    La Plaza Vieja Neighborhood Historic Context 1901–1954 Prepared for City of Flagstaff Prepared by SWCA Environmental Consultants May 2015 Version LA PLAZA VIEJA NEIGHBORHOOD HISTORIC CONTEXT 1901–1954 Prepared for City of Flagstaff Comprehensive Planning Program Attn: Sara Dechter 211 West Aspen Avenue Flagstaff, Arizona 86001 (928) 213.2631 Prepared by Annie Jay Lutes, M.A., M.S. SWCA Environmental Consultants 114 North San Francisco Street Suite 100 Flagstaff, Arizona 86001 (928) 774.5500 www.swca.com SWCA Project No. 31119 May 2015 Version EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Flagstaff (City) commissioned this historic context in 2014 for the La Plaza Vieja neighborhood, in Flagstaff, Coconino County, Arizona. This historic context was developed to provide the beginnings of an analytical framework by identifying important historic themes of the neighborhood within time and space. By understanding what geographical, temporal, and historical aspects shaped the physical environment of La Plaza Vieja, we can begin to identify the essential elements critical to the historic integrity of the neighborhood. Using the Areas of Significance established by the National Register, four themes (or areas) of historic significance were identified for La Plaza Vieja: Community Planning and Development, Industry, Ethnic Heritage, and Architecture. This historic context further defined important property types associated with these important historic themes. A property type is the link by which the history of the neighborhood is connected to its built environment. An identified property types was considered important if it correlated with the relevant historic themes present through the development of La Plaza Vieja. Additionally, this study utilized existing literature to aid in determining the historic character-defining elements those property types must possess to be considered significant representations of type and context (including geographical and temporal context).

  • Western Ways Features Film Collection
    THE WESTERN WAYS FEATURE FILES COLLECTION MS 1056 DESCRIPTION This collection consists of several types of materials: "data" files; business correspondence; manuscripts of features stories; photographs, negatives and color transparencies; and many files of legal papers, court orders, and transcripts of legal hearings. The first category, "data" files, refers to the research materials collected for use in writing feature stories. These materials consist of ephemeral materials, such as booklets, pamphlets, maps, flyers and promotional materials, usually distributed for tourists by such agencies as Chambers of Commerce, local governments, businesses, or in some cases federal government agencies like the Department of the Interior, the National Park Service and the Bureau of Indian affairs. These ephemeral materials date from the late 1930's to the late 1960's. The second category of business correspondence consists mainly of letters to and from publishers; photographic agencies; advertising agencies; individual businesses; writers; photographers; and the Western Ways Features company. Although a small proportion of the material is personal correspondence, the great bulk of the letters are business-related. The dates of the letters range from the early 1930's until the late 1970's. There are large numbers of letters to and from Arizona Highways and its long-time editor, Raymond Carlson, over a period of three decades. An equally large number of letters are between Western Ways and the Camera Press agency in London, which represented western ways in Europe for over thirty years. Smaller collections of letters are with such Arizona personalities as Barry Goldwater, Roy Drachman, Ray Manley and many others. The third type of material are manuscripts of stories that the Western Ways Features company attempted to market, and were usually part of a package offered along with accompanying set of photographs.

  • 2019 BEA Convention
    Welcome As Program Chair, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2019 BEA Convention. Convention As educators, we draw findings from diverse streams of research to provide students with an understanding of the theoretical approaches to the analysis of media texts and, in turn, to Program Chair’s inform their own production practice. In other words, we strive to teach students not just which production techniques work, but why they work. Be that as it may, prominent industry producers continue to be of the view that media production is self-taught and the role of educators is one Welcome of giving students the confidence and inspiration to succeed. Therefore, if we as educators are to serve as mere beacons of inspiration, what roles do our theoretical teachings serve in the professional practice of electronic media? Does the professional practice of media rely on instinct or on the acquisition of specialized skills and knowledge? The BEA2019 Convention Spotlight, Education and Industry: Mediating the Nexus, explores the issues posed by these questions. To that end, we have an exciting line up of presentations and workshops that aim to increase the dialogue between scholars and practitioners in order to aid the former to build new and expand existing industry relationships; to develop curricula in such a way that the insights gained from theory feed into practice, and vice versa; and to identify research gaps and foster collaborative research projects with industry partners. On the academic side, the Research Symposium examines the issue of what it means to be media literate.
