Letter from the Chairman and PresidentLetter from the Chairman and President

Dear Members and Friends,

We at the Colorado Historical Societyhave been listening to voices allaround us this year, the voices of

our many audiences—our members, visitors,partners, communities, funders, and voicesfrom the past.

Our members repeatedly inform us thatthey value preserving history in all its forms. Aslife-long learners, they enjoy the informativecontent of our excellent periodicals and award-winning publications. Visitor surveys inform us that the lives of Native Americans greatlyinterest them and that they enjoy engaging inauthentic historical experiences. Accordingly,we published Western Voices: 125 Years ofColorado Writing and opened a major interac-

tive exhibition about the state’s prehistoricIndian cultures, entitled Ancient Voices: Storiesof Colorado’s Distant Past.

With a dozen museums statewide, theColorado Historical Society offers educationalresources to large and small communitiesthroughout Colorado. Partnering with theNational Park Service, the New MexicoHistorical Society, and the WesternPennsylvania Historical Society, we received amajor grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to expand the nationallyacclaimed program Old Stories, New Voices, aweek-long camp at Fort Garland Museum inthe San Luis Valley, to at-risk youngsters inother states.

Board members and staff alike recognizethat demand far exceeds the available supply

of state dollars. Therefore, in order to expandour capacity to serve audiences and fulfill ourmission, the Society will have to increase itsdonations and earned revenues. To do so it hasbecome increasingly important to identify andto respond to our constituents’ needs and pref-erences. Our efforts have resulted in a doublingof paid visitors at the Colorado HistoryMuseum this year.

Additionally, informing the public aboutthe quality programs and services we offermust be one of our goals. With a major grantfrom the State Historical Fund, the Societypartnered with the Colorado Tourism Officeand communities statewide to develop and tobegin implementation of a Heritage Tourism

initiative. This effort will have the dual effect ofenhancing the traveling public’s appreciationfor the state’s historical resources while stimu-lating local and state economies.

Voices call to us from many sources, butthe Society’s Strategic Plan 2005–2010,approved by the Board of Directors earlier thisyear, will keep us focused, building on strongprogrammatic foundations and identifyingstrategic opportunities to fulfill our essentialmission to educate people about the diversehistorical legacy of Colorado and the West, carrying the voices from our past to the peopleof today and tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Colorado Voices: Susan Andrews

on the Society’seducationprograms

Susan Andrews, a third-gradeteacher at

Denver’s ColoradoAcademy, has been bringing

her students to the Colorado History Museumfor classes on mining, cowboys, ancientPuebloans, and Hispanos for years.

“The Society is adaptable and works withus to meet our needs,” Andrews says. “Most

importantly, CHS does what we are unable todo in the classroom,” she says. “They use age-appropriate activities and real artifacts to extendwhat we are teaching, not repeat it. CHS makesit possible for our students to actually see,touch, and analyze the past.”

Two years ago, Andrews partnered withthe Society to create the student docentprogram, in which third-graders serve asdocents at the Colorado History Museum.First, the students participate in the museum’seducational programs to gain backgroundinformation and get to know the museum.Then, they choose and research a Coloradohistorical figure, dress as the character, and givean oral report in class. Finally, they appear at

the museum in character to interact with visi-tors and share what they’ve learned.

Students respond very positively to theexperience, Andrews says. “They say the docentprogram helps them really learn history,” shesays. “They also say it’s fun to share what theylearned, and anytime a student enjoys learning,it encourages them to learn even more.” Anadded bonus is that parents come to themuseum to see their kids in action. “It engagesthe entire family, and gives the students achance to show their parents, in a tangible way,what they’ve been learning.”

“It’s a great experience for everyoneinvolved,” Andrews says. “And we couldn’t doit without a resource like the ColoradoHistorical Society.”

Outreach ProgramsOutreach Programs

“I found out that youcan learn cool things

about history,” saidone participant inOld Stories, NewVoices. Anothersaid, “I didn’t

want to work ashard in school before,

but Old Stories, NewVoices gave me more discipline...”

Old Stories, New Voices is a week-longcamp for disadvantaged youth at Fort Garland Museum in southern

Colorado. Campers learn how diverse cul-

tures—American Indians, African Americans,Hispanos and Anglos—overlapped in this his-torically-rich region. Creating an appreciationof history, improving self-esteem, and intro-ducing historic preservation values are amongthe program’s goals.

Supported by the State Historical Fund,Old Stories, New Voices was created in 1996 inpartnership with the National Park Service andthe National Trust for Historic Preservation,and has since served over 500 youths. InAugust 2004, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded the Society a$240,000 grant to replicate this award-winningprogram in Pennsylvania, Texas, and NewMexico. “This is a program that changes lives,”said one NEH reviewer. “I want to be 12. Iwant to go too.”

“We are pleased to share this programwith kids in Taos,” says New Mexico programdirector Arsenio Cordova, a professor of south-west studies at the University of New Mexico-Los Alamos. “Old Stories, New Voices teachesawareness and respect for the many cultures inour region. In only one week, students connectstrongly their history, their heritage, and theknowledge that they have a place in the futureof the West.”

One repeat camper expressed the value of her experience more simply. “Thank you somuch for leting [sic] me have another extroda-nary [sic] experience,” she wrote. “…I’vechanged through this camp and I’ve mademore friends there than I made (at home.)”

