Florida Folklife Collection
nancy maron

2015

The Florida Memory site first came online in 1996, and today it enjoys over forty-eight million page views each year from folklorists, historians, musicians, teachers, students, and others who use this collection of documents, photographs, film, and sound recordings. The Florida Folklife Collection, launched online in 2003, has become one of Florida Memory's most popular components, in part due to the popularity of the sound recordings it includes. Funding for Florida Memory, which has consisted of federal grants, has been steady for over a decade. Support for Florida Memory and for specific collections within it-such as the Folklife Collection-has made possible several upgrades over the years, including the addition of audio files, upgrading of the user interface, expansion of social media and outreach initiatives, and the migration of all collections on the website to a common platform. To date, the overarching strategy for continuing to attract funding for Florida Memory has been to make the website an indispensable and beloved part of the Florida cultural landscape. INTRODUCTION The Florida Folklife Collection is an online collection consisting of over fifteen thousand digitized photographs, films, and sound recordings. The audio component includes vocal and instrumental music, ethnographic field recordings, and interviews that document Florida's diverse cultural traditions. Created in 2003 with funding from a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Studies (IMLS), the Florida Folklife Collection is one component of the online platform called Florida Memory. Florida Memory was created and is managed by the State Library and Archives of Florida. In addition to the

Report of the California Bird Records Committee: 1999 Records
Alvaro Jaramillo

2002

The California Bird Records Committee reached decisions on 204 records involving 88 species in 1999, endorsing 150 of them. New to California was the Shy Albatross (Thalassarche cauta), extensively photographed 9 nautical miles W of Point Arena, Mendocino County. Also added to the state list was the Red-crowned Parrot (Amazona viridigenalis), now established in southern California cities and constituting the ninth nonnative species on the state list. The Three-toed Woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus) was removed from the state list following a reassessment of the lone single-observer sight record of this species, from Modoc County in 1985. Adjusted for these changes, California's bird list stands at 614 species. This 25th report of the California Bird Records Committee (hereafter the CBRC or the Committee) details the evaluation of 204 records involving 88 species. Although most records pertain to birds found in 1999, the period covered by this report spans the 102 years from 189...

Good Old Rock and Roll: Performing the 1950s in the 1970s
Philip Auslander

Journal of Popular Music Studies, 2003

Good Old Rock and Roll 167 on rock and roll records, before contributing to the development of rock music. For them, the rock and roll revival entailed a return to their earliest musical experiences as both listeners and players. Lennon, in particular, conveyed a strong sense that by playing rock and roll songs, he was digging down to the bedrock of his own artistic identity. On the recording of The Plastic Ono Band's set at Toronto, Lennon introduces the group by saying ''We're just gonna do numbers that we know, you know, 'cause we've never played together before.'' The implication is that rock and roll songs like ''Blue Suede Shoes,'' ''Money,'' and ''Dizzy Miss Lizzie'' are so basic to the vocabulary of rock that any randomly assembled group of rock musicians should be able to play them without rehearsal. On his album Rock 'n' Roll, a collection of cover versions of well-known songs from the 1950s, recorded in 1973-1974 and released in 1975, Lennon reiterates this point in explicitly autobiographical terms by associating the songs with his own youth and formation as a musician. Among the many credits listed on the album's back cover is the statement: ''Relived by: JL.'' The front cover reproduces a photograph of Lennon in Hamburg, Germany, taken when he was 22 years old. Lennon is seen leaning against the side of an arched entryway, looking at passers-by through hooded eyes. He is dressed in the uniform associated with the British working-class subculture of rockers: black leather jacket, black jeans, and leather boots. This photograph evokes the historical moment in the very early 1960s when many British groups, including The Beatles, found work as cover bands, churning out versions of rock and roll songs in the disreputable clubs on Hamburg's Reeperbahn. Wiener, one of Lennon's biographers, describes the significance of the song selection on Rock 'n' Roll in detail: The songs John decided to cover on Rock 'n' Roll were not just any old oldies. They represented his own personal musical history. John sang Buddy Holly's ''Peggy Sue'' on Rock 'n' Roll. The name ''Beatles'' had been inspired by Buddy Holly's Crickets and ''That'll Be the Day'' was the first song John learned to play on the guitar in 1957. He had sung many other Buddy Holly songs: ''It's So Easy'' as Johnny and the Moondogs in his first TV appearance in 1959, and ''Words of Love,'' which the Beatles recorded in 1964 (268-9).

