<BR>Oh say, you can't see the poem that became the national anthem
<BR>Key's handwritten words locked up for safety's sake
<BR>By Julie Hirschfeld Davis
<BR>It is a source of Baltimore pride, an icon of American history and perha=
ps the most vivid symbol of Independence Day aside from the flag itself.
<BR>But for now, the oldest manuscript of Francis Scott Key's "Star-Spangled=
 Banner," the celebrated poem that became the words of America's national an=
them, is off-limits.
<BR>And so are many of the other prominent symbols of history that patriotic=
 Americans might be hoping to visit to celebrate the birth of their nation.

<BR>Castro knows the sound of silence Pre-talkies find a perfect home at mov=
ie palace's annual festival
<BR>by Edward Guthmann
<BR>If it weren't for the Castro Theatre and its reputation among film archi=
vists, Stephen Salmons and Melissa Chittick wouldn't be able to mount the Si=
lent Film Festival each year. It's not just the theater's vintage, 1921, tha=
t makes it attractive, Salmons says, or the Mighty Wurlitzer organ, or the p=
lush trappings that spell old-time movie palace.
<BR>It's that archivists don't have to worry about their films being mishand=
led.

<BR>Tribal identity a priority for Seminole ethnohistorian
<BR>by Pat Hubbard
<BR>HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- The Seminole Tribe of Florida took a huge step toward=
 preserving its social history when it created a Department of Anthropology=20=
and Genealogy in 1995 at its headquarters here.
<BR>Directed by ethnohistorian Patricia R. Wickman, PhD, the department prim=
arily serves members of the tribe. Its central mission is to preserve record=
s that reconstruct tribal families and clans bound by blood and fictive kins=
hip throughout Seminole
<BR>history. Wickman and her staff research old records and conduct oral his=
tory interviews with tribal members to construct the Seminole cultural and g=
enealogical record from the 16th century to the present.
