librarychannel@asu.edu (ASU Libraries) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:59:43 +0000

Welcome to our new video series, ASU Libraries Hidden Treasures. Each episode of Hidden Treasures will explore the artifacts, images, collections and unique gems of the ASU Libraries you didn’t even realize were available.

This inaugural episode features anthropology librarian Juliann Couture and Joyce Martin, curator of the Labriola National American Indian Data Center, looking at the Center’s display of unique Hopi Kachina dolls. Four of the kachinas (Navan Kachina; Talavi Kachina; Flute Kachina; and Ahöla Kachina) were created by artist, carver, and former ASU employee Tony Dukepoo as a gift to the libraries in 1979. The kachina dolls are on display in the Labriola Center located on the 2nd floor of the Hayden Library on ASU’s Tempe campus.

We also get a glance at the Center and all the resources available. The Labriola Center is the most comprehensive center for Indigenous research at the university. You can even search the American Indian Index to see the Labriola Center holdings before you come in. So grab a drink, put on your headphones and click play.

The Library Channel is pleased to present the eighth installment of The Simon Ortiz and Labriola Center Lecture on Indigenous Land, Culture, and Community with Tribal Land Claims: A Generation of Federal Indian Law on the Edge. Attorney Arlinda Locklear demonstrates how attorneys for tribes have used the doctrine of discovery or federal common law to assert claims in tribal land claim cases. She lays out the history of the Oneida land claim case against the state of New York beginning in 1784 when the state began an aggressive campaign to acquire Oneida territory leading to the present.

In particular, she is a nationally recognized expert in federal recognition of tribes and Indian land claims. Locklear began her career as an attorney at the Native American Rights Fund in Boulder, CO, and later transferred to the Washington DC office.

Allen Dutton a Retrospective (Podcast)

librarychannel@asu.edu (ASU Libraries) — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 23:25:57 +0000

We welcome back Arizona Historical Foundation Photo Preservationist Rebekah Tabah to discuss the 2011 exhibit “Allen Dutton: A Retrospective” featuring examples from over fifty years of the artist’s work hosted in Allen Dutton Photographic Collection. Host Fred McIlvain takes us on a tour of Dutton’s work including his books, paintings, photo collages, and his life and history in Arizona. Get ready for a discussion unique as the artist himself.

Master photographer, author, sculptor, social critic, painter, poet, educator and philosopher Allen Dutton was born in 1922 in Kingman, Arizona. His grandparents were pioneers who came to the Arizona Territory in the late nineteenth century and his family has been here ever since. After receiving his discharge from the Army in 1946, he went on to study painting and sculpture at the Art Center School in Los Angeles and earned a master’s in history with a minor in art from Arizona State University. At the age of 62, he took early retirement from Phoenix College to devote himself full time to his art. Dutton embarked on a re-photographic survey project that netted two volumes of before and after comparisons published under the titles of Arizona Then and Now and Phoenix Then and Now. This led to his next project, photographing every street corner in every town in Arizona for the benefit of posterity.

Influenced by the cowboy culture of his youth, Dutton created the fictional Rocking A.D. Ranch in southwestern Yavapai County to breed rhinoceros. He wove tales and gave slide illustrated lectures to audiences about the 34 rhinos he kept on the ranch, all of whom were trained for a specific useful task such as cutting cattle.

In addition to landscapes and fictitious rhinos Dutton also photographs nude camera studies. Using people of every shape, size, and age the subjects are sometimes the focal point or often the nude discreetly concealed within a larger landscape. He also has completed a series that takes a humorous look at retired life in Sun City, Arizona.

Leroy Little Bear: Native Science and Western Science (Video)

librarychannel@asu.edu (ASU Libraries) — Mon, 16 May 2011 17:38:56 +0000

The Library Channel is pleased to present the seventh installment of The Simon Ortiz and Labriola Center Lecture on Indigenous Land, Culture, and Community. Leroy Little Bear, Head of the SEED Graduate Institute, former Director of the American Indian Program at Harvard University and Professor Emeritus of Native Studies at the University of Lethbridge delivers his lecture Native Science and Western Science: Possibilities for a Powerful Collaboration.

