As it does so it considers two questions central to Riis and those that came after him: what is the purpose of documenting people’s lives and how does the answer to this question change documentary practice? \nMatt Basso is an Associate Professor of History and Gender Studies at the University of Utah.  His research interests include the theory and history of masculinity\, labor and working-class history\, the history of old age\, the history of race and ethnicity\, the relationship of the military to society\, U.S. Western history\, the history of Pacific settler societies\, and transnational history.  He offers courses that grapple with all of these subjects.  He is the author or editor of four books including Meet Joe Copper: Masculinity and Race on Montana’s World War II Home Front (University of Chicago Press\, May 2013)\, winner of the Philip Taft Labor History Book Award and the American Historical Association’s Pacific Coast Branch Book Award\, and Men at Work: Rediscovering Depression-Era Stories from the Federal Writers’ Project (University of Utah Press\, 2012). Basso is a Distinguished Lecturer for the Organization of American Historians and the recipient of the University of Utah Distinguished Teaching Award\, Graduate and Postdoctoral Mentor Award\, Public Service Professorship\, and Honors-Humanities Professorship. He is working on a new history of the World War II home front for the National Park Service and finishing a book on New Zealand history between 1890 and 1940. \nJacob Riis (1849–1914) was a pioneering newspaper reporter and social reformer in New York at the turn of the twentieth century. His then-novel idea of using photographs of the city’s slums to illustrate the plight of impoverished residents established Riis as forerunner of modern photojournalism. Jacob A. Riis: How the Other Half Lives exhibition features photographs by Riis and his contemporaries\, as well as his handwritten journals and personal correspondence. Jacob A. Riis: How the Other Half Lives opens November 10\, 2020 at The Park City Museum. \nThe exhibition is made possible by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Jacob A. Riis: How the Other Half Lives is adapted from the exhibition Jacob A. Riis: Revealing New York’s Other Half\, organized by the Museum of the City of New York. The exhibition was curated by Bonnie Yochelson and co-presented by the Library of Congress. It was made possible with major grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Terra Foundation for American Arts\, as well as support from D. Euan and Merete Baird\, The Malkin Fund\, Ronay and Richard L. Menschel\, Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrick’s Foundation\, C. Flemming and Judy Heilmann\, Kan and Lotte Leschly\, The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation\, and the John L. Loeb Jr. Foundation. It was adapted and toured for NEH on the Road by Mid-America Arts Alliance. \n  \n\n\n1-I-Scrubs-Little-Katie-from-the-West-52nd-Street-Industrial-School-1891-1892-Collection-MCNY-scaled.jpg\n\n\n\nRegister for this lecture\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/jacob-riis-zoom-lecture-given-by-matthew-basso/ CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/1-I-Scrubs-Little-Katie-from-the-West-52nd-Street-Industrial-School-1891-1892-Collection-MCNY-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20201206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20201206T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T154311 CREATED:20201116T225335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201116T225335Z UID:10000406-1607252400-1607274000@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Museum Free Day!

He inspects the structures\, measures them and draws plans for effective construction projects to ensure their long term stability. He is joined by Clark Martinez\, 4th generation Park City Miner who owns Xcavation Company\, widely known for their expertise in closing\, stabilizing and reclaiming mine sites in Utah and throughout the West. Since most of Clark’s reclamation work is done in the fall\, winter and spring\, he is available to help us here in Park City in the short snow-free months of the summer. Clark and JR work hand-in-glove to share their expertise and they collaborate closely to produce miracles of restoration and stabilization of our old mining era structures. Our stabilization successes to date have been the King Con Counterweight\, Jupiter Ore Bin\, Little Bell Ore Bin\, California Comstock Mill and Thaynes Conveyor. Next summer they will be working on the King Con Ore Bin. JR and Clark will discuss their methods and challenges they faced in saving these mining structures. \n  \nIf you have any questions\, please contact the Park City Museum at 435-649-7457.    \n  \nRegister for this lecture\n\n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ \n \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/saving-the-mining-structures-lecture-given-by-friends-of-ski-mountain-mining-history/ CATEGORIES:Lectures,Mining ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Page-5B-California-Comstock-as-of-Oct-17-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20201204T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20201204T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T154311 CREATED:20201116T224319Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201116T224319Z UID:10000432-1607079600-1607101200@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Museum Free Day!

