In memory of my brother, Julian Wrenn Jarvis who was killed on August 30, 1944. Julian was only 19 years old at his time of death, he was drafted out of high school

Donation made in memory of our father, SFC Anthony E. Jannace, who served with the Second Engineer Combat Battalion, 2ND Infantry Division from June 7, 1944-The Battle of Normandy to the liberation of Pilsen on May 6, 1945. He fought in the Battle for Brest, Aug-Sept 1944; his battalion received a Presidential Unit Citation for its heroism during the Battle of the Bulge, and he was awarded the Purple Heart in April 1945.  
The Second and Eighth Infantry Divisions were involved in the liberation of Gouesnou. It is important to remember those that served and sacrificed for our freedom. We stand on the shoulders of the prior generation. May their memories be eternal. On behalf of the Jannace family, we thank the citizens of Gouesnou for making this memorial possible.

This donation is made by Jason Gray, Ian Gray, and Spencer Gray, all originally from Great Falls, MT, in memory of their grandfather, Lieutenant Frank Orville Gray. He took command of F Company during the battle Gouesnou and, and according to his memoir Grasshopper Fox, lost one of his men, Sgt. Lynn, trying to take the hill at Kergoas.

A tribute to uncle Julian W. Jarvis of Bladensburg, Maryland who made the ultimate sacrifice at only 19 years of age.

The City of Gouesnou is building a memorial in tribute to the American Heroes who fell on its territory during the summer of 1944.

The City of Gouesnou is located in Brittany, in the far Western France. In the vicinity of Brest, a port city whose harbour was at the time one of the most important in the country, our city particularly suffered during World War II. On August 7, 1944, the first day of the siege of Brest by the Eighth Army, 43 innocent people were murdered by German troops in the hamlet of Penguérec : this was the largest massacre of civilians perpetrated in Brittany during the War.

During the following days and until the beginning of September 1944, probably more than 210 G.Is belonging to the 2nd and 8th Infantry Divisions of the US Army fell in Gouesnou, in particular during the battles of Bourgneuf-Fourneuf and Kergroas.

**Every year, the City of Gouesnou honor hero soldiers and civilian victims, because here in Gouesnou, we consider that it is our duty to remember the past for the sake of history and transmission, particularly to the youngest generation.** So, the elected officials and residents of Gouesnou, in close collaboration with various associations, the local university and schools, strive to maintain and make accessible to as many people as possible the history of the Second World War, its victims and in particular the soldiers who fought to the point, for some, of losing their lives.

In order to make sure that we never forget and to avoid the recurrence of past tragedies, the City of Gouesnou has been multiplying initiatives : annual tributes to soldiers and victims, financing of historical research, organization of commemorative events for the general public, publication of a comic book.

**In 2025, the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, the City of Gouesnou and the local Association Les Amis du Patrimoine has decided to show, in an even stronger way, its respect and gratefulness towards the American soldiers who fell during the summer of 1944 for its Liberation and that of all of France.** Our project which got started last January, involves building a memorial in their honor, representing a life-size G.I., sitting on blocks of stone, holding his rifle in his hands. Behind him stands a monumental doorway symbolizing freedom and transition, the passage from darkness to light, the heavy sacrifice of these men who came from across the Atlantic to drive out the enemy and help us regain our Freedom. This monument will honor the memory of each of these men and will offer their families a true place where to recollect.

**We would like to inscribe the names of all the soldiers who fell in Gouesnou on this memorial. For that purpose we continue to study, with historians, academics and volunteers, all available archives.** We are also fortunate in being helped in our work by members of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Fourndation, a contact made thanks to the American Society of Le Souvenir Français.

The inauguration of the Gouesnou's US Memorial is planned for next November. On this very special day, we hope to see the presence of the soldiers' families, as well as all those who contributed to its achievement.

The City of Gouesnou, Les Amis du Patrimoine and all their partners are proud to presented to the American public as part of a crowdfunding campaign whose purpose it is to supplement the funds provided by the City and French donors. **We would consider it as a great honor if you accepted to support our project (budget : $ 300 000) as it would certainly help us achieve our goal of building a memorial worthy of the American heroes who fell in Gouesnou, back in 1944, fighting for our Freedom.**

The Sursock Museum is the first modern and contemporary art institution in Lebanon.


HISTORY
The Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock Museum is the first modern and contemporary art museum in the Arab world. It opened officially its doors in 1961 thanks to a bequest of Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock, a philanthropist and a collector, who donated to the Lebanese citizens his Ottoman-Venetian style villa, built in 1912, and art collection. The Museum survived the turmoil in Beirut and has been open to the public for the last six decades with few interruptions.
Throughout its history, it lived through many tribulations. The various armed conflicts and tensions in Lebanon left quite a few scars. Healing has been long and arduous. 

