Dear FAM Colleagues,

The Maitland Historical Society and Museums is putting on a small fashion exhibit from April through June. Would you be willing to loan items from your collection? We have a secure, environmentally controlled location. Specifically, we are looking for a mini dress from the 60s for our hemline section, women's shoes from the 20s - 70s, undergarments from the 40s - 60s, and jewelry/watches from the Victorian era through the 1970s. We are also looking for additional dress forms, hand forms, and hat stands if you are in the Central Florida area. Thank you for your help and consideration.

Sincerely,
Andrea Bailey Cox
Executive Director
Maitland Historical Society and Museums

Hello FAM Colleagues:
The Henry B. Plant Museum is planning for our Annual Victorian Christmas Stroll. This year we will highlight vintage fashions from the Tampa Bay Hotel time period 1891-1932. We are in need of some flexible (petite size) mannequins. Does anyone have any extras we could borrow? or sources? or suggestions?
Thank you,
Susan Carter, Curator/Registrar

Professionals from museums, libraries, archives, and historic and archaeological collections are planning a statewide assessment of Florida'’s collections and developing strategies to educate legislators and public officials about their responsibility to preserve and conserve Florida’'s collections.

 This is your opportunity to help plan the assessment. Come help shape this important initiative!

Forum 2 – February 26, 2009 at DeBary Hall (between Orlando and Daytona Beach)

Forum 3 – March 23, 2009 at Goodwood Museum & Gardens in Tallahassee

Each Forum is followed by a reception for area legislators. The Forum is free, but registration is required.

There is an unpublished manuscript "Florida's Ghost Railroads" that might be useful. I have a copy in storage.

Hi Angela, While I don't think we have any artifacts that relate to South FL Railroad, just wanted to thank you for using the message board. I think it's a great opportunity for us all to stay in contact - pass on the contact info to every history person you can think of as I'm sure my email list doesn't include everyone (it's ever-changing).

Let me know how you are...

The Maitland Historical Society is opening Destination Maitland in September. This exhibit will be an interactive experience, which highlights the importance of the railroad to this area with major themes including communication, passenger travel, and agriculture. We are currently looking for items to borrow from other institutions. We are particularly interested in anything that has to do with the South Florida Railroad, but we are also looking for general artifacts. Please contact me if you might be able to help us out! acox@maitlandhistory.org 407-644-2451
Hope to see many of you at FAM in Miami!

St. Augustine Lighthouse and the Lighthouse Archaeology Maritime Program are currently hosting our Second Annual Symposium on Maritime Archaeology with partners at the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Estuarine Research Reserve and the Florida Public Archaeology Network.

Today is the third day of research papers presented from scholars from across the United States. Yesterday a field workshop involved teaching students and members of the public how to record an ship's anchor using proper archaeological methods. Many students have attended from the University of West Florida and Florida State University.

Keynote Speaker, Dave Moore from North Carolina will repeat his presentation about Blackbeard's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge this weekend. His talk is entitled "Ten Year's of Pirate Perspective" and will be given at the St. Augustine Lighthouse Maritime Festival on site on Saturday, March 15, 2008. For more information check our web site at www.staugustinelighthouse.org or .com.

I am so very proud that this is working. I have been so busy with the legislative stuff and writing the 2nd IMLS (with Myriam) that I haven't checked the site lately and wasn't I totally blown away with all of your comments.

Thank you Holly for making sure we got this up and running.

Marianne - talk with Linda Deaton at the Tallahassee Museum - ldeaton@tallahasseemuseum.org about what she has for turpentine collections - they have a commissary on property and she may have items - not sure.

Thanks guys for making this a reality.

And hold on to your hats - the cuts are hitting hard.
