Alaska State Museums Services Chat 31, Gold Rush Artifacts, May 8, 2013
Webinar with Special Guest Curator Samantha Richerts from the Klondike Gold Rush National Park in Skagway. She discussed gold rush artifacts from the Rapuzzi collection that were available for donation to museums in Alaska. Because this was originally recorded in May 2013, these artifacts are almost certainly no longer available.

CANADIAN PACIFIC S.S. PRINCESS PATRICIA CRUISE SHIP TO ALASKA PROMOTIONAL FILM 45084
“The ‘Princess’ Way to Alaska” is a 1960s color film presented by Canadian Pacific, the “world’s most complete transportation system,” and encourages travelers to rely on the company’s Princess Patricia cruise ship when planning a visit to Alaska or the Yukon. The luxury liner is introduced at mark 00:30, with the narrator explaining the vessel has been designed specifically for voyages to Alaska. The itinerary takes the passenger from Vancouver, British Columbia, northward to Prince Rupert, and on to Alaska with stops at Ketchikan, Wrangell, Juneau, and Skagway, before traveling to Carcross in the Yukon Territory. The film offers some of the highlights in each stop, including the new post office in Vancouver and the city’s calm waters of the Pacific Ocean, log-rolling events, and traditional bagpipers. The ship is shown again at mark 02:35, as the film takes the viewers onboard with scenes of the vessel’s luxury, followed by images of various activities held on the ship and majestic sights passed along the way. Following a sight-seeing tour at Prince Rupert, shown at mark 07:00, the cruise ship takes its passengers to Ketchikan, Alaska, shown at mark 12:23, with images of many of the totem poles that stand on the land. (Including one, at mark 14:13, honoring Abraham Lincoln.) Passing small ice flows at mark 14:55, the cruise ship approaches Juneau at mark 15:10, with its many hotels and banking facilities, as well as the Mendenhall Glacier, introduced at mark 16:30. Following more scenic views of Skagway (“Mecca of the gold rush days”), the travelogue takes its viewer to the White Pass and Yukon Railway for a trip to Carcross in the Yukon Territory, as more scenic views flash across the screen. After a show by cancan dancers near mark 26:25, the ship makes its southbound voyage back to Vancouver and the film reaches an end.
The Princess Patricia was the first ship to operate for Princess Cruises, one of the largest lines in the world when she was built 1949. Stanley MacDonald chartered a Canadian Pacific ferry in 1965. He intended to monopolize the winter cruising market by operating out of Los Angeles and cruising to Acapulco, Mexico. This is the period where most ships would be laid up.
The second of Canadian Pacific Line's two 356 foot long, 56 foot wide, 5,611/6,062 ton (1963 refit) Fairfield Shipyards, Scotland-built west Pacific coast steam turbine passenger ships, the SS Princess Patricia was named in 1949 for Princess Patricia of Connaught. She was retired from Alaskan cruising services in 1978, used as a floating hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia for their 1986 World's Fair before being finally scraped in Taiwan in 1995.

Visit to the Museum Of Alaska Transportation and Industry
I took a trip with some friends up to the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry to check out the vintage toy, train and tractor show, afterwards we took a tour of the facility. Quite a history of Alaskan transportation for sure. Lots that could use restoration, but at the very least, they are keeping a lot of things from finding the scrap yard to they can be seen by generations to come. If you make it to Alaska, take a trip up to Wasilla and check it out!

Great Land, Great Beer, Great Problems (1977)
Excerpt from Alaska Review 4. In this segment, Alaska Review reports on the conflict between the Teamsters Union in Alaska and the Prinz Brau Brewery in Anchorage. Ed Bennett interviews: Peter Bading, brewery developer and founder of Prinz Brau Brewery in Alaska; Tom Kelly, former Alaska Commissioner of Natural Resources; Gerhardt Konitzky, Prinz Brau brewery manager; Heinrich Reich, brewmaster for Prinz Brau Brewery; Mike Gordon, owner of Chilkoot Charlie's in Anchorage; and Larry Wooten, owner of Party-Time Liquors.

