"Alarm as Pompeii Keeps Crumbling." The Herald, March 3, 2014, 1st ed., HS - NEWS sec. Accessed September 10th, 2015 via LexisNexis Academic Database.
Discusses more recent collapses in Pompeii, namely in the acropolis of Porta Nocera where a supporting arch and a piece of a wall collapsed due to heavy rains. It names the new cultural director and his efforts to gain reports on the maintenance at Pompeii as well as a mention of a resoration project funded by the European Union. Mentions a contrast in Italian media about Pompeii's handling compared to other ancient Roman sites. I would use this to show that Pompeii's issues are ongoing, even despite more funding and a hopefully less corrupt cultural director.

A short excerpt from a scholastic journal about the 2011 collapse of the School of Gladiators in Pompeii. It addresses researchers looking more into what caused the collapse exactly, and that Pompeii has been in a state of decline since about 2010. It is a short article, and is mostly a brief summation rather than a full exclamation. I would use this article as a reference of how even well funded programs can damage history.
Hammer, Joshua. "The Fall and Rise and Fall of Pompeii." Smithsonian. July 1, 2015. Accessed September 2, 2015.
Hammer's article discusses, in depth, the concerns of Pompeii's collapses and the simultaneously excellent restoration of her neighboring site Herculaneum. It heavily discusses the state of Pompeii's ruins and how inappropriate restoration methods and staff that doesn't have the correct training have seriously affected Pompeii's reconstruction. It then contrasts this to Herculaneum's large amount of success in restoration of it's scrolls and murals. There are many inserted images to show the state of Pompeii. I would use this article to further discuss how historical sites can fall to ruin if not taken care of properly.
"Italy's heritage 'under threat' after Pompeii collapse," YouTube video, 2:08, posted by "AFP News Agency", December 16th, 2010. https://youtu.be/DsjXq-f9f3g
This video discusses the collapses over the past years in Pompeii, and addresses the shrinking budget for conservation and Italy's economic struggles. It has a couple short interviews and discusses how other monuments are at risk. I would use this as a video link in a QRG, just to offer a little bit more information on the topic and what important locals in Italy have to say about the collapses.

MacDonald-Korth, Emily; Rainer, Leslie. "The Getty Conservation Institute Project to Conserve David Alfaro Siquiero's Mural América Tropical". Getty Research Journal, No. 6 (2014), pp. 103-114
Rainer and MacDonald-Korth's journal offers an in-depth explanation of the restoration of a famous mural after it was neglected for eighty years. It discusses the condition of the work, how the process was documented, the actual conservation treatment, how they chose their approach, and more. It has many citations, some images, and notes to conclude. I would use this article to discuss important conservation techniques.
Poggioli, Sylvia. "A Collapse In Pompeii Highlights Neglect In Italy." NPR. December 2, 2010. Accessed September 10, 2015.
This article discusses the criticism Italy has faced after several structural collapses in Pompeii. Pompeii is constantly in danger of collapse, and the government has been blamed for turning Pompeii into a "Disneyland" instead of a center to learn about human tragedy. This article helps add extra depth and information about the failings of the Italian government, and I would use it to back an argument for properly funding archaeological sites.
Povoledo, Elisabetta. "E.U. Pledges Large Sum for Protection of Pompeii." ArtsBeat EU Pledges Large Sum for Protection of Pompeii Comments. October 27, 2011. Accessed September 10, 2015.
This article discusses the sum of money the European Union pledged to help protect Pompeii in 2011, as well as how the E.U. plans to counteract corruption and misuse of funds. The four year plan (up in 2015) plans to use $148 million to defend the fragile site. I would use this as an argument for what can and is being done to protect fragile history.
Rocca's article provides a summary of the outrage at the concept that Italy is too inept to care for it's cultural heritage. It heavily discusses the idea of "decentralizing" Pompeii, meaning that more of the site's control would be moved to investors. It's argued that directors are paralyzed because of arguments between the site and the government, but corporate influence is something many directors want to avoid. It includes many quotations and some images. I would use this as a discussion point on the best way to fund conservation programs.
Tillio, Samantha. "Really People? "Ancient Rock #Art in Utah Is Being Destroyed by Target Shooters" via @hyperallergic #preservation Http://t.co/gGUyWUwrz3." Twitter. September 1, 2015. Accessed September 5, 2015.
Tillio's tweet addressed an article written by Laura C. Mallonee about gun enthusiasts in Utah who have been destroying ancient rock art in Utah. Rock art is incredibly fragile because of it's exposure to the elements, but catching people in the act has been near impossible. The article hopes to plan a specific target-shooting area and use county land for that purpose, because educating the public has proved to be difficult. I would use this as an argument for conservation, because delicate history is being permanently erased.
Wallace, Alia. "Papers from the Institute of Archaeology." Presenting Pompeii: Steps towards Reconciling Conservation and Tourism at an Ancient Site. February 14, 2013. Accessed September 11, 2015.
Alia Wallace's research paper addresses the effects of mass tourism on Pompeii. It begins with a historical overview and goes on to present her research, which has observations on visitor interaction with the site and movement throughout the site. It has in-depth interviews to help better understand the "Pompeii experience". It has several images and sources to further information. I would use this as one of the arguments about how to handle the poor conservation of Pompeii.
Whalen, Timothy P.. "The Online Magazine of the Getty | The Getty Iris." The Getty Iris. January 8, 2015. Accessed September 5, 2015.
Whalen's article looks over thirty years of conservation work that the Getty has done. It is full of images with supporting text describing the conservation project and talks about their successes over the years. It is not very in-depth, but still has information content. I would use this as an example of how conservation is a success.
EDIT:
Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone else who had the same citation style as my own, so I chose two citation styles at random. One was Laurence's post in ASME style and Michael's in IEEE-SA style. Reading the other two citation styles made me realize there are a lot of citation styles out there, and I was unfamiliar with these two. I feel as though my annotations could have been longer and more detailed compared to other's posts. I will probably have to go back through and flesh them out more before the QRG is due. For the bibliographies I looked at, they didn't seem too drastically different than mine. However, I'm sure that there is a need for the slight distinctions between the styles.
Your post was formatted almost exactly like the example you provided. I did not find any specific errors or differences between your bibliography and the example aside from the length of the annotation. The shorter annotations on your sources make sense, however, considering the amount of content being cited in the example was far greater than the sources you have here. I think the information you provided was clear and informative.
ReplyDeletePersonally, when writing essays, I really prefer using Chicago styles because I think the footnotes are extremely useful. I think you can use footnotes in my style (MLA) too. Chicago is similar to MLA in that you have to give the author, title, and date accessed. However, in MLA you don't actually write "Accessed." Also it looks like none of the months are abbreviated either. Your citations all matched your example exactly. Good job!
