the development of this relationship. One was the enactment of the Antiquities Act in 1906. It required that “the gatherings” from an archeological investigation on federal land be placed “…for permanent preservation in public museums (16 USC 432),” such as university and state museums. The second factor was that university faculty and students were often involved in the archeological projects that created the collections of artifacts, ecofacts, and associated records.

    Study 1: Costs of Curating Archeological Collections

    Costs of Curating Archeological Collections: A Study of S. Terry Childs and Karolyn Kinsey Repository Fees in 2002 and 1997/98 Archeology and Ethnography Program National Center for Cultural Resources Studies in Archeology and Ethnography #1 National Park Service, Washington, DC 2003 Introduction Over two decades ago, it was argued that "...there is a critical need for the acceptance of responsibility, the development of guidelines, and the realistic assessment of costs for adequate curation of archaeological collections in the United States." (Marquardt et al. 1982:409). A curation crisis was developing at that time due to a sharp increase in federal- and state-mandated archeological projects. The collections and associated documentation which resulted often received inadequate care, storage, documentation, and accessibility for a variety of reasons (see also Ford 1977; Lindsay et al. 1979, 1980; Marquardt 1977). Notably, however, archeological collections and records are included within the legal definition of “archeological resources” in the United States and have been a matter of public interest and concern since the mid-19th century (McManamon 1996). The question now becomes in 2003: have constructive steps been taken to tackle this "curation crisis" or has it continued to grow? Evidence shows that some steps are being taken to improve the care of archeological collections and associated documentation for the long-term, while the constant influx of new collections continues (Childs 1996; Sullivan and Childs 2003). Although there still are some education issues related to broad acceptance of responsibility by archeologists, the promulgation in 1990 of the federal regulations entitled “Curation of Federally-Owned and Administered Archeological Collections” (36 CFR Part 79) has helped considerably.

Much of the information is applicable to work with folk traditions in general. The seven chapters include a brief description of what folklore and folk arts are and a survey of some folk traditions practiced in Wyoming. Two chapters address how to conduct research with folk art and artists, and how to coordinate local festivals. The chapter on folk arts in the classroom deals with research; student collections; museums; folk artists in the schools; field trips; senior citizens; and discipline-based art curriculum.
