O.E 927 C,Unt-T M I/O,5 O.e 927 C,unt-t M i/O,5 Expansion of a New England Museum: The Martha's Vineyard Historical Society at a Crossroads An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Michael Whiteman Date: October 15th, 2003 Approved: Project Number: WTM-MV03 Professor Weslef T. Mott, Advisor Abstract New collections constantly being acquired by the Martha's Vineyard Historical Society have created the pressing need for a new facility. The project team conducted a benchmarking exercise to compare them with other area facilities. Both to help the museum and to become familiar with their operation, a prospective maritime collection was inventoried and assessed, and an existing collection for mentally challenged children was bolstered. Data from all three activities were the basis of recommendations to the MVHS regarding their operations and relocation. 1 Acknowledgements Adam, James and Mike would like to extend thanks to the following people: Matthew Stackpole, MVHS Executive Director Arthur E.

The M.V. Historical Society At a Crossroads The Martha's Vineyard Historical Society is faced with an opportunity, which has forced them to make the important decision to move to a new location. Recently, a tract of land became available to the Society for development of a new facility. At this time, the Historical Society finds itself with no more available storage or exhibit space in the current facility. Before the move takes place, many details must be examined such as accessibility, cost, projected attendance, and other concerns. In an attempt to make the move as smooth as possible, the Historical Society wishes to compare itself with many other historical societies, museums, and organizations in New England. By gathering responses from a prepared survey sent to these other historical institutions, the Martha's Vineyard Historical Society will be able to best prepare themselves for the move and reorganization within the museum. The efforts undertaken to provide the MHVS with a more prepared plan before the move includes three separate projects. The first of these projects is to transfer the oral histories of camp Jabberwocky sponsored by the MVHS, from audio cassettes to a longer lasting and easier stored media. The results of this project will make it easier to distribute this information to interested visitors and will also alleviate the currently limited storage space. The second project is to inventory a new collection in an effort to solidify the transaction between the MVHS and Sail Martha's Vineyard. By inventorying this collection, the MVHS hopes to instill confidence in Sail Martha's Vineyard that the MVHS is prepared to care for such an extensive collection. Lastly to prepare the MVHS for future undertakings, a benchmarking survey will compare the MVHS with its surrounding institutions. These efforts will give the MVHS a better idea as to where they need improvement before they undertake their proposed move to a new location. 1 1.1. Humble Beginnings Martha's Vineyard, an island of barely more than one hundred square miles, which is separated from the mainland by only a seven mile stretch of water, has drawn visitors and interest from the shore since before it had even become an isolated chunk of glacial moraine. Early Native Americans used land bridges to move across to the island in search of better hunting and fishing territories. By the arrival of Europeans the value of the land had only grown. Settlers, whalers, and traders realized the economic and logistic significance of an island centrally located with respect to the growing colonies of the New England shores. These colonies, which were the oldest of the original Thirteen Colonies, were later made into states and are now part of America. For the nearly four hundred years since the Europeans' arrival, the island has continued to evolve and grow as its role for New England has changed. As a base for water transportation, the main means of shipping and travel until the 20t h century, the island served as a cog for the flourishing colonies. Indeed it was once the breadbasket of New England, providing grain for the growing seaside colonies. With the advent of whaling, the first global industry, it again served a key role as a base of operations. Until 1900, the Martha's Vineyard Sound was one of the busiest sea-lanes in the world, aside from the English Channel (Arthur E. Flathers, 6/18). Today, over a million people each year travel across the Vineyard Sound on ferries to the island, whose population swells to over 100, 000 in the peak of the summer season. Over the years, the growth and development of the Island accumulated to transform it from a sparse, open farming community known best as the "Breadbasket of New England" to the bustling resort and cultural epicenter it has become today. 2 1.2. The Martha's Vineyard Historical Society In 1922, a group of individuals set out to maintain the growing collection of artifacts from around the island and consequently, the Martha's Vineyard Historical Society was founded. Only a year later with its incorporation, it became the main private, nonprofit group dedicated to preserving and sharing the Island's history. Their goal of preserving the memories, observations, and traditions of island life has been mostly manned by volunteers for these many years. Currently the collection stands at some 25, 000 artifacts, housed at the central site amidst the maze-like one-way streets of Edgartown. Of the ten buildings there, the 18t h century Thomas Cooke House erected in 1720, and the Huntington Reference Library, which alone houses some 10, 000 volumes, have stood for well over a century (MVHS Brochure, 2002). Along with the books and exhibits, the Society houses the Vineyard Oral History Center, which includes some 300 interviews with native Islanders, and the Dukes County Intelligencer, published quarterly since 1959. Aside from the Edgartown campus, the Society maintains three lighthouses in Gay Head, East Chop, and Edgartown.

