Created in 1903 as the Division of Public Records in the State Library, it was combined in 1945 with the State Museum and the Pennsylvania Historical Commission to form the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC). Though primarily known as the official custodian of the permanently valuable records ( Record Groups ) of state government and its political subdivisions, the Archives is also, to a lesser extent, a repository for papers ( Manuscript Groups ) and records of individuals and families, businesses, and organizations that have statewide historical significance, as well as an Affiliated Archives of the National Archives and Records Administration. Included among the holdings of the Pennsylvania State Archives are more than 195 million pages of documents and manuscripts; twenty thousand reels of microfilm containing some twenty-two million images of county deeds, wills, mortgages, estate papers, and assessment books; and over one million special collection items such as photographic prints and negatives, maps, postcards, posters, audio recordings, and motion picture films.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE EVOLUTION AND CREATION SCIENCE CONFLICT Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. document.writeln(""); Prior to 1925: Creation Science was the prevailing belief system before the rise of geology in the late 18th Century. The early European scientists, from Copernicus to Galileo to Newton believed (as did almost all Christians in their time) in a literal interpretation of the Bible's account of creation. Historians have made m any estimates for the date of creation , including 3761, 3928, 4004, and 4456 BCE. The most generally accepted date was by Bishop Ussher: 4004-OCT-22 BCE Belief in Usher's date continued among Christian scientists, until the early 18th century, when it became obvious to most researchers that geological processes were exceedingly slow, and must have been accomplished over incredibly long periods of time. A 6000 year old earth was not possible. As geologists promoted theories which indicated that the earth's age predated the Biblical creation story, opposition arose in many religious organizations. For example, Ellen G. White, an early prophet of the Seventh-day Adventists, reacted to the debate about the fossil record of past species by stating that they were deposited by the flood. Friction between science and theology increased when Darwin published The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859) and The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex

Our goal is to present teachers with the latest thinking on an important issue undiluted, with the conflict left in and the blank places visible, to acquaint them with the state of scholarship. We want teachers to understand the interpretative as well as the factual nature of history, to work more with supplementary texts and primary materials, and to see themselves and their students as participants in the process of creating, of doing history, not simply as the recipients of an immutable body of information. 2001 Programs and Fellowships for Virginia School Teachers Online Resources for History Teachers World History American History Virginia State History Geography ...

33. Boulder History Museum :: History University of Colorado professor believed to be the first woman to teach at a state university. From the Boulder Museum of history. http://www.boulderhistorymuseum.org/history.rippon.html

Mary Rippon In the dusk a new moon shone on the snowclad foothills. The train stopped and a young woman stepped down. Dr. Joseph Sewall, first president of the University of Colorado, was meeting her. He asked, "How does it look to you?" Looking West to the mountains which reminded her of the Alps, she replied "Glorious!" Miss Mary Rippon was born on May 25, 1850 in Lisbon, Illinois. She graduated from Illinois Normal School where Dr. Joseph Sewall, MD. was one of her professors. After teaching in a one room rural school, Mary went in search of a college degree. She traveled to Europe and studied languages and history throughout the continent until 1877. Upon her return Dr. Sewall persuaded her to come to Colorado's new university. Mary Rippon, third faculty member at the university, arrived soon after. It was January, 1878. Old Main was set on a barren, sometimes muddy hill. A black bull lived in a nearby pasture. Beyond the fence were a pigsty, a chicken coop and a stable. Miss Rippon and Dr. Sewall's wife diligently planted flowers, shrubs, and grass, hoping to beautify the landscape of the university campus. Historians believe that Mary Rippon was the first woman to teach at a state university. Within three years of her arrival, Miss Rippon became a full professor and departmental head of Germanic languages, a position she held until her 1909 retirement. She lived in Boulder at 2463 N. Broadway (still standing) as a proper Victorian lady. A popular teacher, Miss Rippon shared savings from her $1200 annual salary with needy students. She often stayed on campus to counsel and befriend women boarders as the unofficial women's dean. A faculty daughter wrote, "Beautiful Mary Rippon was like a piece of Dresden, but she must have had a stern jaw somewhere to be dean of women in those early days..."

On November 9, 1891, students met for classes in the Edmond First Methodist Church and the oldest state higher education institution in Oklahoma began its evolution toward what is today the University of Central Oklahoma. Construction of the first campus building, Old North Tower, began in the summer of 1892 and classes were first held in Old North on January 2, 1893. Two decades later, Central State Teachers College became Central State College. In 1939 the Oklahoma Legislature authorized the institution to grant both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. Today approximately 400 full-time and 255 adjunct faculty teach a total of more than 14,000 students enrolled in five undergraduate colleges and an office of graduate studies and research. However, as proven by a program of dramatic new teacher education initiatives, the University has not forgotten its original mission.

39. Texas Department Of Agriculture - Project Teach Beef history. Objectives Understand cattle's history and impacton Texas. Recall the state with the number one cattle production. http://www.agr.state.tx.us/education/teach/mkt_beefhis.htm

Objectives: Understand cattle's history and impact on Texas. Recall the state with the number one cattle production. Understand how cattle were transported differently in the 19th century than today. Understand the vocabulary relative to the cattle drives. Subject Area: Social Studies, English Language Arts and Reading Grade Level: Elementary and Middle school (Modification may easily be made for younger students.) Background Information for Discussion: Cattle history Christopher Columbus brought the first cattle to America in 1494 during his second voyage to the New World. By 1512, the animals he delivered to Hispaniola and others transported from Spain had produced herds large enough to supply Cuba, Puerto Rico and Jamaica. The islands began shipping cattle to Mexico in the 1520s. These animals increased to enormous herds that migrated north into South Texas, where they continued to multiply. More cattle came to Texas with Spanish missionaries during the 17th century. Texas Longhorns are descended from animals Spain introduced to the New World and English breeds that arrived in Texas with settlers during the 1800s. By the 1850s, Texas cattle raisers were driving small herds of Longhorns west to California and east to New Orleans and Pennsylvania. The Civil War halted the developing cattle trade, which did not resume until 1866, this time on a much larger scale. When the war ended, Texas had cattle but no money, while the victorious North, hungry for beef, had the funds to pay for it. Meanwhile, the railroad had spanned the country, making Kansas the nation's rail hub. Texans recognized the solution to filling their empty coffers. By driving herds north to the railroad and selling their steers, they could earn a healthy profit. Steers purchased from ranchers for $3 to $5 a head that year were re-sold in Kansas for $20 each.

The History of Grains Objectives: Identify the names of grain products. Understand where grain foods come from. Name the sources of grain that are used to make different food products. Understand the importance of eating 6 to 11 servings of grain products daily. Identify food sources high in fiber. Subject Area: English Language Art and Reading; and Mathematics. Grade Level: K-5 Background Information: Grain products are derived from plants; mostly wheat, corn, rice and oats. These plants are low in fat and cholesterol-free. These plants are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Corn, wheat and oats are good sources of "dietary fiber." Dietary fiber may be a protective factor for coronary heart disease and certain types of cancer. Examples of foods high in dietary fiber include: whole wheat bread, oatmeal and corn tortillas. Through processing, these plants are turned into grain products that are consumed on a daily basis. Examples of grain products are: Wheat: bread, flour tortillas, muffins, biscuits, pasta and bagels
