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: NEH with its chief constitutents (December) full PARTNERSHIP (January?)