Today, we are grateful for being able to celebrate the recovery of our cherished institution.
Soon after the Beirut blast on August 4, 2020, we started the rehabilitation of the museum, without the assurance that we would secure all the necessary funds. 
The solidarity of volunteers, local and international institutions as well as individual friends, enabled us to reopen in May 2023.
We are so pleased to give the Sursock Museum back to the Lebanese and to the
international friends of Lebanon. 
Increasing numbers of visitors and participants in our diverse activities are a source of energy and renewed dynamism.  
During the different phases of its history, it strived to be faithful to its calling: an inclusive space of encounter, education, innovation and cooperation. More concentrated efforts are ahead of us. 

The museum's new programming wants to engage with a diverse and wider public today. With its exhibition spaces, public library, auditorium, the Sursock Museum will continue to be a safe space for cultural dialogue, critical thinking and free expression. It is a platform for continuous learning, formative of future generations of art and cultural professionals, and we will continue to do so without compromising on quality, in dialogue at eye-level with international institutions.

GOVERNANCE
Following the will of Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock, the Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock Museum with its building and art collection, was constituted in the form of a Waqf on 14 January 1953.
(The Waqf is not too dissimilar to the western legal form of Trust or Foundation). The role of custodian of the Waqf, the mutawali, was assigned to the president of the municipality of Beirut, regardless of which political regime exists at the time.


OUR CHALLENGES
Before the crisis, the museum's activities were mostly financed by a tax on building permits levied by the Beirut Municipality. It now covers less than 2 per cent of our expenses. 

This is our new challenge: financing this vital institution to survive amid complete financial collapse. With our board of trustees, our circle of friends and future supporters, will do so while still offering free access to art.

We cannot overstate the significance of your engagement with the Sursock Museum. Your support is vital. 
Today, supporting the museum is not an act of charity, it is an act of necessity!
Your support is vital.

MZMF prevents the erasure of African American communities through the responsible practice of public history and heritage tourism.

MZMF serves as a conduit to provide financial and technical support to African American church communities and cemeteries in Mississippi. In addition to providing memorials for Blues musicians without grave markers, we provide historical consulting, research, education, and referrals to descendant communities to prevent the erasure of cultural resources in African American communities. By installing over 25 memorials since 1989, MZMF transforms abandoned cultural resources into international tourist destinations.

In 2021, we re-incorporated MZMF as "The Mt. Zion Memorial Fund for Blues, Music, and Justice," and we won over $100,000 in grant awards from Visit Mississippi, the Hills National Heritage Area, the American Historical Association, the MS Delta National Heritage Area, and the MS Arts Council. In the past year, we have installed memorials for Nathan Beauregard, Jim Jackson, and the St. James Missionary Baptist Church, and we have sponsored the RL Boyce Picnic in Como, MS since 2021.

In 2022, MZMF established the Blues Communities Project, working with church and community leaders in 4 counties to add the names and locations of over 660 cemeteries to our WebAtlas of African American Burial Grounds. Services and activities on the pilot project included informational workshops, invited talks, active discussions, archival research, and the launch of a new Wordpress website, featuring ArcGIS-powered surveys and mapping, digital exhibitions, and an online support portal. 
 
Funding is requested to support MZMF’s general operations. MZMF plans to expand the Blues Communities Project into Leflore, DeSoto, and Noxubee Counties, expanding its coverage to a total of 7 counties. Funding will support the development of informational workshops, conceptualized and designed by people of color to increase local participation, including public lectures on gentrification and the erasure of African American history. The participatory addition of burial grounds to the WebAtlas will allow MZMF to continue its growth, extend its reach into descendant communities, and expand its outreach opportunities.

Promotes collaboration between French and American researchers to preserve and study Rosa Bonheur’s works.

Historical Background of the Organization

Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur, was founded following the purchase of the Château de Rosa Bonheur, also known as the Château de By, by the Brault family in 2017. The château, located in Thomery, France, served as Bonheur’s residence for the last 40 years of her life, and its acquisition marked the beginning of a new era in the preservation of the artist’s heritage. Upon acquiring the property, the Brault family discovered thousands of archival documents in the château’s attic, many of which had been untouched for over a century. These documents included personal letters, sketches, financial records, and other invaluable materials that shed light on Bonheur’s life, work, and influence.

Recognizing the importance of these discoveries, the Brault family and the organization sought to create an environment where scholars, particularly from the United States, could engage in rigorous research on these newly unearthed documents. The historical link between Rosa Bonheur and the United States, where many of her works are held in private collections or sold through auction houses, further motivated the establishment of the AFCRB. The organization’s founders recognized the need to bridge the gap between French and American art scholarship, encouraging transatlantic collaboration to ensure a comprehensive understanding of Bonheur’s artistic contributions.

