Heritage Updates
August 19, 2009
August 19, 2009 — This month, we're very excited to be launching Blog4Culture at blog.4culture.org. This is the brand new *news* section of 4Culture, designed with some special features in mind to make it more accessible and tailored to YOU, our constituents.
With Blog4Culture you are always just one click away from knowing the most up-to-date news at 4Culture. Whereas our old news format was sent via email just once a month, we'll be posting new funding opportunities, calls for artists, regional job opportunities, recommended events and stories about culture in King County weekly, even daily. As soon as we know about them, you’ll know about them, if you keep tabs on Blog4Culture.
Once you get to Blog4Culture you can sort all the posted stories by category or archive month. So you want to look back and see what's been happening in the Gallery4Culture, or you want to browse our heritage news, or see what questions your peers have had over the months by reading "Ask4Culture" posts… all you have to do is click on the category name on the right and the blog will sort the info for you! For those of you savvy with RSS feeds, you can also sign up for RSS feeds for our categories and stay in touch with us daily. Just click the orange boxes next to the categories that interest you.
Perhaps most exciting to me, our blog allows you to join the discussion. We love conversation about culture and our communities in King County. We want to hear from you. We encourage you to join us in dialogue and comment on Blog4Culture, and we don't expect everyone to agree. However, we will monitor comments on Blog4Culture and will not post any comments that contain personal attacks, hate speech or offensive language.
With all these changes, it only seemed right to re-design our monthly enews to merge with the blog. Those of you on the list will still receive an email from us about once a month - linking you to the top stories or conversations on the blog.

 June 30, 2009 — Fifty plus vintage Ford Model Ts have set off to cross the country along the back roads of 12 states to reenact the Ocean-to-Ocean Automobile Race, part of the opening festivities of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1909. Like the original race, members of the Model T Ford Club International will drive west along nearly 4,000 miles of this country's oldest highways from New York to Seattle's University of Washington Campus, the site of the 1909 A-Y-P.
One of the highlights of this year's regional A-Y-P Centennial celebrations, the Model T Rally will conclude in King County July 9-12, with a series of events called, "It’s All Downhill from Here." When the Ts arrive at Snoqualmie Pass the evening of July 9, they will be greeted with speeches, live music (Cornicopia Concert Band), a no-host bar and a gourmet hotdog picnic. At dusk, the Ellensburg Film Festival will present the classic film, "The Great Race" on an outdoor screen. On July 10, the Ts will follow historic highways down from the pass, traveling through North Bend and stopping for a Salmon Bake lunch, catered by the Snoqualmie Tribe Canoe Family, at
Meadowbrook Farm from 12-2 pm. Both the Pony Boy All-Star Big Band and the Snoqualmie Tribe
Canoe Family Drums will entertain the crowd. In the afternoon, the Ts will then make their way to
Issaquah via Snoqualmie, Fall City, Preston and High Point. On Saturday, July 11, drivers and crew will
spend the day sprucing up their vehicles and mingling with the public at the Issaquah Depot Museum.
On Sunday morning, July 12, the Ts will drive from Issaquah to Renton, up Rainier Avenue, through
the Arboretum to end their run at Drumheller Fountain on the UW campus.
These events are open to the public and free of charge, with the exception of food and drink. For more
information visit ayp100.org or www.aype.org.

