Collage showing a white museum building, an interior exhibit, and a recruitment notice for volunteer docents.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A collage shows the exterior of a white two-story building with a covered porch, flower beds, and a large sign. A second photograph shows a wood-paneled museum interior with display cases, framed materials, and wall exhibits. The right side contains a large recruitment notice with a logo, decorative graphics, and multiple blocks of text.

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 the Beaver Island Historical Society Facebook page on 2024-04-19. The captured caption says: “If you are interested in becoming a docent this summer please let us know!”

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The small text beneath the historical society logo is difficult to read; it appears to say “Keeping Island History Alive.”

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.
