Elizabeth M and PT Reilly Intern Confessions: Week 2: Jerome and Q

This week, I have been writing about Katie. This includes her life in Hollywood as an actress and folk singer, where she lived, her relationships, and her writings. As part of the internship, I visited Jerome with my project managers (Kelly Phillips and Sean Evans), where Katie lived from 1971 until her death in 2017.

Katie Lees House, Jerome, AZ. May 2019.

Our first stop in Jerome was Katie’s house. It was amazing to see the view from her back porch looking out over the valley. Her house is a bright turquoise and can be seen from many places in Jerome.

Jerome Mining Museum, Jerome Historical Society, Jerome, AZ. May 2019

Our second stop was the Jerome Historical Society’s Mining Museum. The Mining Museum’s exhibit on Katie does her justice and is a fitting tribute to a person who was beloved and cherished by so many of her friends and neighbors. Seeing Katie’s house helped me better understand her and get a sense of why she loved Jerome so much.

The best part of visiting the Mining Museum and meeting with the museum staff who showed us some the amazing material they’re caring. They passed along several humorous anecdotes about working with Katie. It was a treat learning more about Katie from those who knew her well.

An unrelated highlight of the internship was having lunch with Richard Quartaroli, The Special Collections Librarian emeritus. Richard was friends with Katie and shared several stories about his time with her and his experiences as a river runner. Thanks, Richard, or can I call you “Q”?

As an interesting aside, one of Katie’s more popular songs – “It Must Be Something Psychological” – from her album Songs of Couch and Consultation (1957) was used in an Axe/Lynx men’s deodorant commercial in 2012. It is interesting to see how music can be re-used over time. See the commercial on YouTube here.

Elizabeth M and PT Reilly Internship: Week 1 – Research and Planning

            This year’s Special Collections and Archives exhibit, created by the Elizabeth M. and PT Reilly intern (me, see previous post), will feature and celebrate the life of Katie Lee, a singer, songwriter, actress, river runner, and activist. This summer, I will curate and develop an online and physical exhibit for Special Collections and Archives at Cline Library that will open in mid-October 2019. As this year’s Reilly intern, I would like to share my first week’s progress. I have been reading through her books and going through her manuscript collection. I’m reviewing photographs connected to Katie and the people and places she adored. Below, she is exploring Labyrinth Canyon in Glen Canyon in 1956 – one of her favorite places. Glen Canyon was her escape from Hollywood and performing and became her refuge until the Glen Canyon Dam was completed in 1963. After her Eden was dammed, Katie did not return to Glen Canyon and she advocated for the dam to be removed until her death in 2017.

It is our pleasure to announce Britney Bibeault as the 2019 Elizabeth M and PT Reilly Intern. Britney will be working with the staff of Special Collections and Archives to develop virtual and physical exhibits celebrating the life and activities of actress, singer/songwriter, river runner, author, activist, and world class cusser, Katie Lee. Britney is completing her junior year in the Honors College at Northern Arizona University studying anthropology and history.

Britney is the recipient of the Lumberjack scholarship and a member of the NAU Honors Society – Alpha Lambda Delta; she’s been on the Dean’s List since her arrival. Britney is a student assistant in Special Collections and Archives, where she arranged and described the manuscript portion of the Katie Lee collection. She also received the Mary Crawley scholarship in 2018.

To give everyone the opportunity to learn a bit more about Britney, we asked her a few questions…the most important of which is the last question.

What are you studying at NAU?

I am studying history and anthropology with an emphasis on archaeology. I’m fascinated by the study of previous cultures and history and what they tell us about ourselves.

Tell us where you’re from and why you chose NAU?

My family is currently living in Buckeye, AZ, but I have lived in Idaho, New Mexico, and England. I came to NAU because it is in Arizona and it’s close to my family. It’s also a beautiful area where it rains and there are a wide variety of outdoor and recreational activities. Academically, I was drawn to the Honors Program (now College) and the faculty in the Honors College.

What are you hoping to learn from the experience?

I am hoping to learn how to present information to the public in a way that is relatable and relevant. I had the opportunity to arrange and describe Katie’s collection, which combines my interest in history with the study of earlier cultures. Katie is a well-know figure in the region and she was involved with so many different things, such as acting, signing, writing, activism, etc. While I was going through her collection, I was learning about early human and indigenous activity in the Glen Canyon region of the Colorado Plateau. These things excite me!

What interested you about the Reilly Internship?

The Elizabeth M and PT Reilly Internship interested me because I would like to eventually work in a museum or archives, sharing and interpreting historical information to the public. The internship provides the perfect opportunity to learn how to develop an exhibit, tell a compelling story, and fabricate and install an exhibit. As I mentioned above, I processed the manuscript portion of the Katie Lee Collection and found myself wanting to learn more and understand her in a broader historical context.