 June 3, 2009 — The Shoreline Historical Museum, located in the historic Ronald School, is facing a challenge from an unexpected source. On Monday, May 11, the Shoreline School District and Board held a public meeting about plans for the redevelopment of Shorewood High School and grounds located at 17300 Fremont Avenue North, Shoreline. Those plans include the use of the Ronald School, current home to the Shoreline Historical Museum, for new administrative offices.
The presentation at the May 11 School Board meeting showed several concepts that were being considered for redevelopment of the site. Some plans keep the Ronald School separate from new buildings proposed for construction, while others clearly incorporate the historic building into new construction.
Built in 1912, the Ronald School was designated a City of Shoreline Landmark in 2008. Alterations to its exterior, therefore, would necessitate a design review and possibly a certificate of appropriateness from the King County Landmarks Commission prior to any redevelopment that involves the historic landmark.
The Shoreline Historical Museum has been housed in the Ronald School since 1976. For over three decades the museum has been an important community asset, contributing thousands of volunteer hours and numerous resources to local educational programming. Since 1992, the Museum has had 300 students participate in its high school volunteer museum assistant program. Over the years the Museum has spent over two million dollars for programs, exhibits and operations, and made 1.5 million dollars' worth of capital improvements to restore the building. Although Shoreline School District deeded the building to the Museum in 1989, the District still owns the property and has a ground lease agreement with the museum, which it can terminate at any time providing only 60 days prior notice. The School Board held a meeting on June 1. The presentation of the school board's building plans will be revealed at a community outreach meeting on June 4.
Members of the heritage community wishing to comment on the situation may contact Shoreline School Board president Deborah Ehrlichman and the Shorewood Design Team. For more information on the plans for the Shorewood High School and Ronald School visit the Shoreline School Districts website.

From Tall Timber to Women's Undergarments,
4Culture's 2009 Heritage Heritage Special Projects and Heritage Cultural Education illustrate King County's rich…and provocative, history.
 May 5, 2009 — This year, 4Culture's Heritage program received an unprecedented, 60 applications for its annual Cultural Education and Special Projects funding programs. Of these, 5 Heritage Cultural Education and 34 Heritage Special Projects applications were awarded funding, totaling $167,824 for county projects. Each year, Heritage Cultural Education encourages the development of curricula that promotes King County's cultural heritage. While the Heritage Special Projects supports local organizations and individuals in their efforts to identify, document, exhibit and interpret King County heritage resources.
The proposals funded through Heritage Cultural Education addressed curriculum based history and social studies units, with subjects ranging from native culture, ethnic heritage, and community development to the aftermath of war. Applications included a proposal from the Eastside Heritage Center to develop educational kits that explore the impact of the 1916 lowering of Lake Washington in conjunction with development of the Ship Canal. This project will provide students the opportunity to research and evaluate the significance of a major engineering project and its impact on the local community. Densho: The Japanese American Legacy Project, was also awarded funding to transfer archived interviews and visual histories of World War II incarceration subjects into usable media formats for inclusion in classrooms. This project was developed in response to a specific need from educators, who want to incorporate digital media into their teaching formats.
Successful applications for the Heritage Special Projects included: a photo-documentary of King County's historic cemeteries; a historical survey of the Fremont neighborhood; and two map projects documenting the cultural heritage of Vashon & Maury Islands, one focusing on activities for the general public and the other specifically for kids.

May 5, 2009
 May 5, 2009 — The event promising to be the A-Y-P highlight of the summer is the Ocean to Ocean Model T Rally, which will retrace the route of the 1909 cross-country auto race from New York to Seattle. Fifty-four Model Ts, their intrepid drivers and navigators will leave New York on June 13, arriving at the University of Washington campus on July 12. Communities along the rally's route in King County are planning welcoming parties to celebrate the antiques cars' arrival.
Another reenactment of no less significance or endurance is Wheels North, a recreation of the 1909 journey by two young men who rode their bicycles from Santa Rosa, California, to the A-Y-P fairgrounds. Their travails are documented in Two Wheels North, a must read for A-Y-P enthusiasts, bicycle aficionados, or lovers of good books. The reenactment takes place July 4-17, with bicyclists arriving at the UW campus just five days after the Model Ts. Information about joining the 2009 ride and the an historical overview of the 1909 trek are available at www.wheelsnorth.org.
There's plenty to see and do when it comes to observing the A-Y-P Centennial. Stay connected to the latest happenings through the official A-Y-P web site, www.ayp100.org, a collaboration between the Seattle Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs and 4Culture.

