State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation to meet June 18

The State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation (SACHP) will meet June 18 via conference call to consider nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. This meeting is open to the public.

The SACHP meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. to consider nominations to the National Register. The weblink for the call is posted on our website at https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/Commissions.aspx#SACHP

Friday's meeting agenda: hearings of one proposed amendment and three proposed nominations.

For specific hearing times, refer to the online agenda: www.oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org/> (click on "Commissions & Committees" at top of page and look under "State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation").

The committee will review one proposed amendment: Oregon State University Historic District (Boundary Decrease), Corvallis.

The committee will review three proposed nominations: Portland Golf Club Clubhouse, Portland; O.K. Jeffery Airplane Factory, Portland; West Linn City Hall, West Linn.

This effort aligns with the Oregon Historic Preservation Plan<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/2018preservationplan.pdf> goal to increase the thematic diversity of Oregon properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It also supports the goals to include more voices and increase access to Oregon heritage that are part of the Oregon Heritage Plan<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/2020_Oregon_Heritage_Plan.pdf>.

Nominations recommended by the SACHP go to the National Park Service, which maintains the Register under the authority of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

The SACHP is a nine-member governor-appointed citizen commission with credentials in many historic preservation-related fields.

The conference call is accessible to people with disabilities. Special accommodations for the meeting may be made with at least three days of advance notice by calling (503) 986-0690.

More information about the National Register of Historic Places process is online at www.oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org/> (click on "National Register" at left of page).

Eugene partnership focused on historic resources related to its LGBTQIA+ community

City of Eugene has partnered with the Museum on Natural and Cultural History historical archaeology team to conduct research and develop a report on Eugene's historic LGBTQIA+ community.

Eugene's LGBTQIA+ community hasn't been adequately documented in mainstream historical narratives, making the new project a critical step toward telling a more complete, inclusive Eugene story. Focused on the assessment of historic, above-ground resources, research to date has identified several buildings that are likely significant to the history.

New 'Museums for Digital Learning' Site for K-12 Educators Launches

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is pleased to announce the launch of a new online resource center<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001POdiHytmsQPzQ4grAtT1Js8yflKvCIiFncj5A0Isr5HHx3__M6TWasKe0q0gFVhLkSYzfivoX-5LfoC-ch6Kw2TLw5vjS2ahjuIeXDP2IlLRk3UM9_Hwy4oDFJp0hvA8wAFpFN6OnbZB97L0o_9km0-7H7fDCkFq&c=GKFFpA9wr0Uqisl6AtsyH9Hp4byA4I6jQxk9hAnm3ho16Ml86vmOcg==&ch=vwoz-gdcukYGZGXKV3uG6u6ZxZ6SffLgPJ17qmqJaegz1CToJD53Og==> featuring dynamic digital museum content for K-12 educators searchable by subject and grade. Teachers across the country can now find resources that feature engaging activities from a growing number of museums all aligned with national education standards.

Originally funded as a pilot project through an FY 2018 National Leadership Grant<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001POdiHytmsQPzQ4grAtT1Js8yflKvCIiFncj5A0Isr5HHx3__M6TWatuY9I5u_EvuGLCI-eMniH8zwTJ7ZoDxZy5agzXycvDmh0xLNx2I5Baf75Fs-h0g3EJJlYwBvz0-bK_4lC5HPweU8R158DIj6Cl5TL3n9pS5FYGhZYoehcWbzl53uMR_UpUMoAEJTfuWPkVBpWicN6jRKkBZ8glLnU-sVnv3BXQbKpL0JumeRsnI4tITGQnWDB0kVIcUrfyqFsxGauyhWAz611JG2yVmhA==&c=GKFFpA9wr0Uqisl6AtsyH9Hp4byA4I6jQxk9hAnm3ho16Ml86vmOcg==&ch=vwoz-gdcukYGZGXKV3uG6u6ZxZ6SffLgPJ17qmqJaegz1CToJD53Og==> to the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, Museums for Digital Learning (MDL) is a collaboration of IMLS, Newfields, the Field Museum, and History Colorado. The project brings together museums of various disciplines, sizes, and geographic regions to contribute to a shared digital platform offering K-12 educational resource kits developed from museum collections.

Over the course of the last two and a half years, the MDL team designed a platform that would build and strengthen the capacity of our nation's museums to serve the larger K-12 education community. Working with K-12 educators, the team created templates that would be easy for any museum to populate and add to the site as Resource Kits. There are now 23 museums committed to participating and 29 Resource Kits.

With the website's official launch, hundreds of museums have the opportunity to contribute to MDL, making it a rich resource for K-12. MDL features and opportunities for contributing museums and K-12 educators include:

  *   Inquiry-Based, Interactive Learning: Resource Kits are made up of several activity types through which museums can choose to present their content. These may include narratives, hotspots, slideshows, annotations, timelines, games, and e-books. Museums decide on the number of digitized objects they want to use in a kit and the types of activities they want to include.

  *   Curriculum Aligned: All Resource Kits are curriculum aligned and searchable by grade level and subject.

  *   Collaboration: MDL offers a unique opportunity for two or more museums to co-create a Resource Kit with digital assets from their institutions around a single theme or topic.

  *   Flexible Content: MDL welcomes museums of all kinds: collecting and non-collecting, and those with inanimate or living collections. Museums can use objects, audio, video, and even exhibition panel texts.

  *   Power of the Whole: A shared platform makes it easy for educators to visit, browse, and gather teaching resources from one place, rather than having to explore hundreds of individual sites. Time and ease of access are two key needs of teachers.

How to Participate
The MDL team holds regular training webinars for museums who are interested in contributing content, and videos and other resources are in the museum section of the platform.

As the project expands, the MDL team continues to work with a dedicated group of educators to create greater awareness about this resource for teachers and school librarians across the nation.
