SUBJECT: Status report on the Richmond "Rosie the Riveter" project
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
1. ACCEPT a report on the status of the Richmond Rosie the Riveter project by Alicia
Barber, National Park Associations' Historian.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS:
The City of Richmond, along with the Rosie the Riveter Trust and the National Park's Service
have designated the former, Richmond Kaiser Shipyards as a historical site honoring women
who worked at the Richmond shipyards during World War II. The site, "The Rosie the Riveter
World War II Home Front National Historical Park" includes two Contra Costa County
Community Services Child Care Facilities, the Ruth Powers and Maritime Centers. During
World War II, both sites were operated as childcare facilities for children whose mothers
worked at the shipyard while their fathers were at war. At the time, this was an innovation of
child care for non-affluent working families. This concept was a factor in the women's
movement, allowing women to work while their children were supervised in child care facilities.
The National Park's Department has hired a historian to research the era and develop a
report on "Rosie the Riveter."
The National Park Association's presentation will provide a short insight to the history of the
site, which is designated to be a national landmark, and outlines present steps taken for the
implementation of the memorial.

saying goodbye at a wartime childcare center.
FDR Library
The National Park Service is researching Richmond's wartime childcare centers as part of
the planning for the new Rosie the Riveter/World War D National Historical Park. Park
Service Historian, Alicia Barber,.will present her research findings on the Maritime and
Powers Childcare Centers. Now serving children through a program of Contra Costa
County, these Centers have been in continuous operation since they were built in 1943 to
serve Kaiser shipyard workers' families.
We are particularly eager to hear stories and memories from teachers, parents and
(former) children about all aspects of childcare during the war. Whether you were part of
a formal daycare center or made use of other childcare arrangements, your memories are
important for filling the gaps in this story.

Childcare in Wartime Richmond, 1941 -1946
Thursday, August 16, 2001 6 PM
Maritime Day Care Center
1014 Florida Avenue (at Harbour Way)
Richmond, CA
�v
Join us for a presentation and
discussion about childcare in the
home front years.
Free and open to the public
Saying goodbye at a wartime childcare center.
FDR Library
The National Park Service is researching Richmond's wartime childcare centers as part of
the planning for the new Rosie the Riveter/World War U National Historical Park. Park
Service Historian, Alicia Barber,.will present her research findings on the Maritime and
Powers Childcare Centers. Now serving children through a program of Contra Costa
County, these Centers have been in continuous operation since they were built in 1943 to
serve Kaiser shipyard workers' families.
We are particularly eager to hear stories and memories from teachers, parents and
(former) children about all aspects of childcare during the war. Whether you were part of
a formal daycare center or made use of other childcare arrangements, your memories are
important for filling the gaps in this story.
