  • Stories of Scouting in the Panama Canal Zone March 2016
    Camping in the Jungle: Stories of Scouting i n the Panama Canal Zone | 1 Camping in the Jungle: Stories of Scouting in the Panama Canal Zone March 2016 – August 2016 Smathers Library, 1st Floor George A. Smathers Libraries, University of Florida Curated by Sarah Marek, with assistance from Jessica Marcetti and Lourdes Santamaría-Wheeler Often heralded as the “gateway to the world”, the Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, merging water, commerce, and culture. Yet its surrounding area, the Panama Canal Zone, was a world unto itself. Extending five miles on each side of the canal, the Zone was controlled by the United States from 1903 to 1979. During that time, many U.S. citizens and their families, working on the construction and operation of the canal, made their homes there. Many Canal Zone residents viewed themselves as living a thoroughly American life. An important marker of the American lifestyle in the Canal Zone was scouting. Scouting activities included parades, jamborees, and community-wide fundraisers that brought people together and created a connection to the larger American culture. Perhaps it was also the sense of civic duty, so prevalent in the lives of Canal Zone residents, that fostered a natural connection to the values and activities that scouting embraces. While some elements of scout life, like the iconic uniforms and patches, are universal, many things made Canal Zone scouting a unique adventure. From carrying a machete to sleeping in jungle hammocks, Canal Zone scouts have fond memories of their exceptional experiences. Those experiences are highlighted by these objects, images, and stories from the Panama Canal Museum Collection.

  • Challenges in Diversity of Representation and Description in the Panama Canal Museum Collection at the University of Florida Elizabeth H
    Articles Curating Diverse Voices: Challenges in Diversity of Representation and Description in the Panama Canal Museum Collection at the University of Florida Elizabeth H. Bemis and John R. Nemmers The Panama Canal Museum Collection (PCMC) at the University of Florida documents the American era of the Panama Canal, with the majority of the materials dating from 1904 to 1999.1 To a lesser degree, the collection also preserves historical records relating to the Canal prior and subsequent to U.S. construction and operation. The official records of the Panama Canal Commission, the Canal Zone Government, and other governing agencies are preserved by the National Archives in the U.S., so a major purpose of the PCMC is to document the lives of the people who worked on the Canal and lived in the Canal Zone and in Panama during the American era. While the records in the National Archives document the activities and perspective of the U.S. government, the PCMC provides an opportunity for individuals with diverse voices and experiences to preserve and share their personal stories. The collection covers a vast and varied range of subject areas, including Canal operations, defense and security, labor, construction and maintenance, international politics, transportation, indigenous people, everyday life, health care, and education. Not only is the PCMC’s subject matter diverse, but the formats of the materials include personal papers, photographs, artifacts, audiovisual recordings, maps, and printed materials, such as school yearbooks, newspapers,
