SUMMARY:Happy Hour with the Historian: Rachel Sanderson | La Florida: The Interactive Digital Archives of the Americas
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, September 8th as the Museum of History and UPC Insurance welcome Dr. Rachel Sanderson and her presentation\, “La Florida: The Interactive Digital Archives of the Americas.”\nSign up here!\nRachel L. Sanderson serves as the Associate Director of La Florida: The Interactive Digital Archive of the Americas\, a position she has held since the project’s inception in 2016. She earned a BFA from the University of Tampa and a BA in History from the University of South Florida\, St. Petersburg. In 2017\, Sanderson graduated with an MLA in Florida Studies from the USFSP. Her thesis project focused on the lives of two noble women in sixteenth-century Florida\, one a young Spanish woman and one a female Indian chief. Sanderson has presented her research at several national conferences. After working in the field for five years\, Sanderson was admitted into the Ph.D. program in History at the University of South Florida. In her first year in the doctoral program\, Sanderson was one of just eight graduate students selected to participate in the prestigious Spanish Colonial Borderlands workshop\, sponsored by The Huntington Library in San Marino\, California. In 2022\, Sanderson received the Leland Hawes Essay prize for the best paper in Florida studies. \nTeaching La Florida with the Interactive Digital Archive of the Americas will highlight the ways in which rigorous academic research in collaboration with cutting-edge technology can bring the history of daily life in colonial Florida to a global audience. \nThe presentation will focus on an initiative titled\, Lost Voices from America’s Oldest Parish Archive\, 1594-1821\, a project designed to make St. Augustine’s diocesan archives accessible to a global audience. Together\, these ecclesiastical records provide unparalleled insight into the daily lives of colonial St. Augustine’s multi-ethnic inhabitants\, and the relationships between the settlement’s African\, European\, and Native American residents. The collaborative two-year project is designed to engage a global audience\, specialists and non-specialists alike. La Florida’s user-friendly platform makes these records freely accessible for teachers\, students\, scholars\, genealogists\, and the general public. \nPresented by UPC Insurance\, Happy Hour with the Historian is frequently sold out\, so reservations are required.

SUMMARY:Happy Hour with the Historian: Robert Jacob | Pirates of the Florida Coast
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, August 11th as the Museum of History and UPC Insurance welcome Robert Jacob and his presentation\, “Pirates of the Gulf Coast.”\nReservations: Sign up here!\n\nGet first access by signing up for our mailing list here!\n\nWith a lifelong passion for history\, Robert Jacob has been involved in living history interpretation and reenacting for over 40 years. He has participated in activities covering a wide range of time periods including French and Indian War and Revolutionary War reenactments\, Western Gun Fighter groups\, Mountain Man Rendezvous\, and Renaissance Fairs. During the past 16 years he has focused on the golden age of piracy.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOriginally from Pittsburgh\, PA\, Robert graduated from Duquesne University with a Bachelor’s Degree in education in 1978. He taught in the West Point public school district\, West Point\, VA for five years while completing his Master’s Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1983.\n  \nIn 1982\, Robert entered the United States Marine Corps reserve and augmented to active duty in 1983. During his service\, he became a military occupational specialty instructor and earned the designation of Master Training Specialist. Later in his career\, he became the Commanding Officer of the Marine Detachment at the same school where he had earlier instructed. He achieved the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 5 and retired after 31 years of service in 2013.\n\nWhile researching information on the golden age of piracy\, Robert realized that most of the publications on the subject were contradictory and even incorrect. This motivated him to write his first award-winning publication\, A Pirate’s Life in the Golden Age of Piracy. After its release\, his readers expressed a strong interest in Florida pirates. This inspired Robert to write his second book that focused on the them\, Pirates of the Florida Coast: Truths\, Legends\, and Myths. Robert is currently a living historian\, author\, lecturer\, and public speaker. He has appeared as a subject matter expert on pirates at museums\, historical events\, educational institutions\, and on the History Channel.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by UPC Insurance\, Happy Hour with the Historian is frequently sold out\, so reservations are required.
