Emily Cohen: I'm Emily Cohen, Emily Diminiani Cohen. Class of 1988 Jennifer Carr: I'm Jennifer Carr and I'm also class of 1988 HS: And how did you two meet? JC: We met on our move in day of our freshmen year, so 1984. September. But we met on the phone prior to that. Emily gave me a phone call after you get your letter - back in those days you got an actual delivered letter that explained who your roommate was and what interests my overlap. And Emily phoned and we had a fun conversation. HS: Do you remember that conversation? JC: Do you? EC: Bits and pieces, I think you probably remember more than I do, you have a better memory for those. JC: I remember Emily saying that she was from New York and that she spoke very proper and I had a Boston accent that was fairly thick at the time and Emily quietly note, 'oh, you have a thick Boston accent' and I think it lead into the fact that she would be allowed to have a car on campus and I was like, "ooh a car on car on campus, that'll be exciting" EC: Right, that was back in the day. I think now Freshmen are not allowed to have cars, but I think we did. I don't remember if I had it from the very beginning or six months in. JC: I don't recall EC: We might have. So yes, we met move-in day. My parents, Jennifer's parents. I was teary, I couldn't believe I was going to college, and going to be independent and �2 Cohen & Carr separated from my parents and Jennifer was ready to celebrate and throw her arms up in the air. JC: I was celebrating. Parent free. It was a nice opportunity to be away from my parents that I was very much looking forward to. HS: And what dorm were you in JC: Tower. Tower 8th floor correct? EC: 8th floor, yes. JC: And we had a balcony room EC: and a co-ed floor which my parents were horrified by JC: Oh gosh, mine as well. My father met a young man who had an earring, and he was a little, discombobulated by that fact. I think, first that there was a man on our floor and what did that mean in 1984. Didn't mean anything; that he liked an earring. HS: And when you got to your room did you decorate, did you settle in, did you explore the campus? EC: We bought a few things. You had a bit more flare than I did. You brought maybe a lamp, something for the walls, posters. There was definitely an Ice Cream Social, that was an icebreaker. I do remember that, going to that together. After I stopped crying we went to the ice cream social. We had the window seat, did you make that your bed? JC: Yea we moved the mattress off the bed-frame, I don't know where we were allowed to put the bed-frame after that, but we moved the mattress to the window seat so my bed was there and Emily had the modular unit. EC: Right, so I had to climb up some stairs and then the desk below. We had a nice room. Nice suite JC: We had suite-mates. 1, 2, 3, rooms on our side and then two rooms on the other side of the bathroom. �3 Cohen & Carr HS: So when you got into Skidmore did you have any idea of what you'd want to major in or what you wanted to get out of Skidmore? EC: I wanted liberal arts, so that's what drew me to Skidmore. I studied French, but really a broad liberal arts curriculum. So I think I was looking for that experience. You were business-minded. JC: I was a business major, and I think I knew that from the beginning but I also was excited about the liberal arts experience and I remember thinking partially through the school year how each class room experience had some shared knowledge that sort of transcended from one class to the next and I was very excited about that because that's not how high-school was. HS: Do you have any examples how those classes transcended into the rest? JC: It was a long time ago. Let's see. I do remember we took a business, we had BU-107 I think it was in the beginning stages of that and just how that incorporated accounting, but also had english features to it that you had to do presentations EC: Right, and read the book and even as a french major I took BU-107 and I remember to this day reading the book called House. I think that's what it was called, about a married couple who built a house - it was a novel about how they almost ended up divorced because of this process together so even in a business class there was this whole study approach. JC: The aspect of working in a group and who would take on which roles, and who was slacking and who was not slacking. I think I wasn't the best business major in the world HS: And did you take the class together cause you were such good friends? EC: We didn't take the class together, no. I took it maybe as a junior just ya know to take because it was one of those, 'oh you have to take BU-107 and �4 Cohen & Carr learn about McDonalds and Gillette Razors' and all of those classic business examples. You took it probably first year. JC: I took it first year, maybe second semester. I remember it being springtime. I remember on our day of our presentation listening to a Crosby Stills and Nash song, I don't know why that sticks in my mind, and having to present in front of these business men, there were no women at the time. But it was very nerve racking. I was nervous. HS: Do you remember what song? JC: I'm not good with the songs, but it's the one that goes on for about 12 minutes long. HS: Sweet Judy Blue Eyes? JC: mmm we'd have to google it I think HS: And could you tell me a bit about not just your dorm room, but your dorm life? Did you hang out with people in your suite and the floors? JC: We did, there was a freshmen group, they were in a triple. EC: Yes, one of our dearest friends to this day, she lives in Colorado so unfortunately Claude Goldberg is not here, but we're dear friends to this day. And then a junior in a single JC: And a senior on the other side whose boyfriend took photographs for Sports Illustrated and that was kind of fascinating; we got to see the photographs of - what sticks in my mind is the swimsuit issues were always so popular at the time and kind of sexist I guess now; but the swimsuit issues would come out and you'd look at all the photographs but we got to see all the photographs before they were retouched and we were amazed at how different things were. EC: I do remember that. JC: You remember that? �5 Cohen & Carr EC: I forgot about that. HS: Were there parties in the dorms or more relaxed? JC: I think they used to have like floor parties, maybe the RA's would pair up with another floor and you'd have like seventh and eighth floor would have like a social and I think they could serve alcohol cause the drinking age was eighteen at the time and they would put a sign on the water fountain that said 'non alcoholic beverage' kind of thing. And they'd be socials so they weren't hours and hours long but there was a common room EC: There was, I was just about to say I remember - was it on the top floor? Because I remember our freshmen year watching the Super Bowl in some sort of common room, but not on our floor because we were the last class to have J-term so we spent January, we came back right after December vacation and had a one month - I think I took art history that month - a one month intensive maybe three week class. And skiing, we used to go to West Mountain and Ski. So we were here for the Super-bowl. I remember going to a party freshmen year on that floor JC: Yea it's the penthouse I believe HS: So when you weren't in classes - you just said you skid - were you part of any clubs or activities? JC: I was on the riding team, the horse riding team for a couple of years. And did we join in the some other thing within the dorm, I think we might've EC: Maybe, I remember some sort of volunteer opportunities. I remember something in town, maybe with an elementary school that I did at one point. It was such a long time ago now but my memories are of, and that was what touched me this morning listening to the award ceremony, and to our classmate who received the Creative Thought Matters award, that there was this commitment even then to social activism and taking care of the �6 Cohen & Carr other and it wasn't called creative thought matters but it was definitely in the culture of, you know, putting yourself out there to help in the community and the world. HS: And so I guess coming back here are you seeing anything that has stayed the same that you're happy has stayed the same since when you were around? JC: I think the overall campus layout is the same so it feels familiar. Still the same buildings that are here now but I find comfort knowing like where to go to find which dorm, the names of the buildings return to my mind, when someone says the Ladd building, I'm like "oh the Ladd building". But mostly the dorms I think bring back a little nostalgia feel. Like which window was mine, you know remember that year you lived in that dorm and traipsing across the quad we would have occasionally on Saturdays or Sundays they would have sort of like cake parties out there I guess. Someone would put a speaker up in Howe-Rounds out their window and just be out. HS: And was there anything that you came across on campus while you've been here that started an immediate flashback to when you were in college? EC: Being on the green probably. Sitting there this morning having the skidmosas and looking out onto the green remembering those parties and, as I said, the music. I remember that Livingston Taylor came and played and there was a piano on the green. JC: I don't remember that, but I remember the gatherings. Some kids played hackey sack, there was always hackeysack, frisbee. Sometimes we would just sit out there and listen to the music, watch everybody come and go. It was nice cause you were all together and didn't have a class. It was all relaxed. �7 Cohen & Carr HS: Anything that as you've come back and see things that you wish were different, or things that you wished changed that you see are still the same? JC: I don't EC: No I see only progress. You know the garden, we were commenting if we would garden, and the answer is probably not. But young people today, college students today are so minded toward that so I only see improvements. The growth and the landscaping is more beautiful, the patios are more wonderful JC: Skidmore to me is like an awesome place and nothing, I would never change anything about it. Um, those places down there EC: Sussman JC: Sussman is reminiscent of what we lived in but is also nice and new. I am always happy to come back. No regrets. The only thing I wish is that we had more of things they have. You know the beautiful museums and the music center we were in today. EC: Zenkel is beautiful, and the tang. JC: We didn't have that. HS: And did either of you study abroad EC: No I didn't, remember, I didn't want to leave. I should have but I was so happy in Saratoga, so happy at Skidmore that I didn't. No. We were both here all four years. JC: I think I was happy to be here. HS: And while you were on campus did you ever break outside the Skidmore bubble, explore Saratoga? JC EC: Always JC: I think we would walk down or take the crazy bus that was offered �8 Cohen & Carr EC: And we went to the battlefield, the Saratoga Battlefield, we would go to Lake George occasionally, explore. Yes we felt that we were in a