Mission and Objectives

The core mission of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur is to preserve and promote the artistic legacy of Rosa Bonheur. As an organization, it seeks to raise awareness of Bonheur’s work, ensure her rightful place in art history, and foster greater public understanding of her contributions to the development of animal painting, realism, and the broader art community.

To achieve these goals, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur focuses on four key objectives:

1. Restoration: The organization is committed to restoring both Rosa Bonheur’s works and her former home, the Château de Rosa Bonheur, as her workshop, her study room and what makes up its museum. This involves the meticulous conservation of her paintings, drawings, and sculptures, as well as the preservation of the château itself, which stands as a testament to her life and creative process. Restoration efforts ensure that future generations can experience Bonheur’s work in its original context and condition.

2. Acquisition: One of the central aims of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur is to acquire as many of Bonheur’s works as possible, particularly those that have been sold by private collectors. Many of her pieces, including lesser-known works and studies, have appeared on the American art market in recent years. By acquiring these works, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur ensures they are properly authenticated, studied, and ultimately made available to the public. This also helps enrich the archives at the Château de Rosa Bonheur, creating a comprehensive collection that can support future exhibitions and research.

3. Research: Research is a fundamental aspect of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s mission. By hosting American research students and scholars at the château, the organization creates an environment conducive to academic exchange and the development of new perspectives on Bonheur’s work. The archival documents discovered in the château’s attic provide a wealth of material for scholars to explore, and the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur aims to facilitate and support this research by offering access to the château’s collections and resources. Additionally, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur supports efforts to compile a complete catalogue raisonné of Bonheur’s works, a critical tool for scholars, curators, and collectors from all over the world. 

4. Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation, in the context of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s mission, refers to the broader restoration and revitalization of Bonheur’s legacy. This involves not only physical restoration but also the intellectual and cultural rehabilitation of her place in art history. By promoting Bonheur’s work through conferences, exhibitions, scientific publications and public programs, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur seeks to ensure that her contributions are fully recognized and appreciated by contemporary audiences.

Past and Present Activities

Since its establishment, Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur, has been actively involved in a variety of projects aimed at fulfilling its mission. The organization has supported numerous research initiatives, allowing scholars to delve into the newly discovered archival materials at the château with the help of the French Heritage society. These documents have provided fresh insights into Bonheur’s life, including her relationships with contemporaries, her financial dealings, and her artistic process. This research has been instrumental in shaping the current understanding of Bonheur’s work and influence.

In addition to research, Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur has organized several exhibitions showcasing Bonheur’s work. These exhibitions have traveled between France and the United States, further strengthening the cultural ties between the two countries and introducing new audiences to Bonheur’s art. The organization has also been involved in organizing conferences and masterclasses, bringing together art historians, curators, and students to discuss Bonheur’s legacy and explore new avenues of research.

Restoration efforts have been another key focus of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s activities. The organization has overseen the restoration of several of Bonheur’s paintings, as well as the ongoing preservation of the Château de Rosa Bonheur. These efforts ensure that both the artist’s works and her living environment are preserved for future generations to study and appreciate.

Future Activities and Vision

Looking ahead, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur has ambitious plans to continue expanding its activities and reach. One of the organization’s primary goals is to complete the catalogue raisonné of Rosa Bonheur’s works, which will serve as a definitive reference for scholars and collectors alike. This project will require extensive research, as well as the acquisition and authentication of additional works by Bonheur.

The Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur also plans to expand its educational programming, with a particular focus on engaging younger audiences. This includes developing workshops and masterclasses for art students, as well as creating digital resources that make Bonheur’s work and legacy accessible to a global audience. The organization aims to leverage technology to create virtual exhibitions and online archives, allowing people from around the world to explore Bonheur’s art and the château’s collections.

Another important aspect of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s future activities is the continued restoration of the Château de Rosa Bonheur. The organization is committed to preserving this historic site as a living museum, where visitors can experience the environment in which Bonheur lived and worked. In addition to physical restoration, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur plans to expand the château’s public programming, offering educational workshops, and artist residencies.

Finally, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur will continue to promote transatlantic collaboration by hosting American scholars and artists at the château. This exchange of ideas will help foster a deeper understanding of Bonheur’s work and contribute to the ongoing study of her artistic legacy. The organization also plans to strengthen its partnerships with museums, universities, and cultural institutions in both France and the United States, creating new opportunities for collaboration and engagement.

Establishment of “American Friends of the Château de Rosa Bonheur (AFCRB)”

The American Friends of the Château de Rosa Bonheur (AFCRB) is a vital organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and expanding the legacy of the 19th-century artist Rosa Bonheur. Since its inception, the AFCRB has focused on fostering collaboration between American and French researchers to deepen the understanding of Bonheur’s work and ensure its continued appreciation on both sides of the Atlantic. The organization’s mission centers around four primary pillars: restoration, acquisition, research, and rehabilitation, all of which contribute to the broader goal of safeguarding the legacy of one of the most influential female artists of her time.