March 3, 2009
 March 3, 2009 — On January 7 & 8, 2009, the Northwest Railway Museum experienced serious, unprecedented flooding as a result of record snow runoff and rainfall. The Museum suffered widespread flood-related impacts, including water in the new Conservation and Restoration Center and damage to the Rayonier motor car, once used to carry loggers into the woods. However, the most costly impact involved loss of railroad track needed for the interpretive and revenue-generating railway programs. Without track rehabilitation, the Museum risked losing funding for its programs and staff.
At their February meeting, the 4Culture Board of Directors approved a $50,000 funding request from the Northwest Railway Museum to repair the rail damage caused by the massive flooding. The request was made through the Heritage Cultural Facilities Emergency and Unforeseen Opportunity program and reviewed by the Heritage Advisory Committee before being recommended to the 4Culture Board.
In addition to the 5-mile interpretive railway, damaged by the January floods, the Northwest Railway Museum currently owns and operates the fully-restored 1890 Snoqualmie Depot, a collection of 75 large rolling stock artifacts, and a Conservation and Restoration Center completed in 2006. The Museum is also developing a Railway History Center Train Shed, which will incorporate exhibition and collection storage space with projected completion in late 2009.
To receive out-of-cycle facilities funding, Heritage Cultural Facility applicants must meet all eligibility requirements for the regular Facilities program, as well as explain how their project fits the definition of an Emergency or Unforeseen Opportunity. The Northwest Railway Museum successfully demonstrated the uniqueness of its interpretive railway to King County and its place as cornerstone of Snoqualmie's historic downtown tourism-based economy. The $50,000 awarded by 4Culture will allow the Northwest Railway Museum to purchase railroad ballast, railroad ties, hardware and labor required to restore the interpretive railway to pre-flood conditions.
For more information about this project, contact Eric Taylor at 206-296-8688.

 January 28, 2009 — Heritage 4Culture and HistoryLink.org are pleased to announce a new curriculum for elementary and middle school students, Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition: Centennial 1909-2009vailable as of February 19, 2009. The unique curriculum connects children with the history and centennial celebration of the 1909 Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, the region's first World's Fair, which promoted the Northwest's growing prosperity as a portal to the Pacific. The curriculum is the first project developed through a new education partnership between Heritage 4Culture and HistoryLink.org aimed at developing a more comprehensive selection of relevant, up-dated, and accessible heritage education resources for Pacific Northwest teachers and students.
A team of award-winning heritage specialists, each experienced in planning, designing, and implementing innovative and relevant educational programming, created the A-Y-P curriculum, which is composed of six units: an Introductory Unit, which includes a Power Point presentation and five additional units each designed by one of the specialists on the curriculum team. The individual units investigate and analyze different forms of primary sources, including photographs, postcards, newspaper and magazine articles, publicity materials, maps, and personal histories.
The A-Y-P Centennial curriculum team includes Meghan Arnette (MOHAI), Jane Morton (Eastside Heritage Center), Tom Ikeda (DENSHO), Tara McCauley (White River Valley Museum), Randy Schnabel (History Day), Alan Stein (HistoryLink.org), Jennifer Ott (HistoryLink.org), Heather Dwyer (4Culture), and Project Director, Pat Filer. Filer who had been serving as 4Culture's Heritage Cultural Education and Heritage Special Projects Program Manager moved to HistoryLink.org at the first of the year to serve as Education Director and coordinate the education partnership between HistoryLink.org and 4Culture.
Later this year, HistoryLink.org will unveil a new enhanced Study Aids web page which will feature valuable curriculum materials and other important resources for educators. Many of the curriculum projects that will be featured on HistoryLink.org have been developed with funding from 4Culture's Heritage Cultural Education Program and will be updated and aligned to current educational standards. When posted, the curricula may be downloaded at no charge from HistoryLink's Study Aids page at HistoryLink.org.
To have quick and easy access to the most current local educational news and resources, educators and staff of heritage, arts and other cultural organizations are encouraged to subscribe to HistoryLink's free weekly newsletter on the home page of HistoryLink.org.
For more information regarding any of these projects, contact Pat Filer.

