Holiday display with a lit Christmas tree, magazines, a wooden sign, and framed maps in an indoor room.

Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2023-12-12 21:34:18. Caption as posted: "The 2023 Beaver Beacons are in, just in time for the Holidays! The magazine was rebranded to feature stories about the Arts & Culture of Beaver Island. You can buy your copy from Mcdonough's Market, the Print Shop or online. The cost is $10 in person or $12.50 if mailed."

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A decorated Christmas tree with string lights and metallic garland stands beside a table covered with multiple magazines. A wooden sign rests behind the magazines, and framed maps hang on the wall. A small dark decorative tree sits on the sign, while windows and wood-paneled surfaces are visible in the room.

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 caption states that the 2023 Beaver Beacons had been received for the holidays, that the magazine had been rebranded to feature arts and culture stories, and that copies were available from Mcdonough's Market, the Print Shop, or online for $10 in person or $12.50 by mail. The image was posted on December 12, 2023, by the Beaver Island Historical Society Facebook page.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The small text on the magazine covers and the title of the framed map at right are not legible.

Rights and credit

Community source, no stated terms; published non-commercially with attribution and a link to the original post.

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.