beautiful, we loved the area. JC: Sometimes we'd go out to dinner together or with another friend. Even as freshmen we would find someplace else to eat besides the dining hall. EC: Yes, the dining hall is a huge step up from our dining hall. Huge step up in looks and quality JC: I remember shrimp cocktail. Every, maybe once a month, they'd put out this huge display of shrimp. Do you recall that? I think I overdosed on shrimp because that would be like the only food I would eat. Seemed the freshest. I had so many shrimp EC: I remember eggs. Always making egg salad from the hard boiled eggs. Yea that's my strongest dining hall memory JC: The shrimp always caught me off guard, like what college has shrimp. My other friends were like, 'you get shrimp in college?' I'm like 'yea' HS: When you went out for dinners in Saratoga was there one place that was kind of the go-to? EC: Madame Jammels for Sunday brunch which I think is gone. The Court Bistro which is also not there. Oh and Hattie's Chicken Shack is still there, we used to go there on Sundays for dinner. Gaffneys of course for wing night. JC: And that was inexpensive EC: Yes. Um Where else did we JC: When our parents were in town we'd make them take us to the expensive restaurants like the Old Bryan Inn. EC: Lillians we went to occasionally JC: What was that place out by the lake? On Saratoga lake �9 Cohen & Carr EC: It's still there. It's big, it almost has a theme to it now. JC: I think it had a water feature on the inside. EC: Yes I think so. What's it called, out on the lake or towards the lake. JC: They had coconut bread as the bread they serve from the beginning and they had a recipe that my mother still has. EC: Oh really? I can't remember the name of that restaurant. JC: Steven [Mosk] took me there on our first date. Big spender that he was. EC: Showing off HS: And have you been to any of these places since you graduated? EC: Definitely. JC: Mrs. Londons we enjoy. Gaffneys. I mean the physical buildings are still there, most of them anyway. EC: So Jennifer and I, because we so love Saratoga and Skidmore, we've come to every reunion and we've also come over the years for a fall trip to meet each other or a spring trip with our moms, did we come once with our moms. So we've definitely stayed very connected. We rented a house one summer we were remembering this morning, 20 years ago, no 19 years ago. Yea so we've stayed very attached and very connected to Skidmore. JC: It's one of our favorite places to be, I think. It makes us happy when we're here. HS: Did you feel like, or has your appreciation of Skidmore or Saratoga change since you left Skidmore? JC: I know I think we still feel, like we come back and we feel we know which streets to go up and down, it feels familiar EC: It's grown quite a bit, the downtown. We definitely reminisce about the way things were before there were more retail chain stores, that's a difference. But it's kept its character and we just love seeing what's new. �10 Cohen & Carr JC: Grand Union's gone. EC: yes JC: Price chopper. What else did we do? We used to go there to get snacks EC: Right. Is the diner still there? Down toward JC: Comptons? EC: No, there was a diner wasn't there? Toward the lake on Broadway? I don't know. HS: So what was an average week like? JC: I remember we would have classes. It wouldn't be a full day of classes. You'd have whatever you chose for your times, for your class schedule. But you'd have a class, a little bit of time off, time to have a lunch break, go back to an afternoon class. Some would have an evening class, some would have a 7 o'clock class. We'd have dinner in between, then library/ study in the room. I was not a very good library goer. And then I think every day was a little different but that was sort of the general them, I don't remember sleeping in. EC: No. And maybe exercising. The athletic center isn't what it is today, but it was really nice in 1984, 85. We played squash, played a lot of squash. Um we watched friends compete in sports. JC: Hockey EC: Yes, hockey games HS: Were the sports a big part of the culture at Skidmore back then? JC: It was small enough that I think you pretty much knew everybody who played a sport and who didn't play a sport so if your friend or girlfriend was playing an important game on campus you'd definitely want to visit and see what they were up to. I don't think I took in too many basketball games, but a few. �11 Cohen & Carr EC: no. Hockey, lacrosse, occasional soccer. JC: Tennis EC: We'd watch tennis. HS: And was that the same with the equestrian team? JC: So the equestrian team didn't really have shows, maybe once a year we'd have shows here so we'd have to travel around. Got to go to Cornell, I've forgotten some of the other places we would go. St. Lawrence, we would drive all the way up there. So it was more off campus, and we'd have to sleep overnight usually which was strange. We'd be in kind of crummy hotels and no bus would take us we'd have to drive in someones personal car which I don't think they do anymore. Probably legal reasons HS: what was it like competing at the collegiate level? JC: That was awesome. The horse back team is a little bit different than a traditional sport. As a team you're not out there at the same time, you're sort of doing it individually to accumulate points as a team. So you were still riding horses like you were normally in your previous life but it was fun to be with a bunch of ladies and men, because it was a co-ed sport so that was pretty neat. EC: Bruce did it with you JC: Yes, I was on the team with Bruce EC: On our freshmen year JC: Yup that's how we got to know each-other a little bit better. But it was a fun thing to do as a co-ed group I guess. And we spent a lot of time traveling back and forth so we would chat about whatever, eat pizza out usually is what we ended up doing but it was kind of fun to see other schools and got to meet the kids at a different level, like we would spend more time with them because we would be hanging at the schools with them. Different �12 Cohen & Carr schools were competing in one arena, you go and you right their horse so you don't know what you're getting until you get there which was the unique part about it. HS: And you did it all four years? JC: I didn't do it my senior year. Three years. I don't know what happened EC: I don't remember JC: I don't remember either. I don't know if it was taking more time than I could spend, or I wanted to diversify cause I ended up being on the government committee. Student government committee. EC: Mmm. SGA, you did do that, I forgot about that. JC: Yea so the student government council? EC: Association I think. SGA? JC: I don't remember. EC: I think JC: And we would sit on disciplinary hearings for students so we were sort of in charge of making disciplinary actions amongst your peers which was a sort of unique experience in itself. HS: Any things from there that remain with you? JC: I remember it being very difficult and I thought it was a challenge to participate in that because you are their peers and we didn't have a court system like you do now. We didn't have a ton of evidence it was more one person speaking for themselves, maybe someone else speaking for or against them. And then we had to decide what the disciplinary action would be. We had a guide and there was definitely a faculty or administrative member on the team. But I don't remember what we listened to to be honest. What kind of crimes they were. EC: What sort of infractions. I don't remember �13 Cohen & Carr JC: There may have been a sexual assault discussion which now would be probably something you hear more often, but back in 1987 or '8, whatever, that was, it was hard I think to understand what was right and what was wrong with facts and evidence HS: and were you part of SGA as well? EC: No I wasn't, I did more volunteer work I remember. I did have an internship at the Hyde Museum. I was thinking about that during my drive here. In the rare book department and that was fun. I would drive to that museum and do some work there but no student government for me. HS: Was the Hyde internship something that you got through Skidmore? EC: Yes it was. I don't remember how, and I don't even remember if it was our junior year or if it was over two years but it was a wonderful museum and I was thinking about it on the way here, if we had more time it would be fun to go back and see that museum. HS: And was that an area that you thought maybe after college that you'd go into? EC: I think I was just exploring more than anything honestly. I liked art, liked books, and it was an opportunity that presented itself so I don't think I really, thirty years ago things were so different. We just didn't think that much about what we would do after college. It's, to look at the wall downstairs of the seniors from this year that have phenomenal jobs in banking and law and medicine and the Your Hired Photos; we commented yesterday, we wouldn't be on that wall. JC: We went to Europe. EC: We went to Europe. HS: For how long were you in Europe? �14 Cohen & Carr JC: Two months. I think a total of eight weeks. Our third friend Claude came with us and we all met at Emily's parents house and they took us to the airport and sent us off on Air-whatever we were on-france? And we had such wonderful experiences cause Claude had an uncle in Paris and we stayed in someones friend's flat and we went to the south of France and stayed with yourEC: My brother's client, yes. And we crossed paths - so maybe students do it still - but we crossed paths with so many Skidmore friends throughout Europe and my kids always grown when I say this but, pre cell phones we would say, 'okay we'll meet you next Tuesday at the fountain at three o'clock' and we did, it worked. It wasn't, 'are you there yet? are you coming? are you sure'. We just made these plans and ran into friends and it was great. We had a great time. JC: And we ran into another classmate, he was the class president, we ran into him at the [museum name] museum? Randomly. So it was definitely something that a lot of graduates were doing at the time. Traveling. EC: Backpacking through Europe. HS: You studied french, so obviously that came in handy. Was there any other things you learned from an actual class at Skidmore or just being a Skidmore student that you felt like prepared you for this unchartered world? JC: I took an art history class, I remember because I didn't know enough about art and art history so I remember seeing some of those things we studied in class in real life and how amazing that was. That I enjoyed, that piece. My business piece sort of applied in the, after our travels I think. EC: But I think just the general Skidmore feeling on campus of being open to experiences and �15 Cohen & Carr JC: that we felt comfortable doing that experience EC: Exactly. Exactly. HS: and what was your average Friday night like? JC: I think usually we wouldn't leave campus until maybe 10pm. 9:30pm? and then go downtown and find a spot to be with all of our friends. There was the Trattoria, we remembered last night, was the three floor storied place with music and a lot of music I think it was. Someone would