Do you have a favorite Katie Lee quote, story, photo (PG13 rated), and/or something from her life that you would like to share with us?

One of the fascinating aspects of Katie Lee that isn’t quite as well-known is world travels. When she was in her late 50s, she inherited some money and used it to travel the world and kept detailed journals of her trip which are absolutely amazing. It is a dream of mine to travel around the world and Katie’s trip is inspirational.

What inspires you outside of class, studying, and the internship, and why?

I have many things that inspire me outside of class, studying, and the internship. My family and friends inspire me to grow and become a better person. I am inspired by the beauty around me in nature and other people. I’m also inspired by makers (people who crochet, knit, dye yarn quilt, essentially just make things) because I hope to be able to create beautiful things that people enjoy.

Are you in camp dog or cat…and why?

I love cats. I have a cat, named Abe, and Abe is the kewlest kat around. Anytime I see a cat, I get so excited. I actually have a tattoo of one of my cats. I like dogs; okay, I only like Corgis, because they’re dogs trained as cats, and they’re cute.

Complementing the exhibits, the Cline Library partnered with the Arizona State University Library and the Grand Canyon National Park Museum to digitize over 3,000 letters, photographs, reports, and other primary source material documenting the transition of the Grand Canyon from its pioneering, free-enterprise period to becoming a national park. The 100 Years of Grand project is both a celebration and exploration of one of America’s most fascinating national parks. The project was just featured in the Guardian Weekly.

We encourage everyone to visit and experience the Grand Canyon and the Splendor and Spectacle exhibits.

Comments Off on Working With HUM 195

Working With HUM 195

This past semester, Special Collections and Archives (SCA) had the honor of partnering with Dr. Rebekah Pratt-Sturges and her 2 sections of HUM 195, Humanities in Action on some class-based instruction around primary source materials housed in SCA. We began working with Dr. Pratt-Sturges over the summer, working out how best to teach her students (mostly freshmen) about primary source materials; how such materials can be found and used, and; how to incorporate them into a presentation. The HUM 195 students working in groups were charged with creating an online exhibit (using Omeka as their exhibit platform) that told a story about an element of local Flagstaff or NAU history using primary source material.As both sections of the classes occurred on the same day (one in the afternoon and one in the evening, beyond SCA’s normal hours), some schedule adjustments had to be made. The plan was to schedule 8 sessions across 4 dates, with the first 4 being the introduction and orientation to Special Collections, including a tour. The reason that were four sessions for the first round of instruction was we needed to split the classes to keep the numbers small for the tour and introduction to SCA. All of the other sessions were to the full classes.We began instruction sessions in mid-October with the introductions and tours to show students what archives house and the material they might expect to access, plus orienting them to the culture of SCA, the unit’s hours, the reading room, and services. We followed those up with instructing the classes on using the Colorado Plateau Digital Archives, and Arizona Archives Online at the end of October that showed students our two key online research tools to access online and analog primary source material. Then, we finished with the last sessions talking about descriptive metadata and then touring the classes through the “Spender and Spectacle: the 100 Year Journey of Grand Canyon National Park” exhibit so that the student could see the results of primary source research as a finished exhibit project. Each session had generous time for Q & A.So, how did it work?In short, it worked well from our standpoint. The final student projects (listed below) speak for themselves. I don’t believe too many freshman casually learn about material in SCA in the course of their studies, and yet, here are nearly 50 students who not only have learned about the value of primary source material, but are able to independently find material in SCA to support their research (and many did so external to their scheduled instruction sessions) and integrate them into their projects.For SCA this was a bit of work. There was quite a bit of advanced planning, and meetings and e-mails to confirm that appropriate results and that solid information was delivered for each session. Each session required two SCA staffers. These 8 sessions represented 25% of our total fall semester course instruction load. There were also around 24 instances of individual and group research consultations, research recommendations/strategy sessions or interviews with individual students that were conducted in support of the students’ projects. Saying that, these are the sorts of collaborative, and synthetic teaching and learning events we really enjoy and value because of the results. For this course there were clear learning objectives, and ultimately students were successful in producing their final products. Finally, we were granted the opportunity to view the students’ presentations here in the library in room 249. This allowed us to see the fruits of (all of) our labors and judge the course results for ourselves.


Here are the student presentations from HUM 195 (and yes, a couple of links do appear to be broken):

The Cline Library Special Collections and Archives partnered with NAU Student Veterans Services to develop an oral history project. The purpose of this oral history project is to record and preserve the unique perspectives of our diverse student veterans as they reflect upon their military service and subsequent transition to civilian life/academia. This project is one of the few in America attempting to capture the voices and stories of the student veterans.

