11. George Washington Carver Digital Collection
http://www.lib.iastate.edu/preserv/cdm/gwcarver.html

George Washington Carver was many things to many people: at various
points in his life he was a scholar, teacher, inventor, and student.
From humble roots in southwestern Missouri, Carver went on to wear
many hats. This fine digital collection from the Iowa State University
brings together over 200 photographs, letters, and other items held in
the ISU archives. The majority of the correspondence here is between
Carver and his mentor, Dr. Louis Pammel, and their words cover a wide
variety of topics, including peanuts, scientific experimentation, and
so on. There are many wonderful photos of Carver, including his
graduation photo from 1893, taken the year before he formally
graduated from the Iowa Agricultural College. Visitors who might be
less familiar with the contours of Carver life may also wish to read
the narrative essay on his life by Toby Fishbein. [KMG]

Subject: Job Opening at Alabama Heritage--Please pass the word.



Dear friends and colleagues:



Last week we posted a job opening for a full-time, salaried “Digital
Media Editor,” who can take Alabama Heritage into new online and
digital territory. We will be posting ads in the state’s newspapers,
but I felt that you all might have a better chance of getting the word
to the best candidates. The person does not have to be a history
expert, but enjoying history is a plus. More importantly, I need a
great left-brain-right-brain blend--someone who can figure out the
technical side of things (or negotiate with others to help), while
making online presentations attractive. The person needs to be able to
write and edit, with a marketing orientation. A bachelor’s degree in a
related field is required.



If you would spread it to your circles, I would appreciate it. Please
ask them to apply to the UA job site (jobs.ua.edu), rather than
directly to me. The job is posted under the burdensome and off-putting
official university title of “IT Technical Assistant II,” but the
title the magazine will use is “Digital Media Editor.” Please tell
candidates not to be intimidated by the techno-language of the online
job ad. We only have control of the “department-specific requirements”
language in that system.



Here is the newspaper ad—with much more detail available in the online posting:



Digital Media Editor

Alabama Heritage magazine seeks creative, technically skilled editor
for development of digital and online assets.
Tuscaloosa/Northport-based.  Apply online at http://jobs.ua.edu (see
IT Technical Specialist II—Req 006888) by 7/9/12. EOE/AA.



Thanks,

Donna Baker

Greetings:

The Awards Committee of the Society of Alabama Archivists calls for
nominations for the Marvin Yeomans Whiting Award. Named for Marvin
Whiting, the Birmingham Public Library's first archivist and a pioneer
in the professionalization of archives in Alabama, this award recognizes
individuals, organizations or institutions that have made a significant
contribution to the preservation and dissemination of local history in
Alabama. The award recognizes the preservation of historic documents and
oral history but not buildings, historic sites or artifacts. The
Birmingham Public Library co-sponsors the award.

The deadline for nominations is August 15, 2012 and the award will be
presented at the Society of Alabama Archivists' annual meeting at the
Alabama Department of Archives and History on September 28, 2012.

  Rising Up: Hale Woodruff's Murals from Talladega College
http://www.high.org/Art/Exhibitions/Rising-Up-Hale-Woodruff.aspx

In 1938, Talladega College commissioned Hale Woodruff, an African-American
muralist, to  paint six murals that were installed in the Savery Library on
campus, where they remained for more than 70 years. In 2011, the murals were
removed from the walls of the Library as part of a collaborative project
between Talladega College and the High Museum to conserve the murals, which
are on display at the Museum until September 2012. At the website, visitors
can not only see images of conservators literally peeling the murals off the
library walls, but also examine digital versions of the artwork. For
example, zoom in on the Portrait of Cinqué, one of the leaders of the
Amistad rebellion, to see biographical information, or follow another link
to see a comparison of the figure of a dead mutineer with Géricault's "The
Raft of the Medusa," an art historical icon with which Woodruff would have
been familiar. Other murals in the series are:  The Trial of the Amistad
Captives, The Repatriation of the Freed Captives, The Underground Railroad,
Opening Day at Talladega College, and The Building of Savery Library. [DS]