Airing from 1976 to 1987, Alaska Review was the first statewide public affairs television program in Alaska. The show was designed to explore public policy issues confronting Alaska, and to assist citizens in making decisions about the future of their land. Produced by Independent Public Television, Inc., (IPTV), the series eventually consisted of 16 one-hour shows, 46 half-hour shows, and one three-hour special broadcast. Funded through the Alaska Humanities Forum and State of Alaska, the series won multiple awards for public service and educational programming. IPTV dissolved in 1988. Videotapes for all finished productions and raw footage were later moved to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), where they became housed with the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives department in the Rasmuson Library at UAF, shortly after the unit was founded in 1993. The Alaska Film Archives is currently seeking funding to preserve and digitize all of the original full interviews gathered in the making of the Alaska Review series. Copies of finished productions are also held by Alaska State Library Historical Collections in Juneau. For more information, please contact the Alaska Film Archives at University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Alaska State Museum in Juneau Alaska
If you are ever in the area this is a must see. I tried to capture some of the interesting stuff in a few short clips here....these guys have done a wonderful job of putting together some breath taking exhibits that detail the states history, beginning with the transition from Russian rule, to US territory, up through the Valdez debacle and so much more. I learned more about Alaska and it rich history and culture in the 2 hours we spent there, than I had heard, or was ever taught, in my entire life.
Alaska State Library and Archive Construction
Construction on the long-awaited new Alaska State library and Archive building began in Juneau recently. Located in the Alaska state capitol next to the State Museum the new facilities should safely store records go back to when Alaska became a state (in 1959) at least until global warming raises the sea level 10 or 15 feet.
The new complex is located between Willoughby Street and Egan Drive on landfill six or seven feet above sea level. The scheduled completion date is about January 2017. The archive building will occupy the present state museum that will in turn move into the new larger building with a parking garage.

Museums Chat: Awards, Pt. 2 (Shina duVall, Amy Stefini), June 19, 2019
Peace ceremony in Haines, Alaska
In August of 1980, Austin Hammond (Gunx̱aa G̱uwakaan, Daanawáaḵ), clan leader of the Lukaax̱.ádi, gathered together the Tlingit and non-Native community to protest the mistreatment of the land and people of his ancestral homeland of Lḵoot, Haines, and to lead a G̱uwakaan Ḵu.éex', a Peace Ceremony. According to the film Haa Shagóon (Kawakey, 1981), Austin requested that the peace rock, or 'Deer Rock,' G̱uwakaan Teiyí, broken into pieces by road builders, be made whole; that the fish weir be removed; that our sacred burial grounds be protected so never again will the bones of our ancestors lay scattered and disturbed; and we ask that we may lawfully catch salmon for our subsistence in this river, a heritage denied to us that is rightfully ours.
In this excerpt of the ceremony, Austin is joined by George Davis, Kichnáalx̱, clan leader of the Deisheetaan, Shdeen Hít, who was a lead orator with Austin; and Walter Soboleff, Ḵaajaaḵwtí, of the Aanx̱'aakhittaan, who translated the speeches. George Davis shares some history about Lḵoot, and speaks about traditional strength training and Tlingit cultural values. Austin tells Tlingit history, explains aspects of the Peace Ceremony, and powerfully articulates the meaning and value of their sacred land, uniting Tlingit spirituality with a powerful political request. Walter Soboleff delivers an eloquent English translation, artfully conveying the meaning and passion of Davis and Hammond. George Davis, Austin Hammond and Walter Soboleff are among the most deeply admired and revered Tlingit Elders in memory. In this ceremony, they teach young Tlingit people how to be powerful catalysts for change, while making a courteous but insistent request to the government and larger community for respectful and appropriate political adjustments, a request that cannot be overlooked.
This archival recording is from the Dauenhauer Tlingit Oral Literature Collection at the Sealaska Heritage Institute's archives. This recording was placed online as part of an Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS) grant program. From left to right, the picture includes Walter Soboleff (Ḵaajaaḵwtí), Austin Hammond (Gunx̱aa G̱uwakaan, Daanawáaḵ), and George Davis, (Kichnáalx̱).
