As a result, we are in a moment in Eau Claire history where music and arts are becoming very important to our sense of identity. As historians we do not have the primary sources that we need to properly study and research the music in the area. From this, the <i>Sounds of Eau Claire </i>project was created.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">In the spring of 2017 students from the Introduction to Public History course completed the first round of oral histories that documented stories from local music legends. These included Jazz professor Bob Baca, festival organizer Jim Bischel, and Blugold radio manager Scott Morfitt. Students researched, interviewed, and transcribed the conversations with the narrator. These histories were later turned into podcasts that were broadcast to the public on Blugold radio. The interviews were donated to Special Collections and Archives in McIntyre Library and are open to the public for research. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">These oral histories were just the tip of the iceberg for the <i>Sounds of Eau Claire, </i>this sparked not only another semester of oral histories but the <i>History Harvest </i>event that was held on March 3, 2018 at the Chippewa Valley Museum. This event aimed to digitize the hidden gems of Eau Claire’s musical past. These hidden gems included instruments, programs, scrapbooks, and other musical memorabilia. The Special Collections and Archives has partnered with the UWEC history department to collect and digitize these various items that came to us through the <i>History Harvest. </i>Led by Dr. Dan Ott with assistance by Archivist Greg<i> </i>Kocken,<i> </i>Students in the <i>Public History Seminar</i> course were trained to digitize these treasures as well as collect metadata about the objects. This allows for students to get real life experience with actual Public History work, this kind of project is not often found at a university of Eau Claire’s size.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Aside from the digitization process, the day featured various speakers and performers. Including: "<i>Oclare/Eaux Claires, Faux Claire/Eau Claire: Music and the Imagination of an Upper Midwestern Community"</i> with UW-Madison folklorist Dr. James P. Leary; Live Music with Bob &amp; Bernie Cynor; &nbsp;a Panel Discussion: <i>Echoes of Eau Claire</i>with Cathy; Reitz, Dr. Gretchen Peters, Dr. Nick Poss, and Nick Meyer; Live Music with Nick Seeger; and <i>University Roots in the Chippewa Valley Music Scene</i> with UWEC Music Department chair Dr. Gretchen Peters. These speakers and performers made this event not just for donors but allowed for the community to connect with the history and culture of Eau Claire.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">This is funded by in part by the Wisconsin Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br />Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13987557388718269927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25536328.post-21577308901807845582018-02-21T10:31:00.002-06:002018-02-21T10:31:25.845-06:004th Annual Backgammon Tournament To Be Held at McIntyre Library April 7<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xJBLMew6Pl0/VJCN6F94AHI/AAAAAAAAAic/LVYRQn81P_oBzOQReB0_9F85d2cPLgp9wCPcB/s1600/Backgammon_lg.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="208" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xJBLMew6Pl0/VJCN6F94AHI/AAAAAAAAAic/LVYRQn81P_oBzOQReB0_9F85d2cPLgp9wCPcB/s320/Backgammon_lg.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Backgammon Set</td></tr></tbody></table>McIntyre Library at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will host the 4th annual Eau Claire backgammon tournament on April 7 starting at 1 pm.

Phillips Memorial Public Library have teamed up to host a reading program entitled "One Book, One Community." This program will feature a handful of events in which participants will read and discuss J.D. Vance's <i>Hillbilly Elegy</i>.<br /><br />UW-Eau Claire faculty, staff, and students are invited to read the book and join the discussion on campus on April 9 at noon in CETL (OL 1142). Additional programs will be held throughout the week at the Eau Claire Public Library.<br /><br />McIntyre Library will be giving away copies of the book to the first 15 registrants. To register contact Eric Jennings (<a href="mailto:jenninge@uwec.edu">jenninge@uwec.edu</a>).<br /><br /><i><b>About the Program</b></i><br />One Book, One Community is a reading program designed to encourage literacy and civic involvement by reading a single book which highlights issues relevant to our community. This collaboration is for all members of the UW-Eau Claire (students, faculty, staff) and greater Eau Claire community. <br /><br /><b><i>About the Book</i></b> <br /><i>Hillbilly Elegy</i> by J.D. Vance is a memoir about the Appalachian values of the Vance's upbringing and their relation to the social problems of his hometown. The author reflects on upward mobility in America seen through the lens of a white, working-class family.<br /><br />The book has received high praise from a variety of sources. This #1 <i>New York Times</i> Best Seller was listed as one of six books to help understand Trump's election. <i>The Economist</i> said "You will not read a more important book about America this year." <i>Christianity Today</i> remarked "The troubles of the working poor are well known to policymakers, but Vance offers an insider’s view of the problem.”<br /><br /><b><i>Program Listing&nbsp;</i></b><br /><ul><li><i>Monday, April 9, noon-1 pm (CETL, UW-Eau Claire): </i>Book Discussion</li><li><i>Monday, April 9, 6 -7:30 pm (L.E.

In the shadow of other 19th century conflicts, our memory of this war is fading. This November we will explore the impact of “the war to end all wars” on the Chippewa Valley. Our expert presenters and project partners aim to deliver programs that connect with all audiences, especially local veterans and their families, through a series of four programs listed below.&nbsp; For more information, please visit: <a href="http://www.uwec.ly/WWI">www.uwec.ly/WWI</a>.<br /><b>_______ </b><br /><br /><b>Free Speech in WWI Wisconsin</b><br />November 7, 2017 | 6:00pm<br />Chippewa Valley Museum<br />1204 E.

McIntyre Library is featuring three Blugolds’ sculptures throughout the building for students to enjoy. Renee Ewer, Alexander Graham and Mai Lou Yang created sculptures for Professor Cedar Marie’s Art 365: Site-Specific Art class in a different area of the library in an “artistic and creative way.” <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">The students were given various sites to work with and each chose one for their final sculptures. After the preliminary models were completed by the three students, they presented their pieces to Interim Library Director Jill Markgraf and Program Associate Trista Anderson to approve the final large-scale sculptures. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">The final sculptures are now available to view on different floors of the McIntyre Library and include the following items, a chair, paper cranes, and paper flowers. Renee Ewer created a chair that resembles a tree stump, but still has the comfortable qualities of a recliner. Ewer wanted to construct a sculpture that the viewer could interact with on a “tangible and mental level.” Alexander Graham entitled his sculpture of 60 paper cranes, “Paper Wishes,” with each crane containing a wish written on it that he collected from the public. A Japanese myth inspired Graham for this artwork and it can be seen hanging in the stairwell of the library. Lastly, Mai Lou Yang created a wall piece which includes various sizes of white and blue flowers. With finals just around the corner, Yang wanted to bring a “calming presence” to the library to help other students relax during the end of the semester. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></div>All of these sculptures are available for viewing throughout McIntyre Library, but if you don’t have a chance to see it in person, you can visit the library’s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10158394455380562.1073741849.304256360561&amp;type=1&amp;l=8e17146aaa" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> to see the students with their artwork.<br />-Jill Markgrafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15963210427274720351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25536328.post-14655329677910177022017-05-16T09:29:00.001-05:002017-05-16T11:53:56.473-05:00Summer 2017 Library Hours (May 22 - September 5)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
