SUMMARY:Rosa Snyder: Off the Map
DESCRIPTION:Thousands of towns and communities were established during Iowa’s pioneer and railroad era. In some instances\, they were small towns built around the time of the height of a coal industry that just could not thrive while others supplemented the needs of the countless farmers\, and still others were established for very different reasons. Many existed for a few years\, some slowly faded away over time\, and a few never existed except as “paper” towns. Regardless of why they originated or why they diminished\, each community has its own unique story. Towns are truly windows to our past and have helped form the history of our state. Discovering and learning about them helps to keep their names and memories from oblivion. Take a tour around Iowa exploring a sampling of these idiosyncratic communities in photographs and stories.

SUMMARY:Rudy Daniels: She's Been Working on the Railroad
DESCRIPTION:Women have played important roles in the railroad industry since its earliest days in the 1840s. Many worked at stations in the late nineteenth century\, including Iowa’s own Kate Shelley. There is no question that by 1900 women had become an integral part of the railroad’s labor force. During World Wars I and II\, women expanded their roles and worked in shops\, on trains\, and repairing track. This program also includes profiles of the women holding government offices and high corporate positions in the industry in more recent years. *Photos will accompany the presentation when projector facilities are available.

SUMMARY:Barbara Lounsberry: Yup...Nope...and why Midwesterners Don't Say Much
DESCRIPTION:Yup…Nope…and Why Midwesterners Don’t Say MuchThe writer Ernest Hemingway made a virtue of Midwestern reserve. Reticence became part of the Hemingway “code\,” and the strong\, silent type came to be associated with honor and heroism. This half-in-jest\, whole-in-earnest presentation (with slides) explores the historical roots of Midwestern reserve\, along with contemporary illustrations. As one Midwesterner deadpanned on return from the East: “We think we are being polite when we wait for people to finish their sentences; they think we are slow-witted.”
