Title A name given to the resource The exact building cost of George Mason Statue Subject The topic of the resource The money spent to build the George Mason Statue inside the George Mason University Description An account of the resource The article titled “George Mason Statue” on the Past and Present digital archive of George Mason University offers valuable background on the commissioning, construction, and unveiling of the George Mason statue, with particular emphasis on its historical and symbolic significance. For a project focused on the cost of building the statue, this article provides key financial context: it states that the statue was commissioned for approximately $159000, a cost that included not only the sculpting itself but also the design, materials, and installation. Funded through private donations and contributions from the university community, the statue was sculpted by artist Wendy M. Ross and unveiled in April 1996. The article also touches on the artistic symbolism embedded in the statue, such as Mason holding the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which connects the monument’s aesthetic elements to the legacy of its namesake Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Mason University, Construction Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <a href="https://pastandpresent.gmu.edu/items/show/16" title="Total cost of George Mason Statue">https://pastandpresent.gmu.edu/items/show/16</a><a href="https://pastandpresent.gmu.edu/items/show/16" title="George Mason Statue Mason's Beloved Landmark"></a> Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available George Mason University Past and Present Team Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1995-08-01 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Abdul Bais Faqirzai Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Article Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Article https://masonhistory.gmu.edu/files/original/8081c0ac0642a5e235c479e3293f382e.jpg 4a519c3b88724210f5dbc50a5e948046 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The estimate cost of George Mason Statue building Subject The topic of the resource The initial estimated cost for building the George Mason Statue as new idea and tradition to boost the George Mason school spirit Description An account of the resource In 1989, when the idea for the George Mason statue was formally introduced by the Student Government, the initial estimated cost for the project was projected to be between $30,000 and $50,000. This estimate reflected the students' original vision for a modest yet meaningful monument to their university’s namesake. The plan included a commemorative plaque recognizing donors who contributed $500 or more, and the Student Government hoped to raise the full amount over a five-year period through campus fundraising efforts.
