Preferred Citation [Identification of item], Wood California State Landmarks Advisory Committee Papers, Mss151, Holt-Atherton Department of Special Collections, University of the Pacific Library Biography Richard Coke Wood (1905-1979) was a professor of California History at the University of Pacific in Stockton, Calif. (1950-1976). During those years he published several works on the history of the southern Motherlode, including Calaveras,The Land of Skulls (1955) and Murphys, Queen of the Sierra (1968). Wood also published a college textbook: CaliforniaHistory (1963). In 1965 he was first named to the California State Landmarks Advisory Committee by Gov. Edmund G. Brown. He was later reappointed by Gov. Ronald Reagan. Wood served as a member of the Commission through 1976. Commission members served without compensation for terms of four years. They were empowered to conduct a state-wide inventory of historic sites, including State Historical Landmarks, National Register items, and Points of Historical Interest. They were to review applications for various types of historic landmark status, to recommend the attributes necessary for achieving landmark status, and to recommend to the Dept. the type of plaque and descriptive wording to be used in Register of the Wood California Mss151 2 State Landmarks Advisory Committee Papers, 1965-1976 marking historic sites. They were expected to review and recommend state-wide history plans to the Dept. of Parks and Recreation. The Commission was also charged with maintaining a record of all archeological sites in California. Scope and Content Wood's committee papers consist principally of applications by various site sponsors for placement of their sites on the National Register of Historic Places. They are of particular interest in that they contain background and detailed research information about little-known buildings and locales. The papers also include applications for Registered California Landmark and Point of Historical Interest status, as well as minutes and agendas, policy and procedural information, and correspondence relating to the activities of the State Landmarks Advisory Committee.

  • Yolo County Cannabis Land Use Ordinance Draft Environmental
    Ascent Environmental Cultural Resources 3.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES This section analyzes and evaluates the potential impacts of the project on known and unknown cultural resources as a result of adoption and implementation of the proposed CLUO, including issuance of subsequent Cannabis Use Permits pursuant to the adopted CLUO. Cultural resources include districts, sites, buildings, structures, or objects generally older than 50 years and considered to be important to a culture, subculture, or community for scientific, traditional, religious, or other reasons. They include prehistoric resources, historic-era resources, and tribal cultural resources (the latter as defined by AB 52, Statutes of 2014, in PRC Section 21074). This section also analyzes archaeological, historical, and tribal cultural resources. Paleontological resources are discussed in Section 3.7, “Geology and Soils.” Archaeological resources are locations where human activity has measurably altered the earth or left deposits of prehistoric or historic-era physical remains (e.g., stone tools, bottles, former roads, house foundations). Historical (or architectural or built environment) resources include standing buildings (e.g., houses, barns, outbuildings, cabins), intact structures (e.g., dams, bridges, wells), or other remains of human’s alteration of the environment (e.g., foundation pads, remnants of rock walls). Tribal cultural resources were added as a distinct resource subject to review under CEQA, effective January 1, 2015, under AB 52. Tribal cultural resources are sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are either included or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) or local registers of historical resources.

  • Cultural, Paleontological, and Tribal Cultural Resources
    Chapter 7—Cultural, Paleontological, and Tribal Cultural Resources 7.1 Introduction This chapter describes the existing conditions (environmental and regulatory) and assesses the potential cultural, paleontological, and tribal resources impacts of the 2020 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (proposed MTP/SCS). Where necessary and feasible, mitigation measures are identified to reduce these impacts. The information presented in this chapter is based on review of existing and available information and is regional in scope. Data, analysis, and findings provided in this chapter were considered and prepared at a programmatic level. For consistency with the 2016 MTP/SCS EIR, paleontological resources are addressed in this chapter even though these resources are grouped with geology and soils in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines (SACOG 2016). Impacts to unique geologic features are addressed in Chapter 9 – Geology, Soils, Seismicity, and Mineral Resources. Cultural resources include archaeological sites or districts of prehistoric or historic origin, built environment resources older than 50 years (e.g., historic buildings, structures, features, objects, districts, and landscapes), and traditional or ethnographic resources, including tribal cultural resources, which are a separate category of cultural resources under CEQA. Paleontological resources include mineralized, partially mineralized, or unmineralized bones and teeth, soft tissues, shells, wood, leaf impressions, footprints, burrows, and microscopic remains that are more than 5,000 years old and occur mainly in Pleistocene or older sedimentary rock units. In response to the Notice of Preparation (NOP), SACOG received comments related to cultural and tribal cultural resources from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) and United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria.

Abstract: Collection comprises duplicate and original records of the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), dated between circa 1790 and 2011, with most records dating between 1933 and 1965. The bulk of the collection consists of duplicate HABS documentation for historic buildings and places in California and the National Park Service's Western Region, although the collection also includes fragmentary records for non-Western states, Panama, and Mexico. Buildings of historical merit, both “antique” (pre-1860) and newer, are recorded. Copies of official HABS documentation include photographic prints, negatives, photographic pages, inventory work sheets, photograph-data book reports, measured drawings, and other materials, prepared and submitted by the program’s surveyors. These materials are supplemented by administrative files, correspondence, survey notes, sketches, field notebooks, essays, ephemera, newspaper clippings, and other published materials.