  • Certificate for Approving the Dissertation
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Meredith Glick Brinegar Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy _______________________________ Chair William B. Stiles, Ph.D. ________________________________ Reader Roger M. Knudson, Ph.D. _________________________________ Reader Larry M. Leitner, Ph.D. ________________________________ Graduate School Representative Paul V. Anderson, Ph.D. ABSTRACT WHAT CLIENTS CAN TELL US ABOUT THE ASSIMILATION OF THEIR PROBLEMATIC EXPERIENCES: A MULTIPLE CASE STUDY by Meredith Glick Brinegar The assimilation model describes the process of change in psychotherapy. The model suggests that in successful therapy, clients’ problematic experiences progress through a series of developmental stages, referred to as the Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Sequence (APES). The model has been empirically supported and modified by a series of case studies, largely completed by observer-researchers. Relatively less attention has been paid to the client’s perspective on the process of assimilation. This study sought to incorporate clients’ phenomenological accounts about the assimilation of their problematic experiences and therapy, in general, into the model. The goals were to both honor clients’ experiences and inform a specific theory of change. Six client accounts were obtained using an interview strategy called Interpersonal Process Recall. Moments from recent therapy sessions that were related to assimilation constructs or which seemed salient to the client were identified and reflected on. Transcripts of these interviews were qualitatively analyzed by three co-investigators with the goal of creating a dialogue between clients and the assimilation model. They linked specific observations from the interviews with theoretical statements to elaborate the assimilation model, making it a richer account of psychotherapy.

  • March 2014 2012 a New Destination for Gay Literatureala Rainbow Book
    march 2014 2012 a new destination for gay literatureALA Rainbow Book Now Back in Print WHERE THE RAINBOW ENDS Lambda Literary Finalist a novel by Jameson Currier “Jameson Currier’s debut novel, Where the Rainbow Ends, moved me to tears more than once and, simply put, is one of the best pieces of gay literature I have ever read. Rather than focusing on and wallowing in the heavy melodrama that the AIDS epidemic seems to produce in most writers, Currier shows both the highs and lows. The lives of these incredibly well-drawn, three-dimensional people encompass all of the emotion that is found in gay/ lesbian life. The book is about creating a sense of family, and most of all, it is about hope. In Robbie, Currier has created a gay Everyman we can all identify with, love, and root for. This is one novel that I was sorry to see end. With this work, Currier has established himself as one of the preeminent gay novelists, not just of the 1990s, 978-0-9832851-6-8 but of all time. This book should be required reading for $20 every gay man, period.” Also available in digital editions —Greg Herren, Impact Also by Jameson Currier Dancing on the Moon Still Dancing “De ant and elegaic.” “Courageous.” e Village Voice Edge www.chelseastationeditions.com March 2014 Chelsea Station Edited by Jameson Currier Chelsea Station Contents March 2014 copyright © 2014 March 17: “The City Where I Miss You,” poetry by Gregg Shapiro Chelsea Station Editions “I Need to Dream About You,” poetry by Craig Cotter “Fredericksburg Battlefield,” poetry by Jeff Mann Founder, Publisher, and Editor: “Physique,” poetry by Walter Holland Jameson Currier March 18: “Collage,” memoir by Bradley Burgess This publication may not be reproduced “Questioning Brushstrokes,” essay by Stephen Mead in any form without written permission March 19: “Chef’s Salad to Bakalava,” fiction by Vinton Rafe McCabe, from the publisher, except by a reviewer, an excerpt from Death in Venice, California who may quote brief passages in a review “I’m From Everywhere,” memoir by Kenneth M.

Serendipity The February 2019 “Marine Hospital” issue of the MVM Quarterly was—like the May 2018 “Edgartown” issue before it—a deliberately designed theme issue, planned for a year or more before it appeared. The current issue, though three of its four stories are centered on Oak Bluffs, and all four unfold in the half-century bracketing 1900, is not. When Andrew Patch approached me last fall, offering to write the first complete history of Oak Bluffs’ last surviving grand hotel, I knew that I wanted to give it the lead position and the cover. May 2019 was, at the time, the first issue where that slot was open. Skip Finley’s portrait of Joseph Dias III— whaling turned businessman, hotelier, and political activist—came later, and the many layers of resonance between the two stories became clear only in the editing process.

Educational concepts were distilled from the goals and objectives of the teacher training aivision of two participating institutions. These concepts were letermined as part of a needs assessment carried out at each institution. The cognitive concepts of analysis and evaluation and the affective concepts of commitment to learning and constructive sense of self were considered of thehighest priority. Learner outcomes which represented these concepts were filmed. An instructional system was subsequently built around the film with a series of three films developed for each concept. An additionaltask involved efforts in developing a taxonomy of learner outcomes enabling the trainee to place learned concepts into anevolving conceptual system. An extensive field trial of the system wasplanned at several teacher training institutions; however,implementation of the evaluative plan was uncompleted during the project year.Results of existing data indicated that in their design theprotocol materials did not enable students to reach the desiredproficiency in concept discrimination. Recommendations suggest aclose integration into existing educational programs and closer relation toprevious knowledge and training programs of the students.
