Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2023-11-15 16:26:38. Caption as posted: "The Historical Society is planning a Holiday Social at the Print Shop Museum on 12/16 at 6:00 pm. We will have appetizers, music, a holiday raffle/auction and festive lighting. More information to follow shortly. To prepare for the event we are offering the community an opportunity to display their holiday collections at the museum. We will have panels in place for the community to display their favorite holiday pictures and decorating the museum for the holidays. If you are interested in helping decorate or a temporary display of your special holiday pieces, please give us a call or stop "

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A group of white ceramic figurines is arranged as a nativity scene inside a glass display case. The display includes human and animal figures, with a small red printed information panel behind it. Framed objects, painted artwork, and other exhibit materials are visible in the surrounding interior.

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 a historical society Facebook page on November 15, 2023. The accompanying post discusses preparations for a holiday social, festive lighting, and temporary holiday displays.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The smaller text on the red information panel and the labels on the display case are not legible.

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.
