Event poster with a starry background, a portrait, and information about a night-sky storytelling program.

Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2019-09-13 00:59:52. Caption as posted: "Dark Sky Storytelling event ... Next Friday 9/20 As the date moves closer, weather pending, we will announce if a back-up location is selected."

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A vertically oriented event poster has a dark star-filled background, large blue star shapes, and pale yellow, black, and purple text panels. A small portrait of a smiling woman holding a chalkboard sign appears near the upper left, with additional small logos and star-shaped labels along 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.

BIHS PRESENTS: A Storytellers Night Sky Event featuring
Star Lore Historian, Mary Stewart Adams.

WHERE: Donegal Bay Pavilion
When: Friday, September 20, 2019
TIME: Starts at 7:45 PM

Historian Mary Stewart Adams, host of the weekly public
radio segment of the same name, and who, as a global
advocate for starry skies, led the team that established the
9th International Dark Sky Park in the world in 2011 at
the Headlands, in her home state of Michigan.

Mary has received numerous honors for her work advocating
for dark skies, combining her extensive knowledge of ancient
mythologies with the research and ideas of contemporary
astronomy, as a contribution to the new star wisdom of
astrosophy. She travels far and wide teaching her humanities-
based approach to understanding the celestial world around us,
and the cultural influence of star knowledge through the ages.

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 image was posted to a historical society Facebook page on 2019-09-13. The accompanying post caption announced a Dark Sky Storytelling event planned for the following Friday and said that a backup location would be announced if needed, depending on weather.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Very small text in the lower logos and the chalkboard sign in the inset portrait is not fully 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.