DJ, sometimes a Skiddie would be DJing. EC: and Barclays which is no longer I think. But that was Tuesday nights I think. JC: That was definitely midweek. Maybe that's why it closed. HS: Were there many nights during the week that you'd go down to these places? JC: Thursday nights we would EC: Thursday nights we went to a bar, it's now called Baileys, it was the grill at the time. I think Tuesday nights was a Barclays night, and Thursday nights was the Grill and Friday night was wherever, or a house party. A lot of people lived off campus our junior and senior years. But late. We definitely stayed. And everything stayed open late. And then late night wings or popcorn at Gaffneys JC: There was that hotdog place that at the window, you'd walk up to a facade there was no place to sit or anything - you'd get your EC: Cheesy fries JC: Something HS: And this is downtown? EC: Downtown. I think it's next to the Tin and Lint still? Maybe it's gone, or next to Gaffneys I don't know. �16 Cohen & Carr HS: And this was going on Freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior year? JC: I know when we first started cause the drinking age was 18, the campus life was a little more vibrant cause you could have alcohol on campus and they allowed you to have keg parties as long as there was an alternate beverage offered. But I think after the drinking age changed there was definitely a shift in how much time we spent our time on campus in the evenings. HS: So it changed while you were in college? JC EC: it did. EC: It went to 21. From 18 to 21. HS: Do you remember what year you guys were? EC: I think it was spring of our freshmen year? Or fall of sophomore year JC: It went to twenty. I think it went to twenty, when we were sophomores and when we were just about to turn twenty it turned twenty-one. HS: So what was that like being students in this place where you had all these freedoms and then to have it crashing down? JC: It was, we felt annoyed by that because, you're from NY, I wasn't from NY so it was already 21 at home. But at school I was allowed to drink alcohol and then you come back from winter break and you're no longer allowed legal. And they didn't grandfather anyone in, maybe they did for New York people? EC: I don't think so because I remember thinking that it was just so wrong, and being so irritated by that, 'how can you let us drink for 6 months and then all of a sudden you say you can't drink anymore'. JC: It did disrupt the feeling of the town I think and I think the town businesses suffered as well because they couldn't let us in. HS: Did that put any strain on your relationship with the school? EC JC: no no �17 Cohen & Carr JC: No, they just had to follow the rules, so the party size changed where - oh yea I forgot, I was the Bud rep on campus our senior year. So we would (laughs) - Spuds McKenzie EC: I forgot about that JC: You were not even born then. So there was an Annheiser Busch distributor not far in Saratoga and I worked directly with the distributor and each party would have to go through the rep to acquire their alcoholic beverages so I would help them supply them with a cool, a kegerator kind of thing where you hook up the kegs to it. So I'd go and set up the kegs and attach them all. But in the beginning you used to have like a ten keg party and then when the drinking age went from 20 to 21 it was down to like a four keg party and then they stopped offering keg parties on campus after I left. But the Spuds McKenzie thing, we had like swag we'd hand out, t-shirts. It's kind of funny I forgot about that experience. I had to diversify didn't I, from the horse team. I was on SGA and the Bud rep at the same time. HS: I guess looking back if you could tell yourself one piece of advice going forward is there anything you would have changed? EC: Maybe the study abroad. Even though we traveled, I think that having children who have studied abroad I think that I should've done that, but I don't regret it. Definitely not. I made the choice, I loved Skidmore, I loved Saratoga and wanted my four years here. Couldn't think about missing a fall here or a spring here, even the winters ya know now I can't stand winter but, and we got feet and feet of snow. You still do, I'm sure. But it wasn't a big deal. So that's probably the one thing that maybe I would say, 'oh, you should've gone to Paris' JC: I think that I would tell myself to pay a little closer to my studies, to you know use my time a little more wisely as a student. But also participate in �18 Cohen & Carr all the school has to offer, don't miss out on both things. I think my studying could've been better. But it was fine. It all was good. EC: It all worked out. HS: Great, and any last great stories you didn't get a chance to tell? JC: I don't know, we had so many fun times together just, our other girlfriend Claude joining us in some of the fun and being part of each-others lives is always a fun story but I don't know if theres one specific. EC: No, just such an intimacy that we really are family, you know I love that as I said, we didn't have creative thought matters, but we did. It just wasn't called that. And we didn't have hashtags but I love that hashtag Skid4Life. Because we are Skidmore sisters and just in each-others lives because of our experience here. Our kids are in each-others lives, our husbands. Four of us, another girlfriend who's here at reunion and Claude, the one in Colorado, the eight of us - with our husbands - went to Las Vegas to celebrate our fiftieth birthdays so that was a real Skidmore reunion. JC: And we met up with a fifth friend who lives out in that area, so that was really fun having ten of us together and it felt like we had been together every month but some of us haven't seen each-other in 20 years or only every five years. So its just great. HS: That's wonderful, well I think that just about wraps it up. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

JV: Sure, my name is Jacob DeLeon Navarrete. I graduated in 2008. I was a double major in psychology and history. I focused on existential psychology with Sheldon Solomon and I worked with Jennifer Delton in American History, mostly focusing on the civil rights era all the way back to colonial period. ER: Wow that's amazing. And where are you from? JV: Dallas, Texas. ER: Dallas, Texas. Wow I always wanted to take an existential psychology class with Sheldon and I never got to fit it in. JV: Yeah, he's... I got really lucky because he was my advisor when I first started as a student. So I took LS1 with him, I don't know if you guys still do LS1 or not, but he was my LS1 teacher and I really just connected with him. At the time I wasn't going to be a psychology major. I had come in interested in doing pre-med but quickly learned that other peoples' blood freaks me out so being a doctor was not necessarily the best path for me. And I had always been very interested in human behavior and what drives human choices and an intersection of psychology and philosophy seemed really cool and anyone who’s ever seen Sheldon Solomon knows that he’s a captivating person. So it was kind of hard to not have chosen that. When I think about the person that I was coming to college and then having the opportunity to engage with such interesting minds, I was very influenced by those elements more so than a real passion for the subject matter, that grew as I began to dig deeper into the actual academic component of it. ER: Wow that's really great. I guess since we already started talking about it... Can you talk about what it was like being head tour guide? �3 JV: Oh. So I... When I got to Skidmore I really didn't know what to do. Being from Texas, not knowing anyone here, I tried very hard to make sense of the community and that meant I did a lot of activities I tried to learn where buildings were, and I saw an opportunity to be a tour guide. They made the first option available to first year students in second semester. So I applied for it and I was really excited about it. I was hired as a tour guide and there was something about being able to share my passion for Skidmore that I really enjoyed. And so, I was a tour guide pretty much in the earliest moment possible. And because I was from far away I spent some summers on campus and I was a summer tour guide. And by the time I was a Junior I had been hired as one of the co-head tour guides. And I spent my junior and my senior year running the tour guide program. It was really interesting to see that element of higher education because it wasn't about me. It was about these other people. And I think a lot of students view tour guiding as a job. And it is, it's a great way to make some extra cash, have an opportunity to pick up a couple skills if you haven't already. But very few people I think approach it as community service. And that's kind of how I approached it. Don't get me wrong, enjoyed the pay check, very much appreciated the work. But I loved it because I was giving students the opportunity to see the institution the way that I did. And I knew it wasn't going to be right for every student, but the student who it was right for, they would fall in love. And it was also really cool to see students come in as first year students, during my third or fourth year, who I had given a tour to and who really responded to the way Skidmore was presented to them. So, it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed being able to share my experience in the community with people who probably would have never thought to ask me about Skidmore because I don't think I represent the average Skidmore student, particularly not in 2000. ER: Wow I have so many questions. So, you loved Skidmore a lot? JV: Oh yeah, I was a student senator right out of the gate, they always have the three spots, at least my time it was three spots, available for freshman students. So I ran. The funny thing was only three of us ran and I had the lowest number of votes. It was really interesting. �4 ER: Yeah. JV: But I got really involved with student senate. I was the very last coordinator of diversity affairs before there was a vice president of diversity affairs, that was the person who followed me. But I eventually realized that student government was not what was right for me. And that's when I shifted from having my hands in a bunch of things to focusing on working in the admissions office and as I got older I just spent less time doing things that were for the sake of doing it and more time focused on the things I was really interested in. And student government was fun, but I think it's best done by the people who want to devote energy in ways that I don't think I have the patience for, in a certain sense. But tour guiding is... the patience that you have to have is a very different kind of patience. ER: What do you mean by that? JV: So the patience you have to have for student government I would say is the same for politics. ER: Yeah. JV: You have to suffer everyone. No one is wrong. Everyone's opinion and perspective is important because you're representing everyone. And so, student government being representative of government, you have to listen you have to take into consideration things that