Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2015-08-26 15:06:45. Caption as posted: "At one time, the school on Beaver Island was one of two public schools in the U.S. that had nuns employed as teachers. There is a great display at the Print Shop museum, which recreates some of that history."
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A mannequin wearing a black habit, white veil, and white garment stands in a room with rough wooden walls. Framed documents hang behind it, while a wooden cabinet, glassware, books, an enamel container with a spigot, a chair, and a patterned rug occupy the surrounding space.
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.

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 the Beaver Island Historical Society Facebook page on 2015-08-26. Its accompanying caption states that the school formerly employed nuns as teachers and that a display recreating this history is at the Print Shop museum.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Other text in the framed documents is too indistinct to transcribe; the mannequin's displayed label is blank or unreadable.

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.
