In 2012, The Panama Canal Museum (Seminole, FL) closed its doors and donated its entire collection to the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida. Over 15,000 items headed to Gainesville; from canoes to cups, books to busts and everything between. The collection was renamed the Panama Canal Museum Collection (PCMC) and is now managed as an archival collection in Special & Area Studies Collections (SASC). UF received an IMLS grant to manage this transition from museum to archives, creating a model of integration in the process. For three years the PCMC was managed by project staff working in consultation with UF archivists. In 2015 SASC developed a transition plan for managing the collection after the grant, including a processing plan for a sizable unprocessed backlog. One challenge is estimating processing times for artifacts because the archival community does not share information about object processing rates. Another challenge is a highly engaged, high maintenance community of former Canal Zone residents who had donated most of the Museum collection and who are particularly interested in ongoing exhibitions. SASC hired a museum professional to manage these activities and employs interns from the UF Museum Studies program. This is a terrific opportunity for students who might be able to find work in either museum or archives settings after graduation, but it also raises questions about the future of the professions. This session will present challenges and opportunities of this merger between museum and archives, focusing on the very different viewpoints of the museum, library and archives professionals.
Presented as part of this pre-conference workshop.
Digital Humanities Is What You Do With It: Going Beyond Digitization In Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts Section Annual Meeting. Coral Gables, FL. June 21, 2016.
When museums and volunteer-run cultural heritage organizations close, how can academic research libraries support their valuable collection and community stewardship processes? This roundtable discusses the challenges to library conventions and subsequent adoption of museum practices encountered in the case of one museum-library merger. We invited audience members to question and brainstorm along with us about what it means to create a national model of museum-library mergers and advance national dialogues on the subject.
Many libraries are acquiring much more than an individual’s papers. They are also acquiring community-based collections. Community-based collections are those which have been amassed not by one individual but by a collective, which may take the form of a museum, ethnic or cultural organization, or other diaspora group active in the documentation of its past. Often these collections are emotional collections, in that they speak to the community’s heritage and identity. As such, these broad archives are extremely personal to those who collected and, sometimes created, the materials. When libraries work with community based collections, they navigate new territory In working with community-based collections, libraries are navigating new territory in integrating and stewarding these communities as well as more traditionally caring for the physical collection. An ongoing commitment to community engagement, with some level of shared governance or other collaborative activity to build, process, or publicize the collection, is often a key part of acquiring community-based collections.
This training was offered to Smathers Libaries staff as an introduction to the process for conceptualizing and executing exhibits using library collections materials. Topics include the differences between exhibits and displays, the qualities of a successful exhibit, audience engagement, effective label copy, and evaluation processes.

Multigenerational Volunteers: Using Technology to Engage a Diverse DemographicJessica Belcoure Marcetti
Museums commonly employ diverse groups of local volunteers and match them, based on their interests and skills to specific tasks and projects throughout the institution. But can we engage volunteers of varying ages, skills, and geographic locations with the same project? Yes! Using technology, tailored training sessions, and some creativity, it’s possible for retirees and university students to collaborate on the same collections-based project while meeting the individual needs of our volunteers and our collection.
This paper will use a case study of the city of Detroit to examine the relevance of shifting population demographics to museums’ community engagement. In recent years, Detroit has endured substantial changes in its population and, consequently, its culture and identity as a city. The implications of such demographic shifts will be discussed in the context of participatory museum programs, such as DIA Inside|Out, and the ways in which Detroit museums are attempting to understand and engage an ever-evolving audience. The importance of local ethnographies and addressing the unique needs of metamorphosing populations will play a vital role in this discussion.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