Our student veterans experiences are unique and inspiring, and we want to preserve and make available their experiences for the historical record and for future student veterans. The project began in the spring semester of 2018, and to-date, we have captured eight oral histories of NAU veterans from World War II and the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.

We would like to highlight the first student veteran oral history we conducted as part of this project. Zachery Hamilton served two tours in Afghanistan in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012. Following his service, Zachary enrolled at NAU in 2013. While at NAU, Zach became involved with Student Veteran Services. His involvement eventually led to a full-time position in that department, where he works today. To see and listen to Zach’s interview, please visit the digital archives at the Cline Library here and here.

If there are any NAU student or alumni veterans that would like to participate in this project, we would like to hear from you. Please send us an email at Vets.OralHistory@nau.edu.

The NAU Student Veteran Oral History project is a collaborative effort between the Cline Library Special Collections and Archives, NAU Student Veteran Services, and most importantly, the student veterans. I would like to take a moment to thank all the participants in this project:

The Doing of the Thing…

The Doing of the Thing…

 

It’s that time of the year when SCA installs its annual exhibit. This year’s exhibit is titled “Splendor and Spectacle: The 100 Year Journey of the Grand Canyon National Park.” The past few weeks have been filled with excitement and a palpable buzz in the department as we being printing, matting, framing, and installing the pieces of the exhibit. This year, we’ve added a twist to our exhibits and we’re including two historic boats as part of the story.

Leslie “Buckethead” Jones, sitting in his aluminum kayak with a Go Pro prototype

Les Jones’ hand built kayak. Yes, he actually took this down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon!

Our good friends at the Grand Canyon National Park Museum (Kim and Colleen), were kind enough to loan us Leslie Jones’ 17’ aluminum kayak. For those of you unfamiliar with Les Jones, he was known on the river as “Buckethead Jones” and was the creator the Colorado River scroll map. Les built his aluminum kayak, running most rivers solo, and taking movies from a camera mounted on a football helmet, ergo “Buckethead.” By the early 1950s, Les began taping USGS maps together and filling in the missing contours. Les began using aerial photos, USGS maps and his own drawings and notes to trace and draw detailed maps on a scroll paper strips 7-10 inches wide. The maps were not waterproof and faded in sunlight, so they had to be protected from water and sunlight. Later his maps were copied onto waterproof mylar. Jones copied a river profile on the map above the river segments, labeling rapids and features on both. The maps contained rapid ratings, drawings of major rapids, Powell and other historic river camps, historic inscriptions and other detailed information. Les’ maps were some of the first maps to contain conservation messages.

The stunning Julius, sitting on a trailer in the parking lot of the Cline Library

River runner, author, boat builder, oar maker, and historian Brad Dimock loaned us his replica of the Buzz Holmstrom’s historic Julius. In 1937 Buzz built his own boat and rowed it down the Green and Colorado rivers by himself! Buzz made the 1,100 mile journey in 52 days, running nearly every rapid. Although Buzz’s Julius F has long since been reclaimed by nature, Brad Dimock used historic photographs, his river running knowledge, and his extraordinary boat building skills to build a replica. Brad has rowed over 4,000 miles in the Julius since building it 2002. He kindly loaned us his Julius for our exhibit and now it sits comfortably in Special Collections and Archives.

The man…Buzz Holmstrom, sitting on the deck of the Julius

Brad contemplating the latest chapter of the Julius

 

Now getting the Julius into the library and Special Collections and Archives was a bit of a feat. The Julius weighs in at 476 pounds and I don’t care how many librarians and archivists there are in the library, there’s no way we were going to be able to get it up to the second floor. We called on our new friends, the Flagstaff Firemen Movers. Eight, very strong off-duty firemen showed up and moved the Julius from the library parking lot through the first floor of the library, up the circular staircase and into Special Collections and Archives in 21 minutes. These guys were amazing and I think they enjoyed moving a replica historic boat instead of a refrigerator or piano for a change.

Flagstaff Firemen Movers – these guys are amazing!

We want to thank Kim and Colleen at the Grand Canyon National Park Museum and Brad Dimock for loaning these two amazing historical boats for our “Splendor and Spectacle” exhibit. We want to also thank the Flagstaff Firemen Movers for helping us get the Julius in Special Collections and Archives (see you guys in 11 ½ months when we need to bring it back to Brad!).

“Splendor and Spectacle” will be open to the public on Monday, October 15 and will be installed through September 2019.
