This mission is accomplished through a partnership with private citizens wishing to leave their footprint in our state's rich history. Education and Development In 2009 and 2010 Friends of the Capitol (FOC) participated in several educational and developmental projects informing fellow Oklahomans of the beauty of the capitol and how they can participate in the continuing renovations of Oklahoma State Capitol building. In March of 2010, FOC representatives made a trip to Elk City and met with several organizations within the community and illustrated all the new renovations funded by Friends of the Capitol supporters. Additionally in 2009 FOC participated in the State Superintendent’s encyclo-media conference and in February 2010 FOC participated in the Oklahoma City Public Schools’ Professional Development Day. We had the opportunity to meet with teachers from several different communities in Oklahoma, and we were pleased to inform them about all the new restorations and how their school’s name can be engraved on a 15”x30”paver, and placed below the Capitol’s south steps in the Centennial Memorial Plaza to be admired by many generations of Oklahomans.

  • At the Oklahoma History Center Oklahoma Century Chest Exhibit To
    Vol. 44, No. 8 Published monthly by the Oklahoma Historical Society, serving since 1893 August 2013 “History through Music” at the Oklahoma History Center On Thursday, August 29, the Oklahoma History Center will host Dr. Harold Al- dridge and Dorothy Ellis, aka “Miss Blues,” for an educational and entertaining performance on the development of Blues music. This edition of the Oklahoma Historical Society’s “History through Music” program will examine the develop- ment and appreciation of the Blues music genre from its roots in nineteenth century slavery to its popularity in the twentieth century. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the program will start at 7 p.m. Oklahoma Historical Society members can RSVP and receive free seats. Nonmembers interested in attending must pur- chase an OHS family membership at half price, $25, or any of our other membership levels at regular price, and then will be able to RSVP for up to two seats. Dr. Aldridge and Miss Blues will lecture and perform on the roots of different Blues styles. During the program scholars also will discuss how the unique settlement of the Sooner state mixed different cultures and music, creating its own distinctive sounds and musicians. During the presentation both musicians will explain the roles that secular and gospel music had in these communities. Born and raised in the all-black town of Taft, Oklahoma, Dr. Harold Aldridge learned to play the guitar from the town’s older musi- cians. He will perform and give the history of the differing styles of Blues, including how regional sounds emerged.

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche. All of these sites comprise an invaluable resource for learning about Oklahoma’s remarkable and diverse The Clovis people lived Native American heritage. in Oklahoma at the Given the distribution and ages of studies sites, Okla- homa was widely inhabited during prehistory.

Unfortunately, preservation programs are out of the reach of many institutions because of funding, training, and resource issues. Over the past decade, the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, the Oklahoma Historical Records Advisory Board, and the Oklahoma Museums Association have worked together to develop programs and services that help organizations address preservation planning, environmental control and proper storage, care and handling of materials, disaster planning, conservation reformatting, and security. In addition to preservation issues, the organizations have also provided programs on building organizational capacity, strengthening boards, and connecting with the community. Evaluation reports on these activities indicate a high level of satisfaction with the programs and services; however, there continues to be an unmet need for “one-on-one” interaction and expanded delivery methods, i.e., distance learning. Key Recommendations for Further Consideration: Below is a summary of key recommendations related to training and programming. The Work Group should review each recommendation, respond to the questions, contribute additional information, and identify action steps to move the recommendation forward.

  • University of Oklahoma Libraries Western History Collections
    University of Oklahoma Libraries Western History Collections Cruce, Cruce, and Bleakmore Collection Cruce, Cruce, and Bleakmore Collection. Papers, 1899–1935. 25 feet. Law firm. Legal documents and correspondence from the law firms Cruce, Cruce, and Cruce (1899–1901); Cruce, Cruce, and Bleakmore (1901–1912); and Potter and Cruce (1912–1928) reflecting the firm’s practice representing Chickasaw Indian citizenship and allotment claims, banking interests, and oil and gas companies. Also in the collection are correspondence and speeches from Lee Cruce’s gubernatorial campaign of 1907 and his senatorial campaign of 1930. _______________ Although named for the law firm of Cruce, Cruce, and Bleakmore, the bulk of this collection is from other related sources. Boxes 1 through 5 contain correspondence from the law firm of Cruce, Cruce, and Cruce, which consisted of the three brothers, Andrew Cavitt Cruce, William Isaac Cruce, and Lee Cruce. In 1901, Lee Cruce (later to become the second Governor of Oklahoma) left the firm to become President of the Ardmore National Bank. Boxes 6 through 8 cover the brief period during which the firm operated as Cruce (A.C.) and Cruce (W.I.). In 1902, W.R. Bleakmore joined the firm, then known as Cruce, Cruce, and Bleakmore. The firm operated under this title through 1909. Boxes 9 through 27 cover this interval. Boxes 28 through 76 were added to the collection at a later date, and originate from a completely separate law firm. In 1912, Andrew Cruce moved to Oklahoma City where he and his son, Major Cruce, practiced law. The Oklahoma City firm was known variously as Stuart, Cruce, and Gilbert, and Cruce, Cruce, and Gilbert, and Stuart, Sharp, and Cruce.