Colorado Voices: Karen Wilde Rogers

on Ancient Voices:Stories ofColorado’sDistant Past

Karen WildeRogers is the former

Executive Secretary for theColorado Commission on Indian Affairs and amember of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation andPawnee Nation of Oklahoma. Since 1996, shehas worked with the Society on NativeAmerican issues, including serving on the

Society’s intergovernmental Native AmericanGraves Protection and Repatriation Act(NAGPRA) compliance team. Today, theSociety’s NAGPRA efforts are recognized as anational model.

“Over the years, CHS has really grown inits cultural sensitivity and awareness, and thatequals respect for our culture.” Rogers pointsto the election of a Native American, BarbaraSutteer, to the Society’s Board of Directors in1998 as a milestone in the Society’s sensitivityto Native culture.

Another milestone is the Society’s newexhibit, Ancient Voices: Stories of Colorado’sDistant Past. “The exhibit is so well done. I’malways encouraging people to go see it.”

Most important, she says, is the Society’scommitment to including Native peoples inthe exhibit development process. “The willing-ness to bring in this expertise shows a dedica-tion to being culturally astute. And involving(Pulitzer Prize–winning poet and author) N. Scott Momaday, a person so highly regardedby Native Americans, shows the commitmentto including Native perspectives.”

The only thing missing from AncientVoices, according to Rogers, is a glimpse ofNative people in the present, a topic to be

addressed in the upcoming Confluence ofCultures exhibit, tracing Native Americanhistory in Colorado from the mid-1500s totoday. “I’m looking forward to this project,”she says, “if for no other reason than it willteach more people that Native Americans arenot just a piece of history that’s no longeraround. After all, I’m living proof of that!”

Colorado Voices: Clair Villano on

PreservingColoradoCommunities:The Italians ofDenver

In 2002, the Societyestablished theColorado Italian

American Preservation Association (CIAPA) todevelop an archive of materials illustrating theItalian American experience in Colorado.These efforts will culminate in a 2007 exhibitand publication, tentatively titled Preserving

Colorado Communities: The Italians of Denver,and have already yielded more than 3,000research files, photographs, artifacts, oral histories, and other information that docu-ments the history, people, and traditions of the community.

When CIAPA started collecting theseitems, volunteer Clair Villano became afamiliar face at the Society. In addition toattending committee meetings, documentingitems on loan from Italian American families,and filing newspaper clippings, Villano hascontributed several family photographs to thearchive, and she is working on a bibliographyof newspaper articles about what was oncereferred to as “the Italian colony” in northDenver. “It’s fascinating to see the community

As she became involved in CIAPA, Claircame to realize how urgent it is to collect thishistory now. “The traces of the past are soquickly lost. Often, by the time we realize howvaluable something is, it’s already gone.”

The most important thing that can comeout of CIAPA’s work, Villano believes, is edu-cating people that there is a place for theseitems. “The general public needs to know thatthe Society is interested in their stuff. Theirbelongings, which they think of as ordinary andmundane, may actually be their legacy to thefuture. It’s just that simple—and important.”

Colorado Voices: Ric Conard on theState Capitol Life-Safety Project

When com-pleted in1903, the

Colorado State Capitolexemplified cutting-edge design and tech-

nology. However, one hundred years later, alack of modern life-safety features jeopardizesour state’s most treasured architectural land-mark—and its occupants.

“So far we’ve been lucky,” says RicConard, project architect for State Buildings

and Real Estate Programs. “Over the lastcentury, one-fifth of our nation’s state capi-tols—including statehouses in Oregon,Missouri, North Dakota, Illinois, Texas, andNew York—were either destroyed or severelydamaged by fire.” To ensure such a tragedydoesn’t strike here, the State Historical Fund(SHF) has awarded three grants totaling nearly$15 million to improve life-safety features atthe Capitol.

The six-year, five-phase plan will be completed in December 2008 and includesbuilding four new enclosed stairwells;installing a new fire command center and fire-safety devices; expanding the museum and visitor information center; and doing ahomeland security assessment.

The Colorado State Capitol rotunda


“Oftentimes, integrating modern safetyfeatures into a historic building happens in anad hoc manner. With technical assistance fromSHF, however, a more sensitive approach isbeing taken to preserve the building’s historiccharacter,” says Conard. The scope of work alsoincludes a comprehensive Historic StructureAssessment, which will help guide futurepreservation planning for the building.

Despite everyone’s best intentions, effortsto upgrade fire protection and life-safety fea-tures were deferred for years, until the State

Historical Fund was called on for help.“Without SHF’s support, this plan likelywouldn’t happen, and this irreplaceableresource, its materials, its contents, and itsoccupants would remain at risk,” says Conard.

Volunteering at theSociety

Erwin Hayes hasvolunteered togive tours to

students and adults atthe Colorado History

Museum since 1992. “Thesecond and third graders are fun

because they need a lot of hands-on stuff. Youget a lot of feedback from the fourth graders,but by the time they get to seventh and eighth

grade, it’s not cool to ask questions anymore,”Erwin says with a chuckle.

If it sounds like Erwin knows his audi-ence pretty well, there’s a good reason for that.He’s given over 1,000 tours at the ColoradoHistory Museum and the Lebanon Mine.

“I come as often as they’ll have me,”Erwin says of his volunteering schedule. Basedon comments from those who take his tours,the Society can’t have him often enough.Teachers, students, and others who take Erwin’stours compliment his interactive presentationstyle and considerable knowledge of Coloradohistory.

Erwin’s own love of learning keeps hismind sharp when it comes to history. “I read a
