Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A vertical illustrated fundraising poster has a dark red background with cream-colored text, a green rounded panel at the top, and evergreen branches in the corners. A decorated Christmas tree with lights, red and gold ornaments, and star decorations fills the lower left. The poster contains a message about visitors, museums, a threatened grant, holiday generosity, preservation, education, and donations.
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.

GIVE THE GIFT OF HISTORY THIS GIVING TUESDAY! This year, more than 10,000 visitors walked through the doors of our museums—and our programs inspired all ages. But the loss of a key grant puts our 2026 programming at risk. Your holiday generosity can keep our museums strong. Support preservation, education, and the stories that make Beaver Island magical. ♥ DONATE today and help safeguard our Island’s heritage.

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

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.