Date range 1966 - 2011 Biography Brit Andresen was born in 1945 in Trondheim, Norway. During her childhood, Brit travelled to Australia on several occasions while her father worked as an engineer on large hydroelectric projects from 1951 to 1963. She completed her Bachelor of Architecture in 1969 from Trondheim University, Norway. In 1977 Andresen moved to Australia to work in what was intended to be a temporary full-time position with the University of Queensland. She went on to be the first female appointed in the Department of Architecture. It was here she met Peter O’Gorman. They married in 1980 and set up the practice Andresen O’Gorman Architects. Their work has been awarded and internationally published, which includes a special edition of UME 22 (2011). O’Gorman died in 2001. In 2002 Andresen was the first female recipient of the RAIA Gold Medal. Andresen’s concern in the 1980s about the rapidly disappearing Australian architectural heritage led to two projects – one with Michael Keniger and a number of students entitled “Main Street: Queensland country towns” and the other “Anglican Churches in the Diocese of Brisbane. The latter project was also to become the topic of Andresen’s PhD dissertation. After 33 years at University of Queensland, Andresen retired in in 2010 and was appointed Emeritus Professor in the School of Architecture.

Reichardt ABSTRACT Purpose of the Study: Hoping to gain a better life for their families, Chinese men immigrated to California at the start of the Gold Rush in the mid-19th century. Despite prejudice and anti-Chinese legislation, the Chinese of California were a major force in the shaping of the American West by building the transcontinental railroad and using their farming prowess to establish California as one of the major agricultural giants of the United States. Once pushed from these roles, they moved into urban centers, settling into ethnic neighborhoods where they could maintain their cultural identities.

There are no other historical landmarks or interpretive facilities that reflect the ethnic background of the majority of the community. The Bockias-Orr House owned by the Pajaro Valley Historical Association commemorates the Anglo pioneers of Watsonville, while the Agricultural History Museum at the Fairgrounds interprets the farming heritage of the valley. The acquisition of the Rancho San Andrés Castro Adobe was consciously made to preserve and interpret the only remaining building of the Mexican Rancho era of California remaining in the Pajaro Valley and the finest example of a rancho hacienda in the Monterey Bay region.

    ARCHAEOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURE OF THE OVERSEAS CHINESE: A BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled by Peter D. Schulz and Rebecca Allen Emigration from southeastern China over the last few centuries represents one of the most important population movements of modern history. Deriving primarily from Guangdong and Fujian, emigrants were attracted first to Taiwan, then southeast Asia, North America, and Australasia, as well as many other areas of the globe, where they occupied an amazing variety of social and economic roles. This movement has attracted the attention of Western observers since at least the middle of the 19th century, when overseas Chinese (Huáqiáo) immigrants began arriving in the gold fields of California and Australia, and soon aroused the interest of Western social scientists. Beginning with early descriptive studies (Ratzel 1876), these observers have dealt with a variety of issues, including ethnicity, sojourner status, migrant and industrial labor, middleman minorities and entrepreneurial capitalism. In California alone, Huáqiáo immigrants and their descendents played crucial roles in the development of so many industries that one important early historical study (Chinn et al. 1969) devoted considerable effort describing only the major ones. In the mid-1990s, the SHA published a series of bibliographies that documented archaeological references concerning the immigrant experience in North America. This bibliography is intended to be an extension of that series. It is inevitable that any bibliographic effort involving an active area of research will be immediately out of date. For that reason, we are publishing these references on the SHA website, where readers will have immediate and efficient access, and we can periodically update the information.

DEDICATION: JIM TONEY (1930-2014) This Strategic Plan is dedicated in loving memory of Jim Toney, a long-standing member of the Board of Directors and an ardent supporter of California State Parks . Jim served in many capacities at Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks: board chair, secretary, treasurer, committee chair, mentor and friend . He was a visionary and driving force in our efforts at the Castro Adobe, The Forest of Nisene Marks and virtually every other project Friends has supported for over 14 years . Words cannot do justice to Jim’s impact on the Friends organization, and even in the development of this Strategic Plan . All members of the Board of Directors will hold the memory of our strategic retreat in a special place in our hearts, as those are our last memories of Jim . As ever, his ideas that day were full of grand ambition and delivered with great wit and a twinkle in his eye . Many of his thoughts and ideas from that day can be found in the following pages . Jim provided sage advice and always delivered it with a warm smile . We are grateful he chose to use his talents to support state parks . The best way we can think to honor Jim’s memory is to implement this plan to the fullest extent possible, realizing so many of the dreams he had for Santa Cruz State Parks .
