Companion Piece Can Be Obtained At Companion Information for the Newspaper in Education Insert Preserving America’s Heritage: National Historic Preservation Act 40th Anniversary There are so many history stories told through natural and cultural heritage resources that it would be difficult to print anything much smaller than the land mass of North America to contain them all. So, a short newspaper insert on this subject necessarily had to be illustrative, rather than comprehensive. However, because the National Historic Preservation Act 40th Anniversary insert didn’t have room for even one story from each state or include more than a handful of the organizations involved in important preservation efforts, this companion document offers more information on historic preservation that may have added value to educators and readers across the country. Stories covering more than 20 additional states are included here, as well as more detailed information about other aspects of historic preservation such as how to find a career or a volunteer opportunity in the field. Also offered for newspapers and classrooms are a number of additional Web resources and the location of photographs that can obtained and used to illustrate some of these stories. That information follows each section in the document.

It’s a large and growing field, as more and more people understand the importance of preservation, and it offers wonderful opportunities for personal involvement as either a volunteer or a professional. There are myriad ways to get involved in historic preservation yourself. From the Newspaper in Education insert and the additional information in this complementary piece, you now should be aware that you can help advance preservation directly simply by keeping your eyes open and learning more about the history of the area that surrounds you and that you visit. For example, as an individual you can help prevent future burial desecrations by keeping an eye out while visiting cultural properties and reporting anything suspicious to the appropriate government and law enforcement agencies. You can and should alert authorities to any possibly unwarranted intrusion or invasion of historic properties by “pot hunters.” These people search to find—and steal—relics like Revolutionary War musket balls, Civil War uniform buttons, and shipwreck souvenirs from public or private property. You can help in preservation by making yourself and others aware that the proper course in visiting any natural or cultural heritage site is to “take nothing but photographs; leave nothing but footprints.” Well, it’s also OK to take notes and impressions and memories, but in some places it is not OK to leave even footprints—at least not visible ones. Agencies like the Bureau of Land Management have formal programs where volunteers keep watch over sensitive sites. National Parks have “friends” programs where volunteers work to take special care of public lands and heritage resources. So do many state parks across the nation. You can join these efforts as a volunteer. You also can join or form preservation organizations and neighborhood historic associations. You can be a volunteer in a historic house museum or property. You can be a docent in a museum or heritage site. Your state historic preservation office, tribal historic preservation office, or local historic preservation organization are also great places to ask about volunteer opportunities. Volunteering is a great way to not only take an active role in historic preservation but to learn more about its many aspects. Perhaps becoming aware and involved as an individual and volunteer will lead you to a career in preservation. Historic preservation careers involve incredibly diverse fields: teaching, archeology, architecture, law, urban planning, landscape architecture, tourism, government, museum curation, communications, business, non-profits, public policy advocacy, arts and crafts, design, technology, research (both historical and technical), construction—and that’s just a start. Historic preservation careers can be highly localized, or broadly international, or anywhere in between. There are more than 50 American universities and colleges offering historic preservation majors of some description, which is remarkable when you consider that the very first such higher education degree program was created in 1973.

The nearly 79,000 districts, monuments, buildings, and sites on the National Register also provide insights into what people in individual communities think is worth preserving. They offer opportunities on the local, state, regional, and national level for both travel destinations and educational opportunities. Plus, the National Register is a way to get involved in historic preservation. Students, teachers, individuals, and organizations aware of historic properties that meet the criteria for listing but are not yet recognized can prepare and send nominations in, working in conjunction with local and state preservation organizations and offices. Also included in the National Register are all historic areas in the National Park System and more than 2,300 National Historic Landmarks, which have been designated by the Secretary of the Interior because of their importance to all Americans.

  • Parked! How Congress' Misplaced Priorities Are Trashing Our National
    Dear Taxpayer, Visitors to national parks have been threatened with trespassing charges, obstructed from paying their respects at a memorial to those who lost their lives in service to our country, and turned away from other National Park Service sites closed due to a lack of funding. All of this began occurring before the government shutdown in October. Perhaps more than any other part of the federal government, our National Park System has become the symbol of Washington, DC dysfunction. These cherished national treasures, which were entrusted to the National Park Service to be preserved and protected, have instead been neglected or abused for political gamesmanship. Long before the government shutdown and sequestration, congressional shortsightedness and bureaucratic mismanagement were already plaguing our national parks. Barricaded parks across the country exposed the calamity in Washington in 2013, but the National Park System has long been a microcosm of the irresponsible and misplaced priorities within the entire federal budget. Just as important programs like Medicare and Social Security have been raided for decades to pay for politicians’ pet projects, Washington has also plundered the National Park Service budget to create new parks and programs with little national significance. And as the lack of budget discipline has driven up the national debt and jeopardized the solvency of retirement programs and our nation’s future, the misplaced priorities within the parks budget are endangering the care of the very sites we all revere. Our elected representatives have been too focused on their own parochial political interests to see the state of disrepair that has befallen some of our greatest national treasures.

    University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Department of History The Triple Play Twentieth Century Representation of Baseball in Wisconsin Jacqueline McKay Advising Professor: Jane Pederson Spring 2013 Copyright for this work is owned by the author. This digital version in published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire with the consent of the author. i Abstract Wisconsin has a rich history rooted in immigrants, industry, and sporting culture, all of which played a role in the history of baseball. Baseball's history throughout the state has changed because of major historic events but also with the guided assistance of three memorable men. The role Raymond Gillette, Henry Aaron, and Allen Selig played in the history of Wisconsin's story in the sport of baseball gives it a unique past, and rare evolution of the game unmatched by other states. Following the story of these men and the shift in baseball's importance during World War II, Wisconsin's story of baseball has changed from being a part of industrial worker culture, to the sport as a major industry itself. Each of these men has provided a different aspect of the sport and their importance is equal, yet unmatched. ii Acknowledgment I would like to thank my professor Dr. Jane Pederson as well as Erin Devlin, my mentor on the project. Without their guidance and support with the paper I would have had a much more difficult, and less enjoyable experience. I would also like to thank Raymond Gillette, Henry Aaron, and Allen Selig for the tremendous effect that have had on baseball in the state of Wisconsin, and although I do not have the resources or connections to thank them personally, their impact is what made this project possible.

One’s first impression may be of size and distance—broad valleys rimmed by mountain ranges, with a huge sky arching over all. However, a closer look reveals that, beneath the broad brush strokes, this is a land of astonishing variety. For example, it is comprised of several kinds of desert, year-round flowing streams, and sky island mountain ranges.

Final Landmark Recommendation adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, July 7, 2011 CITY OF CHICAGO Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Department of Housing and Economic Development Andrew J. Mooney, Commissioner Bureau of Planning and Zoning Historic Preservation Division The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommend- ing to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within a designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. White Castle # 16 43 E. CERMAK RD. BUILT: 1930 ARCHITECT:LEWIS E. RUSSELL (WITH LLOYD W. RAY, CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE WHITE CASTLE SYSTEM OF EATING HOUSES, INC.) Located at the corner of E. Cermak Rd. and S.
