In this message I will Spring 2019 share some observations, frustrations, emotions and even humor from my per- u spective as Co-chair. The Historical Society was established One of our symposium objectives was to offer early registration for GCHS in July 1984 as a non-profit corporation members. We initiated this process with the 2016 symposium. At that gathering, to develop and promote appreciation, about 58% of the 241 registered were members. At the 2019 symposium, 87% of understanding and education of the the 255 registered were GCHS members. We are pleased that this policy allowed earlier history of the inhabitants and so many members to attend. It also provided an extra incentive to join GCHS, important events of the Grand Canyon. and led to a large increase in our membership.

  • Women Architects
    E-Newsletter | May 2012 Women Architects What do the Hearst Castle in California and many of the buildings in Grand Canyon National Park have in common? They were designed by women architects! In this month's newsletter, we feature two early women architects - Julia Morgan and Mary Colter. California's first licensed woman architect, Julia Morgan, studied architecture in Paris. After failing the entrance examination to the École des Beaux-Arts twice, she learned that the faculty had failed her deliberately to discourage her admission. Undeterred, she gained admission and received her certificate in architecture in 1902. By 1904, she had opened her own architecture practice in San Francisco. After receiving acclaim when one of her buildings on the Mills College campus withstood the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, she was commissioned to rebuild the damaged Fairmont Hotel. With this project Morgan's reputation as well as her architecture practice was assured. Julia Morgan Morgan designed her first building for the YWCA in Oakland in 1912. She then began work on the YWCA's seaside retreat Asilomar, near Monterey, which has hosted thousands of visitors since its founding in 1913. Today Asilomar is a state historical park. Morgan's work on the Hearst Castle, which is also now a state historical monument, cemented her reputation. The Castle, located at San Simeon, has attracted more than 35 million visitors since it opened to the public in 1958. Architect Mary Colter was asked by railroad magnate Fred Harvey to design hotels and restaurants along the Santa Fe Railway route, with the objective of bringing tourists to the southwestern United States.

  • Reflexive Regionalism and the Santa Fe Style
    Reflexive Regionalism and the Santa Fe Style Ron Foresta Department of Geography University of Tennessee, Knoxville Abstract:The Santa Fe Style is an assembly of cultural features associated with the city of Santa Fe and its surrounding Upper Rio Grande Valley. The style, often dismissed as a confection for tourists because of its gloss and worldliness, is in fact a manifestation of reflexive regionalism. This overlooked cultural process occurs when worldly outsiders fashion regional traits into responses to the life challenges that they and their extra- regional reference groups face. In this case, outsiders fashioned what they found in early-twentieth-century Santa Fe into responses to challenges that accompanied the rise of American industrial capitalism. Threats to elite hegemony, the destruction of established lifeways, and the need for new perspectives on American society were prominent among the challenges to which the Santa Fe Style responded. Reflexive regionalism is thus the kind of cultural process that Regulation Theory posits but has found difficult to convincingly identify in the real world, i.e., one that adapts individuals and societies to periodic shifts in the logic and practices of capitalism. I examine seven individuals who made signal contributions to the Santa Fe Style. Each reveals a key facet of Santa Fe’s reflexive regionalism. Together they show how this process created the Santa Fe Style and, more generally, how it works as an engine of cultural invention. The key concepts here are reflexive regionalism, the Santa Fe Style, cosmopolitanism, Regulation Theory, the work of the age, and the project of the self.

For James Hagerty Acknowledgements I wish to extend my most sincere appreciation to my dissertation committee. Your influence on my work is, perhaps, apparent, but I am truly grateful for the guidance you have provided over the years. Your patience and support while I balanced the weight of a museum career and the completion of my dissertation meant the world! I would certainly be remiss to not thank the staff, trustees, and volunteers at the Millicent Rogers Museum for bearing with me while I finalized my degree. Your kind words, enthusiasm, and encouragement were greatly appreciated. I know I looked dreadfully tired in the weeks prior to the completion of my dissertation and I thank you for not mentioning it. The Couse Foundation, the University of Oklahoma’s Charles M. Russell Center, and the School of Visual Arts, likewise, deserve a heartfelt thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of Taos and supporting my research. A very special thank you is needed for Ginnie and Ernie Leavitt, Carl Jones, and Byron Price.

    TANGIBLE - INTANGIBLE HERITAGE(S) – DESIGN, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CRITIQUES ON THE PAST, PRESENT AND THE FUTURE • Paper / Proposal Title: Questions of Heritage, Cultural Appropriation, and Modern Design at Mary Colter’s Hopi House, Grand Canyon, Arizona, 1905 • Author(s) Name: Rebecca Houze • University or Company Affiliation: Northern Illinois University (US) • Presentation Method. I would like to: i. present in person (with a written paper) • Abstract (300 words): This paper explores the thorny subject of heritage by examining Hopi House, a living museum and curio shop at the Grand Canyon, Arizona, which was established as a United States National Park in 1919, and is today a UNESCO World Heritage site. Architect Mary Colter designed Hopi House in 1905 for the Fred Harvey Company, a purveyor of hotels and restaurants along the route of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Modeled on the ancient Puebloan architecture at Old Oraibi, a Hopi village in Navajo County, Arizona, dating to the ninth century CE, Colter’s Hopi House raises questions about the relationship between travel, tourism, heritage, national identity, cultural appropriation, and preservation. How can we reconcile the efforts made by the U.S. National Park Service to express traces of the land’s indigenous past, both real and imagined, in the design of the parks, with the U.S. government’s violent Indian wars of the nineteenth- century, in which native peoples were killed, or were removed from their hereditary lands by force and through disadvantageous monetary exchanges? Did the railway companies bring new economic opportunity to the indigenous artists whose lands they traversed, or did they facilitate the U.S.

    The Voices Behind Change: Women’s Liberation During the 1970s at the University of Guelph by Amy L. McBride A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada @ Amy L. McBride, September, 2018 ABSTRACT THE VOICES BEHIND CHANGE: WOMEN’S LIBERATION DURING THE 1970s AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH Amy L. McBride Advisor: University of Guelph Dr. Linda Mahood The purpose of this thesis is to highlight a student narrative from the perspective of female undergraduates at the University of Guelph from the 1970s, but also to add to the canon of Canadian women’s history. This thesis will argue that female undergraduates at the University of Guelph took part in the Women’s Liberation movement of the 1970s and helped to make Guelph a more liberated and equal opportunity institution. This will be indicated by various examples of the collective action and activism of female undergraduates as they fought to make changes on campus. Using the campus student newspaper, The Ontarion, as the primary source was vital because the newspaper is where the voice of the women students could be heard. The Ontarion is an untapped primary resource providing a wealth of information for assessing and analyzing the emergence of feminism at Guelph. The Ontarion has helped to put a spotlight on feminism and the role of female undergraduates as they organized to make changes at Guelph. Taking on this role included using opinions of feminist role models, notably ideas pertaining to personal and political issues.