you don't believe, people that you don't agree with. And that's great that we have individuals that are willing to put themselves through that. I think the saying is, "People who are willing to suffer fools." As a tour guide, you suffer fools in a completely different way. Your goal is to help people see what you see. And for a lot of tour guides, they just lie. I'm not saying that happens at Skidmore per say, but just in general you go to a museum they're going to spin the best story possible. But you don't have to. A really good tour guide doesn't lie. They find ways to respond to your question in truth, but hopefully, if they're perceptive enough, they �5 know what you're really asking and can come around to address how the school handles that issue. When parents ask questions about drinking, what they're really asking about is safety. No parent thinks that kids don't drink in college. It happens. It's just what happens in the United States. So, the real question is, "Is my child going to be safe while they're participating in activities? Are they going to feel like they're forced to participate in activities? So a tour guide who isn't thinking that far ahead will say, "There's no parties." Or, "Nothing is under age." Or, "People get in trouble." But that's not true. A smart tour guide would respond that Skidmore is the type of place where students can make whatever choices that they feel comfortable making, that Skidmore provides a really safe environment to do so, there are tremendous amounts of opportunities for students who don't want drugs or alcohol, all sorts of programming... That's how you respond to that question. You don't say people don't party. You don't say everyone parties. Or whatever the easiest answer is. And that's just one example of why I think I was much more interested in being a tour guide than being in student government. ER: Yeah definitely. Yeah, I think tour guides sell Skidmore as more diverse than it actually is. Because Skidmore includes in its numbers, in its percentages, international students, everyone who's international is counted in the diversity percentage, which doesn't make sense because not everyone who's in the international percentage... some of them are white and they're thrown into that percentage to make it seem more inclusive than it is. So it's like, "Are you lying? Are you giving that percentage?" But I think some tour guides try to give that number and pretend... or try to tell this lie. JV: I think that's also a reflection of the difference between the institution internally and the institution externally. So, I ended up being an admissions officer here for three and a half years. So I was a tour guide and then got hired as an admissions officer. And I think when institutions utilize percentages to craft a certain narrative, it's usually a reflection of the industry more than an individual office. It's very common for schools to include international students in their diversity numbers because colleges try to have the most broad definition of diversity. And that �6 can be problematic sometimes when people are really asking, "How many white people are here?" Right? And I think it's fair to ask that question, versus how diverse are you? Because diversity is a cop out word. Right? You can have diversity with a bunch of white men. There can be a lot of diversity in the way you think, how you see the world, right? So including international students in the diversity number makes sense if what you're saying is, we have a lot of different people from different experiences and walks of life. But we also know that that's not what people are really asking when they say diversity. And so that's the internal versus external tension. It's the same thing that when we use graduation rates. We say it out of six years but it's really out of four. But four isn't as nice so everyone does it out of six. ER: What's the out of six? JV: So most four-year graduation rates are actually out of six years. ER: Oh oh. JV: Yeah. But they factor in taking breaks, going abroad, switching your major. ER: That's okay. JV: Right but people think it's the four-year rate. ER: Yeah. JV: And it's not the four-year rate it's the six-year rate. That's what the government does for a degree. So being an admission officer gave me the opportunity to learn a lot about how colleges function as institutions relative to how they function for students. And it gave me a really good view into how a class is made. And I think a lot of students have a completely misguided notion as to how they got into college. I think if you were to ask the average �7 Skidmore student, "How'd you get into college?" "Oh yeah I worked hard. I did well in school." It's like, "No that's not why you got into Skidmore. It isn't. You fit exactly what the institution was looking for at that year." And at a place now where they're taking 25% of the students who apply, it's even more so, "We need this particular subset of people to have the class that we're looking for." You didn't get in, it's more of a reflection, not of your ability or not of your strengths, it's, "You just didn't have what we were looking for this year. If you apply next year, you might get in. If you applied the year before, you might get in. It's just this year. There were a lot of girls with brown hair and blue eyes who played soccer and were violinists. Sorry." That's the flip side of access. Everybody's going to apply. That's what makes it much harder to get in. Admissions officers are humans. They're not machines. Some students are just going to stand out to them. So, it was an interesting experience to learn. It helped me better contextualize myself instead of thinking, "Oh I have this because..." I could step back and say, "Well, there are probably plenty of other people who were just as good or whatever the reason." I'm a college counselor now, among other things, and so having that knowledge in the back of my head really helps when I talk with students who don't get into their schools of choice. It's not a reflection of you, it's a reflection of the school. ER: Yeah so, I wanted to ask, that's actually a good leeway, what are you doing now? JV: So right now, I am the associate head of upper school at the Auckland School in Dallas Texas. It's a Montessori and international baccalaureate school, educating students from 18 months to 18 years. And we actually just had our first graduating seniors. So the schools been around for over 50 years but had stopped at 6th grade for a long time and stopped at 8th grade about 15 years ago. That's when they opened the middle school and so we opened the upper school four years ago. And so I handle all the college counseling, student life, and now as the associate head, pretty much everything. I'm just very deeply involved with what goes on. And I feel very happy to say that I had a student who was accepted to Skidmore. She didn't choose to attend but it was nice to have that be one of our first seniors apply and then be admitted to Skidmore. So that's what I do. �8 ER: Wow that's amazing. Yeah it feels like, from what you've said, everything that you've done at Skidmore helped you get to... JV: Where I am? ER: And then your admissions position at Skidmore and now you're really a... leadership role... JV: There's no doubt that my time at Skidmore was fundamental for who I am as a person. I just finished my masters degree at Stanford and the most interesting element of that was how often my undergraduate experience was really useful. And I think that my belief in creative thought mattering has really been an important perspective when dealing with problem solving, dealing with people. Just remembering that you have to be creative. And usually when you remember to be creative it reminds you to be patient. And that has been really valuable for me as a person. Skidmore has really been critical to the person that I am. I wouldn't say that it defines me, but I also can't think of myself without it. So I wouldn't be surprised if I find myself with a job here again as my last job or something. Like I really did love my time here and I love what they do for students. And that's why I do what I do, because I had a great college experience and I want that for every other person. I want every human to have the time of undergraduate experience that I did. Because if you had asked me at 17 if I'd be doing what I'm doing now... No, not at all. A 17-year-old Jacob would look at 32 year old Jacob and say, "What are you doing with yourself? Working at a high school? With teenagers?" But 32-year-old Jacob can look back at 17 year old Jacob and say "You just don't know enough about life. You don't know enough about you yet." And my time at Skidmore helped me learn so much about myself. Because there's something about the community and the campus that encourages you to explore internally and externally. ER: Something about the campus? �9 JV: I think that the combination of the campus layout, all the trees, the green spaces, the Northwoods, the general approach to student development and student learning, mixed with... at least this was my time, I can't speak for Skidmore today but... When I was a student there was some sort of open mindedness, of not necessarily non-judgmental, but much more flexible with what you chose to do. A certain unspoken encouragement to figure out what you wanted to do and to be okay with that. I will also admit that in 2004, the entering class, the standards shifted dramatically from the class of 2005. Just from an admissions stand point., the selectivity was dramatically different. So a lot of us that graduated in 2008, we feel like we're the last class of the old Skidmore, before Skidmore became a place where everybody wanted to go, and no one got in. I think my freshman year, our acceptance rate was something like 40% and now it's like 20%, in ten years, 15 years. That's a really big difference and that says a lot about the type of student that goes here. And I don’t think that that shift, I hope not, has not impacted that desire, that curiosity, that openness to explore yourself, to figure things out. The number of people I saw who came in Skidmore one way and left Skidmore a very different way, but so authentically... I don't know if that was just the common college growth that happens everywhere... I don't think so. I think what happens here is very special. And places like Skidmore... I don't think Skidmore is the only place on the planet that does it. I think there's something about a liberal arts college on a beautiful campus with faculty who really want to engage in the learning and development of students. That produces something special. But I think you add that to Skidmore's history as an all-women’s institution, Skidmore's history as an art school, Skidmore's history as an institution believing in creative thought. I think all of that together allows for that internal exploration, almost a permission to explore yourself. And then externally I think that marketing itself to students who are looking for something different it does produce more opportunity to dig. And maybe not be so afraid about it. Because I feel like a lot of students at giant