We Shared In Its History: 1123 State Street, Sue Lynn Mcdaniel

SCL Faculty and Staff Publications

Author writes of her personal experiences growing up in an historic house in downtown Bowling Green, Ky. Built in 1844, this house served as a private residence, an overnight guest house, the headquarters for Johnnie Massey Clay, President of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church's Women's Missionary Society, and apartments for senior adults, small families and young professionals. Over the years, what was originally a two room over two room Greek-revival townhouse built in the popular Flemish bond brick pattern had at least four additions and was renovated for creative reuses.

Metáforas Poscoloniales: Restauración, Desarraigo Y Construcción Del Artefacto Del Cuarto Mundo En La Antigua Guatemala, Claudia Ferman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

¿Por qué preservamos "ruinas"? ¿Por qué restauramos, reactivamos, exhibimos edificios del pasado? El presupuesto que subyace a este trabajo es que toda restauración constituye siempre una activa apropiación del espacio tanto material como simbólico, y que siempre es intencional, aunque no necesariamente de intención simple o unívoca.

Cuando consideramos el espacio público como recurso, producto y práctica--sensual, social, politica y simbólica--(Remedi, p. …

Borders, Boundaries, And Edges: A Southern Autobiography, Edward L. Ayers

History Faculty Publications

I was born in the mountains of North Carolina of parents who were textile mill operatives a the time. My father, Tommy Ayers, and my mother, Billie Lou Buckner, had known their days of working tobacco and hooking rugs. My father, although only twenty-one when I was born, was a veteran of the fighting in Korea. The first year of my life we lived on a farm in Micaville, North Carolina, where the red-clay driveway grew so slippery that my mother feared sliding into the ditch every time it rained.

"The Mississippi Plan": Dunbar Rowland And The Creation Of The Mississippi Department Of Archives And History, Lisa K. Speer, Heather Mitchell

Articles

The establishment of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) was a cultural milestone for a state that some regarded as backward in the latter decades of the twentieth century. Alabama and Mississippi emerged as pioneers in the founding of state archives in 1901 and 1902 respectively, representing a growing awareness of the importance of preserving historical records. American historians trained in Germany had recently introduced the United States to the application of the scientific method to history. The method involved careful inspection of primary documents and writings to produce objective answers to large historical questions.
