Goldwater.

In this episode Fred McIlvain talks with Arizona Historical Foundation archivists Linda Whitaker, Susan Irvin and Rebekah Tabah on the debut of the Personal and Political Papers of Senator Barry M. Goldwater after 5 years of heavy lifting (literally and figuratively) processing the collection.

When Barry Goldwater founded the Arizona Historical Foundation nearly 50 years ago, the last thing he would have expected is to find his papers in disarray. It is the ultimate irony, that a man who saved everything for posterity, would leave a collection requiring tough interventions so that it could be fully processed and cataloged. For all practical purposes this collection had remained largely unprocessed and hidden confounding researchers worldwide.

• 1180 linear feet (970 boxes)
• 8,000 un-mounted photographs, 1,500 negatives, 5,000 slides, 110 photo albums

Ann talks about her continued work to promote and educate the public, especially lawmakers, on the value of teacher-librarians in K-12 schools. Ann is a founding member of Fund Our Future Arizona which was originally organized in response to the proposal by Mesa Public School District to eliminate all certified teacher-librarian positions in the district, replacing them with lower qualified resource center specialists who would manage the library space and collections. Their well publicized initiative ultimately failed as the Mesa Public School District chose to continue with their planned budget reduction, but group’s goal to “to create strong school libraries for every child in the state” continues.

The historic “name change” drive, a singular moment in the university’s and state’s history, transformed Arizona State College into Arizona State University through an unprecedented statewide referendum that was approved by Arizona citizens in the general election of November 4th, 1958.

In this first episode, we are joined by former editor of the State Press and former director of the Alumni Association Don Dotts and University Archivist Rob Spindler to set the scene and illustrate Arizona State College and student life in 1958. Don will also talk about the students’ support of the initiative process, their march on the capitol, the roll of the State Press, opposition to the process and much, much more.

To honor this heritage, and the vast progress that has been made in the last half century, ASU will be celebrating throughout the year at a variety of events. The university as a whole will also look back and reflect on that special moment in 1958 and what it means for the university in 2008.

 Don Dotts and Rob Spindler

]]> http://lib.asu.edu/librarychannel/2008/08/28/ep79_asu50dondotts/feed/ 0 The Library Channel helps celebrate the 50th anniversary of Arizona State University with a new series of podcasts this fall. The historic “name change” drive, a singular moment in the university’s and state’s history, transformed Arizona State College into Arizona State University through an unprecedented statewide referendum that was approved by Arizona citizens in the general election of November 4th, 1958. In this first episode, we are joined by former editor of the State Press and former director of the Alumni Association Don Dotts and University Archivist Rob Spindler to set the scene and illustrate Arizona State College and student life in 1958. Don will also talk about the students’ support of the initiative process, their march on the capitol, the roll of the State Press, opposition to the process and much, much more. Download Episode(MP3 Audio) To honor this heritage, and the vast progress that has been made in the last half century, ASU will be celebrating throughout the year at a variety of events. The university as a whole will also look back and reflect on that special moment in 1958 and what it means for the university in 2008.
