The biggest project, the five year Obituaries Index, was completed. Donations supported two large archival reframings (Class of 1954 and 1952) plus rebinding of the two earliest City Council Minutes books. Careful hoarding of funds through the year left me with enough money at the end of the year to get a wall display case and reframe a small group graduation photo (Class of 1939). BOOKS AND PHOTO COLLECTIONS: In 2009 due to decreased budget funds the Pioneer Room acquired only five new books. One of these was a history on the Hastings Police Department compiled by Mary Cofer. Ms. Cofer used PR files and photographs extensively and she was having a good time doing the research. The history project was put onto the back of the Annual Report from the Police Department and they have been surprised by the number of requests for copies from the public. Forty new photographs were added to our subject photo collection including: (a) photos of each individual hand embroidered block of the LeDuc Crazy quilt (b) photos forwarded from the Parks Department of the Lake Isabel Fishing Pier, the Mississippi River Flats Observation Pier, and the new Mississippi River Boat Dock Unfortunately the proposed swap of digital images between the Pioneer Room and Dakota County Historical Society has not yet taken place. DOHS had had to cut back their hours of operation but I am still hopeful that at some time in the future Rebecca Snyder will get to the list of images in their collection that I would like to add to our collection. When I scan in an image I think they would be interested in (such as the photos listed (b) above) I email them to DOHS . One hundred twenty five new photographs were added to our biographical portrait files including: (a) 1914 photo of the Conzemius family (2nd generation) will all identified (b) An 1864 print of Abraham Lincoln that was commercially available; found in a donated photo album. Back of the print says "Mrs. MA Canning, Photographer, Hastings, MN. (c) Digital scans and prints of the entire 1954 HHS graduating class. These were scanned in July 2009 when a donation was received from the 1954 Alumni to archivally reframe their group graduation photo. ARTIFACTS COLLECTIONS: Several new artifacts have been added to our collections including: (a) Certificate from then Governor Stassen to the City of Hastings (b)1984 City Charter, softbound book (c) Certificate of Election for Dakota County Clerk of Court from 1942 (d) 1866 and 1904 Land Patents for school land plus other miscellaneous deeds, mortgages, will and letters from the Murtaugh family (e) 193 5 Probate Code book. 2009 has been a good year for reframing our group graduation photos. Usually I hope to get one done a year. These large photos featuring photos of the Hasting High School graduates are an unusual collection, but since the last one was done in 1954, they are all old and need some preservation care. This year we were able to reframe the 1954 graduating class (funds donated), the 1952 class (funds donated) and the 1939 class (from non-cap artifacts budget). Digital scans were made of all the individual photos of class members which are later printed out and cataloged into our photo collection. Rebinding Early City Council Minute Books: I had written a grant proposal to Minnesota Historical Society to cover the cost of rebinding all seven handwritten volumes. I attended the Grants Review Process in March; I did not get the grant. A write up in the St. Paul Pioneer Press business section directed me to a Roseville man who restores and rebinds books. This gentleman, Gary Buchner, was willing to do one volume at a time at half the price the commercial firms (required by MHS) would do so I was able to get the first two volumes rebound using donations money. The years covered by these two volumes are June 1857 to May 1867 and November 1873 to August 1887. Display Nall Cabinet for Rivertown Days Buttons: In December I ordered a small locking wall cabinet to display our collection of Rivertown Days buttons. We have a complete collection but they had been kept stored away because we did not have room for them in the locking floor case. Original price of this cabinet was supposed to be $175 but found another vendor that makes the simple cases and ships them for considerably less ($92 total). TOURS: I continue to give short 20-30 minute tours of the building upon request (such as during the Chocolate March) and for bus tours. I have noticed not as many bus tours this year as previous years. One particularly fun tour was given to a visiting contingent from Denmark; they were representatives of Lifeworks and were very interested in how their people did cleaning in a historic building. EVENTS PIONEER ROOM PARTICIPATED IN: Historic Needlework Competition: The Pioneer Room is fortunate in having 500+ hand drawn tissue paper embroidery patterns from the Hastings Needlework Co. founded by two of the LeDuc daughters. The Pioneer Room joined with the Friends of the LeDuc in an effort to publicize and make use of these patterns. The project began in 2008 and culminated in a display at the LeDuc House in June 2009. Twenty-four designs were selected from the Pioneer Room's collection, scanned and cleaned up and posted on the Internet and artists were invited to interpret the designs in any media. Submissions were not limited to just needlework as evidenced by the summary listing of entries below: 1 beaded and embroid~ 7 embroideries 4 collages 1 garden design 1 large printed banner 7 hooked rugs 3 embroidered quilts gyred crown headpiece 1 digital print 1 shadow box 1 lace piece 3 paintings 2 embroidered fulled woo purses 1 embroidered woolen mittens This display got so many favorable comments from visitors to the LeDuc House that I've been asked to share the paper patterns again for another competition in 2011(the first meeting will be in February 2010 to select the patterns). 