Notes de l'éditeur
- What is a Legacy Project, and why is the designation important? Thanks to Dr. Noel Stowe of ASU. You will be hearing more about two Legacy Projects, the Arizona Memory Project from Ann-Mary, and Why Arizona? From Rob, later in this session, as well as some museum-based examples that I will be describing. Here are some benefits of doing a Legacy Project.
- There are currently 63 approved Legacy Projects, but there are nine more that have been recommended for approval by the Programs Committee, and are awaiting official action by AHAC. They break down into roughly five categories.
- Almost a third of the projects are statewide, meaning they are available electronically, or they are scheduled to appear at sites around the state. The Valley has the largest number of projects, but the outlying areas are also well represented. There are currently projects in almost half of Arizona’s fifteen counties.
- Legacy Projects can vary in size and scope, from the very small, to statewide. Regional projects expand the topics to include waterways, preservation areas and cultural entities.
- These are the thirteen Legacy Projects I’ve identified as being conducted by museums, or they perform the role of museums, in that they make history accessible to the public.. A A complete listing of the Legacy Projects is available on the Centennial Web sites, and I’ll give you those addresses in a few minutes.
- I will also give you more details about several of them, beginning with the Arizona State Railroad Museum in Williams.
- ARIZONA STATE RAILROAD MUSEUM Slated for a beautiful 16-acre park in Williams, a 106,500 square-foot museum will memorialize the 76 railroads that once criss-crossed Arizona by featuring railroad engine houses and shops, interpretive exhibits, archives, an art gallery, meeting rooms, interactive computer facilities, a 500 seat auditorium and an outdoor amphitheatre.

- According to oral tradition, the Hohokam may be the ancestors of today’s Akimel O’odham and Tohono O’odham peoples of southern Arizona. During the 1,450 years the Hohokam culture existed in the Sonoran desert (from 1 A. D. to 1450), they occupied many settlements in the Gila and Salt River valleys of southern Arizona.They built rectangular pit houses from earth, and lived in small villages. Although the Hohokam relied a great deal on hunting and gathering, they also were skilled farmers and excellent engineers, who left a complex network of irrigation canals. The Arizona Museum of National History has been sponsoring the ongoing excavation of the ruins. Photos and text thanks to George and Audrey DeLange, who conduct Arizona travels and tours.
- A unique comprehensive list of Arizona’s museums, including photographs, histories, descriptions, and location information.
- Canalscape seeks to preserve the canal system in the Phoenix area. This project, headed by Dr. Nan Ellin of ASU. also proposes building projects where some major streets intersect with the canals. Here is an example: the top photograph is of the canal at 16 th Street and Indian School. The image below is a rendering of what could be developed at that location.
- These are the six, simple criteria for Legacy Projects.
- This is the application cover page. Attach a maximum of three pages, not including letters of support. Follow the seven steps as noted.
- This is how Legacy Project status is conferred. Designees can use the official logo in their publicity, as well as statements that their project has been designated as one of the select Centennial Legacy Projects. The funding mentioned comes from the sale of Arizona Quarter souvenir folios and is provided in amounts of $750 to $1,500, depending upon the size of the project.
- These are the official Web sites, and lists of the Legacy Projects and applications are included on both.
- Thanks to Karen Churchard and the State Library for liberal borrowing from their PowerPoint presentations. Thanks also to Patti Hartmann of the U of A Press, and Jane Eppinga, for their contributions of information and photos. This is my contact information, if I can be of help to you. Good luck with your projects, and thank you for your attention.
- First, a bit about AHC for those of you who might be unfamiliar.
- Collaborative project with the Arizona State Library may be a Literary Map of Arizona Google “A Literary Map of Maine” for an example Map would be published online in 2011, and include titles with Arizona settings and/or by Arizona authors
- Project Grants are competitive awards for innovative, community-based projects and partnerships that connect Arizonans to humanities scholarship through public programming. Eligible applicants include nonprofit (501c3) organizations; local, tribal, and state governments; and academic institutions. Applicants may request up to $5,000, which must be matched by in-kind contributions. An additional amount up to $5,000 may be requested if matched by third-party cash contributions, which must be in place at the time of application to AHC. Applicants must submit an Intent to Apply before submitting a Project Grant application.
- Here are some examples of recently-funded types of projects your museums and communities could develop, with the caveat that they explore Arizona history in the context of statehood and/or address the meaning of statehood.
- Community Book Discussions offers a variety of titles for discussions moderated by humanities scholars, and pays them directly. The program operates like the speaker bureau, in that host organizations select the titles, schedule the moderators, provide the venue, and generate an audience.

- I’ve put AHC’s website up here because the different programs are coordinated by different staff members, although I can say that Rex here coordinates the speakers bureau and book discussion programs, and Erica Kinias coordinates the grant program.
