Thank you for participating in the discussion at NEH on Friday, November 7, of a
Partnership for America's Story. Attached are (1) a summary of the meeting and (2). a list
of participants with phone, fax, and e-mail contacts.
Also attached is (3) a partial list of organizations we plan to invite to a larger partnership
meeting in January. We are focusing on national organizations that bring programming
expertise and/or audiences into the network. Who would you add? Please include the
name of the organization's CEO.
Suggestions for programming:
- request from agencies annotated list of what each
has, can offer to partnership
- NEH is the coordinating partner
- website to highlight My History is America's History
- encourage multi-media telling of stories: painting,
etc.
- encourage oral history through letter-writing
- focus on original sources in the home
Outreach/publicity suggestions:
- state council initiatives
- conference themes at AAM, ALA, etc.
- see Dept. of Ed. listing below
- public space for stories in newspapers (approach
newspaper association: solicit 300-500-word stories)
- create a PBS program on the initiative
- replicable version of kit at public libraries
Programs and initiatives at other federal agencies
PCAH. Creative America report urged attention to Millenium.
PCAH's own millenium projects include Millenium Trails (with
NEA, NEH, IMLS), an invitation to explore America's past and
future. Also plan a travelling exhibition on arts &
humanities.
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. Major educational job to do in U.S.:
address lack of knowledge about local history. Can be done
with help of ALA; need more books of family history;
continued emphasis on genealogy, family reunions. Eager for
quality books of family histories. Need some "how-to" books
on preparing these. Need to let people know they're
available.
IMLS. Major initiatives: (1) programs to inform public
about museum conservation issues beginning in 1998; (2)
grants of $10,000 to each state museum association to work
with museums to promote museums' role in local, national,
and international community of new century. Museum
resources on the Internet. American Strategy: work
together to make resources available (Jan. 98)
DEPT OF EDUCATION. AMERICA READS CHALLENGE: calls on all
Americans to support teachers and help ensure that every
American child can read well and independently by the end of
3rd grade. Program now situated in White House; has 15
sites; goal for 1999 is 50 sites (at least one in each
state). Currently developing toolkit: what you need to
know to start an America Reads site.
READ*WRITE*NOW. Summer reading and writing challenge
PARTNERSHIP FOR AMERICA'S STORY
Meeting of federal agencies
11/7/97
Meeting participants
See list attached.
NEH vision and groundwork
Ann Young Orr sketched out the NEH plan. The initial
components: KIT and WEBSITE where people could post their
family stories.
Timeline: launch in spring 1998 with White House
involvement. Studs Terkel: "stories of the anonymous.' One
year later, an event showcasing representative stories.
Each month scheduled "visibility stops": a major event
spotlighting one/several partners' projects.
Importance of community-based community-building exercises.
Discussion of the NEH plan
Funding: NEH plans to invest some of its funds in the
project and the partnership; does not plan to fund
programs at other agencies.
General reaction to the idea:
- will help people realize all materials are
significant (not just presidential papers)
- people need to know what's in Archives and use them
- need to develop historical consciousness in U.S.
- family history the emphasis, not genealogy
- emphasize "telling" not "saving" America's story
Cautions:
- U.S. history might be better than "American" history
- creating a burden for institutions
- minimum ages for using research libraries
- re: electronic storage formats: consult and make
sure it's done right; what type of database, etc.
Suggestions for kit:
- box for collecting materials
- include info on what other agencies can do
- circulate in draft to all agencies before
publication
-
reconvene when we've devised kit
-
see READ WRITE NOW program comments below
developed by Partnership for Family Involvement in
Education. Now reaching 1.5 million readers. A few years
back had a family stories theme. Used kits, which "became
the glue that holds the community project together"; need to
be written at third-grade level; use best of research and
effectiveness practices; no fancy language; partners with
major national organizations like principals, teachers
associations; targeted distribution ; 1-800-number for more
info; website.
PARTNERSHIP FOR FAMILY INVOLVEMENT IN EDUCATION (including
girl scouts, boy scouts, YMCA, LaRaza). Important networks
to work with. Other networks include:
National Writing Project
Even Start library programs
National History Day
HUD - safe haven sites
military families on bases
arts partnership
NATIONAL ARCHIVES. Big event coming up: opening of 1930
census in 2002.
Largest public audience is genealogists. Offer workshops,
publications. (Workshops for parents/kids/families could be
reinstituted.) Work with middle school kids on private
resources. What NARA has to offer: expertise & resources.
Regional archives would be a good distribution point.
[Caution re: overburdening the field. Emphasize original
sources in the home, which is main source for boy scouts
working on merit badge. ]
Beyond materials/workshops already available, NARA could
pursue: (1) getting funding to get the census on the Web
(or at least the Soundex) ; (2) create a series of tutorials
on video of, e.g., how to handle documents, how to use the
federal register, passenger arrival lists, etc. (at cost of
$20,000-$30,000 for 10 mins. ) ; (3) encourage publication of
genealogy of presidents and their wives (and other prominent
Americans?) to demonstrate to public that the records exist,
how complex they are, how the family is involved in the
unfolding of the American story, etc.
NEA. Kit shouldn't just be academic. Should emphasize
storytelling, not just historywriting. Include artwork that
reflects the community; telling America's story through the
arts. Most relevant area of NEA grantmaking is folk and
traditional arts: oral history and storytelling projects
throughout the years. Experience of folklorists and
storytellers is important.
BIA. Kit could be distributed through BIA school systems.
Might be a good place to test it. Could fit into BIA's
family literacy program. BIA has two websites where family
history initiative could be disseminated.
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. Prepared to circulate draft of kit
to all 16 museums. Check resources available in Folklife
Program, Folkways recordings. Make sure traditional
knowledge systems (vs. academic) also part of the project.
Anacostia Museum has conducted generational arts projects
for telling the story of families and communities;
collection policy includes specific commitment to family and
community materials
Suggest in year 2000 museums throughout U.S. do exhibitions
on the family as part of the community.
Create black history month in your home.
AHRI. Emphasis is on historic preservation. Could provide
some success stories in historic preservation and shore up
the community history aspect of the initiative. Important
ally: Society of American Archaeology: handbook on
archaeology. Boy scouts have merit badges for archaeology,
heritage, citizenship in the nation.
Regrets that NPS is not present at the meeting. Strong
teaching programs at historic sites; working closely with
state historic preservation societies and certified local
governments in historic preservation efforts; good success
with youth groups.
Next steps
Meeting followup: distribute to participants:
list of participants
summary of meeting
request for annotated list of what each agency has or
can offer to the partnership
draft list of invitees to Partnership meeting in
December - solicit suggestions
Schedule meetings:
