 Individuals
join together in communities to provide for the
well being of all and because some individuals
have special skills needed by others. Schools,
local governments, police and fire protection
agencies, and assorted retail businesses are established.
Skilled professionals such as doctors, blacksmiths,
and pharmacists become residents because they
are able to make a living selling their services.
Sports fields, community parks, and hotels are
among the places where individuals come together
to socialize and relax.
Individuos
se unen y se congregan en comunidades para proveer
al bienestar de todos y por que algunos individuos
tienen oficios especiales que los demas nesecitan.
Se establecen escuelas, agencias de gobierno,
policia y centros de bomberos, y variedad de negocios
y tiendas. Profesionistas especializados como
doctores, farmacistas, y abogados se convierten
en residentes porque asi puenden proveer para
su familia y ofrecer sus servicios. Campos deportivos,
parques, y hoteles son lugares donde la gente
se reune para socialisarse y relajarse.

"Caring
for the Individual" will consider the specialists
who meet the health and personal needs of community
members. Objects from the museum's collections, from
an authentic doctor's buggy to a newly acquired c.1880
embalming table, will be used to interpret the roles
of the doctor, dentist, barber, hairdresser, and undertaker.

High-tech components and computer stations in Yakima Works will
offer more information on the exhibit objects and give access
to a vast archive of historic photos of early Yakima Valley
towns, businesses, and workers. This print shop equipment will
be relocated, connecting the "Yakima Herald-Republic"
section of the exhibit on Ted Robertson
with the "Communicating in the City" section of Yakima
Works. A corner of the newspaper print shop will be re-created
in the exhibit on Ted Robertson's life as a newspaperman. From
Yakima Works, visitors will be able to look through a window
and over the shoulder of a newspaper worker setting up a page
on the linotype machine. |
