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 Custom illustration, figurative models, and 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,” 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 multiples for periodic replacement throughout the life of the exhibit.

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

Custom Illustrations and

Photographs

Custom illustration General style

Suggested Illustration Style The illustrations are meant to:

• create a sense of the landscape throughout history,

• and be in a style that complements the other graphics in the exhibits.

Characteristics that are required:

• Painterly graphics in full color

• Subject matter rendered in realistic ways

• Position of subject matter looks natural and rendering is sophisticated—not appropriate are illustrations that appear cartoonish, schematic, or are pencil- or pen sketches with added color.

• In attempt to streamline costs, it is NOT appropriate to replace the illustration style for this project with one that is not comparable with what is shown on this page.

The material in the panels and slideshow is sensitive and historical in nature and requires a level of subtlety greater than a park safety illustration, for example. Works by Wood Ronsaville Harlin

Custom illustration of third fort, IM-03.02-101 in Exhibit 03

Purpose and Intent This illustration is meant to set the scene for the exhibits, showing the third fort as it would have looked when it was being used.

Fabrication Technique and Finish Treatment The image should be a digital reproduction of custom artwork. The art should appear to be a full color watercolor or otherwise painterly illustration, see details on previous page. The images may be done at a reduced scale of up to 50% of actual reproduced size.

The image will need to be separated or “silhouetted” from its background to be placed on the panel, so the illustration should address this in a logical way, allowing a designer to create a clean and intentional-looking edge to the illustration. The edge of the image should not look artificially cut out. The ideal illustration will be a composition which naturally creates this edge. The fort buildings should provide a clean line for the edge of the image. See graphics package for a reference image in place on the panel (GL-03.02-100).

Description of Scene The fort should be no more than half of the width of the illustration so that visitors can get a sense of the landscape around it as well.

Custom illustration of third fort, IM-03.02-101

Custom illustration of Turkey Mountains, IM-05.01-102 in Exhibit 05

Purpose and Intent This illustration is meant to set the scene for the tribal exhibits, showing examples of people living on the plains with the Turkey Mountains in the background.

Fabrication Technique and Finish Treatment The image should be a digital reproduction of custom artwork. The art should appear to be a watercolor or painterly illustration done in full color, see details on previous page. The images may be done at a reduced scale of up to 50% of actual reproduced size.

The image will need to be separated or “silhouetted” from its background to be placed on the panel, so the illustration should address this in a logical way, allowing a designer to create a clean and intentional-looking edge to the illustration. The edge of the image should not look artificially cut out. The ideal illustration will be a composition which naturally creates this edge. The mountains in the background should provide a natural line for the edge of the image. If any pueblos, tipees, or other man made structures rise above the mountains, the should be silhouetted as well.

Description of Scene The scene should show the Turkey Mountains with pueblos and tipees prominently in the foreground. Exact details of pueblos and tipees should be confirmed with park staff and affiliated tribes.

IM-06.04-201, IM-06.04-226, IM-06.04-376, IM-07-02-201

FPO FPO

Purpose and Intent Photographic murals will appear behind vignette figures. These murals should be place-specific and reflect the story being told by the vignettes. They will give context to the figure and communicate the time period time period the exhibit addresses (1850-1890). Examples of appropriate images are historically appropriate building interiors or exteriors or the landscape around Fort Union.

Fabrication Technique and Finish Treatment Originally it was thought that these would be illustrations, but instead photos will be used. The park will work with other NPS sites to have appropriate interiors photographed. Images should be black and white. Ideally they will be historic images, but if historic images cannot be found, custom contemporary images should be used. Photographs should be ed feel unified regardless of the time period when the original photo was taken.

Cargo Exploration Zone

Covered wagon, CE-04.02-100 in Exhibit 04

Purpose and Intent The cargo wagon at the center of the exhibits sets the tone for the entire experience and gives visitors an opportunity to explore an immersive environment.

Items involved in the wagon vignette should represent 1865/1866.

Proposed Fabrication Technique

Fabricator should purchase a custom cargo wagon from a builder specializing in reproductions. Hansen Wheel & Wagon Shop sells custom covered wagons: http://www.hansenwheel.com/store/wagons-carriages/ custom-built-coaches-wagons.html.

Note the dimensions of the wagon in the drawing set. The wagon should resemble a military freight wagon rather than a regular freight wagon (military freight wagons are smaller than regular freight wagons). Due to the low ceilings in the exhibit space, the wagon must be made shorter than a standard wagon. The sides of the wagon on the left side (in the direction of travel) should be lower to allow people to see in. One section of that side should be removed so that people in wheelchairs can also see into the wagon (see drawing set for details) and the wagon cover pulled up from this side. The ribs for the canvas cover should be shortened to adjust the height to fit the space.

Wagon should not look antique, but rather like a new wagon that has made a long, dusty, and dirty trip.

Crates and barrels in and around wagon, CE-04.02-150+ in Exhibit 04

Purpose and Intent Boxes and barrels in and around the wagon help immerse visitors in the scene. All materials outside of the wagon should be fully tactile.

Proposed Fabrication Technique Detailed drawings for the layout of the wagon can be found in the exhibit drawings set. This package is intended to show an example of the elements proposed in and around the wagon.

Boxes and props should not look weathered, old, or too “old timey”. They should look as they would have on the trail.

Crates and barrels will be stenciled to indicate contents. Park can provide specific labels during exhibit fabrication. At least one barrel should be stenciled with bacon and another with pickles

Figures and Vignettes

Figures in vignettes General Style

Purpose and Intent The figures help bring life to the different vignettes in the exhibit and highlight the idea of multiple perspectives. They provide a tactile experience and add interest for all visitors within the exhibits. They are intended to be touched by visitors and should be durable enough to withstand heavy use over a period of twenty years.

Proposed Fabrication Technique The figures in the vignettes should be life-size, realistically modeled, and fully tactile. Hair and clothing should be modeled. Figures should be monochromatic in a neutral, matte bronze color. Karen Atta Studios produces these figures in a bronze finish.

Wagon monitor programming, EP-04.03-200 in 4DFOF 04

Purpose and Intent This monitor highlights the multiple perspectives of the Santa Fe Trail area and its history. It conveys the amount of conflict in the area before it became part of the United States. Visitors can see different maps and graphics that demonstrate American Indian, Hispano, US military, and other stories in the area. The Santa Fe Trail is always overlaid on the map being shown. The maps should have a consistent style.

The monitor and space behind the wagon can also be used by the park to show movies to larger groups. This functionality should be controlled by park staff.

1. Map of early trade/travel routes created by American Indians

In the beginning, the Santa Fe trail was a series of Indian trails that, when linked extended over 300 miles east to west.

2. Map showing American Indian territories

NOTE: should show shading or dashed lines, not hard lines. During a 2010 Consult (“FOUN NA Consult 10_27_28_2010”) tribes were asked to map ancestral territory. Referred to a Canadian derived map they liked.

The Santa Fe Trail ran though the territories of multiple Indian tribes.

3. Map showing border between New Spain and US.

The Spanish did not promote settlement near Santa Fe because of troubles with raiding Indian bands such as the Comanche.
