These Reference Packages are provided for exhibit elements that require detailed subject matter, creative, technical, and/or artistic input to inform and direct production by a creative or technical specialist.

Reference Packages are developed to provide the creative or technical specialist with critical information needed to accurately create the exhibit element.

Each Reference Package provides written descriptions and graphic depictions that together provide the details that are needed to produce the exhibit element.

Custom Artwork and Figurative Models

Original illustration, figurative models, and custom photography, where required, will be part of the fabricator’s contract. These elements are described in this package, noted as such in the database reports, and also marked For Position Only (FPO) in the final production files.

Touchable Elements/Durability

Where items are listed as “touchable” or “tactile,” they should be created with durability in mind and be easily cleaned by staff. Elements that are made of less durable material are indicated as such and in these instances, it is noted that the fabricator should obtain or create multiple copies for periodic replacement throughout the life of the exhibit.

Some elements in this exhibit scheme are existing items owned by the park. In some cases, these may require treatment by the fabricator to make them ready for new displays.

Introduction

Prototyping

Some complex interactive elements will require prototyping to test for appropriate and durable function. Prototyped elements will be reviewed by the client to provide input on refinement of the prototype.

The final element will be fabricated upon approval of a prototype. Where prototyping is required, it will be called out in this document and the exhibit database reports.

Fort Frederica National Monument Staff

Every element listed in this reference package requires consultation with and approval from the staff of Fort Frederica National Monument during fabrication.

Organization of this Document

The elements in this document are organized by type. This document is intended to be reviewed concurrently with the graphics package, the exhibit database reports, and the exhibit drawings package.

Raised Line Tactile Elem ents

Summary of Raised Line and Braille Tactile Elements

Description

Several elements in this scheme are produced as raised-line for visitors with low vision and blindness. All of the tactile components in the exhibit use the same technology of 3D-printed acrylic.

In the next phase, detailed graphics of these will be provided so that the accessibility features can be reviewed and refined. In all cases, type sizes and spacing will be designed to conform to standards for exhibit programmatic accessibiliy. Braille text will not be provided.

Proposed Fabrication Technique

The graphics will be 3D-prismatic printed using clear acrylic or opaque bronze pigmented and mounted securely to reading rail or map surfaces. Distinctive colors may be used to differentiate spaces and functions for further clarity.

Accessibility Requirements

These tactile elements shall meet accessibility requirements specified in Section 8, Accessibility, of the Harpers Ferry Center’s Exhibit Planning and Design Specifications document (attachment A).

Raised lines:

Raised line text and graphics shall be 1/32 inch (0.8

Resin and W ood M ap Table

Resin and Wood Map Table

Item # Description CE-05.01-100 Map table

Description

This map table of St. Simons Island is detailed in the drawing set. It will be constructed of several layers of wood laminated together to form the “land” of St.

Simon’s Island. Map table should be made from local live oak or park-approved alternative wood.

Water on the map is represented by poured tinted resin which fills the voids in the laminated wood pieces. The ‘water’ resin should be vividly colored but translucent so that wood edges of layers below can be clearly seen.

Identifying elements of the map table are a north arrow, a scale, and a star at the location of Fort Frederica. These should all be routed directly into the surface of the table, and are included in the drawing set, see page A27 for vector outlines.

Roads on map will be bronze inlay, refer to drawing set for placement. Bronze should be embedded securely in wood, visitors should not be able to peel, pry, or dent, or scratch bronze.

Reference images for techniques used in map table.

Reproduction objects and props:

M ain Exhibit Room

Reproduction objects and props: Main Exhibit Room

Purpose and Intent

Reproduction objects and props allow visitors to immerse themselves in the exhibit content. All elements within visitor reach range should be assumed to be tactile unless otherwise noted.

The elements list contains several categories of objects:

• Fabricator- supplied These objects are detailed in this package and they are part of the fabrication contract.

• Non-accessioned park object These are supplied by the park and require no creative changes from Fabricator. Objects provided to the fabricator for display are “expendable” and can be modified with attachments, etc. to hold them securely in place for display.

