Carla Beam, Board Member, Chairman of the Board, Anchorage Dear Friends, I came to Alaska 34 years ago, but long before then, I felt a connection. When I was little, in the days before DVDs, we had something called a Viewmaster. It was a miniature projector that allowed you to look at photographic slides embedded in little round cards that rotated through the device. My favorite card was of Alaska. I must have looked a thousand times at the photos of mountains, tundra, Native villages, and wildlife. I also heard the stories of my father and his buddies who came north to ski and climb.

In this article I will describe some basic label-making techniques TECHNIQUES I useful to small museums.

Like the field of AND graphic design, museum label-making techniques change and evolve with the times, and with new MOUNTING technology. Printing or transferring label copy EXHIBIT First, if you are working with a series of small labels on one page, remember to leave plenty of space between the labels when you format the copy to allow for trimming. Once you have written the label, there are a number ofways to print it. Labels typed on a typewriter, even a label typewriter, have become obsolete, LABELS even though they are still found in many museums. The most common printing method now is the laser printer, which gives anyone with a desktop computer access to many ofthe typographic options that only ten By Kenneth DeRoux years ago were the domain ofthe commercial typesetter. Label copy can be printed on a variety ofpapers, including regular bond paper. Higher quality premium or heavier weight papers will usually give better results.

    2008-04-25-ROB Malcolm Roberts Interview Transcription Page 1 of 28 April 25, 2008 Timothy Naftali I'm Tim Naftali. I'm Director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. It's April 25, 2008. We're in Anchorage, Alaska, and it is snowing, and I have the privilege and honor to be interviewing Malcolm Roberts for the Nixon Oral History Program. Malcolm, thank you for doing this. Malcolm Roberts It's an honor. Timothy Naftali How did you get to Washington? Malcolm Roberts Well, I came up as a journalist during the Fairbanks Flood in 1967. Being a Canadian, you'll know the "Toronto Globe and Mail." They had written an editorial during that flood saying, "Why would anyone want to live in Alaska? They have earthquakes; our great earthquake was in '64. They have floods, it's colder than hell." Why would anyone -- so our editor was from Toronto. We were based in LA, and he said go up there to find out. So, I came up and landed first in Juneau, spent a day following Governor Hickel around, had breakfast with the family at the mansion and spent the whole day with him, wrote some stories, caught up with them again in Fairbanks and wrote this story, "Why would anyone want to live in Alaska?" And I was just totally smitten by the attitude of the north and the frontier spirit and all that. And our magazine folded in the end of '69, and Secretary Hickel heard about it and asked me to come out and see him.

  • The NORTH Is the Future FINAL REPORT
    COYA 2012 The NORTH is the Future FINAL REPORT ConferenCe of Young AlAskAns (COYA) Our Place in alaska; alaska’s Place in the WOrld JAnuArY 4‐7, 2012 • JuneAu, AlAskA – CentenniAl HAll Hosted by the InstItute of the north • broadcast Partner: 360 north – DelIvereD statewide on Gavel to Gavel Reflection – On behalf of the Institute of the North and a dedicated steering committee, I want to thank all the delegates to COYA, as well as the sponsors, subject matter experts, speakers and observ- ers who made COYA a success. Judging from the experience and final product, COYA remains a unique platform for empowering the next generation of Alaska’s leaders. The Institute of the North was excited to host the 2012 Conference of Young Alaskans in our state’s capitol and we believe that all those involved were inspired by the energy and atmosphere of possibility felt in Juneau. In the years to come, Alaskans will have a chance to continue the conversation begun here, by following up on the vision, goals and action items brought forth at this event. All of us have an ownership stake in addressing the critical chal- lenges facing Alaska. Representing 28 communities from across the state, COYA delegates brought a unique and valuable perspective to these issues and were careful to set aside personal agendas on behalf of the common good. Time and time again I watched as a carefully negotiated compromise was struck in order to benefit a greater spectrum of Alaskans. Adapting the lessons learned from others and sharing our experiences while building rela- tionships along the way is an integral part of leadership.
