Black-and-white photograph of a log building beside a grassy field and wooden fence.

Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2015-08-25 16:10:58. Caption as posted: "A drive around Beaver Island is dotted with signs of its history. Come visit and see what is out here. Stop by our museums while they are still open for this season."

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A black-and-white photograph shows a rustic log building with a steep gabled roof and a smaller attached section. Tall grass fills the foreground, with a simple wooden fence crossing the right side. Leafy trees and a utility pole stand behind the building.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Subjects and keywords

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

The catalogue record identifies this as a photograph posted to a historical society Facebook page on 2015-08-25, with a caption about historic signs and museums. The record does not identify the building.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The building’s original use and the details of a small dark object at the far left cannot be determined.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.

Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