2009 Hastings Artists at the LeDuc Art Show: 2009 was the third year for this event which I assisted the Friends with. We had several new artists and surprisingly, considering the economy, we had greater sales than in 2008. VUe are gradually finding that we need a mix of about 50% smaller art pieces with 50% larger focal art pieces. ONGOING PROJECTS Obituaries Index: The 2004-2008 Obituaries Index was completed in 2009. All the obits for five years were collected, alphabetized, taped onto pages and copied. A listing with name(s), date obit published and death date precedes the pages of copied obituaries (for quick reference). This format is different from previous obit listings. Previous listings were compiled in rough chronological order then an alphabetical index generated. I found too many mistakes in the index and if you didn't know the approximate death date you couldn't locate the obit. By collecting the obituaries in alphabetical order an index isn't really needed. Four copies of this Obit Index were made: one for the Minnesota Historical Society, one for Dakota County Historical Society, one for the Pleasant Hill Library and one for the Pioneer Room. The original taped up pages will be sent to the Dakota County Genealogical Society. A new Obituaries Index, beginning with 2009 has been started. Hastings Wedding Index: Current entries are made from announcements in the HSG plus older weddings are being entered from several packets of published announcements in our file (these appear to be mostly from 1900-1950). Replacement Volume for Historic Hastings Handbook: Began holding meetings with volunteers who are interested in doing short articles for this publication. Several meetings were taken up with basic organizational decisions (size of volume, picture book or pictures + text book, type of binding, price limitations, how many to print, etc.). We have now reached the writing stage which will probably continue through fall 2010. Due to the economy we will probably go with print on demand and initially print fewer volumes so we do not deplete the HPC's publication fund. Hastings Men in the Civil War Booklet: The verified listing of names has been completed; over 900 men from the Hastings area (or who later settled in Hastings) will be documented in the first half of the book in a spreadsheet giving basic information (enlistment date, discharge date (or death at what battle), etc.). This list was done by volunteer Shirley Dalaska. The second part of the book will be short biographies on selected veterans; I have been working on this part. The spreadsheet listing will run about 30 pages both sides; I am proposing that the more "readable" second part should be about the same size so I am planning on doing biographies on at least 24 soldiers (more if I find particularly interesting stories). In amongst the biographies will be short boxed information (such as info on the Civil War prisoner camps) on related topics. The main criteria for the second section is readability; I want to show how these Civil War vets went on to become farmers, doctors, merchants, how they continued to contribute to their community and country. Another emphasis in the second section is on good graphics. Brooklyn Center had loaned us a copy of their booklets on their men in the Civil War (they had only 200 and we able to do a biography on each one resulting in a 3 volume set) and when I met with two of their publication committee they emphasized how important it was to have interesting graphics, even if they were only of the tombstones. I am hoping to avoid tombstone shots but will use one if a very interesting story accompanies it. Anticipated completion date is to the printer late in 2010 so they finished product can be available in 2011.....150 years after the outbreak of the Civil War. Will need to do some publicity in late 2010 to spur early sales. City Website: Hastings Faces and Places: Researched several short pages and selected graphics on unique architecture and people from Hastings which were put up on the City's website. Eventually I hope to have a page for every Historical Registry site and several dozen of our famous citizens online also. Hastings History Shorts: Local cable TV has asked me to research short 1 minute pieces on Hastings history that I would narrate and would be shown as "filler" between their cable TV programs. They were proposing 4 per month which would require about half a day per month filming. So far we haven't been able to connect on that regular a schedule but we are both still wor ping on t ese.
