$4,000 gift to help Outdoor Circle with archiving
http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2001/Jul/09/ln/ln11a.html

The Outdoor Circle's Project Preservation has been awarded a $4,356 grant by
the Hawai'i Council for the Humanities. The goal of the project is to catalog
important archival materials gathered since the Outdoor Circle's start in
1912.
The inventory will determine the content, condition and quality of the
archives. Once completed, this information will be used to educate Hawai'i's
residents, decision-makers, developers and keiki about our state's unique
social and environmental movements, many of which were led by the Outdoor
Circle.

waters of Internet start-ups, Autodesk Inc. on Tuesday intends to announce

Autodesk sent the company out on its own.

In an age of computers and laser-light bar codes, a hot-iron brand is still
the only legal identification for livestock in Montana.
And those who own those brands are reminded to re-register them soon or face
the possibility of losing the hide mark to someone else.

Aquarium plunges into hand-helds to collect data

by Christine Tatum
Three baby dolphins in Baltimore owe plenty to a row of bulging three-ring
binders stacked in Chicago's Shedd Aquarium.
Several computer programmers and animal researchers also figure into the
technological daisy chain credited with helping to protect the lives of the
calves, born in April and May at the National Aquarium. But it was those
binders, stuffed with thousands of records the Shedd compiled on Kavayak, a
beluga whale born there in 1999, that persuaded Hans Keller to move animal
records into hand-held devices that could give researchers immediate access
to a range of information.

Humble monuments to Washington's Past
http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/metro/dc/A37940-2001Jul9.html

by Manny Fernandez
One of Washington's earliest historic artifacts can be found not in the
National Archives, but in Frank Ruddy's front lawn.
There, a few feet from his Chevy Chase doorstep, sits a short, square stone.
For an inanimate object, the 900-pound gray slab boasts quite a following:
Ruddy often finds strangers in his yard hovering over it, snapping pictures.

of negatives -- about 100,000 individual images -- to the Beaches Historical
Society in Jacksonville Beach.

Over 16 years, state workers regularly inspected the home of foster parents
Thomas and Sylvia Ferrara, writing reports that were so detailed they covered
whether the family had a skid-proof bathtub.
But those reports are of little use to the public in determining whether the
Department of Children & Families had reason to think that youngsters in the
couple's care were being abused.