We will explore the numerous ways women insured the success of trappers and traders\, helping to open the continent for European settlement. \nKnown as The Sharp Knife Woman\, Kris Swanson is a Living Historian who spends her days interacting with the public at museums\, historic sites and cultural events\, teaching them about Plains Indian history and lifestyle.  She does public presentations and displays\, sets and costumes for films\, and works with Western artists.  Her reputation as an artist has been earned over many years making and using authentic and fully functional objects.  She has spent 24 years living in her tipi in the mountains\, attended hundreds of private and public living history events\, and has developed a wide following. \nAs one of the only women living historians\, her interpretation from a woman’s perspective is insightful and balanced.  Kris holds BAs in History and Communication and an MA in Communication.  She has dedicated her life to learning about Plains Indians during the 19th century.  Kris’ goal is to represent accurately the lifestyle Plains Indians lived during the 1800s through displays\, presentations\, and hands on learning.  Kris has written a book called Portraits of Women in the American Fur Trade and it is the first book to focus on the significant impact Indian women played in the success of trading forts and activities in the Western US well into the 1870s. The book gives readers a clear overview of the role of Indian women in the fur trade\, beginning with the formation of Hudson Bay Company in 1670\, until the decline of the buffalo robe trade on the Plains. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Diane at education@parkcityhistory.org.

Young and old lived crowded together in hastily built camps\, endured poor living conditions\, and were under the constant watch of military guards for two and a half years. Meanwhile\, brave Japanese American men risked their lives fighting for the United States. Some 40 years later\, members of the Japanese American community led the nation to confront the wrong it had done—and urged Congress to make it right.  The exhibit will be on display at Park City Museum from July through October 4th. \n  \nRighting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and World War II was developed by the National Museum of American History and adapted for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. The national tour received Federal support from the Asian Pacific American Initiatives Pool\, administered by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center\, the Terasaki Family Foundation\, and C. L. Ehn & Ginger Lew. \n  \nQuestions?  Please contact Diane Knispel at the Park City Museum at education@parkcityhistory.org. \n  URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/topaz-internment-camp-zoom-lecture-given-by-rick-okabe/ CATEGORIES:Lectures,Mining ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/G0141-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200701 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200804 DTSTAMP:20260403T154311 CREATED:20200422T213819Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200422T213819Z UID:10000318-1593561600-1596499199@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:History Speaks Lecture: "Agriculture in Park City" is NOW ONLINE DESCRIPTION:Join our FIRST Online Lecture – “Agriculture In Park City” \nOur popular “History Speaks” Lecture Series is back!

Online Lecture DESCRIPTION:Mining has shaped the State of Utah geographically\, demographically\, and economically. Thousands of old mines can still be found in Utah’s mountains and canyons\, especially in the mountains surrounding Park City. Along with the stories of those who worked and lived there\, they bear witness to the hard work and resourcefulness of Utah miners and their families. \nFor a long time\, however\, the physical remains of mine surface plants\, mills\, and mine camps were treated as scrap metal\, depressed real estate\, and dangerous hazards rather than something worth saving or studying. As a result\, much of Utah’s mining heritage has been lost — and much of what remains is endangered. Success stories show how historic properties can be economic assets and provide important information about history. Creative approaches can balance preservation with reclamation and development to save headframes\, mine buildings\, and mining towns for future generations. \nJoin Dr. Seth Button\, archaeologist for the Utah Division of Oil\, Gas\, and Mines to for this online Zoom presentation.

At a ceremony at Promontory Summit on May 10\, 1869\, the Union and Central Pacific Railroads joined and a solid gold railroad spike became the symbol for the completion of the railroad. What many people don’t know is that Utahns played a major role with the transcontinental railroad through investment\, surveying\, and labor. In turn\, the railroad brought significant cultural\, economic\, and environmental changes to the state. Utah became more connected to the rest of the nation. Eastern goods could be shipped quickly and cheaply to Utah\, and Utah could send products all over the country. The railroad also brought people of different religious faiths to the state and made it a more diverse place to live. \nDaniel Davis grew up in Worland\, Wyoming and attended the University of Wyoming earning a master’s degree in history in 1997. He worked as the photograph archivist at the American Heritage Center from 1996 to 2000. In 2000 he moved to Logan becoming the photograph curator with the Special Collections & Archives Department at Utah State University. He received tenure as an associate librarian in 2006. In 2014 he became the coordinator of instruction for Special Collections. His research interest is with 19th Century photographers of the American West and he has published in the Utah Historical Quarterly and the Annals of Wyoming. He lives with his wife Ashlee and daughter Emilee in Nibley\, Utah. \nPark City Museum will host A World Transformed: The Transcontinental Railroad and Utah exhibition created by The Merrill-Cazier Library  at Utah State University and the Utah Division of State History to celebrate the sesquicentennial of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad.   The exhibit will be on display from February 10th to March 15th. \n  \n  URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/the-transcontinental-railroad-in-utah-lecture-given-by-daniel-davis/ CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/1984-1-6.gif END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
