Promotional poster offering porch seating to watch a Fourth of July parade.

Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2024-06-25 17:04:49. Caption as posted: "If you are looking for a seat with a perfect and comfortable view during this years Fourth of July Parade, we have some for you. A small donation of $20 can get you a seat on the Print Shop Museum Porch. All proceeds are donated to Kids Camp. Information on how to get your seat below!"

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A promotional poster has a white background with blue and red decorative fireworks, a society logo at the top, and large centered lettering. Two circular photographs show a white museum-like building and a covered porch lined with rocking chairs. The poster offers reserved porch seating for a donation, gives a noon seating time and telephone number, and states that proceeds support a children’s camp.

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 Facebook-page post published on 2024-06-25 at 17:04:49 and credits the Beaver Island Historical Society. The recorded caption says the seating was offered for a $20 donation during the Fourth of July parade, with proceeds donated to Kids Camp.

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.
