VAF Financial News

Christine R Henry — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 16:55:00 GMT

by Lisa P. Davidson, VAF Treasurer

VAF has always been fortunate to have careful financial stewardship and the support of its members. In recent years, our traditionally modest means have been transformed into a position of fiscal strength, due to the support of an extremely generous anonymous donor. Just this spring VAF received another $100,000 donation, the eighth from this amazing benefactor. Several years of well-attended and well-run conferences have also contributed to our financial health.

The VAF Board, as guided by the Finance Committee, has instituted an Investment Policy Statement with the primary objective of “preserving the long-term, real purchasing power of our assets while providing a relatively predictable and growing stream of annual distributions in support of the VAF operating budget.” In plain language, we want to maintain our nest egg for the future while increasing Board spending in key areas such as student support, conferences, and fieldwork. Currently VAF’s assets are placed in several Vanguard index funds. Starting with VAF’s 2017 budget, 4.5% of the net value of assets, averaged over the previous twelve quarters, is distributed to the operating budget. For the 2018 budget, this added $31,750 of income to a total operating budget of $106,740.

The new income stream has allowed VAF to expand its operating budget in important ways. Because VAF conferences are the heart of our organization, our operating budget now includes additional financial support for conference fieldwork and for conference planning services. VAF has also increased the pool of funding for the Ambassador Awards and Simpson Presenter Awards. In recognition of the success of the 2016 Durham conference, VAF made donations to Mendenhall Homeplace and Preservation Durham to support their ongoing work. Similarly, Preservation Utah received a donation after the 2017 Utah conference to create a “VAF Legacy Program” promoting field documentation through workshops for local partners.

Beyond conferences, initiatives such as the Orlando Ridout V Fieldwork Fellowship, the VAF special book series with University of Tennessee Press, and Buildings & Landscapes have received budget increases. Members with questions about the details of VAF’s operating budget, investment accounts, or any other financial matters are welcome to contact me (treasurer@vafweb.org).

VAF Website has new section on Field Schools

Christine R Henry — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 16:53:00 GMT

Check out the newest section of the VAF website, under the Learning tab drop down menu are announcements for Field Schools. This new website section will be updated on a regular basis to keep the information fresh.

Currently there are only a few announcements, although they are all great opportunities:

Pacific Northwest Field School
Poplar Forest Field School
The Kentucky Field School
Buildings-Landscapes-Cultures Field School, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The posts include images, descriptions, and even two blog posts describing student experiences to help potential participants understand the scope of each project. However, we have plenty of space for more! So please send your announcements (preferably as images and text files rather than as a flier) whenever they are available to vaneditor@vafweb.org

Montana Preservation Road Show Heads to Columbia Falls, June 13-16, 2018

Christine R Henry — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 16:40:00 GMT

Four Days of Uncommon Tours & Talks, June 13-16, 2018

The Montana Preservation Alliance (MPA) in partnership with the USDA Forest Service Region 1 is excited to announce the next Montana Preservation Road Show, a touring historic preservation conference to be held June 13-16 at Cedar Creek Lodge in Columbia Falls and around the Flathead/Glacier region. The Road Show launches from a different small town every other year with the mission to immerse participants in the history and culture of rural Montana, spotlight great local preservation efforts, and raise awareness of the importance of preserving Montana’s historic buildings and cultural landscapes.

In the Flathead, that means taking the path less traveled to see barns and homesteads, tribal landscapes, industrial buildings, ranger stations, depots, hotels, and more. Along the way, veteran preservationists, local historians, tribal experts, archaeologists, teachers and professors all join in to provide a well-rounded portrait of the historic places that define the Flathead area and her people.

“By getting people out of the conference room and into the field to experience history first hand, we all gain a better appreciation and deeper understanding of the places in our past,” says MPA Outreach Director Christine Brown. “There are simply remarkable places hidden in the rural corners of Montana, and the Road Show aims to shed a light on the importance of these places – how they played a role in the past, how they’ve been preserved or need to be preserved, and how they continue to be an important factor in our community’s economic and cultural well-being.”

You don’t have to be an historian or professional preservationist to join this conference – just an enthusiastic traveler, listener, and lover of history. The hardest part of the Road Show is choosing from several concurrent tour and/or talk options during the four days. “The Flathead has such a wealth of architecture, history, and cultural sites to learn about, we’ve really had a hard time narrowing down all the choices to fit into four days,” says Brown. “It will be a tough decision for a lot of folks to choose which all-day and half-day tours they want to take.” For those who can’t attend the full conference, tours on Saturday offer a one-day registration fee.

Tour Highlights

Explore the North Fork Road and its history on a trip to Big Creek Work Center, Polebridge, and other North Fork landmarks with local historians and the Flathead National Forest archaeologist.
Head east to Browning and St. Mary Lake to learn Blackfeet history and culture with tribal experts
See the Flathead through the eyes of the merchants and magnates responsible for high-style landmarks like Belton Chalet, Lake McDonald Lodge, the Conrad Mansion and Cemetery and more, with historian Ellen Baumler and architect, Jim McDonald
Discover post-World War II industrial architecture at Hungry Horse Dam, and at the ruins of the Columbia Falls Aluminum Company plant with local and national experts.
Choose a Saturday tour to learn about Salish-Kootenai history and culture; Spotted Bear Ranger District history; or Lower Valley historic barns.

MPA also has room blocks reserved until May 13 at Belton Chalet in West Glacier (starting at $140/night); Glacier Highland Motel in West Glacier (starting at $105/night until); and the West Glacier Motel (starting at $99/night).