January 7, 2009
 January 7, 2009 — For their last meeting of 2008, 4Culture's Heritage Advisory Committee and staff members ventured into the winter weather for a special field trip to three new culturally significant facilities in King County: the Wing Luke Asian Museum, the Northwest African American Museum, and the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center.
View Slideshow
Stop number one: the Wing Luke Asian Museum, which moved to the newly rehabilitated East Kong Yick Building, in June. Deputy Executive Director, Cassie Chinn, greeted the group in the lobby of the 60,000 square foot International District building for the beginning of an historic immersion tour, which showcased preserved sections of the historic building and stops in exhibit galleries and the story theatre.
Our intrepid team then moved on to the nearby Northwest African American Museum. Located on the first floor of the refurbished Colman School in the Central District, the Museum just opened last March. Volunteer Coordinator Lani Lehman lead the tour through the Journey Gallery, which illustrates the history and culture of the Northwest African American community; and the Northwest Gallery, which currently features an exhibit on the lives and work of two premier African American artists, James Washington, Jr., and Jacob Lawrence (whose enamel mural Games is on long-term loan to the museum from the King County Public Art Collection).
After a brief business meeting, the devoted and eager group traveled to West Seattle for a special preview of the newly-constructed Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center, which opened this month. Director James Rasmussen provided a behind-the-scenes perspective of exhibits during their installation. The interpretive displays emphasize the underlying message that the Duwamish people are still here and are an integral part of the city named for their famous tribal chief. Beyond the lobby, the group experienced the expansive longhouse, with its basket-weave design inlaid floor and open-beamed vaulted ceiling.
When the day was done, the traveling group reflected on the differences and commonality of the three facilities they had visited. They discussed how the three sites directly link to the communities they serve, providing gathering places and points of ethnic pride. Although each locale has its own particular focus, universal messages that transcend ethnic lines emerge, with themes of migration, displacement and identity running throughout the exhibit interpretation.
Committee members appreciated the experience of seeing all three sites in one afternoon and the opportunity to recognize the differences and the commonality of approaches in interpretation. 4Culture is proud to have supported the development of these ethnic heritage facilities, which have already taken their place as mainstays among King County's Heritage Museums.

December 2, 2008
 December 2, 2008 — Improvements to an historic barn in Auburn and construction of a train shed in Snoqualmie are among 14 projects awarded funds in the 2008 round of 4Culture's Heritage Cultural Facilities Program. The 4Culture board of directors approved the awards in October. The White River Valley Museum in Auburn was awarded $38,000 to rehabilitate the barn at the Mary Olson Farm as a working facility and gathering spot.
Patricia Cosgrove, the museum's executive director, says the 1897 barn will host community meetings once the renovation is complete. She also says the barn will be home to more traditional occupants when the milking stanchions and stalls are restored. "We have plans to own two dairy cows and two workhorses," she says.
4Culture also approved a $50,000 award to the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie to assist with construction of a 25,000-square-foot train shed. The facility will protect the museum's unique collection of rolling stock while improving public access. In all, 4Culture will disburse a total of $333,314 in program funds to heritage-related projects. The program is designed to enhance the cultural life of King County citizens by funding the purchase, design, construction, and remodeling of heritage facilities, and the purchase of equipment intended to be used for at least 10 years.

September 23, 2008
 September 23, 2008 — A plan to preserve the only known videotapes of an historic 1981 Congressional hearing is among 18 projects receiving funding through 4Culture's new Heritage Collections Care program. The late Cherry Kinoshita, a Seattle leader of the national movement to gain justice for Japanese-Americans interned during World War II, donated the tapes to Densho: The Japanese-American Legacy Project. The tapes recorded a Seattle hearing by the panel which recommended reparations to the internees.
Densho was awarded $4,000 for the project, which will pay for preservation of the videotapes—some of which are in an obsolete format—before the information is lost. The video will be converted to digital format and stored on a hard drive. Eventually, the video may be made available on the Densho website. Patricia Kiyono, Densho's communications director, says the tapes record an important moment in the national Japanese-American experience. "It's a major piece of history, and this is the local chapter of it," she says.
A total of 18 projects received funding this year from the Heritage Collections Care program, which is financed by a portion of the King County document filing fee revenue. The program helps King County organizations address ongoing needs to preserve their collections for future generations. The program gives priority to basic collections issues and provides institutions with support to evaluate collections needs and to implement resulting recommendations. A total of $52,500 was awarded in 2008, the first year of the program.