universities, they kind of wake up and realize they’re not the person they want to be. I’m not saying that doesn't happen at Skidmore, but for the kids that that does happen here, there's more opportunity for you to be like “Oh okay I’m going to find some new people.” I just don’t know if that happens in schools that are more anonymous. �10 ER: I think it's been changing, a lot of people have been coming for the business department. JV: It's very famous. ER: Yeah and I don’t know if it was the same when you were here...? JV: It was just starting. Because I think also... I think a big factor was Fall 2008, the economy crashing, Leeman Brothers, all of that., changes the world. when I was a senior in college you didn’t have to have a job, you didn’t have to know what you were doing. I had a summer job. I fell into the admissions office. That was normal 10 years ago. Now, if you don’t have everything lined up in January you're completely screwed. So I also think the changes in the students coming to Skidmore is a reflection of both how strong the business department actually is but also because you can do business here and art and it’s not going to pull you one way or the other. A lot of other schools that have a business school or business program the other things are secondary, they just are, but here it’s not. And so I do think that that’s probably part of why that shift has been happening but hasn’t completely over thrown the college. Because I think in the world we live in today, it could be even more of a business orientation. But I think it’s the strength in music, the strength in visual art, the strength in dance, the strength in the social sciences, the strength in the foreign languages, the strength in English. There's so many quality nonprofessional programs here, and I mean that in relation to professional degrees like an MBA or a Doctor of Social Work or a doctor of exercise. that’s what I mean by professional as opposed to the more general term, allows for that dichotomy and the slowing down of the change, because you do see a lot of liberal arts colleges, there’s a big shift. you see a lot of liberal arts colleges just get eaten up bigger universities because people don’t see the value anymore because people don’t see the value anymore. ER: Yeah, I hope that it doesn't change, I'm worried. JV: It's fair to be worried I think. �11 ER: Is there any memory that has come up as you've been here? JV: I mean that was the crazy part. Myself and a friend who came up, when we first got to campus we just walked around. And that’s what happened for 45 minutes, just like "Oh my god this" and "Oh my god that." And I think a lot of stuff occurred, a lot of memories, a lot of crazy memories, but I think the one that probably shocked me the most was., or surprised me by how overwhelming it was, was actually something that I didn’t even remember until I was reliving the experience. So as a psychology and history major almost all my classes were in Tisch (Learning Center). I was a Tisch kid. I was always in Tisch. I called it the “ology building” when I was a tour guide, even though history isn’t an ology, and I would literally say that, "although history isn't an ology." There is the walkway out of Tisch leading to Palamountain (Hall) where the early childhood center is, right there’s that L covered walkway and all the honey suckle. The smell of the honey suckle got me. Because I forgot how much that smell was constant, how strong that smell is, and how often I smelled it. In context to walking from one building to the other. I was frozen when the smell hit my nostrils and all of these memories just washed over very quickly. Particularly I used to do observation in the early childhood center. I was a sophomore and I was taking a child development class. Because at the time I thought I was going to be more focused on childhood development but not at all, I ended up not doing that at all. But that was a really interesting semester for me because I had never engaged with children, and so the combination of the smells and just how much that time influenced me, one way or the other. So I think that was probably the biggest memory. It was also just to go walk around and see which professors were still here and which ones are not still here. It was also nice to see there was more diversity in the faculty, I can tell there’s not much now. but when I was here there was none. I didn't have a single male of color teach me at Skidmore. Maybe I had one female of color teach me. I knew there was a male psychology professor, Hassan Lopez, who I didn’t have until my final year. He was actually the first male of color that I had I’m pretty sure. I could be wrong about that, but it was so few that... but then looking around and seeing that there were a handful more teachers of color, said something. now, I’ll be honest, two percent of the population has a PhD. so were already looking at a very small section of �12 people. when you look at the cross section of education, there just aren’t that many PhDs that are black, or Mexican, or anything that isn’t white. so that’s not necessarily a reflection of Skidmore, but Skidmore could work harder at really finding diverse faculty if they wanted to. so, there’s always a tension one way or the other. But it was nice to see new faces, it was nice to see new scholarship from people who are not the standard professorial type. that was really cool to see. ER: Yeah Skidmore needs to work on its retention. JV: Yeah it does. ER: What else would you like to see improve at Skidmore? JV: I love this place. I just want to see Skidmore not be so slow about what it does. I loved seeing the signs on campus letting visitors know, this is renewable, or this is sustainable, or we have this goal. I saw the goal of 25% food sustainability by 2025. why isn’t it 50%? why isn’t it 75%? obviously that’s ambitious and it would require a lot of thoughtful changes, but Skidmore is the type of place in my opinion where there are so many creative people here that there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be pushing themselves harder. I would love to see the administration push back on some of the faculty who are not as tolerant as they think they are. that’s one thing that I do know is true. I have kept enough in touch that there have been some issues in town with students of color and I was very disappointed in how the administration responded to that. I was very disappointed to see that there was not a 100% defense of the students. Period. The students were students. Even if they were wrong which they weren’t. but even if they were wrong, I feel like if they were rich white students, it would have been a whole different response. and I don’t think that anyone made that decision deliberately, but that’s what bias is. you don’t see that you would treat someone else differently because of some immutable factor. If they were rich white kids, "Oh we have to be careful about the parents. the politics involved...". well why isn’t that same consideration given to a poor brown or black kid? �13 they have just as much value as a person right? and again I’m not saying that this is Skidmore only, this is the world we live in, but I think Skidmore could do a better job. particularly since they have a commitment at least in words, to bring in diversity, to bring in a variety of people. like I loved seeing that the opportunity program is now one big unit. Because when I was a student it was HEOP and AOP, no one really knew what AOP was, all the HEOP kids were clumped together because they were from New York City. And it was nice that they were on campus, but they were completely ostracized from everyone else. No one intended to do that but that’s what it was. And so as a student of color who was in neither program, it was weird. So now to see that all the opportunity programs are all together, there’s a whole place for them. That just made me feel like okay this is the kind of action that I want to see. Why did it take so long? I was sad to see that some of the administrators who have left, why they’ve left… That made me kind of sad. But I think it is important to remind the Skidmore community that you can’t rest on your laurels. That just because you are better in a lot of ways than other institutions that doesn’t mean that you get to slow down, that doesn’t mean you get to set targets that everyone else should set. That I’m disappointed by. But not disappointed enough to not care, but just be like, “Hey.” Like you know when you get disappointed in your friends who don’t live up to their potential? That's kind of how I feel sometimes. That we could be pushing ourselves more. We could be doing more. We could be having more courageous conversations with ourselves, with each other, around these sensitive issues. Like it was great to see a Black Lives Matter thing in Case Center. That’s great. But do the Black lives here actually feel like they matter? Because there was a time when I was a student where a lot of black lives didn't feel like they mattered as much. I never really felt that. But just because I don’t doesn’t mean it’s not true for other people. So that’s why I would say I would want to push Skidmore, particularly in a place like Saratoga Springs that's very different than the people who come to school here. We could be fostering more education, more awareness. I don’t mean tolerance in the sense of just accepting. But I really mean like, “You have wrong beliefs because you’re not educated in the right things so let’s provide you more education.” Let’s give you more opportunities to step outside your comfort zone. Because people believe things �14 because they don’t have anything else to counter that belief. They have no experience, no exposure. There is so much here that could make Saratoga better and they don’t do enough. ER: We really don’t engage in Saratoga. JV: And I will admit, I know enough to know that the town doesn’t really want them to. But that doesn’t mean you accept it. That doesn’t mean you say, "Okay you don't want us then fine." There are enough educated, thoughtful, powerful, rich people in this community, Skidmore's community. They could be on seats in the board in town. They could be actively engaged in changing Saratoga. But they don’t want to. So that’s what I mean by pushing more. ER: And it's even true for pushing faculty more. Faculty and staff showed up though... JV: That must mean they want to try. I feel like, the one thing that I want younger people like you to hear, because I was where you were at some point, I'm on my way to that other point, young people are impatient, you are. Because for you, you see the way... It’s like "This is how it should be! Why is it not?" And that's great, never lose that. But just remember that as you get older, you begin to understand why things are older, that doesn’t just defy it. But I guess try to find the wins. Because the story you just said, makes me think, "Okay, at least the staff want to engage." Maybe enough kids didn't come, but the fact that there were a lot of staff members who came, that says that there's a willingness to have the conversation and that’s huge. And my fear is that young