Professor Little Bear believes now is the time for a collaboration between “Western Science” and “Indigenous Knowledge.” In the lecture he discusses the tenants or foundation of Indigenous thought and compares them to the Western paradigm. It is time to tap Indigenous knowledge as native languages can explain things that are paradoxes in English – such as “dynamics without motion” where Indigenous language explains nature without depending on the other language of math. In another example, Professor Little Bear speaks of how the collaboration of Indigenous thought and string theory could complete the Grand Unified Theory of Physics but it will never happen using the standard model.

Delving even further he discusses the holistic, Native paradigm where everything is in flux (moving, changing) existing in energy waves. The energy waves are referred to as spirit. Everything is animate – so everything has spirit and is related. In that flux there are regular patterns that humans seek out to renew and sustain themselves.

The lecture series is sponsored by the Heard Museum and Arizona State University’s American Indian Policy Institute; American Indian Studies Program; Department of English; Faculty of History in the School of Historical, Philosophical, and Religious Studies; Indian Legal Program in the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law; Labriola National American Indian Data Center and the ASU Libraries; and Women and Gender Studies in the School of Social Transformation.

Curator Jacqueline Chao with featured artists Angela Cazel Jahn and Stephen Marc discuss the Spring 2011 art exhibit Origins at the Institute for Humanities Research running through April 29, 2011 at the ASU Tempe campus.

Download Enhanced Audio Podcast

Angela Cazel Jahn’s piece, “Our Little House of Once Was Knowledge” is featured in the lobby of Hayden Library on the ASU Tempe campus. Her exhibit is a small house structure containing boxes full of bits of what people think are knowledge resting on a foundation of books and other technological artifacts. The exhibit is an interactive experience where visitors add their own concepts of knowledge. “Knowledge is not just what your brain knows.” – Angela Cazel Jahn.

Stephen Marc’s pieces are located in the Institute for Humanities Research on the ASU Tempe campus. The four pieces are digital montages (photographs and documents) of Black Americana up to 1935. Marc describes his work as “an interpretative relocation of, and commentary on the limited representations and accounts of the black experience, into the early years of the 20th Century, that were usually defined from outside the community.” The works include photographs, old newspapers, illustrations, civil war envelopes, postcards, tradecards and narrative plays.

Other Artists include: Ron Broglio, Chris Hables Gray, Nicole Herden, Dodd Holsapple, Mary Hood, Mary Lyverse, Laurie Papa Minnick, Benjamin Phillips, Gwyneth Scally, and Kelsey Vance.

Schwemberger Photographs: An Exhibition (Podcast)

librarychannel@asu.edu (ASU Libraries) — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:00:20 +0000

Over a hundred years ago a Franciscan friar and self-taught photographer, Simeon Schwemberger dramatically captured the life of Catholic clergy, Navajo people, and others in the Southwest.

Curatorial Museum Specialist Karrie Porter Brace, Curator of the Labriola National American Indian Data Center Joyce Martin, and University Archivist Rob Spindler promote Schwemberger Photographs, an exhibition of large format images taken between 1902 and 1909 by Brother Simeon Schwemberger of St Michael’s Mission in northeastern Arizona.

Karrie gives us background on Simeon from his time as a missionary at St Michael’s Mission, to his later life after he left the mission, which is still one of the highest rated Navajo Catholic schools in the southwest. Joyce discusses the natural settings of the images and compares Schwemberger’s photographs to his contemporaries like Edward S. Curtis. Rob explains how ASU received and took curatorial charge over this large collection of glass plate negatives. He also talks about the amazing trip moving 1700 pieces of 100 year old glass from the mission in Window Rock, Arizona to Tempe. We also hear about Katharine Drexel, the United States second canonized saint, who funded the mission.

Download Podcast MP3 Audio

The true story of the Schwemberger Photographs is one of trust and collaboration. The fact that these photos have survived this long and are being preserved and made available here at ASU is really a testament to the beautiful trust relationship built between the Franciscans of St Michaels Mission and the Navajo Nation. – Rob Spindler

The exhibition will be on display in the Labriola National American Indian Data Center (2nd floor) and the Luhrs Gallery (4th floor) of the Hayden Library for the Spring 2011 semester.

