<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Overview<o:p></o:p></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">The quiet workrooms and storage areas of museums house a number of items that present danger to unsuspecting museum staff and others. Of primary concern are firearms and ammunition. But many
explosive, flammable, and/or poisonous chemicals contaminate objects routinely displayed in museums. From residues found on agricultural tools to vintage medicine bottles, unseen chemicals can be as potent today as when first applied.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Join us and discover how best to identify and deal with collection items that are potentially dangerous: from the obvious (handguns, rifles, and swords) to the unexpected (taxidermied animals
and Native American baskets treated with arsenic).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">During the workshop, Sarah and Joseph will provide helpful guidelines to facilitate identification of unexpected safety problems in your own collection. The proper handling, care, documentation,
and storage of a variety of hazardous materials will be discussed. Joseph and Sarah will explore the practical and ethical issues surrounding the care of historic artifacts. Who may handle what? When? What state/local agencies regulate the handling of these
materials?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">The Marion Dean Ross (PNW) chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians is pleased to announce that the Call for Papers is open for the session we are sponsoring at the Society of Architectural
Historians International meeting in Seattle in May-June, 2020. Our session is entitled: “<i>Sites Unseen: Other Cultural Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest</i>”<b>
</b>and is being organized by<b> </b>J. Philip Gruen of Washington State University and James Buckley of the University of Oregon. The session is described as follows: “The built environment of the Pacific Northwest reflects a diversity of traditions, yet the
full range of its architecture remains understudied. This session will examine Northwestern cultural landscapes that lie outside of the dominant culture, such as those of Indigenous peoples, African Americans, Latin Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders,
women, LGBTQAA+, European ethnic groups, religious sects, and other specific populations. Papers might examine physical structures these groups designed on their own, their reuse of existing buildings for their own purposes, or spaces they occupied intentionally
or involuntarily (including agricultural landscapes, internment camps, and reservations).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Papers are welcome on a wide variety of sites, time periods, and occupants/users. For example, recent archaeological, ethnological, and fieldwork studies of Indigenous groups can help us
understand the many native cultures in this region. Migrants from Mexico and Central America have had a regional presence since the early-twentieth century, yet the Latin American cultural landscape of the Northwest remains largely hidden from the historic
and contemporary record. Asian immigrants helped develop the Pacific Northwest; what can a site like Kam Wah Chung in John Day, Oregon, or the East Kong Yick Building in Seattle reveal about their experience? Seattle’s Central District and Portland’s Albina
neighborhood have shifted from majority African American in the late 1960s to mostly white today, but what do we know about the black cultural landscape of the Pacific Northwest—its homes, schools, stores, clubs, and places of worship? The session is intended
to expose ways in which architecture can represent different cultural landscapes within a single, culturally complex geographical region.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Art Works is the National Endowment for the Arts’ principal grants program. Through project-based funding, we support public engagement with, and access to, various forms of excellent art
across the nation, the creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence, learning in the arts at all stages of life, and the integration of the arts into the fabric of community life. Projects may be large or small, existing or new, and may take
place in any part of the nation’s 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