people, the younger people, haven’t lived enough to recognize, haven't lived enough to recognize how much it is to get someone to come to the table. And that open mindedness is a lot more difficult than you think. I have found a lot of progressives and liberals are some of the most closeminded people I’ve ever met because they think they’re right. And I’ll admit I use to be like that when i was young, I was like, " I’m right. Why would I be openminded? I’m open-minded because I’m right!" Actually, if you think that you're right, you’re not open-minded. So let’s talk about... Do we really want open-minded-ness? Is it actually a good thing? Or do we want closemindedness that’s correct? I don’t know I’m just saying that it’s important that young people just recognize that experience does dictate how you see the �15 world. And even in my own job, I had seven things I wanted to do this year, I got three of them done and I learned, I was like, "You know what? I’m going to be proud of those three things because everybody else is super proud of them. I’m the only one that’s mad that I didn’t get to do all seven. And my boss was like, "Jacob, we only have room as people, for three things a year. You want to do more than 3 things? take away something," just, that’s something that I’ve had to learn and grow with. But don’t ever lose the passion. just, almost forgive yourself as you move through it. Because you’re going to get a point where you’re going to be 30 and you’re going to realize, "Oh there's so much more." And that’s not to excuse slowness, that’s not to excuse behavior, but I think it does help from becoming a state of despair. I feel like a lot of young people after the election were in a state of despair. And rightfully so it was a despairing moment for a lot of people. But it’s been almost two years now. were in the second year, right? were still here, were alive, people are fighting. it’s an awareness now and that’s valuable. That’s more valuable than if she had won and people didn’t know that they lived in the world they live in. And so being able to have this dialogue about Skidmore, if nothing else, the people who are interested in making change at Skidmore listen to all the different people have all these different opinions and stories and histories about Skidmore, if you really want to make it a better place, listen to what people have said. Don’t just take what they’re saying as truth, but listen to the whole thing. What’s the points that seem to be sticking out? And how does that relate to what the students right now are saying? What’s the parallel? What’s the dissonance? It’s hard to be a leader. It’s easy to want to lead. It’s very hard to actually lead. But I’m excited to see how Skidmore plays out over the next 10 years, see what kinds of students come here, what changes happen, what changes don’t happen. Because there’s some things what just shouldn’t change, but it shouldn’t not change simply because they don't want it to. There should be a reason that it stays the same. If you can’t come up with that reason, then it’s got to change. And I think any alum would be okay with it changing for the right reason. So I’m excited to see how it all plays out. ER: I’m excited to see what you do. �16 JV: Oh well thank you. That's very nice. ER: Thank you so much. JV: My pleasure. ER: This was really great. JV: Absolutely. I enjoyed it. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Skidmore Saratoga Memory Project Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Audio, Photo Language A language of the resource English (eng.) Description An account of the resource Navarrete, '08, from Dallas, Texas, graduated with a double major in psychology and history, focusing on existential psychology with Sheldon Solomon and American History with Jennifer Delton. He started working with Prof. Solomon in LS1 (Liberal Studies 1, an interdisciplinary course formerly required of all students), and soon began work as a tour guide. Eventually running the tour guide program, Navarrete both made connections on campus and was able to share his passion for the college. He joined SGA as a student senator in his first year, and was the last coordinator of diversity affairs, before the position became a Vice President of diversity affairs. After graduating from college, he worked in admissions and learned about how classes are shaped and chosen, and is current the associate head of upper school at the Auckland School, a Montessori school, in Dallas Texas. He recently finished a master's degree at Stanford University. He particularly values what he felt was a non-judgmental atmosphere with "unspoken encouragement" to experiment, have curiosity, 'explore yourself, to figure things out." He noted a shift in recruitment between 2004 and 2005, with Skidmore becoming increasingly selective, and wonders how classes following his fare that way. Back on campus, the smell of honeysuckle outside Tisch Learning Center, brought back memories of observation in the Early Childhood Center next door in Palamountain Hall. He welcomed increasing diversity on the faculty, as he had taken no classes from a male of color and only one female of color as professors. He would like to see more, faster, change on diversity, and welcomes the combination of the AOP and HEOP (opportunity programs) on campus.

This is the content date field that will display. 1949 (revision of 1939 map) Date Depicted (Numeric) Date that the information on the item depicts. In many cases, this will be the same date as that in the date field, but there will be exceptions. For example, a historical map drawnin 1890 might show Saratoga Springs as it was in 1820. Or, the information on the map itself might include detailed information that enables us to extrapolate a date, for example, "based on a survey done in 1841." Many State Archives map catalog records refer to this as the "situation date." 1949 Date Published (Display) Text version of the date field -- can handle non-numeric characters (ca. 1850s, [1844]). This is the date field that will display. 1949 (revision of 1939 map) Date Published (Numeric) Date the item was printed. This will be set as a date field, accommodating only numbers. The field will be able to handle single dates or date ranges. This will not display, but will be indexed and searchable. 1949 Repository Name of the repository that holds the original item. Geography and Map Division, Library of Congress Saratoga Room, Saratoga Springs Public Library Scope Tiered geographical location (for example: United States, New York State, Saratoga County, Saratoga Springs, Congress Park). This field is here for two reasons: first, to present, at its narrowest level, the scope of the entire item (in other words, not every place name has to be listed here). Second, this field will allow for accurate and helpful narrowing and broadening of geographic searches. City Abstract (& Historical Note) Natural language description of the map itself, providing a general summary of the map and noting significant features. This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. This map is an updated version of the previous 1939 version. A few differences included are depicted with zone numbers the city reservoir, new, library, casino community center, junior high addition, new playground, two possible playfields, new housing, new street, possible highway, possible parking area, improved sewage pump station, and a village brook drain. Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map. Multiple terms can be used in this field. City Plan Outline maps Property maps Road maps Theme For browsing purposes, we are borrowing and adapting themes from the Library of Congress's American Memory project.

(Zach) Mooring Jordana Dym Emily Sloan Subject - Details This subject field describes the amount of detail in a map. For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field.

Abstract (& Historical Note) Natural language description of the map itself, providing a general summary of the map and noting significant features. This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. This color pictorial map is a fold-out brochure created by the Saratoga Springs Chamber of Commerce to serve tourists. Recto: The brochure titled "Visit Saratoga Springs: King of Resorts, Queen of Spas" promises "Recreation and Relaxation" in Saratoga. The top panels of the brochure detail some of the summer highlights of Saratoga Springs (eg. Saratoga Lake, horse racing, golf courses, spas, and historic sites). There is an inset map that details the modes of transport to access Saratoga Springs (by motor, rail, or air). The bottom half of the brochure outlines winter attractions in Saratoga (eg. skating, Skidmore College Winter Carnival, bowling etc.) as well as year-round activities (eg. ice fishing, baths, concerts, and dining). Black and white drawings accompany each activity/site outlined in the brochure. Verso: This side of the brochure includes a colored map as well as a list of "points of interest." The map focuses on downtown Saratoga Springs and offers an outline of streets (not drawn to scale) and modes of transport to and from the city. Larger than life-size drawings depict iconography of Saratoga Springs (eg. golf course, race horses, colonial solider from the Battle of Saratoga 1777, boating on Saratoga Lake, and mineral springs). The points of interest key (that uses numbers to mark important sites) offer brief explanations of the attractions/activities of Saratoga during the summer as well as offer information about the public or private accessibility of the attraction. Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map. Multiple terms can be used in this field. Pictorial maps Tourist maps Color maps Subject - Details This subject field describes the amount of detail in a map. For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field.

Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. Plats – scale divisions of land or property – are an important form of urban cartography. Three versions of this 1810 plat, one of the earliest of Saratoga Springs, show founder Gideon Putnam’s properties shortly before his death, mapping out Saratoga Springs’ transition from rural land to urban settlement. Putnam and his wife Doanda settled in the area 1789. As he cleared his several hundred acres, Putnam found a number of springs along the fault line, realized their potential, and established Putnam’s Tavern and Boarding House in 1802, beginning Saratoga Springs’ rise as a tourist destination and thriving resort center. The Scott map is both foundational and influential. It exists in as an elegant original, drawn in red and black, in the New York State Archives. There are at least two later versions, all of them manuscript (hand-drawn): an 1825 copy, drawn by G.G. Scott, son of the original surveyor and held by Saratoga County; and a twentieth-century tracing, with a few buildings added for good measure, in the City Historian’s Office. This plat continued to be cited in property cases well into the 20th century. Theme For browsing purposes, we are borrowing and adapting themes from the Library of Congress's American Memory project.