Great Illuminated Bibles of 12th-century England (Video)

librarychannel@asu.edu (ASU Libraries) — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 14:00:04 +0000

The Library Channel is proud to present the 2010 Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies Distinguished Lecture in Medieval Studies. The 2010 Distinguished Lecture was offered on October 28th to celebrate donation of the Heritage Edition of the Saint John’s Bible to Arizona State University. This extraordinary and generous donation by ASU Alumnus George Berkner, standing two feet tall and three feet wide, is one of the very few complete handwritten and hand illuminated editions of the Bible to be released in five hundred years.

Arizona State University is the first secular institution of higher education to receive one of only 299 copies of the Heritage Edition. The Distinguished Lecture, entitled The Great Illuminated Bibles of 12th-century England, was presented by Dr. Rodney M. Thomson of the University of Tasmania. Dr. Thomson covers the creation, historic significance and beauty of grand, illuminated (illustrated decorated) Bibles, from a time when expensive materials and the enormous labor made creating them as a single, physical unit a rarity.

Dr. Robert Bjork, Director of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies introduces Dr. Thomson.

However, we’re not the only ones inspired to make videos about Open Access. The Anita Greene Student Working Group of Boston University Libraries made this great video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTvyzp-RwzY

One of the great things about Open Access is that it encourages and supports creativity. It’s not just about access to research, but also about reusing, remixing and mashing material into something new. The Sparky Awards Video Contest is a great way to flex your creative muscles and promote open access at the same time! This contest is for student-created videos that explain why open access to research is important to students. Entries can be submitted solo, or as part of a team, and are due May 26, 2011. There are several award categories, so there’s more than one way to win!

Arizona Historical Foundation Photo Preservationist Rebekah Tabah joins host Fred McIlvain on-location at Hayden Library to discuss the 2010 exhibit ”Dane Coolidge’s Wild Wild West.” This exhibit features historic Arizona photographs taken by scientist, artist, explorer, and author Dane Coolidge. Coolidge, a relative of President Calvin Coolidge, started his career as a biologist hired by the Smithsonian to take pictures of western animals. He fell in love with western people, places and photography and began creating a pictorial history of the southwest. He also authored over forty western novels in addition to his non-fiction works.

The 35 photographs in the exhibit were chosen from 2,000 original 5×7 glass plate negatives dating from 1906 to 1917. The exhibit features his favorite themes: cowboys on the range, cattle and horses, border and mining towns, Pancho Villa and lawmen, prospectors and people of the Old West going about their business. These images were not only chosen for their superior aesthetics but also for the activity, the landscape and the characters that could come out of a movie set. Each image is one of a kind.

The Dane Coolidge Glass Plate Negative Collection is part of project that has been accepted as an Arizona 2012 Centennial Legacy Project. The 2,000 plates will be cleaned, re-housed, scanned, and available for viewing on the Arizona Memory Project website by 2012.

The full exhibit can be viewed on the 4th floor of Hayden Library at Arizona State University on the Tempe campus. The exhibit is open to the public during normal library hours. For more information, a map and directions to AHF visit them at: http://www.ahfweb.org

Digital Antiquity: Transforming Archaeological Data into Knowledge (Podcast)

librarychannel@asu.edu (ASU Libraries) — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 18:58:03 +0000

Are you a researcher with old floppy discs and punch cards? Is your research locked away on outdated software or requires an archaic machine? What happens to our digital data as computer technology changes? Imagine a place to compare data from archeological sites throughout the world, where scholars create and share knowledge of the long-term human past.

In this episode Fred McIlvain and Mimmo Bonanni meet with Dr. Frank McManamon, executive director of Digital Antiquity, and Dr. Keith Kintigh, Associate Director and Professor, School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University. They discuss Digital Antiquity, a new organization developing an on-line repository of archaeological data and documents. This repository dramatically expanding access, data integration and preservation of digital archaeological investigations and ensuring their long term preservation.

We learn about their website, where users can download documents and upload their own. We also hear about tDAR, Digital Antiquity’s repository providing public agencies and other institutions a mechanism to satisfy their legal mandates and professional responsibilities of access and long-term curation. tDAR has the potential to transform the practice of archaeology by enabling analysis and comparison on previously impossible scales.
