Unearthing St. Augustine's Colonial Heritage
Unearthing St. Augustine’s Colonial Heritage: An Interactive Digital Collection for the Nation’s Oldest City Abstract In preparation for St. Augustine’s 450th anniversary of its founding in 2015, the University of Florida (UF) Libraries requests $341,025 from the National Endowment for the Humanities to build an online collection of key resources related to colonial St. Augustine, Florida. Along with the UF Libraries, the Unearthing St. Augustine project partners are the St. Augustine Department of Heritage Tourism and historic Government House, the St. Augustine Historical Society, and the City of St. Augustine Archaeology Program. This two-year project will have two major outcomes: 1) UF and its partners will create and disseminate an interactive digital collection consisting of 11,000 maps, drawings, photographs and documents and associated metadata that will be available freely online, and 2) project staff will create original programming for a user-friendly, map-based interface, and release it as open-source technology. In addition to providing digital access to numerous rare and desirable resources, the primary goal is to create a flexible, interactive environment in which users will be comfortable using and manipulating objects according to different research needs. Along with searching and browsing functions—including full text searching—the project will develop a map-based interface built upon geographic metadata. Users will be able to search for textual information, structural elements and geographic locations on maps and images. This model will encourage users to contribute geospatial metadata and participate in the georectification of maps. For the first time, this project brings the study of St. -

10 Reasons to Covet Our Coast on the Beach

Especially inviting are the miles of undevel- oped beachfront still remaining along our Southeastern coast. Just to the south of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where multimillion-dollar mansions rub shoulders with the shore, the undeveloped beachfront at Guana River State Park offers the same view and the best of beachside amenities (sun, sand and surf), without a million-dollar mortgage. A bit farther south in historic St. Augustine, Florida, is Anastasia State Recreation Area. There, coastal camp- ing, swimming, sunbathing, surfing, sailboarding and fish- ing offer time well spent and a premier coastal getaway. Four miles of white sand beaches, tidal marshes and a lagoon provide birders with ample opportunities to observe resident populations of pelicans, gulls, terns, sandpipers and wading birds. The 2002 Editors’ Swing around and take flight on a pelican path, glid- ing north to Jacksonville’s Hanna Park, with its backdrop Choice Awards of high dunes, sea oats and ancient maritime forest. coastal Comfortable campsites – including four newly completed cabins – invite beachseekers to stick around and enjoy Northeast Florida at its beachy best. A short hop over the St. Johns River jetties takes you past Huguenot Park – where four-wheelers and pickups countdown prowl the wide, hard-packed sands – and on to Little Talbot Island State Park. There, five miles of unspoiled, uncrowded beach awaits. Right next door is Big Talbot When it comes to our coast, how do we love thee? Let us count the waves. -
