  • Mason Williams
    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

  • Summer Camp's Color Line
    SUMMER CAMP’S COLOR LINE: RACIALIZED LANDSCAPES AND THE STRUGGLE FOR INTEGRATION, 1890-1950 By Amanda Suzanne Hardin A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY Bozeman, Montana April 2017 ©COPYRIGHT by Amanda Suzanne Hardin 2017 All Rights Reserved ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to the subjects and creators of An American Ascent, the documentary film that prompted my initial research question. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have completed this project without the tremendous encouragement and guidance I received from many. I sincerely thank my graduate student peers in the Department of History and Philosophy who listened to my ideas and critiqued my scholarship. I also received a treasure-trove of feedback and reassurance along the way from professors, including Mary Murphy, Janet Ore, and Mark Fiege. My committee— Catherine Dunlop, Amanda Hendrix-Komoto, and Robert Rydell—generously offered their time and invaluable assistance. Special thanks is reserved for my committee chair, Billy Smith, who has sacrificed innumerable hours editing my writing and helping me to refine my argument. I thank him for his steadfast mentorship and refreshing comedic presence. Archivists and librarians at the Rare Books and Manuscript Collection at Columbia University, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center, and the Library of Congress offered access to their collections, without which my thesis would not be possible. I received financial support from several organizations, including the Charles Redd Center for an Off-Campus Graduate Student Award, the History and Philosophy Department at Montana State University for a research travel grant, and the College of Letters and Sciences at Montana State University for a research travel grant.

  • The Effects of Variables in Oral History: Palm Beach County, Florida
    THE EFFECTS OF VARIABLES IN ORAL HISTORY: PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA by Lise M. Steinhauer A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida August 2010 Copyright by Lise M. Steinhauer 2010 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In 2004 I earned a bachelor’s degree in English at Florida Atlantic University, where Kitty Oliver introduced me to oral history. Her two courses resulted in my essay in Multicultural Reflections on “Race and Change,” ed. Kitty Oliver (Boca Raton: Bordighera Press, 2006). During two internships in Public History with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County (HSPBC), I learned a more traditional style of oral history under Debi Murray, the director of research and archives. With encouragement from Professor Oliver, I pursued this degree in Liberal Studies to combine history and communications knowledge and skills relevant to a career in oral history. This gratifying art clearly combined my three passions: history, research, and writing. When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, at Kitty Oliver’s suggestion, I interviewed evacuees who had been displaced to an equestrian center in Boynton Beach. My work has also included oral histories for the HSPBC, the Boca Raton Historical Society, and private clients; fifty interviews with analysis for a nonprofit’s strategic planning; he Docent Training Manual and Notables exhibit for the Richard and Pat Johnson Historical Museum of Palm Beach County; and the research and text for the HSPBC Web site, Palm Beach County History Online.

  • View National Trust for Historic Preservation Best Practices
    Cover Memo DATE: MAY 17, 2018 TO: PHILADELPHIA HISTORIC PRESERVATION TASK FORCE FROM: NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION RE: HISTORIC PRESERVATION & BUILDING REUSE: BEST PRACTICES RESEARCH Dear Task Force Members: As Technical Advisor to the Mayor Kenney’s Historic Preservation Task Force, the National Trust for Historic Preservation is providing the attached revised summaries of a select group of Best Practices as requested by the Task Force Sub-Committees. This in-depth research builds upon 2-3 months of preliminary research performed in the fall of 2017, presented to the Task Force in mid-January, and available on the Task Force website https://www.phlpreservation.org/. The National Trust undertook an additional 8-week research project to better understand and evaluate a refined list of Best Practices in four core areas – Survey, Outreach + Education, Incentives, and Regulation. Focused primarily, but not exclusively, on the Peer Cities identified earlier in the Task Force proceedings (Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Baltimore, Buffalo, and New Orleans), the National Trust’s Team conducted interviews with public agencies and local non-profits in each Peer City. Based on these interviews, extensive on-line research, and targeted outreach to preservation, public policy, and development professionals, as well as feedback from the Task Force subcommittees on initial drafts, the National Trust prepared the attached summaries of selected Best Practices. Included is an analysis identifying and articulating the benefits, challenges, applicability, funding, staffing requirements, and regulatory framework required for each of these Best Practices to succeed. Based on two rounds and nearly five months of intensive research by a team of eight multi-disciplinary professionals, the National Trust found that there is no “silver bullet” for historic preservation.

  • Market Analysis A. the Industry
    PLAY Market Analysis A. The Industry Baltimore’s cultural, entertainment, and natural amenities are enjoyed by the residents in the Baltimore region as well as national and international tourists. In 2004, 11.79 million visitors from outside the Baltimore region explored the many attractions our City has to offer. In addition, 3.97 million visitors liv- ing in the Baltimore region, but outside Baltimore City, visited Baltimore. Of course, the 650,000 Baltimore City residents also enjoyed Baltimore’s numer- ous cultural, entertainment, and natural resource amenities. These amenities provide activities for all segments of the population, from youth and families to the elderly. The following discussion focuses on the market for Baltimore’s cultural, entertainment, and natural amenities, with emphasis on our customer base, market size, and trends. Heritage and Cultural Resources Baltimore’s heritage and cultural tourism industry provides place-based, unique experiential products that range from large, world-renowned attractions and events to small, locally celebrated attractions and events. The heritage and cultural tourism industry provides products within three broad areas: visual arts, including art museums, galleries, schools, studios, architecture and archi- tecture-related events; performing arts, including theater, art cinema, dance, and music; and historical and cultural resources, including history museums, literary events, bus and walking tours, and historic districts.1 These resources provide life-enriching experiences that are attracting a larger number of visitors who are generally over the age of 40. Heritage and Cultural tourism is expanding its products, especially in the African American niche market. In addition, visitation to historic and culturally rich neighborhoods is increasing.
