A Historic Structure Report (HSR) compiles available historical and architectural data regarding the Connemara Main House at Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site including information about the historic structure, including research about the history, occupants, and physical features of the structure. Background research incorporates genealogical work, archeological testing, transcriptions of historic documents, artifact analysis, structural analysis, and paint analysis, among others tasks.

In the spring of 1998, the National Park Service completed a comprehensive Archeological Overview and Assessment (AOA) for Liberty Island. An AOA was conducted for the island to provide additional information to site managers concerning the remaining archeological resources. The purpose of the AOA for Liberty Island was to: 1) complement and elaborate an earlier archeological and historical research; 2) identify potentially sensitive archeological sites that could be adversely affected by later construction/maintenance activities; 3) synthesize archeological and documentary data about the site; and 4) identify areas for additional research.

This report is an effort to provide comprehensive documentation and management guidelines for the cultural resources of this National Park Service unit.

This report presents a technical history of the commemorative stones and makes recommendations for further research. Following the history and recommendations is a catalog of the stones, the most thorough and extensive to date. There were a number of stones donated to the monument but never installed; a catalog of these stones is also included.

In a time of national introspection regarding the country s involvement in the persecution of Jews, Poland has begun to reimagine spaces of and for Jewishness in the Polish landscape, not as a form of nostalgia but as a way to encourage the pluralization of contemporary society. The essays in this book explore issues of the restoration, restitution, memorializing, and tourism that have brought present inhabitants into contact with initiatives to revive Jewish sites. They reveal that an emergent Jewish presence in both urban and rural landscapes exists in conflict and collaboration with other remembered minorities, engaging in complex negotiations with local, regional, national, and international groups and interests. With its emphasis on spaces and built environments, this volume illuminates the role of the material world in the complex encounter with the Jewish past in contemporary Poland."