An urban success story: Breeding seabirds on Alcatraz Island, California, 1990-2002
Daphne Hatch

Marine Ornithology

Located in the San Francisco Bay estuary, Alcatraz Island has in recent years become an important breeding site for seabirds, including Brandt's Cormorant Phalacrocorax penicillatus, Pelagic Cormorant P. pelagicus, Pigeon Guillemot Cepphus columba and Western Gull Larus occidentalis. We synthesized available data on breeding populations from 1990-2002 for those four species and calculated annual productivity in 1997-2002 for Brandt's Cormorants and 1999-2002 for Pelagic Cormorants and Western Gulls. Population trends and productivity were compared to those on larger, offshore Southeast Farallon Island (SEFI). Brandt's Cormorants established a colony that grew to more than 460 breeding pairs during the study period. Small populations of Pelagic Cormorants and Pigeon Guillemots on Alcatraz remained relatively stable during 1995-2002. Breeding Western Gulls increased at a 6.0% annual rate from 1990-2002. Productivity of Brandt's Cormorants and Western Gulls on Alcatraz ...

Ramona memories: Fiction, tourist practices, and placing the past in Southern California
Dydia DeLyser

Annals of the Association of American …, 2003

Though today it is mostly forgotten, scholars have long written of the impact of Helen Hunt Jackson's 1884 novel Ramona, about how it saturated southern California's landscape with new, Ramona-related tourist attractions and ultimately inspired a romanticized false past for the region. In this article, I reevaluate the landscape, the novel, and those scholarly interpretations, discovering what I consider, not simply a false past, but rather a new social memory for the region, one that was felt and practiced by the tourists (and locals) who visited the many Ramonarelated landmarks. In particular, I explore the creation of two Ramona sites, the ''Home of Ramona'' and ''Ramona's Marriage Place,'' and detail how tourism and boosterism here intertwined to create attractions that were both profitable as well as meaningful. Using tiny traces scavenged in archives and private collections-souvenirs, postcards, photographs, and scrapbooks-I demonstrate how fact and fiction blurred to become mutually constitutive as a new, Ramona-inspired social memory became inscribed on the landscape and in tourists' lives.

There back again in Coachella Valley: A multimedia presentation on historical sites in the Coachella Valley
Sue Ray

1998

^ This project was designed to enhance the delivery of the thinking curriculum recommended in It^s Elementary! by the California Department of Education to students. Third grade Social Science-History thinking curriculum was adapted for the Coachella Valley area by Desert Sands Unified School District personnel in accordance with state frameworks. The curriculum includes lesson plans that are well-written and provide students with reading materials in English or Spanish. However, students who are not linguistic learners, who are Limited English proficient, or who are low readers are not supported within the current materials available for third grade students. With budget cuts, the school district can no longer afford the fees or buses necessary to take children to view a variety of historical locations. Their needs prompted the creation of this project. In order to enhance third grade students' understanding and build upon knowledge they have of their locality, this project was written both in English and Spanish. It covers five historical sites of interest in the Coachella Valley area. It uses digital imaging and audio in addition to written text for the purpose of enhancing student learning and retention. Ill ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A popular song of recent years, "The Wind Beneath My Wings," expresses much of my feelings towards family, ) friends, and people who have been in my life during this project. These people are my heros and, with them pushing me along, this project finally was completed. My gratitude and heartfelt thanks go to Dr. George Araya for his efforts in bringing this Master's Program to the desert community and teaching some of the classes; to Dr. Rowena Santiago for her willingness to travel the miles to help, encourage, and mentor my fellow classmates and myself through this project; to my family who have been a constant source of support and encouragement to be better today than yesterday throughout this project as well as other events in my life; to my friends who have stuck with me through all the months of this project with their endless cheer and inspiration; and to my fellow classmates who have given me a good example to follow through their work in this program.
