What makes the work work: a note about trying things and writing them down.

Leave a comment

This post is about two important elements of archival practice: trying things and writing them down

Writing things down is, unsurprisingly, an important part of archival work. The one thing all archives have in common is that no two are alike: archives collect unique materials, and every archive has its own set of collecting, preservation, and access concerns and priorities, which they address from within a broadly uniform theoretical framework. What that means is that, while we use certain tools (both intellectual and technological) and follow certain professional standards and practices, how we enact and apply them varies from place to place. And what that means is that trying things and writing them down is a crucial part of working in an archive, and that’s true whether it’s a community archive preserving the history of a local theater, a university or government archive collecting public records, or a corporate archive maintaining design and manufacturing specifications.

One example of trying things and writing them down as archival practice here at SCUA is how we catalog artifacts. To keep track of these three-dimensional objects (we have a lot of buttons), we use a software called Past Perfect, which was developed for use in museums. It lets us create records for artifacts, attach pictures, track where they are in our storage (or on display in an exhibit, out for preservation, etc), and export inventories– like the searchable PDF catalog on our website. There’s a manual for the software which details how to input information, how to save records, etc– basic software functions– but what it doesn’t, and can’t, tell us is how we want to use the software. Since Past Perfect was designed to support a broad range of institutions, it has a lot more options and features than we even need, and the interface can be pretty overwhelming, which was only part of the problem. The issue we found was that not enough of the artifacts in our collection had records, and the records were inconsistent, mostly because the existing instructions for cataloging artifacts weren’t very thorough and there wasn’t a clear workflow to follow.

How do we decide which fields are important for our artifacts, what kind of language to use in the descriptions, and what the standard cataloging procedure should be? That’s where trying things comes in. In order to develop a SCUA-specific manual for creating artifact records with Past Perfect, we had to take a look at what kind of records had been made before, what kind of artifacts we had, and what we thought was important to capture: most of all, though, we had to try cataloging artifacts. Every time we made a decision– enter the date of creation like this, use this term first to describe this kind of object– we wrote it down. Every time we took an action, we wrote it down. Eventually, we had a list of steps and directions for using Past Perfect to create the kind of records we want to have for the kind of objects SCUA holds. And then the testing began… There’s a manual now, with screenshots, that lays out the process so that anyone can do it and get the expected result.

This came up as a part of a larger project reviewing how we handle artifacts. Examining the artifact catalog, it became obvious that the existing procedures hadn’t been working and we needed a new approach. This is fairly common in an archive: a task becomes a bottleneck, or a procedure hasn’t been kept up to date, and creates a problem that needs to be solved inside the archive’s existing systems. Changing our approach is often a lot easier than acquiring (and training on, and migrating information to) a new tool for doing it. In this case, we already had Past Perfect, and Past Perfect was designed for the job, it just wasn’t being used consistently and to its potential. Fully documenting the workflow, the expected outcome, and our decision-making process in a manual solved the problem (not enough artifacts had records, and the records weren’t consistent) and also created a means to update that manual as needed.

We tried some things, and once we had tried enough things, we wrote them down, and now there’s a resource that anyone in the department, from a student worker to the next University Archivist, can pick up and use– or change, if it needs to be changed.

All this contributes to the life of the archive, both in shaping how materials are handled and made available, and becoming a record of how the people who work here do their work, what they’re passionate about, what they’ve changed and why. It’s the sort of work that supports all the rest of the work we do, not just now but for years to come. Which, given that our job is to preserve, make available, and store materials in the holdings for future generations, is sort of important.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Leave a comment

St. Patrick’s Day was historically a special day at Iowa State. Why, you may ask? Well, St. Patrick is the patron saint of engineers! He earned this honor by “teaching the Irish to build arches of lime mortar instead of dry masonry” (Engineers Ireland).

The first St. Patrick’s Day celebration at Iowa State was held March 17, 1910.  Beginning at 8:30 in the morning, members of the Civil Engineering Society paraded around the campus, wearing tall top hats and pushing their flag bearer in a wheelbarrow.  The group paused for a program of songs and speeches on the steps of Beardshear Hall.  They then proceeded to downtown Ames, where they were addressed by Mayor Parley Sheldon.  In the afternoon, the Civil Engineering juniors played baseball against the seniors—the seniors won, 13-10.  Roller skating and a banquet brought the day to a close.

