Now it is time to settle back into our routines. The kids are back in school, football sea- son has started (Go Hawks!) and baseball playoffs will be starting soon. I’m holding out hope that the Mariners might get the second wild card spot. It sure has been fun watching them this year. This issue is “chuck full” of great content, thanks in large part to Nancy Covert. Not only has she found the time to submit articles for our newsletter and the Subtimes online newspaper, she is now the author of another book, American Lake Vignettes, this one about Lakewood’s history. She has uncovered the history of two communities, Tillicum and Lake City, that have largely been forgot- ten. See details about the book on page 8 of this issue. Nancy’s book signing is scheduled for Sat., Oct. 11th at the Museum. By the time you are reading this we will only be a few weeks away from our “really big show”, “Salute Pierce County”. If you haven’t purchased your tickets yet, it is not too late. A whole lot of effort has been put into making it a memorable event you will not want to miss. The food and view are worth the price of the ticket. Another activity that the Society has been busy with this year is placing more historic markers. We are so fortunate to have re- ceived a grant from the Pierce County Historic Preservation Board that will help fund the placement of four more markers. See page 5 of this newsletter to see where the new ones are located.

By Nancy Covert There are seven early burial sites in the Lakewood region: Mountain View Cemetery, just off Steilacoom Boulevard, that marks its centennial in 2015, the pioneer cemetery on the grounds of Western State Hospital—a small area where early pioneers, such as Steilacoom’s first mayor (and Idaho’s Territorial Governor) William Wallace and his wife, Lucena, are buried; the Byrd Family Cemetery on the grounds of the South Puget Sound Urban Wildlife Interpretive Center, the Home of Peace Jewish Cemetery on Steilacoom Blvd SW, Western State Hospital’s patient cemetery in Ft.

    (UNCLASSIFIED) Information Paper AAMH 6 MAR 2018 SUBJECT: U.S. Army Museum Enterprise Overview - HQDA20180129X6RWYB DACOWITS RFIs for March 2018 1. Purpose – Answer the following three RFIs in support of Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services’ upcoming March 2018 Meeting a. What financial and/or manpower support do the Department/Services provide to various museums/memorials/education centers? b. Please specify dollar and full time employee (FTE) support by name of museum/memorial/education center and location. c. Please specify how supporting these museums/memorials/education centers contributes to your Department/Service’s Mission. 2. Background – As of 01 December, 2016, the Army organized its museums under the Army Museum Enterprise (AME), which was established by Army Directive (AD) 2016- 39. The AME is a management construct for managing Army Museums and is headquartered by Museums Directorate (MD) within the U.S. Army Center of Military History. The AME is composed of the following types of activities: a. Museums - Museums are appropriated fund entities organized on a permanent basis that use a professional staff, possess and manage historical artifacts and art, exhibit artifacts and historical materials, educate Soldiers and visitors on a regular basis, and meet the requirements of Army Regulation (AR) 870-20 and this interim policy. b. Training Support Facilities (TSFs) - TSFs are designed for the preservation and storage of obsolete, prototype, experimental, first production, and field-modified materiel (current technology) for military purposes. TSFs are exclusively for training Soldiers and supporting research and development, and therefore are not open to the public. c. Historical Collections - Historical collections are collections of artifacts and art that serve as repositories of technology and material culture and are maintained for research and the education and training of Army Soldiers and Civilians.

  • Warts and All: the Representation and Interpretation of War in Museums
    Warts and All: The Representation and Interpretation of War in Museums Rebecca Harmsen A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2016 Committee: Wilson O’Donnell Christoph Giebel Dan Hagedorn Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Museology © 2016 Rebecca Harmsen Warts and All 3 University of Washington Abstract Warts and All: The Representation and Interpretation of War in Museums Rebecca Harmsen Chair of Supervisory Committee: Wilson O’Donnell Museology The goal of this research was to address the issue of sanitization in the development, design, and presentation of exhibits about war. The definition of sanitization was to make a topic less offensive by limiting, altering, or removing anything that could be considered inappropriate or controversial for visitors. There was little available literature concerning how military museums interpreted the horrors of war within an exhibit and on the existence of sanitization. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were completed with military museums to determine their opinions on sanitization and the methods that they employed to create a balanced war exhibit. The research determined that strategic sanitization was an appropriate practice to utilize in some circumstances, which allows for the broad story to be told accurately while remaining sensitive to the audience’s sensibilities and the museum’s mission. A best practice recommendation list was created to guide military museums and other museums displaying and interpreting difficult stories in obtaining the relevant balance in their exhibits between historical accuracy and audience acceptance. Military museum professionals understand the necessity of displaying and interpreting challenging subject matter to the public; however, the degree to which exhibits display the horrors of war depends on the specific institution.
