A close-up of a purple printed promotional panel decorated with flowers and illustrated butterflies. The panel contains blocks of white text, a small map, a vertical timeline, and a list of tour highlights. The design uses white, lavender, dark purple, and pale green.

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.

Tour Highlights

Welcome aboard. As we journey the road less traveled to Barneys Lake Nature Preserve for sights of lilacs, we will highlight landmarks along the way:

- POST OFFICE
- MARINE MUSEUM
- WHISKEY POINT LIGHTHOUSE
- COMMUNITY SCHOOL
- PROTAR'S HOME
- ENGINEER'S MEMORIAL
- PROTAR'S TOMB
- PUBLIC BEACH
- MORMON PRINT SHOP MUSEUM

Since 1988, Barney's Lake Nature Preserve encompasses 363 acres of land featuring an open bog, wildflower meadows, an old apple orchard, a cedar swamp, a historic farmstead, and loon nesting grounds. A rich variety of habitats thrive here, while large lilac bushes now bloom where farm fields once stretched, overlooking the protected inland lake.

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 archive identifies this as a community photograph posted by Friends of Beaver Island to a public Facebook page on 2026-06-06. The source URL is a Facebook image record; the original poster or rights holder is not otherwise specified.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small labels and details on the map cannot be read clearly. The final word of the 2014 paragraph is partly obscured by image resolution.

Rights and credit

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

Credit this to Individual posters, credited per image when you use it.

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.
