Message-ID: <s729ed53.059@michigan.gov>

This month marks the fifteenth anniversary of the capitol rededication! 
Our image reflects that theme.  

You could say that we have a "special treat" this time.  We recently
uploaded an oral history interview with Jerry Lawler, who oversaw the
restoration.  You can access this interview from our Image of the Month
page: 
http://www.michigan.gov/hal/0,1607,7-160-17445_19273_19313-179272--,00.html
   

The interview was uploaded to our digital collections page.  On this
page, you can find photos, sheet music, architectural drawings and more.
 Watch for these and other items in the future.  You can find the

Thanks for sharing, Bob.

What a coincidence between the Capitol's survival and the 2008 Presidential Campaign...even if it's just a generation apart :-).

************************************************************************************

The 22nd annual Western Archives Institute will be held at San Diego State University in San Diego, California, June 15 - June 27, 2008.  The Western Archives Institute is an intensive, two-week program that provides integrated instruction in basic archival practices to individuals with a variety of backgrounds, including those whose jobs require a fundamental understanding of archival skills, but have little or no previous archives education; those who have expanding responsibility for archival materials; those who are practicing archivists but have not received formal instruction; and those who demonstrate a commitment to an archival career.
The Institute also features site visits to historical records repositories and a diverse curriculum that includes history and development of the profession, theory and terminology, records management, appraisal, arrangement, description, manuscripts acquisition, archives and the law, photographs, preservation administration, reference and access, outreach programs, and managing archival programs and institutions. 

Tim Ericson has graciously agreed to serve as the 2008 Principal Faculty Member. With over twenty years of experience, Professor Ericson is extensively involved in archival education including coordinating and teaching as Senior Lecturer Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Information Studies.

Mr. Ericson has published in a number of archival journals, and he received a number of honors throughout his career including the Society of American Archivists Fellow Ernst Posner Prize winner for his article published in the American Archivist in 2005. Professionally, Ericson is active in a number of archival organizations including service as the President of the Society of American Archivists in 2003-2004. Mr. Ericson served as the Principal Faculty member for WAI in 2002 and a special Tribal Institute held in 2003.

Subject: [Maa-l] Mackinac Bridge Story on History Channel
Message-ID: <4b818a710711300521w738cb4dci9b3ba00f1e8bb9fa@mail.gmail.com>

List,

I see that the History Channel will be running a hour-long segment on
the Mackinac Bridge.  Here is the blub:

Friday, December 7, 8-9pm -- Modern Marvels - Mackinac Bridge.
Until recently, the Mackinac Bridge was the longest suspension bridge
in the world. One of the top engineering marvels of the 20th century,
the bridge spans the 4-mile wide straits of Mackinac, where Lakes
Huron and Michigan come together. The Mighty Mac connects the pastoral
northern mainland of Michigan with the state's heavily forested Upper
Peninsula and stands as a testament to the dreams, determination, and
hard work of a small few who created a true masterpiece of modern
engineering.