University Photos, Box 1658

Though St. Patrick’s Day began as a day of entertainment, by 1913, it was also serving the function of an open house for the Engineering Division.  Each department had a display.  Outstanding senior engineers were inducted into the Knights of the Order of the Guard of St. Patrick, an engineering honorary.  The inductees were “knighted” with a slide rule, by the “Engineer’s Lady” who had been selected by a student vote at the Engineer’s Campfire during fall semester.  St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated from 1910 until 1921.  The Knighting of the Guard of St. Patrick was incorporated into the VEISHEA ceremonies from 1922 to 1926 and then the ceremony was added to the Engineer’s Campfire festivities.

Everyone have a fun and safe St. Patrick’s Day, especially our friends in engineering!

CoEducation at Iowa State University

Leave a comment

Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm, now Iowa State University, was officially established by the Iowa General Assembly on March 22, 1858, but classes were not held until 1869. In 1868 the Board of Trustees began touring the United States and visiting Agricultural Universities and Colleges on observe how they were organized, the course of instruction, and rules and regulations governing them. They also toured a number of institutes that had been coeducational since their inception as they weighed the option in making the new college coeducational. 

Board of Regents Minutes, Volume 1, Page 246 (RS 1/8, Board of Regents Minutes)

Paragraph 2 Transcription

We also visited Antioch College at Yellow Springs, Ohio, one of the best and most successful Colleges in the country, in which girls have been admitted from the time of its organization. The plan has given the most entire satisfaction, and many of the young ladies stand at the head of the regular college classes.

The Board concluded that it would be beneficial to all that women be admitted to the College, pending they meet admissions standards, for the first session, which was slated for March of 1869.  All Board members were also in agreement that they had no grounds not to admit women to the new college, as funding of the college came from state tax-payer monies.

Board of Regents Minutes, Volume 1, Page 248 (RS 1/8, Board of Regents Minutes)

Paragraph 2 Transcription

Again – we hold that we as Trustees have no right to exclude girls from the benefits of our State Agricultural College. The funds for the purchase of the Farm, and the erection of buildings , are derived from the tax-payers of the state and upon what principle of justice can we declare that only those who have sons shall enjoy its benefit. The general government has appropriated a vast tract of the public domain for the endowment and support of these industrial institutes, and what right have we to exclude the girls and young women of our state from any share in its beneficiaries

The two days following the opening of the college, applicants for admission were given exams in local geography, arithmetic, English grammar, and reading and spelling.  Those who proved proficient were enrolled in classes, while those who fell below the required standard but were deemed sufficient with a year of study were entered into the preparatory department. The first semester saw 93 students enrolled as freshmen and 80 in the preparatory department. Of those 173 students 16 women were admitted to the freshmen class, and 21 to the preparatory department.

The Iowa State Agricultural College held its first commencement on November 13, 1872. Out of the original 93 students enrolled, only 26 graduated. Two of those were Fannie H. Richards and Mattie A. Locke, the first female graduates of Iowa State University.

#FlashbackFriday – Portraits in the Snow (1969)

Leave a comment

While clicking through book two of the 1969 Bomb, I found a few sorority portraits that made good use of the snow. Check out these snowy group portraits from the 1969 Alpha Gamma Delta, and Delta Zeta sororities.

  • Black and white group photo of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. Roughly 22 students are posing in the snow, many of them smiling at the camera. All are dressed in winter clothing. There are three students sitting in the trees in the background of the photo.

  • Black and white photograph of the Delta Zeta sorority. The background is barren trees with snow on the ground. The foreground shows roughly 20 students sitting on the hoods of three different cars. The students are waving at the camera. Several students are wearing cowboy hats. There are tire tracks in the snow around them.