• Re-used elements These are part of the current exhibits at the park and have been determined to be of good quality and suitable for use in the new exhibits. Items will require: cleaning, minor repair work, minimal replacement parts, and may require additional treatments for durability and longevity. The fabricator should work with the park to determine the needs for each of the re-used pieces.

Accessibility

Where noted, elements are tactile and shall meet accessibility requirements specified in Section 8, Accessibility, of the Harpers Ferry Center’s Exhibit Planning and Design Specifications document (attachment A).

Proposed Fabrication Technique

Reproduction objects will require a diverse array of fabrication techniques; techniques for each element are at the discretion of fabricator. Interim samples should be provided to the client for review and approval. Tactile objects should be durable enough to withstand heavy use for a period of no less than 20 years. If this is not possible, tactile elements should be affixed in such a way as to allow for easy replacement by park staff, and 5-10 duplicates should be provided (exact number determined by estimated durability of element).

CE-03.02-200, Tactile Stratigraphy wall: Overview/Top Surface in Scene 03

Goal

Allow visitors to feel as if they are seeing a “slice” of the ground beneath Fort Frederica, and all the types of artifacts within.

General Description

Fabricator to create a tactile, sculpted environmental element for visitors to touch. The effect should be as if a core sample has been removed from the ground that “happens” to contains a variety of historical objects embedded within. The objects should all be securely embedded into the front face of the display—yet highly visible so that they can be identified by visitors using a flip book key provided nearby.

Features of the Stratigraphy Wall

Top surface

On the top surface of the stratigraphy core, modeled grass suggests ground level. The grass may be modeled as a single resin element instead of individual, delicate blades of grass, with the focus on the realistic aspects of the element. Examples to be provided to the park for review.

A section of the stratigraphy core at ground level should appear as if it has been hollowed out, as if archaeologists have begun a dig. Props inside this hollowed-out area are:

• a measuring stick

• trowel (marshalltown 5” pointed)

These are secured in place and touchable by visitors.

Props to be provided by fabricator.

Soil Layers

Layers of soil are subtly differentiated by color, labeled with a single graphic, and contain embedded objects appropriate to the time period that they represent.

See annotated sketch of the stratigraphy wall on the following page.

CE-03.02-350-860, Archeological objects embedded in stratigraphy wall

Description

Embedded Objects

Within the stratigraphy wall, the location of each object within its appropriate “layer” is of primary importance. Where an object resides within this layer may be determined by the fabricator with input from the park. Objects for the wall fall into two categories:

• Non-accessioned park object These are supplied by the park. Objects provided to the fabricator for display were found on site at FOFR but are designated by the park as “expendable” and can be modified with attachments for display.

• Fabricator- supplied In the three cases where the park cannot provide an “expendable” non-accessioned historic object for use in the exhibits, the fabricator should create these objects using the reference images provided and working closely with the park for approvals.

Fabrication Method

All objects should be permanently embeded in this exhibit. Care should be taken to ensure that the visitor-facing side of the embedded object contains its most recognizable side. The illustrations in the flip book key should be developed from an image of the embedded object so that the key and the wall match exactly.

Fabricator to ensure no sharp edges are present on finished tactile wall. It may be necessary to attach mounting hardware to allow more of the object to be exposed to visitors, while securing the object in place.

No exposed edges of the objects should stick out of the wall that can be grabbed, twisted, picked at, or snapped off by visitors. The fabricator may determine that a particular object provided, because of its condition, material, or ability to be securely—yet visibly—embedded in the wall is not suitable for display. In this case, the fabricator may opt to create a replacement object that meets the criteria for display.

Description

A small Gullah Geechee basket in the style of those created on St. Simon’s Island should be impregnated or coated with a clear, thin layer of resin and securely attached to the reading rail as a tactile object. If coated, the resin should have a matte surface and the object should retain its natural texture, the resin should not fill in all of the tactile parts of the basket.

