To: Historical Commission Members From: Bridget Bacon, Museum Coordinator Date: July 7, 2009 Re: Activity Report Activity Report The following are some recent projects that may be of particular interest to the Commission. At the request of the Colorado Historical Society, I have prepared a list of Italian surnames of Louisville residents that historically appeared in our town. The list is to be made available at CHS for people researching Italians in Colorado. The list is attached. Please let me know if any of you know of additional surnames that should be added. I am in the process of scanning about fifteen historical photos from the Museum's collection for Dick DelPizzo. Most of these are photos that were recently donated. He expressed an interest in having copies to use for the parts of his replica that he is working on. I made arrangements with the Boulder Valley School District to review the records from the Louisville School District #29 that the BVSD keeps in storage. I have viewed the records and have found that they mostly consist of minutes of the Louisville school board meetings. Unfortunately, not all years are covered. They do contain a great deal of information about the school buildings as well as about the teachers in the Louisville schools and what years they taught. The information that I obtained will help with ascertaining the years of different school photos in the collection of the Museum. I attended the June Volunteer Group meeting of the Association of Northern Front Range Museums (ANFRM) in Sedalia with Sally Burlingame and Mary Kay Knorr. We had the opportunity to tour both the Sedalia Firehouse Museum and the Cherokee Ranch & Castle. Historical Museum Correspondence & News Coverage Copies of recent publications from other museums, including the Colorado Historical Society, will be available to view after the meeting.
