  • An Oral History Project Catalogue
    1 A Tribute to the Eastside “Words of Wisdom - Voices of the Past” An Oral History Project Catalogue Two 2 FORWARD Oral History Resource Catalogue (2016 Edition) Eastside Heritage Center has hundreds of oral histories in our permanent collection, containing hours of history from all around East King County. Both Bellevue Historical Society and Marymoor Museum had active oral history programs, and EHC has continued that trend, adding new interviews to the collection. Between 1996 and 2003, Eastside Heritage Center (formerly Bellevue Historical Society) was engaged in an oral history project entitled “Words of Wisdom – Voices of the Past.” As a part of that project, Eastside Heritage Center produced the first Oral History Resource Catalogue. The Catalogue is a reference guide for researchers and staff. It provides a brief introduction to each of the interviews collected during “Words of Wisdom.” The entries contain basic information about the interview date, length, recording format and participants, as well as a brief biography of the narrator, and a list of the topics discussed. Our second catalogue is a continuation of this project, and now includes some interviews collected prior to 1996. The oral history collection at the Eastside Heritage Center is constantly expanding, and the Catalogue will grow as more interviews are collected and as older interviews are transcribed. Special thanks to our narrators, interviewers, transcribers and all those who contributed their memories of the Eastside. We are indebted to 4Culture for funding this project.

    TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 7: PRELIMINARY CULTURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT FOR THE CITY OF BELLEVUE’S MEYDENBAUER BAY PARK AND LAND USE PLAN, BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON BY JAMES SCHUMACHER GLENN D. HARTMANN, PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR PREPARED FOR: EDAW, INC. 815 WESTERN AVENUE, SUITE 300 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98104 CRC PROJECT NO. 0804K CULTURAL RESOURCE CONSULTANTS, INC. 8001 DAY ROAD WEST, SUITE B BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA 98110 JULY 14, 2008 Executive Summary This report (Technical Memorandum 7) presents an initial cultural resources assessment for the City of Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Bay Park and Land Use Plan. No archaeological sites are recorded within the study area; however, no archaeological surveys appear to have been conducted within the study area. Any as-yet unidentified buried archaeological deposits in the project vicinity could potentially range in age from about 12,000 years old to the recent historic period. Recommendations for further work include definition of a project design and boundary to inform a final cultural resources assessment. Additional information developed as part of this evaluation could include an on-the-ground archaeological investigation of the existing park, and inventory of historic structures within the project boundary and evaluation of their eligibility for historic registers. The final park design should recognize the heritage of Meydenbauer Bay, from the time of Native Americans, explorers, and early settlers to the industries of whaling, ferrying, and today’s residential and pleasure boat moorage. Summary of history Archaeological evidence dated to the last several thousand years in the greater Puget Sound region represent seasonal campsites and village locations. Five traditional Indian place names have been recorded in the general vicinity.