Conclusion

The American Friends of the Château de Rosa Bonheur plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the legacy of Rosa Bonheur. Through its focus on restoration, acquisition, research, and rehabilitation, the organization is ensuring that Bonheur’s contributions to the art world are recognized and appreciated by future generations. As the AFCRB continues to expand its activities, it remains committed to fostering transatlantic collaboration and ensuring that Bonheur’s work is accessible to a global audience. By supporting research, exhibitions, and educational programs, the AFCRB is helping to secure Rosa Bonheur’s place in art history and ensure that her legacy endures for centuries to come.

The basic aim of the TRC is to give the study of textiles, dress, and accessories their proper place in the field of humanities and social sciences, but also in the context of crafts and craft education. The TRC does so by providing courses and lectures, carrying out research and by the presentation of textiles and dress from all over the world. The two main focal points of the TRC are (a) dress and identity: what people wear in order to say who they are and (b) textile crafts and technology, both pre-industrial and industrial.

In order to reach its objectives, the TRC houses various collections, of more than 50,000 items, including a Textile and Garment Collection and a Reference Collection for fibres, threads, dyes, weaves, printed and machine embroidered textiles, and so forth. Most of the objects are photographed, and are available online (open access), with detailed information, In addition, research is aided by the TRC’s library (some 6,500 books, a large collection of articles, as well as visual material such as photographs, prints and postcards). Students, designers and academics come from many countries to Leiden to use the TRC’s facilities and to attend workshops and courses.

To serve as the testimony of our gratefulness towards all the G.I.s who, at the risk of their lives, gave us our freedom back.

To create a truly unique space and experience. 
 
 Founded in 1994, the Remember Museum is one of the most interesting of its kind. It is housed in an old renovated barn and is comprised mainly of items abandoned by the American First Infantry Division soldiers who once enjoyed "R & R" at the Schmetz' s farm when Marcel was a young boy. The artifacts include personal items given by numerous WWII Veterans from various units. It is a museum with a human dimension, made great by its welcoming environment, its originality, its simplicity. The museum strives to serve as the testimony of our gratefulness towards all the G.I.s who, at the risk of their lives, gave us our freedom back. Because curators Marcel & Mathilde (M&M) are nearing retirement, the museum and its contents will be transferred to the King Baudouin Foundation and a board of directors will manage the future of this great endeavor, while keeping it warm and personal much like M&M themselves. Thank you for your donation!

The Fondation Pro-mahJ contributes to the development of the collections of the Musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaisme in Paris.

The Fondation pour le musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaïsme (Pro mahJ), in Paris, was created in 2003 on the initiative of Claire Maratier, daughter of painter Michel Kikoïne (1892-1968), to promote the work of artists from the École de Paris and mobilize its resources in support of the mahJ. As an essential supporter of the enrichment of the mahJ's collections and the promotion of its heritage and activities, the foundation is committed to supporting contemporary artists whose work is rooted in the École de Paris and resonates with the mahJ's collections.
Your support will help preserve one of the finest collections of works of art and objects illustrating the heritage of Jewish culture in Europe and around the Mediterranean, from Antiquity to the present day, preserved and hosted by the musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaïsme (mahJ), as well as strengthening the museum's activities, particularly its educational initiatives. The mahJ is France's largest museum devoted to Jewish art and culture, and a place of reference for education, promoting cultural diversity and combating prejudice and discrimination, for people from all walks of life. 
The mahJ is also developing an active policy of research into Jewish history and archeologia, through conferences, symposia and meetings. It actively campaigns for better dissemination of Jewish history and heritage and for it to be taken into account in public policy.

Creative Commons (CC) stewards a universally accessible infrastructure for open knowledge, culture, and collaboration. 

Creative Commons is the global nonprofit organization behind the CC licenses and public domain tools, enabling the free and open distribution of otherwise copyrighted work. We give every person and organization in the world a simple and standardized way to grant copyright permissions for images, music, research, journal articles, educational resources, and cultural artifacts; ensure proper attribution; and allow others to copy, distribute, and make use of those works.

We've come a long way since we first got started in 2001. When Creative Commons was  founded, the internet was a budding universe with high potential, and platforms widely used today like Wikipedia and Google were only just taking off. CC’s founders were keen to ensure that, as the internet continued to grow, safeguards to knowledge, culture, and creativity were firmly in place, and the Creative Commons license suite was born.

Now more than ever, CC recognizes the urgent need for these licenses in advancing Better Sharing, key to preserving our global commons. As we look toward the next 20 years, CC seeks to fearlessly advocate for Open Knowledge to address the many challenges our global community faces today from the Climate Crisis and educational inequalities to the spread of "fake news" and barriers in access to cultural heritage.