A Brief History on Cultural Centers at ISU

Leave a comment

“A Home Away From Home: The George A. Jackson Black Cultural Center” exhibition, curated by University Archivist Greg Bailey, opens this week. In 2020, the Black Cultural Center (BCC) celebrated its 50th anniversary. The exhibition starts in the exhibit case on the first floor of Parks Library, near the Main Desk. Then the rest of the exhibition is on the 4th floor, en route to our reading room (403 Parks Library).

  • Lots of smoothing and adjusting to get it just right (photo by Daniel Hartwig).

Visit this article for more information on this exhibition and the history of the BCC.

There have been other student centers on campus for underrepresented and underserved communities. Some of them are still going strong today, such as the Margaret Sloss Center for Women and Gender Equity and the Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success, and others were not sustained.

Margaret Sloss Center for Women and Gender Equity

The Margaret Sloss Women’s Center was established in 1981 to provide a centralized home for women’s organizations and to promote and sustain women through advocacy, programs, and information and referral services. The work to create a women’s center at ISU began in 1973.

A Proposal for the Creation of a Women’s Center

If you look closely very lightly underneath the typewritten word “Center” is handwritten note that is faded due to photocopying, “Aug ’73.”

From the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center records, RS 3/6/3, Box 1, Folder 7, Iowa State University Library Special Collections and University Archives.

Introduction A small group of women from Iowa State University has been meeting on a regular basis for the purpose of developing plans for a coordinated omnibus effort geared to meet the needs of women in our society. Each of us has brought to the group ideas and concepts based on our different areas of expertise, but all motivated by a similar desire to lend our talents toward the development of women's potential. We recommend the establishment and support of a Women's Center at Iowa State University (hereinafter referred to as "Options Unlimited: A Center for Women's Development") whose purpose would be to serve the diverse need of the women of Iowa. Initial plans for the development, organization and administration of such a Center are attached herein. We recognize and appreciate the interest, support, and contributions of the following persons within the Iowa State University community: Julia Anderson, Eugene Clubine, Richard Hasbrook, Edwin Lewis, Warren Madden, C. Arthur Sandeen, Roy Warman, and representatives from several of the women's organizations. Submitted by: Marita A. Jones, Chairperson; Ellen Betz, Nancy Cook Cherry -Ac (undecipherable word), Kay Holmberg, Shirley Karas, Barbara Mathias, Phyllis Miller, Donna Nelson -CD, Jean Palmer.
From the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center records, RS 3/6/3, Box 1, Folder 7, Iowa State University Library Special Collections and University Archives.

In January 2019, the Center changed their name to the Margaret Sloss Center for Women and Gender Equity to better represent the work and mission of the center. Visit the website for more information. Margaret Sloss was the first woman to earn a doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at ISU. She was known for both her professional achievements and also her work to include and support other women in her field.

We have very little information currently on the rest of the cultural centers in this post, but we would like to have more. If you have additional materials from your time here at ISU or know more about these organizations, please reach out to us at archives@iastate.edu.

Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success

In 2018, SCUA was invited to collaborate with the Center and host an event for their Out & About: Community through Adventure program. This program took students to interesting spots on or around campus, with the goal of connecting LGBTQIA+ students to one other and also with different university departments. The Center’s staff did the research for what archival materials we would use for the visit and brought a few items from the Center’s own records.

Latin American Student Union

Cultural Dance Given by LASU The first annual Cultural Dance sponsored by the Latin American Student Union will be held Saturday, May 1, at the Holiday Inn, Ames. Music for the dance will be provided by "Los Cuatros Reyes," a Spanish-American band from Davenport, Iowa, beginning at 9:00 p.m. Admission for the dance is $1.00 and a cash bar will be available during the event. The Latin American Student Union (LASU) is one of the newest student organizations at Iowa State. The group provides a focal point for awareness of Spanish-American culture at ISU and serves as an identity group for the Spanish-American students. Among its projects for next year, LASU is planning its first conference on Spanish-American issues, the Second Annual Christmas Food Collection for Ames area families, and other social activities for the group. LASU is also building a Spanish-American resource library for use by interested students and has speakers available for campus and community groups. LASU's office for next year will be located in Room 36 of the Memorial Union. Persons interested in the group's activities this year may contact LASU at Room 35 of the Union 9UNASA office), or call David Cuevas, president, at 294-6173.