Title A name given to the resource Mapping Saratoga Springs Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1700- Map Cartographic document Repository Name of the repository that holds the original item. Saratoga County Historian's Office (Saratoga County, N.Y.) Date Published (Numeric) Date the item was printed. This will be set as a date field, accommodating only numbers. The field will be able to handle single dates or date ranges. This will not display, but will be indexed and searchable. 1825 Date Published (Display) Text version of the date field -- can handle non-numeric characters (ca. 1850s, [1844]). This is the date field that will display. 1825 Date Depicted (Numeric) Date that the information on the item depicts. In many cases, this will be the same date as that in the date field, but there will be exceptions. For example, a historical map drawnin 1890 might show Saratoga Springs as it was in 1820. Or, the information on the map itself might include detailed information that enables us to extrapolate a date, for example, "based on a survey done in 1841." Many State Archives map catalog records refer to this as the "situation date." 1810 Date Depicted (Display) Text version of the date field -- can handle non-numeric characters (ca. 1850s, [1844]). This is the content date field that will display. 1810 Record Contributor Individual who prepared the item and/or edited it. Jordana Dym Allie Smith Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map. Multiple terms can be used in this field. Aerial views Property maps Related Maps There will be many cases where multiple maps are in effect only slight variations on a single original. If we are certain, or even pretty sure, that one map is just a slightly altered version of another,the related versions should be listed here. This is an 1825 copy of the 1810 Scott map, with the same title and several additions/modifications, It is in the Saratoga Springs County Historian's Office. A 20th century illustrated copy, is in the Saratoga City Historian's office, and an elegant, colored ms. is in the NY State Library. Abstract (& Historical Note) Natural language description of the map itself, providing a general summary of the map and noting significant features. This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. The original Scott map is both foundational and influential. It inspired at least two later versions, all of them manuscript (hand-drawn): this 1825 copy, drawn by G.G. Scott, son of the original surveyor and held by Saratoga County. Since the map is cited in the 1826 charter incorporating Saratoga Springs, perhaps G.G. Scott made it to help establish the corporation line. This map, drawn to indicate the properties belonging to Gideon Putnam, served as a document to detail the inheritance of his heirs after his death. This map is particularly damaged and several tears have compromised the readability. Road widths are indicated in some instances. This copy is drawn by G.G. Scott, son of the original mapmaker, It includes pencil annotations suggesting later city planners or agents consulted this original as property ownership changed and the lot was further divided. Scope Tiered geographical location (for example: United States, New York State, Saratoga County, Saratoga Springs, Congress Park). This field is here for two reasons: first, to present, at its narrowest level, the scope of the entire item (in other words, not every place name has to be listed here). Second, this field will allow for accurate and helpful narrowing and broadening of geographic searches. Property Theme For browsing purposes, we are borrowing and adapting themes from the Library of Congress's American Memory project. Property and Development Subject - Details This subject field describes the amount of detail in a map. For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field. Bath House (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) Boarding House (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) Compass rose Congress Bath (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) Meeting House (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) Property School House (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) Subject - Geographic Library of Congress subject headings. For maps: for major geographic locations depicted on the map, followed, in nearly every case, by the "Maps" genre subheading. (For example, "Saratoga Springs (N.Y.) -- Maps.") This field will be especially important when the records from this collection are incorporated into larger databases and catalogs. Saratoga Springs (N.Y.) Subject - Name Names of individuals associated with the item. Last name first. For Maps: People represented on the map itself. In nearly every case, this field will be used when people are pictured on the map (several maps in this project are decorated with photographs or engravings in the margins).

Seeking to reinvent its image and assert its place as an upstate New York hub, town leaders started several projects, working with state officials, to conserve the mineral springs and bring the visitors back. A defining moment for the town’s revitalization came with its incorporation as a city in 1915, which capped a period of municipal conservation efforts and a new era of mapping and zoning. 100 years since the city charter was signed, this exhibit tells the city’s origins and growth through its maps. Map Stories of Saratoga Springs Maps chart the tale of Saratoga Springs' settlement, establishment as a separate district within the town of Saratoga in 1819, erection as an independent village in 1826, and receipt of a city charter from New York State in 1915. Maps also reveal what mattered to visitors and residents: parks and parking, routes and roads, attractions and business, land and buildings, planning and development, what worked and what should change.. 250 Years of Saratoga Springs History Saratoga Springs History Museum 1 E Congress St Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 www.saratogahistory.org Exhibit Website: http:://ssmp.skidmore.edu/ Centennial Anniversary of the City of Saratoga Springs �2 1 Timeline The Past Through Maps The citizens of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., might think of making a map in order to influence policy (Figure 1) or of consulting one to plan a trip or to showcase in homes, schools and libraries (Figure 2). But maps also reveal a lot about the communities that made them--their ideas and values, their way of seeing the world, their hopes and dreams. In other words, maps tell stories. Accessible by Native American trails as early as the 17th century, the springs of Saratoga and the settlement that grew around them began to find their way onto many kinds of maps--official surveys, city plans, tourist guides, and real estate brochures with late-18th c. European settlement. Small-scale and large scale, businesslike or humorous, black & white or color, these historical maps provide details or data about the city's past. Maps takes us through Saratoga Springs' history from its origins as a crossroads between Canada, New York and New England and a draw for the healing power of its mineral waters to its present day as a lively spot for meetings, nightlife, and recreation. 1777 Battle of Saratoga 1789 Gideon Putnam arrived in Saratoga Springs 1791 Saratoga County established 1803 Putnam’s Boarding House built 1819

  Saratoga  Springs  became  a  city  at  a  time  when  reinvent-­‐ tion  and  renewal  were  on  state  and  local  leaders’  minds.     The  1915  State  Reservation  Commission  report  mapped   out  plans  to  preserve  and  revive  use  of  the  town’s  mineral   springs,  in  a  new,  modern  resort  in  what  is  now  the  Sara-­‐ toga  Spa  State  Park.    The  City  Charter  reconfirmed  the   territory  of  Saratoga  Springs  and  its  “corporation  line.”     The  Spirit  of  Life  celebrated  the  contributions  of  Spencer   Trask  and  marked  the  newly  public  space  of  Congress  Park.   Over  its  history,  Saratoga  Springs  has  produced  many   maps  that  tell  the  community’s  story.    Two  generations  of   Motts,  father  Jesse  S.  and  son  Samuel  J.,  served  as  village   and  city  engineers  (1894  –  1942),  mapping  infrastructure,   plans  for  the  future  and  property  maps.    The  plans  and   maps  of  the  Lester  Brothers  real  estate  firm  (1860s-­‐1930s)   plot  development.  Charles  F.  Dowd  (whose  daughter   married  into  the  Lester  family)  was  an  owner  and  professor   at  the  Temple  Grove  Seminary;  he  is  perhaps  best  known   for  proposing  standardized  time  zones,  creating  maps  from   the  1860s.    More  recently,  civic  organizations  like  the  Lions     Club  and  Chamber  of  Commerce  produce  city  maps.   A  Word  About  the  Space  of   Saratoga  Springs   Saratoga  Springs  began  as  a  settlement  in  the  town  of   Saratoga  in  land  originally  part  of  the  Kayaderosseras   Patent.  In  1819,  an  act  of  the  New  York  State  Legislature   officially  divided  the  town  of  Saratoga,  adding  the  town  of   Saratoga  Springs  within  it.  The  new  township  received   about  half  the  land  of  the  original  municipality,  located  on   the  west  side  of  the  Kayaderosseras  and  Fish  Creeks.   Within  Saratoga  Springs  there  are  two  distinct  “districts”   created  by  an  1826  act  that  incorporated  the  village.     Saratoga  Springs’  territory  today  remains  largely  the  same   as  that  described  in  the  1819  act.  The  1915  city   incorporation  act  confirmed  that  the  city  retained  the   town’s  “present  boundaries,”  making  government  and   administration  “coextensive  with  the  territory  above   described”—in  other  words,  the  same.   �     Maps  and  Civic  Life   Maps  and  Urban  Development   Streets,  buildings,  and  land  divisions  may  be  the  most  obvious   features  on  a  map,  but  each  of  these  physical  elements   reflects  how  a  community  creates  and  uses  its  public  and   private  spaces.  Maps  help  us  understand  what  matters  to  the   people  who  live,  work,  and  play  in  a  town  or  city.  The  maps   displayed  in  the  exhibit  and  online  give  a  taste  of  some  of  the   most  enduring  features  of  civic  life  –  including  schools  and   voting  districts,  parades,  and  parks.   A  walk  through  Saratoga  Springs  today  reveals  glamorous   buildings  of  distinct  styles  that  range  from  simple  red  brick   facades  to  decadent  Victorian  mansions  and  even  southern   antebellum  porches  that  make  you  question  how  a  hint  of   southern  hospitality  made  it  so  far  north.  Fine  dining  is   everywhere  you  turn,  and  a  horse  will  always  be  displayed  to   remind  you  of  the  track.  Behind  the  city’s  current  lively   atmosphere  of  health,  history,  and  horses  lies  a  complex  history   of  urban  development.  Changes  in  planning  maps  dating  from   the  city’s  earliest  years  to  today  reveal  how  maps  since  the   1800s  have  shaped  the  city  into  what  it  is  today.   Maps,  Tourism  and  Travel   Since  the  1830s,  when  trains  began  to  deliver  summer  visitors,   Saratoga  Springs’  growth  and  development  moved  in  lock   step  with  ground  transportation.  Maps  reveal  how  Broadway   retains  its  role  as  the  city’s  spine,  despite  efforts  by  developers   to  entice  visitors  away.  They  also  track  today’s  familiar  routes   –  9,  29  and  50—from  a  network  of  trails,  roads  and  rail  tracks.   Dreamers  from  real  estate  developers  and  civic-­‐minded   residents  to  city  planners  and

