  • History of St. Adalbert BM Church of Whiting, IN
    History of St. Adalbert BM Church of Whiting, IN. 50th Anniversary and Dedication St. Adalbert Church, Whiting, IN, p. 15-25.CAP at Orchard Lake. FOREWORD Fifty years have elapsed since this parish was founded, and we ask, what has happened during this time! Those golden years have gone by, like the clouds that swing in the blue horizon, and then disappear with the wandering wind. Pictures, like movies, pass thru our minds, bringing memories of people, places, happenings, days that were filled with heartaches and tears, happy days that like flowers in bloom, emitting aroma, erased our worries and cares. Great granddads, mothers and fathers, have passed into the great beyond, leaving their progeny, the only witnesses to corroborate the history of the founding of St. Adalbert B & M Parish here in Whiting, Indiana. There remain very few original members living among us today who can substantiate phases of this history; therefore, we turn to parish records, to families of these pioneers, for factual and detailed information and accounts, so necessary to formulate this memoir of the founding of St. Adalbert's parish from 1902 to this day 1953. We graciously thank them for their kind cooperation and helping hand that they so gladly offered. ______________________________ Among the sands and swamps on the shores of Lake Michigan, began to appear the first signs of industrial life about 1887. Oil refineries, steel empires and many factories were added with the development of this region. Workers were needed, and so immigrants were coming from all parts of the world to our beloved America.

Hurren School of Historical Studies University of Leicester Leicester, UK Sarah Tarlow History and Archaeology University of Leicester Leicester, UK Aim of the Series This limited, fnite series is based on the substantive outputs from a major, multi-disciplinary research project funded by the Wellcome Trust, investigating the meanings, treatment, and uses of the criminal corpse in Britain. It is a vehicle for methodological and substantive advances in approaches to the wider history of the body. Focussing on the period between the late seventeenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries as a cru- cial period in the formation and transformation of beliefs about the body, the series explores how the criminal body had a prominent presence in popular culture as well as science, civic life and medico-legal activity. It is historically signifcant as the site of overlapping and sometimes contradic- tory understandings between scientifc anatomy, criminal justice, popular medicine, and social geography.

  • Historic Structures in East Chicago, Indiana
    15 Most Historic Structures & Districts East Chicago, Indiana June 2006 Prepared for the Office of Mayor George Pabey Much has been said about the proud, ethnically diverse and industrial history of the City of East Chicago, Indiana. Even more has been written about our early pioneer days and the industrial heritage that once made this city great. Most unfortunately for those who reside in East Chicago today, few if any ruminants of our early years exist except in the archives and record books of this city. These items are but shadows of the greatness of what this city once was. It is most fortunate however, that much of our historic past has been preserved in the bricks and mortal of more than 1000 buildings that date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Some, like City Hall, the First National Bank Building in Indiana Harbor and the Inland Steel Office Building are in outstanding condition, while others are in need of extensive restoration and renovation. The concept of razing entire sections of this city has been brought to the forefront by the previous administration. Ignoring our historic past as it is presented in the residential, commercial and industrial landmarks would do a disservice not only to our heritage, but more importantly would leave our future but a hollow shadow by ignoring our past and our heritage. While this listing of ten individual properties and five historic districts is an important beginning, we must work to prepare a comprehensive plan that would include the restoration and renovation of entire neighborhoods.

DESCRIPTORS *Cultural Education; Cultural Enrichment; Elementary Secondary Education; *Folk Culture; Higher Education; *Instructional Materials; Legends; Literature; Music; Mythology; *North American Culture; Poetry; Proverbs IDENTIFIERS *Canada; *United States ABSTRACT Because folklife studies have been integrated into a variety of scholarly and public pursuits, the breadth and vitality of the field has sometimes been underestimated. This directory demonstrates the extent of resources and programs available. Chapter one presents U.S. and Canaiian federal agencies and organizations that provide long-range programmatic and financial support for the conservation and study of traditional culture in the United States. State folk cultural programs that function in an official capacity for their respective areas are listed in chapter two, which points out that folk arts coordinators can provide valuable information on publications, programs, and resources in their states. Societies with specific cultural interests, such as the Southern Appalachian Dulcimer Association, provide an invaluable source for information on folk culture and are identified in chapter three.