This news clipping from the Iowa State Daily May 12, 1976, offers information on the purpose of the LASU and also upcoming events for its first year.

Hispanic American Student Union

HASU hosts 10th annual symposium next week By Karna Johnson Daily Staff Writer The Hispanic American Student Union (HASU) will host its 10th Annual Hispanic Symposium from Feb. 26 to March 2. Melissa Landrau, president of HASU, said the theme of this year’s symposium deals with United States politics and Hispanic America. She said the theme was chosen because of interest in Puerto Rico. “Last year the theme was technology and we brought in engineers and engineering speakers,” Landru said. “But this year I expect a lot more people, especially when we talk about Puerto Rico and whether or not it should become a state.” On Feb. 26 a forum of three speakers from Puerto Rico will discuss this topic in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Each speaker will present the options Puerto Rico has for the future, Landrau said. Landrau said she hopes students will attend. “I do hope a lot more people will come this year than last year, because of the topics and the interest in what’s happening in Central America.” New Mexico’s Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron will speak on Thursday in room 171 of the Durham Center on the involvement of Hispanic women in United States politics. Landra said Vigil-Giron is a great leader and a great role model for women. The Symposium will end with its traditional dance on Friday. The dance will begin at 7 p.m. and will be held at the University Lutheran Church. There will be a $2 cover charge.

Asian American Cultural Center

Iowa State Asian Cultural Center celebrates its grand opening by Archana Chandrupatla Daily Staff Writer The first Asian Cultural Center at Iowa State opened its doors Monday. The creation of the center rests on the underlying principle of promoting racial diversity -- not creating racial separatism. Teresa Thomas, former president of Asian Pacific American Awareness Coalition, said the AACC will be a place where all ethnicities are welcome to be educated, informed and enriched. Thomas said the process of creating the AACC has been long and hard. "We had started this process last January, and we had hoped it would be completed by the first-annual Asian heritage week last spring, but it had been postponed by the administration for a while," Rafael Rodriguez, director for Minority Student Affairs, said. Veng Lee, current president of APACC, said putting the center together has been a lot of hard work. "It all started one year ago, and the university was a little slow to respond to the idea, so it was put on the back burner for awhile," Lee said. "But now that we have it, we are glad we do, and we expect to use the place to the fullest, because we put [in] a lot of hard work and effort and through a lot to get it." Bao Thao, advisor for APAAC and Laos Taidam Student Assocation, said Veng and Grif Kolberg, interim president and vice president for APAAC, did a lot to help move the project along. A ceremony was held with introductions by Mai Ung, center representative for APAAC, and a welcome speech by Rodriguez. Also, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to commemorate the opening. Thao said the turnout for the opening ceremony was "pretty good." The turnout was at about 50 people," Thao said. "And given the fact that the location is just two dorm rooms put together, that's pretty good.: The center is actually a joint venture by APAAC, LTSA and the Vietnamese Student Association. However, APAAC was at the foregront of the process of putting it together. "Our go-between was actually APAAC," Lang Tran, president of VSA, said. "If it hadn't been for APAAC, none of this could have happened." The presidents of the three organizations are optimistic about the center's future and its ability to serve its purposes. "It is a place to have common ground with other organizations. It is a great place to get everyone together in a central location," Hoang said. Tran agreed with Hoang. "It is a great achievement for Asian Americans on campus," Tran said. "I would encourage everyone to attend. It is a place of learning about Asian culture, and we hope students of all races and places will utilize it." "I feel very optimistic about the center because it provides a central place where Asian Americans can meet, and it provides a resource where anyone can learn about Asian and Asian American culture and history," Thao said. "I want to stress that the university is working hard toward promoting diversity on this campus, and this is a big step toward achieving that." Not only will students get to look at the displays of Asian art and artifacts, but there are also fun activities planned as well. "The first activity will be the art of an Asian Culture Film Series. The first movie will be Thursday, Oct. 16. at 7 p.m. in the cultural center," Thao said. The center is open to all students and is located at 1501 Helser Hall. If students would like to use this facility, they should contact Thao at 294-6338.