Online registration for the conference will open on February 5. Registration is $200 for members or $225 for non-members and includes a reception on June 13; all-day tour, lunch, and evening presentation on June 14; and talks, lunch, and half-day tour on June 15. Tours on June 16 are optional/a-la-carte and cost $50 to $100 each.

Our Partners

MPA is proud to announce that the Road Show is supported for the next three years by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. Since 2012, our award-winning conference has blazed new pathways with the USDA Forest Service Region 1, Bureau of Land Management, Montana State Parks, Montana History Foundation, Humanities Montana, Bureau of Reclamation, local museums and businesses to offer a traveling preservation conference that transports participants to lesser known, rural historic sites, many of which have been saved through National Historic Preservation Act activities.

Investigating Mid-Atlantic Plantations Conference, Call for Papers, September 15, 2018

Christine R Henry — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 16:25:00 GMT

Investigating Mid-Atlantic Plantations:

Slavery, Economies, and Space

Philadelphia, PA

October 17-19, 2019

CALL FOR PAPERS:

Stenton Museum, the McNeil Center for Early American Studies, the Program in Early American Economy and Society at the Library Company of Philadelphia, Cliveden of the National Trust, and the Graduate Program in Historic Preservation at the University of Pennsylvania invite your participation in a two-and-a half-day conference exploring the creation and development of plantations in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century mid-Atlantic region.

A real-world challenge to Thomas Jefferson’s vision of an agrarian republic of (white) smallholders, plantations were sites of concentrated wealth and exploitation. More familiar in a Southern context, mid-Atlantic plantations had their own forms, meanings, and relationships. In the mid-Atlantic – where fertile farmland and deep-water ports provided complementary economic engines – plantations grew in close proximity to urban centers, Northern and Southern interests co-mingled, and boundaries frequently blurred. This conference seeks to understand the unique qualities of plantation complexes in the middle colonies (states) while also comparing these regional phenomena with better-known Southern institutions and situating them within the larger contexts of British North America and the United States.

This conference is intentionally interdisciplinary. We seek participants from diverse fields including economic, social, and cultural history; African American studies; geography, archeology, and material culture; and museum studies, cultural resource management, and historic preservation. Paper proposals might address economic, familial, and religious networks; enslavement, indenture, and “free” labor; land ownership and land development; agricultural and horticultural practices; architecture, circulation, and spatial relationships; physical and cognitive maps; foodways and music; industry and commerce; and the construction of gendered or racial categories. We look forward to seeing even more ways that applicants might illuminate these mid-Atlantic geographies of privilege, slavery, and forced labor; manifold local and far-reaching economies; and spaces both rural and urban.

Conference organizers will consider both individual papers and panel submissions. Papers for many of the panels will be pre-circulated. PowerPoint presentations, especially those relating to visual and material culture, may also be pre-circulated. Non-traditional panels and presentations (such as tours, workshops, brief papers, or demonstrations) will be considered.

If you wish to propose a paper or presentation, please submit an abstract (250 words) and a short curriculum vitae to mceas@ccat.sas.upenn.edu. Proposals for panels should include these materials for each participant, as well as a brief description of the overarching concerns of the panel.

The deadline for submissions is 15 September 2018. Applicants can expect to hear back from the conference committee by November 2018. Formal papers will be pre-circulated by September 2019. Some funding is available to offset the costs of travel and lodging for conference participants. Details about this support will be available after submissions are reviewed.

William Rhoads has published a monograph on Colonial Revival architect Charles S. Keefe

Christine R Henry — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 16:10:00 GMT

Charles S. Keefe was an important Colonial Revival architect of the early 20th century specializing in middle-class houses and outbuildings on upper-class estates. His designs received wide publication in professional journals and popular magazines, but since his death in 1946 he has fallen into obscurity. In CHARLES S. KEEFE (1876-1946) COLONIAL REVIVAL ARCHITECT IN KINGSTON AND NEW YORK, William Rhoads, a leading scholar of the Colonial Revival, restores Keefe to his rightful place among tradition-minded architects who were dismayed by the rise of modernism. This richly illustrated volume gives a full and colorful account of Keefe's professional and personal life.

Charles S. Keefe (1876–1946): Colonial Revival Architect in Kingston and New York, by William Bertolet Rhoads, foreword by Richard Guy Wilson, 8ʹ x 10ʹ, 266 pages, 133 illustrations (color and B&W), trade paper: isbn 9781883789893, cloth: isbn 9781883789909

Henry K. Sharp publishes book America’s First Factory Town: the Industrial Revolution in Maryland’s Patapsco River Valley

Christine R Henry — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 16:03:00 GMT

VAF member Henry K. Sharp publishes book on the industrial revolution in Maryland.

Most architectural historians who have addressed the inception and development of the Industrial Revolution in America trace its beginnings to Samuel Slater‘s 1793 cotton-thread mill, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Yet the unsung history of another place, Maryland's Patapsco River Valley, offers an alternate narrative. The Chesapeake region’s transition from tobacco cultivation to wheat brought about a significant regional transformation in architecture. Beginning in the mid-eighteenth century, a generation before Slater’s own ground-breaking accomplishment, large-scale production and international marketing of flour propelled Baltimore from a backwater village to a ramifying city. The most extensive of the merchant milling communities forming an industrial corona around this rapidly urbanizing port was Ellicotts’ Mills, founded by the Quaker Ellicott brothers in 1771. This book highlights the Ellicotts’ story, and situates their prescient conception of a factory town in historical context. In so doing, Dr. Sharp offers us a more complete and nuanced understanding of the architecture of America's industrialization.