The basket should have an unfinished end where fibers are left unattached to the basket and the wrapping fiber is left loose. These parts of the basket should be coated thickly with resin or replaced by plastic, wire-core, or durable fiber material that can be touched by visitors but not broken off. The unfinished part of the basket should be on the wall side, farther away from the visitor.

Reproduction evnvironm ent, objects, and props: Tavern

Purpose and Intent

The reproduction tavern, including environmental features, objects, and props allows visitors to immerse themselves in the exhibit content related to the colonial fort era. All elements within visitor reach range should be assumed to be tactile unless otherwise noted.

The elements list contains several categories of objects:

• Fabricator- supplied These objects are detailed in this package and they are part of the fabrication contract. They may be props or historical reproduction purchased off-the-shelf, in which case source material has been provided, or they may require creative and artistic skilled fabrication techniques.

• Non-accessioned park objects These are supplied by the park and require no creative changes from fabricator. Objects provided to the fabricator for display are “expendable” and can be modified with attachments, etc. to hold them securely in place for display.

• Re-used elements These are part of the current exhibits at the park and have been determined to be of good quality and can be re-used in new exhibits. They may require cleaning and minor repair by the fabricator.

• Accessioned park objects These elements may be listed or referenced in this package, but are not described in detail here.

Accessioned Objects (AO) are organized into the artifact spreadsheet and labeled in the drawings set.

The fabricator should work closely with the park to develop final artifact layouts for the cases in scene 9.

Accessibility

Where noted, elements are tactile and shall meet accessibility requirements specified in Section 8, Accessibility, of the Harpers Ferry Center’s Exhibit Planning and Design Specifications document (attachment A).

Proposed Fabrication Technique

Reproduction objects will require a diverse array of fabrication techniques; techniques for each element are at the discretion of fabricator. Interim samples should be provided to the client for review and approval. Tactile objects should be durable enough to withstand heavy use for a period of no less than 20 years. If this is not possible, tactile elements should be affixed in such a way as to allow for easy replacement by park staff, and 5-10 duplicates should be provided (exact number determined by estimated durability of element).

Tavern Environment and Objects in Scene 07/8/9

CE-07.01-400, Tavern façade: Overall in Scene 07

Description

The two rooms of the visitor center are divided into a main exhibit area and a re-created tavern environment. The dividing wall between the two zones is outfitted to appear like an exterior wall complete with doors, windows, hanging sign, bench, and roof eave.

The “exterior” façade of scene 07 is made of faux brick veneer and tabby, with a shingled roof. See the drawings set and the materials board for details about the building facade. Information about individual components of the facade are on the following pages.

The tavern facade was designed based upon these illustrations of Frederica Town in the Harper’s Ferry Center collection.

NOTE: windows should not have a distressed or old look, they should look as they would have in contemporary colonial times.

Image from the exhibit drawings set showing 6 -over -6 windows and shutters.

Windows

Two 12-paned glass windows (“six-over-six” two-sash style) are to be inserted by the fabricator into the divider wall. Window have painted wooden shutters fixed in the open position to allow visitors a glimpse into the tavern interior. Windows are fixed, not able to be opened. Note that reference image below does not show the correct number of window panes, but the shutter and window style should be emulated.

Windows and shutters are both to be painted white.

Goals

Once inside the “tavern” visitors should encounter a period-inspired backdrop to content about the town of Frederica, allowing them to imagine the types of interiors that might have existed in Frederica town. In this themed environment:

• children can play and “blow off steam” in an interior setting.

• a backdrop is provided for living history interpreters to do colonial programs for small groups of visitors.

• popular park resources already in the visitor center are able to be re-used.

Description

The interior of the 1730s tavern is not based upon a particular tavern in Frederica town, rather it is based upon similarities documented for southern Georgia colony in this time period. Themed environments from Fort King George are used for reference.

Details and materials for the tavern features are described in the drawing set; references here are intended to provide the fabricator with additional information about the look and feel of the space.
