Historic Lower Manhattan
Historic Lower Manhattan To many people Lower Manhattan means financial district, where the large buildings are designed to facilitate the exchange of money. The buildings, streets and open spaces, however, recall events that gave birth to a nation and have helped shape the destiny of western civilization. Places such as St. Paul's Chapel and Federal Hall National Memorial exemplify a number of sites which have been awarded special status by the Federal Government. The sites appearing in this guide are included in the following programs which have given them public recognition and helped to assure their survival. National Park Service Since its inauguration in 1916, the National Park Service has been dedicated to the preservation and management of our country's unique national, historical and recreational areas. The first national park in the world—Yellowstone—has been followed by the addition of over 300 sites in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. National Park areas near and in Manhattan are: Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site, Fire Island National Seashore, Gateway National Recreation Area, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Hamilton Grange National Memorial, and General Grant National Memorial. National Historic Landmarks National Park Service historians study and evaluate historic properties throughout the country. Acting upon their findings the Secretary of the Interior may declare the properties eligible for designation as National National Parks are staffed by Park Rangers who can provide information As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Historic Landmarks. The owner of such a property is offered a certif to facilitate your visit to Lower Manhattan. -

Before their arrival, downtown was part of a vast forest, a lush hunting ground for Native Americans that was inhabited by mountain lions, bobcats, beavers, white-tailed deer, and wild turkeys. Hunters followed the Wiechquaekeck Trail, a path through the center that today is more often referred to as Broadway. This section of the city still centers on commerce, much as Nieuw Amsterdam did. Wall Street is America’s strongest symbol of money and power; bulls and bears have replaced the wild beasts of the forest, and conservatively attired lawyers, stockbrokers, bankers, and businesspeople have supplanted the Native Americans and Dutch who once traded otter skins and beaver pelts on these very streets. A highlight of this tour is the Financial District’s architec- ture, in which the neighborhood’s modern edifices and grand historical structures are dramatically juxtaposed: Colonial, 18th-century Georgian/Federal, and 19th-century neoclassical buildings stand in the shadow of colossal modern skyscrapers. -
Museum Archivist
Newsletter of the Museum Archives Section Museum Archivist Summer 2020 Volume 30, Issue 2 Letter From the Chair Fellow MAS and SAA members, To be blunt, we are currently in the midst of a challenging period of historic proportions. On top of a charged atmosphere filled with vitriol, 2020 has witnessed the unfolding of both a global pandemic and racial tensions exacerbated by systemic racism in law enforcement. The combination of this perfect storm has sowed a climate of chaos and uncertainty. It is easy to feel demoralized and discouraged. For your own mental health, allow yourself to feel. Allow yourself to take a breath and acknowledge that you are bearing witness to a uniquely challenging period like few in global history. Yet, there is reason to hope. The trite phrase, “that which does not kill us only makes us stronger” has significance. We adapt, learn, grow and improve. If this all is to be viewed as an incredible challenge, rest assured, we will overcome it. (To use yet another timeless phrase, “this, too, shall pass.”) I am curious to see what new measures, what new policies, what new courses of action we, as professionals in the field(s) of libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) will implement to further enhance and reinforce the primary goals of our respective professions. One question that keeps coming to mind is how the archives field—specifically as it relates to museums— will survive and adapt in the post-COVID-19 world. People will continue to turn to publicly available research material to learn and educate others. -
The Evolution of a Campus (1756-2006)
CHAPTER 3 THE EVOLUTION OF A CAMPUS (1756-2006) Princeton University has always been a dynamic institution, evolving from a two-building college in a rural town to a thriving University at the heart of a busy multifaceted community. The campus changed dramatically in the last century with the introduction of iconic “collegiate gothic” architecture and significant postwar expansion. Although the campus exudes a sense of permanence and timelessness, it supports a living institution that must always grow in pace with new academic disciplines and changing student expectations. The Campus Plan anticipates an expansion of 2.1 million additional square feet over ten years, and proposes to achieve this growth while applying the Five Guiding Principles. 1906 view of Princeton University by Richard Rummel. In this view, the original train station can be seen below Blair Hall, whose archway formed a ceremonial entrance to the campus for rail travelers.
