Museums’ holdings docu- ment our common goals and diverse opinions. They illuminate trends and identify differences. They speak of our aspirations, failures, and accomplishments. We create this legacy by sup- porting our museums through personal visits, donations, and membership. Our museums, after all, hold the collective memories of Colorado for all to share and enjoy. Sincerely, Georgianna Contiguglia President & CEO Volunteers teach museum visitors to pan for gold. State Historic Preservation Officer all provide public access to information on Colorado’s past.

  • The Evolution of the Image of the First Lady
    The Evolution of the Image of the First Lady Reagan N. Griggs Dr. Rauhaus University of North Georgia The role of the First Lady of the United States of America has often been seen as symbolic, figurative, and trivial. Often in comparison to her husband, she is seen as a minimal part of the world stage and ultimately of the history books. Through this research, I seek to debunk the theory that the First Lady is just an allegorical figure of our country, specifically through the analysis of the twenty- first century first ladies. I wish to pursue the evolution of the image of the First Lady and her relevance to political change and public policies. Because a woman has yet to be president of the United States, the First Lady is arguably the only female political figure to live in the White House thus far. The evolution of the First Lady is relevant to gender studies due to its pertinence to answering the age old question of women’s place in politics. Every first lady has in one way or another, exerted some type of influence on the position and on the man to whom she was married to. The occupants of the White House share a unique partnership, with some of the first ladies choosing to influence the president quietly or concentrating on the hostess role. While other first ladies are seen as independent spokeswomen for their own causes of choice, as openly influencing the president, as well as making their views publicly known (Carlin, 2004, p. 281-282).
