Thus it is incumbent upon public historians to understand the strategies by which images and artifacts convey history in exhibits and to encourage a conver- sation about language and methodology among the diverse cultural work- ers who create, use, and review these productions. The purpose of The Public Historian’s exhibit review section is to discuss issues of historical exposition, presentation, and understanding through exhibits mounted in the United States and abroad. Our aim is to provide an ongoing assess- ment of the public’s interest in history while examining exhibits designed to influence or deepen their understanding.

  • Human Longing Is for Nothing Less Than the Reconciliation of Time and Place
    uman longing is for nothing less than the reconciliation of time and place, of past and future, of the many and the one, of the living and the dead. HBoston is precious because it lives in the national imagination, and increasingly the world’s, just so— as a still brilliant map of America’s good hope. —James Carroll from Mapping Boston Helping to Build The Good City The Boston Foundation works closely with its donors to make real, measurable change in some of the most important issues of our day. A number of key areas of community life benefited from the Foundation’s “Understanding Boston” model for social change in 2005: Research This year, the Foundation’s third biennial Boston Indicators Report identified the key competitive issues facing Boston and the region and offered an emerging civic agenda. The Foundation also released the third annual “Housing Report Card” and a report on ways for towns and cities to build affordable housing without increasing school costs. Other reports focused on goals for Boston Harbor and the Waterfront—and the impact and role of Greater Boston’s higher education institutions through the Carol R. Goldberg Seminar. Major Convenings All Boston Foundation reports are released at forums attracting thousands of people every year. In 2005 alone, the Foundation held some 20 forums on a diverse set of issues—including two major housing convenings, sessions focused on strengthening the nonprofit sector and community safety—and forums examining the effects of the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina on national and local philanthropy. Task Forces Task Forces of experts and stakeholders are convened and facilitated by the Foundation.

  • Take a Walk Through Time with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
    FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS TAKE A WALK THROUGH TIME WITH FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS For more than a century, our hotels have been at the heart of it all, serving as places of occasion for their communities. The exhilarating events, memorable meetings, and defining moments that have taken place within our hallowed halls are fascinating and countless. A look at some of the more notable ones: 1885 Bermuda's The Fairmont Hamilton Princess opens its doors, making it the oldest hotel in the Fairmont collection. 1888 Canada's first grand railway hotel, The Fairmont Banff Springs opens, bringing to life the vision of General Manager and soon-to-be President of Canadian Pacific Railway, Sir Cornelius Van Horne. It’s not all joy though, as Van Horne is furious to discover initial hotel plans give the kitchen the magnificent views of the Bow Valley. A rotunda is soon built to give the view back to the guests. 1889 Britain's first luxury hotel, The Savoy, opens and pioneers a number of “firsts” for hotels, including “ascending rooms” (electric lifts), 24-hour room service through a “speaking tube” connected to the restaurant, and its own laundry service and postal address. 1890's Silver baron James Graham Fair purchases the land where Fairmont's namesake San Francisco hotel now resides, hoping to build a family estate. His daughters begin planning on “The Fairmont” as a posthumous monument. “Fairmont” combines the name of the hotel’s founding family with its exclusive location atop Nob Hill. 1890 Society hostess Lady de Grey gathers a group of female contemporaries to dine at London’s The Savoy, a strike for equality, making it socially acceptable for women to gather for meals in public without their husbands, and inspiring generations of ladies-who-lunch.
