  • Pittsburgh Perspectives
    Children’s School October 2014 Pittsburgh Perspectives Why did the Shawnee, French, and British all want to live at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monogahela, and Ohio rivers? Why have so many major innovations in science & technology, medicine, industry, the arts, etc. originated in Pittsburgh? How did the “Steel City” become the most livable city in the US? Why did each of us choose to call Pittsburgh “home” for this period of our lives? These are among the exciting questions that prompted us to choose Pittsburgh for the theme of our 2014-15 Whole School Unit. Our educators began our own explorations by visiting the Fort Pitt Museum & Blockhouse and the Heinz History Center. Though the unit is scheduled for February, we are already introducing Pittsburgh as a thread throughout the whole year. Watch for images of the city skyline and three rivers, displays honoring Pittsburghers who are famous for their work supporting children and learning, and monthly tips for expanding your family’s adventures in Pittsburgh. If you are interested in helping to design the unit or have ideas to share, please contact Sharon Carver ([email protected]) or Violet McGillen ([email protected]). October’s Pittsburgh Tip: Whether you are new to Pittsburgh or a lifelong resident, there is much to explore here. Visit the city’s official visitor’s guide at http://www.visitpittsburgh.com to see why they chose the slogan “Pittsburgh Mighty and Beautiful”. NextPittsburgh focuses on “taking Pittsburgh to the next level”, and they have a great section on family adventures at http://www.nextpittsburgh.com/events/family-adventures-september-in-pittsburgh/.

    2017 Iron Butt Rally North American Safari The 2017 Iron Butt Rally (IBR) is designed to lead you on a photo safari of North America’s iconic animals, both real and imagined. Armed with only your camera and motorcycle, you will roam the wilds in search of these elusive creatures. Fortunately, all of the target creatures are sedentary and quite unlikely to run onto the road. In this catalog, you will find data on different beasts to hunt. Your goal is to capture a photo and escape before they turn on you. The animals in the rally book are divided into five categories for your sorting enjoyment: Air These majestic birds and insects capture our imagination with their ability to soar above it all and see the world from a different perspective. Land From iconic images of native bison to fearsome predators to pets, land animals are symbols of nature, strength, and companionship. Water Creatures of ocean, lake, river, and stream, these animals provide food, sport, and in some cases provoke visceral fear. Prehistoric Eons ago, giants roamed these lands. You can still find their remnants today if you know where to look. Mythical Born of our imagination, whimsy, or a need to explain the unknown, these creatures popped up throughout history. Search out representations of those fanciful ideas. This keepsake booklet identifies each of the 328 different creature bonuses available on your safari and provides specific directions to document each bonus. Bonus codes are listed alphabetically. Points and leg-specific instructions will be in the Leg Bonus Packs. Enjoy the adventure!

  • Selling the Sounds of the South: the Visual and Verbal Rhetoric of Race Records and Old Time Records Marketing, 1920-1929
    Selling the Sounds of the South: The visual and verbal rhetoric of Race Records and Old Time Records marketing, 1920-1929 Luke Horton Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Dec, 2011 School of Historical and Philosophical Studies University of Melbourne Abstract In the early 1920s, the phonograph industry in America began producing two very distinct record catalogues of racially segregated Southern vernacular music, one called Race Records and the other called Old Time (or 'Old Time Tunes', 'Songs of the Hills and Plains', 'Familiar Tunes Old and New' and towards the end of the decade simply 'hillbilly' records). In the marketing for these new catalogues, two completely separate streams of Southern music were presented, one purely white and one purely black, a separation that denied any possibility or history of the intermingling of the races, a bifurcation of a shared tradition which became a revision of Southern history, and a segregation in keeping with the race policy of the Jim Crow era. ‘Selling the Sounds of the South’ argues that the verbal and visual rhetoric of the marketing for these new catalogues of music (contained not only in catalogues themselves, but in advertisements, window displays, and other promotional material), presented a unique utilisation of Southern images that offered a new definition of Southern black and white music. While heavily reliant on existing constructions of white and black musical culture, the creation of these catalogues involved the recasting of major cultural tropes and resulted in an intertextual construct that itself was something new.

  • Schenley Plaza and Schenley Park and the Built Environment That Surrounds Both of These Historic Pittsburgh Spaces
    FRICK FINE ARTS LIBRARY SCHENLEY PLAZA, SCHENLEY PARK & ENVIRONS Library Guide Series, No. 11 “Qui scit ubi scientis sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* Introduction Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood was originally designed to be the city’s cultural showcase during the end of the nineteenth and early years of the twentieth centuries. It was the time when model suburbs and the “City Beautiful” movement flowered in urban areas of the country. In Pittsburgh the effort to build a park system in Pittsburgh was inspired by parks and urban development in American and European cities. The park movement in this country was launched in the 1850s with the creation of New York’s Central Park designed by Frederick Law Olmstead. Such beautification projects grew from the beliefs of Progressive era reformers responding to rapid growth, over crowding and burgeoning social inequalities in the nation’s cities. Leaders believed that healthful relaxation and pure park air, in contrast, to the hectic and polluted mechanized world of the city, would benefit city dwellers by offering rest for the tired body and weary soul. In addition, reformers believed that parks could improve nature with landscape design, statuary and recreational facilities that would elevate citizens’ attitudes and behavior and inspire civic pride. It was in such an intellectual milieu that Pittsburgh’s park system began as a part of the new Civic Center beginning to rise in Oakland near the end of the nineteenth century. That center would eventually include Carnegie Institute (1895) and Hotel Schenley (1898), as well as other monumental buildings (some of which can not be viewed from Schenley Plaza) such as Soldiers and Sailors Memorial, Pittsburgh Athletic Club and Masonic Temple in addition to University of Pittsburgh buildings like the Cathedral of Learning (1937), Stephen Foster Memorial Building (1937) and Heinz Chapel (1938).
