Three full years of nostalgic news and views from the isle's past for your reading pleasure. Thanks again to Kathleen Belfy Antkoviak for volunteering her time to digitize each page of these old gems for public access.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A green-tinted printed newsletter page is shown. Its illustrated masthead depicts a beaver at left, a small sailboat on the water, shoreline structures, and a lighthouse at right. Below the illustration are typed holiday, weather, and conservation articles, with part of a seasonal greeting visible at the bottom.
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 an image posted to the Beaver Island Historical Society Facebook page on December 4, 2019. The accompanying post announced that the 1960, 1961, and 1962 issues had been digitized and uploaded to the society's website.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Small body text below the headings is partially legible but not transcribed in full. The lower seasonal greeting is cropped by the bottom edge.

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.
