    COVER Two eastbound trains and passengers appear to be waiting at the Archer depot for a westbound train from Gainesville, ca. 1910. The wood-burning freight on the right has arrived from Cedar Key, while the coal-burning train on the left has come from the south. The line on the right is the original “Florida Railroad” built by Senator David Levy Yulee’s company. Originating in Fernandina, the line had reached Archer by 1859, and was completed to its terminus at Cedar Key in 1861. The line on the left was built to haul phosphate from the mines in the area and other freight. It eventually went all the way to Tampa. From the collection of Herbert J. Doherty, Jr. Gainesville.

    Florida -CjvjlV&r- Heritage Trail .•""•^ ** V fc till -/foMyfa^^Jtwr^— A Florida Heritage Publication Florida . r li //AA Heritage Trail Fought from 1861 to 1865, the American Civil War was the country's bloodiest conflict. Over 3 million Americans fought in it, and more than 600,000 men, 2 percent of the American population, died in it. The war resulted in the abolition of slavery, ended the concept of state secession, and forever changed the nation. One of the 1 1 states to secede from the Union and join the Confederacy, Florida's role in this momentous struggle is often overlooked. While located far from the major theaters of the war, the state experienced considerable military activity. At one Florida battle alone, over 2,800 Confederate and Union soldiers became casualties. The state supplied some 1 5,000 men to the Confederate armies who fought in nearly all of the major battles or the war. Florida became a significant source of supplies for the Confederacy, providing large amounts of beef, pork, fish, sugar, molasses, and salt. Reflecting the divisive nature of the conflict, several thousand white and black Floridians also served in the Union army and navy. The Civil War brought considerable deprivation and tragedy to Florida. Many of her soldiers fought in distant states, and an estimated 5,000 died with many thousands more maimed and wounded. At home, the Union blockade and runaway inflation meant crippling scarcities of common household goods, clothing, and medicine. Although Florida families carried on with determination, significant portions of the populated areas of the state lay in ruins by the end of the war.

The overall goal for the Task Force was to provide recommendations to ensure that UF graduation ceremonies celebrate and are meaningful for all graduates. Throughout the Fall 2018 semester, the Task Force engaged in conversations with stakeholders, benchmarked with peer institutions, and brainstormed on how the University of Florida could elevate graduation to a level of preeminence. Through this process, we learned students want graduation ceremonies to be student-centric, celebratory, and accessible. Guided by a clear purpose and set of values, we believe graduation ceremonies at UF can strike a balance between tradition, efficiency, and most importantly, celebration. The full report will provide readers with the process, context, and outcomes of the six-month (August 2018 – January 2019) efforts of the Task Force. In order to provide transparency, the outputs of this Task Force are in the format of themes and recommendations.

    1999 Historic Preservation Element

    110168D HISTORIC PRESERVATION ELEMENT DATA AND ANALYSIS I. THE VISION Gainesville is a place of long and rich history beginning as a railroad route stop halfway between Fernandina and Cedar Key and developing into a nationally recognized livable community. Historic preservation is recognized as a key component of the economy, character and appeal of the City and its neighborhoods. It has historically been integrated into the City’s governance and builds upon its past historic preservation achievements by continuing to make conservation of the City’s heritage an important priority. Until recently, the historic preservation movement focused on saving individual sites and neighborhoods without concerning itself with the broader issues of regional development patterns, suburbanization of retail and urban sprawl in general. The specific focus on buildings and neighborhoods was an understandable response to staving off demolition of significant buildings or fighting insensitive policies that undermined neighborhoods. As historic preservation efforts have thrived nationally and neighborhoods have revitalized, the focus has expanded. This includes a more holistic conception of concerns and issues that interconnect relate to downtown development, suburban sprawl, and environmental protection and sustainability. Historic preservation in a broader definition has become known by some as heritage conservation. This encompasses not just structures, sites, districts, neighborhoods and the prehistoric and historic archaeological sites but a more inclusive approach to history. Heritage conservation includes more intrinsic ideas like cultural landscapes and view sheds. The United States recognizes the interrelationship and the interdependency between sustainable development and heritage conservation. The built environment is the most sustainable one, embodying the energy of each piece’s creation.
