Message-ID: <s610c733.082@michigan.gov>

April begins the baseball season!  The Archives of Michigan has decided
to mark this occassion.

First, there's our April Image of the Month.  We spotlight the Detroit
Tigers' 1945 season.  Click here for this feature:    
http://www.michigan.gov/hal/0,1607,7-160-17445_19273_19313-165481--,00.html


If you enjoy our baseball images, then you might consider sending one
as an E-Postcard.  The E-Postcard page also provides links to current
and past baseball Image of the Month pages.  You can find all this here:

http://www.michigan.gov/hal/0,1607,7-160-17445_19273_19313-144689--,00.html


I also have a note that's not baseball-related, but still very good
news to some.  We've updated our Naturalization Records Index page by
adding indexes for Barry and Genesee Counties.  Naturalization indexes
are now available online for a total of thirty-one Michigan counties (An
additional number are available in the Archives reading room.).  You can
access the online naturalization indexes here: 
http://www.michigan.gov/hal/0,1607,7-160-17449_18635_20684---,00.html

Subject: [Maa-l] Radio Interviews
Message-ID: <s61d07f4.099@michigan.gov>

I've noted before that I've written some local history articles for
Lansing's City Pulse newspaper.  These have prompted a couple local
radio interviews.

This Friday, April 13th, I will be on the Jack Ebling Show from about
6:20 - 6:30.  The show can be heard on Lansing A.M. Radio Station 1320
(Call letters WILS).  The subject is Lansing's African-American
neighborhoods.  The interview was prompted by this City Pulse article: 
http://www.lansingcitypulse.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=983&Itemid=29
 (I don't know if you can pick it up outside of Lansing.)

Last October, I did a radio interview on the history of trolleys in
Lansing.  It was for the City Pulse's radio show (broadcast on the MSU
student station.).  You can now access that interview online.  I came in
about twenty minutes into the show and talked for ten minutes.  If you
fast-forward about-third of the way in (after the interview with Lansing
Mayor Virg Bernero), then you can hear me.  You'll need Quicktime or
something equivalent to access it.  With that in mind, here's the link:

figure that such promotions are a legitimate use of the listserv.)

Bob,

Congratulations on the radio interviews.  As long as it is okay to toot
our own trumpets, MAA members who might be interested to hear an
interview that I gave on February 16, 2007, can google "Civil War Talk
Radio", a web-based interview show that has a complete archives of Civil
War-related interviews for the past 2.5 years.  The host is a native
Detroiter and U-M grad, Gerald Prokopowicz, formerly the curator of the
Abraham Lincoln Museum in Ft. Wayne, IN, and now a history faculty
member at E. Carolina University.  We discussed the outstanding archival
collections in Ann Arbor (Bentley and Clements) and then discussed my
book, "The Civil War Memoirs of a Confederate Cavalryman."  It was great
fun and his interviews give a wide variety of history-related
professionals (curators, authors, illustrators) a chance to discuss
their specialty studies.

Cheers,
Tom Nanzig

A confederate cavalryman?  I always knew there was something a little
suspicious in your character!  Weren't all those kinds of records burned
as part of Sherman's march to the sea and similar happy memories
cherished by all Yankees (whoops, make that "Americans") as we reflect
upon the history of the War of Northern Aggression?

Geoff,
My harmonica version of "Dixie" is still a little rough but it is played

I absolutely do think we should toot our own trumpets.  If nothing
else, I think it's just nice to know what others are doing.

...even if "what they're doing" includes lauding the achievements of
traitorous Rebel scum.  : )

Hello all,

Many of you have been accessing our 2007 Conference publication via 
the MAA website. I've just learned that the registration forms for 
the conference and/or the workshop are not functional on the website. 
You must register the old-fashioned way, via snail mail, using a 
printed form.

Your conference registration packets should be in your mailbox any 
day now, as we stuffed them last week. Look for an update about 
registration via this listserv  Monday, April 23, 2007.

Have a great weekend!

Message-ID: <s62c6f0d.003@michigan.gov>

Can't remeber if this was already posted.  Sorry for the repeat if it
was:

TELL CONGRESS TO SAVE THE NHPRC!

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission
(NHPRC)--the 
grant-making arm of the National Archives and Records Administration 
(NARA)--is targeted in the President's proposed FY 2008 budget for zero

funding for grants and zero funding for staff to administer the agency
and 
its programs.  For FY 2008, the National Coalition for History supports

full funding for national grants at $10 million plus an additional $2 
million for staffing and other administrative costs.  Now is the
critical 
time to contact Congress and make your voice heard on saving the
NHPRC!

The newly created House and Senate Financial Services and General 
Government appropriations subcommittees have jurisdiction over the NARA

appropriation, including the NHPRC.  These subcommittees currently are

drafting appropriations bills for the programs under their
jurisdiction.

If you support funding for the NHPRC grants program, please contact
your 
Congressional representatives now, especially if they are members of
the 
House and Senate subcommittees on Financial Services and General
Government.

The two subcommittees can be accessed at:
http://appropriations.house.gov/Subcommittees/sub_fsdc.shtml and 
http://appropriations.senate.gov/financialservices.cfm 

To contact your Members of Congress about funding for the NHPRC grants

program, go to the Humanities Advocacy Network at 
http://www.humanitiesadvocacy.org/action_ctr.html 

The website allows you to send a pre-written electronic letter to your

Member of Congress or to edit the letter to include your own story and

express your own views.

You can also fax letters or call your Congressional representatives and

senators asking them to support $10 million for the grant-making arm of
the 
NHPRC, and an additional $2 million for staffing.  All Members of
Congress 
can be reached through the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121. In

addition, most Members of Congress list their fax number on their 
website.  Find your representative at http://www.house.gov/ and your 
senator at: http://www.senate.gov/ 

If you can, give specific examples of NHPRC funded projects in your 
congressional district or State.  For more information about lists of 
grants made in your state, visit the National Historical Publications
and 
Records Commission grants program website at: 
http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/projects/states-territories/ 

The NHPRC is the only grant making organization, public or private,
whose 
mission is to provide national leadership in the effort to promote the

preservation and accessibility of historical records and to publish the

papers of significant figures and themes in American history.

If Congress allows the NHPRC to be zeroed out of the federal budget,
this 
important program, which has played an essential federal leadership
role 
and has an outstanding success record of using a small amount of
federal 
funds to leverage other contributions, would come to an end.  This
would be 
devastating to projects such as editing and publishing the papers of 
nationally significant individuals and institutions; the development of
new 
archival programs; the promotion of the preservation and use of
historical 
records; regional and national coordination in addressing major
archival 
issues; and a wide range of other activities relating to America's 
documentary heritage.

Please take a minute to contact the members of these key subcommittees
or 
your Members of Congress and let them know how vital the NHPRC is to
the 
historical and archival communities.  Without your help today, the
NHPRC 
may be eliminated!