 reinvent-­‐ tion  and  renewal  were  on  state  and  local  leaders’  minds.     The  1915  State  Reservation  Commission  report  mapped   out  plans  to  preserve  and  revive  use  of  the  town’s  mineral   springs,  in  a  new,  modern  resort  in  what  is  now  the  Sara-­‐ toga  Spa  State  Park.    The  City  Charter  reconfirmed  the   territory  of  Saratoga  Springs  and  its  “corporation  line.”     The  Spirit  of  Life  celebrated  the  contributions  of  Spencer   Trask  and  marked  the  newly  public  space  of  Congress  Park.   Over  its  history,  Saratoga  Springs  has  produced  many   maps  that  tell  the  community’s  story.    Two  generations  of   Motts,  father  Jesse  S.  and  son  Samuel  J.,  served  as  village   and  city  engineers  (1894  –  1942),  mapping  infrastructure,   plans  for  the  future  and  property  maps.    The  plans  and   maps  of  the  Lester  Brothers  real  estate  firm  (1860s-­‐1930s)   plot  development.  Charles  F.  Dowd  (whose  daughter   married  into  the  Lester  family)  was  an  owner  and  professor   at  the  Temple  Grove  Seminary;  he  is  perhaps  best  known   for  proposing  standardized  time  zones,  creating  maps  from   the  1860s.    More  recently,  civic  organizations  like  the  Lions     Club  and  Chamber  of  Commerce  produce  city  maps.   A  Word  About  the  Space  of   Saratoga  Springs   Saratoga  Springs  began  as  a  settlement  in  the  town  of   Saratoga  in  land  originally  part  of  the  Kayaderosseras   Patent.  In  1819,  an  act  of  the  New  York  State  Legislature   officially  divided  the  town  of  Saratoga,  adding  the  town  of   Saratoga  Springs  within  it.  The  new  township  received   about  half  the  land  of  the  original  municipality,  located  on   the  west  side  of  the  Kayaderosseras  and  Fish  Creeks.   Within  Saratoga  Springs  there  are  two  distinct  “districts”   created  by  an  1826  act  that  incorporated  the  village.     Saratoga  Springs’  territory  today  remains  largely  the  same   as  that  described  in  the  1819  act.  The  1915  city   incorporation  act  confirmed  that  the  city  retained  the   town’s  “present  boundaries,”  making  government  and   administration  “coextensive  with  the  territory  above   described”—in  other  words,  the  same.   �     Maps  and  Civic  Life   Maps  and  Urban  Development   Streets,  buildings,  and  land  divisions  may  be  the  most  obvious   features  on  a  map,  but  each  of  these  physical  elements   reflects  how  a  community  creates  and  uses  its  public  and   private  spaces.  Maps  help  us  understand  what  matters  to  the   people  who  live,  work,  and  play  in  a  town  or  city.  The  maps   displayed  in  the  exhibit  and  online  give  a  taste  of  some  of  the   most  enduring  features  of  civic  life  –  including  schools  and   voting  districts,  parades,  and  parks.   A  walk  through  Saratoga  Springs  today  reveals  glamorous   buildings  of  distinct  styles  that  range  from  simple  red  brick   facades  to  decadent  Victorian  mansions  and  even  southern   antebellum  porches  that  make  you  question  how  a  hint  of   southern  hospitality  made  it  so  far  north.  Fine  dining  is   everywhere  you  turn,  and  a  horse  will  always  be  displayed  to   remind  you  of  the  track.  Behind  the  city’s  current  lively   atmosphere  of  health,  history,  and  horses  lies  a  complex  history   of  urban  development.  Changes  in  planning  maps  dating  from   the  city’s  earliest  years  to  today  reveal  how  maps  since  the   1800s  have  shaped  the  city  into  what  it  is  today.   Maps,  Tourism  and  Travel   Since  the  1830s,  when  trains  began  to  deliver  summer  visitors,   Saratoga  Springs’  growth  and  development  moved  in  lock   step  with  ground  transportation.  Maps  reveal  how  Broadway   retains  its  role  as  the  city’s  spine,  despite  efforts  by  developers   to  entice  visitors  away.  They  also  track  today’s  familiar  routes   –  9,  29  and  50—from  a  network  of  trails,  roads  and  rail  tracks.   Dreamers  from  real  estate  developers  and  civic-­‐minded   residents  to  city  planners  and  college  professors  map   transportation  and  tourism  to  imagine  the  city  of  the  future.     Tourist,  urban  development,  and  transportation  maps   provide  complementary  sides  of  a  story  about  the  city’s   plans  for  growth  and  adaptation  to  changing  times.   �       � https://ssmp.skidmore.edu/files/original/f05e6a1f8454e7d1a2f48a7cb8206a59.pdf c089f8335a8c5008aec700c3ca28ecea PDF Text Text Mapping a City 1915: Incorporating a City Early 20th century Saratoga Springs faced a decline in its popularity as a resort and conference destination. Seeking to reinvent its image and assert its place as an upstate New York hub, town leaders started several projects, working with state officials, to conserve the mineral springs and bring the visitors back. A defining moment for the town’s revitalization came with its incorporation as a city in 1915, which capped a period of municipal conservation efforts and a new era of mapping and zoning. 100 years since the city charter was signed, this exhibit tells the city’s origins and growth through its maps. Map Stories of Saratoga Springs Maps chart the tale of Saratoga Springs' settlement, establishment as a separate district within the town of Saratoga in 1819, erection as an independent village in 1826, and receipt of a city charter from New York State in 1915. Maps also reveal what mattered to visitors and residents: parks and parking, routes and roads, attractions and business, land and buildings, planning and development, what worked and what should change. Saratoga Springs History Museum 1 E Congress St Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 www.saratogahistory.org Exhibit Website: http:://ssmp.skidmore.edu/ 250 Years of Saratoga Springs History April - December 2015 Sponsored by the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust & JIMAPCO �2 1 Timeline The Past Through Maps The citizens of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., might think of making a map in order to influence policy (Figure 1) or of consulting one to plan a trip or to showcase in homes, schools and libraries (Figure 2). But maps also reveal a lot about the communities that made them--their ideas and values, their way of seeing the world, their hopes and dreams. In other words, maps tell stories. Accessible by Native American trails as early as the 17th century, the springs of Saratoga and the settlement that grew around them began to find their way onto many kinds of maps--official surveys, city plans, tourist guides, and real estate brochures with late-18th c. European settlement. Small-scale and large scale, businesslike or humorous, black & white or color, these historical maps provide details or data about the city's past. Maps takes us through Saratoga Springs' history from its origins as a crossroads between Canada, New York and New England and a draw for the healing power of its mineral waters to its present day as a lively spot for meetings, nightlife, and recreation. 1777 Battle of Saratoga 1789 Gideon Putnam arrived in Saratoga Springs 1791 Saratoga County established 1803 Putnam’s Boarding House built 1819 Saratoga Springs becomes a district, town of Saratoga 1824 United States Hotel opens 1826 Saratoga Springs Village Charter 1833 First steam locomotive to Saratoga Springs 1863 Racetrack opens 1893 Convention Hall opens 1911 Racetrack closes for two seasons 1913 Village Park – later Congress Park – opens 1915 City Charter adopted by NY State Legislature 1918 Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce forms 1923 First zoning map 1951 Saratoga Springs casinos closed 1963 Northway (I-87) opens 1966 Saratoga Performing Arts Center opens 1984 City Center opens 2004 Saratoga Gaming & Raceway opens 2015 Centennial of City Charter � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Pamphlet Abstract (& Historical Note) Natural language description of the map itself, providing a general summary of the map and noting significant features. This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field. The 1960s in Saratoga Springs was marked by a need for change to combat years of previous decline. Saratoga Springs fell into a period of decline after World War II and urban renewal was the clear response to update the city’s reputation. The Federal Housing Act of 1949 set a standard for American cities to be beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. As cities across the country at this time were seen as centers of urban decay, an economic boom generated the funds for rebuilding. Federal subsidies allowed local governments to invest in urban renewal projects and in turn local governments receive money for public infrastructure. A pamphlet created in 1965, “Urban Renewal in Saratoga Springs,” proposed to citizens that “beautiful” and “new houses” were needed in a core area downtown, off Broadway. The Agency distributed 1,000 copies to property owners to provide basic knowledge of “urban renewal.” The main objective as described in a March 24, 1965 article by the Saratogian, was “to provide the plasma to inject the incentive for private investors to revitalize both residential and commercial segments of the heart of the city. Repository Name of the repository that holds the original item. Saratoga Room, Saratoga Springs Public Library Creator - Individual Name of the person or people responsible for creating the item. Smith, Benjamin L., Consulting Engineer DeLisle, Kenneth R., Planning Consultant Subject - Details This subject field describes the amount of detail in a map. For maps: (or layers) included on the map itself. This field might denote that the map includes information about, for example, Mountains, Railroads, Soundings, Elevation, or Population. These are controlled-vocabulary terms developed locally. The cataloger should be generous in assigning these terms -- even if only one canal is visible on the map, it should receive a "Canals" subject in this layer. Some of these terms are less specific than others and may warrant expansion in the Abstract field. For example, the "Businesses" term might be included here while the Abstract notes that the map shows mills and stores. Multiple terms can be used in this field.
