4) "The Clarke Historical Museum: Past and Present," May 8
12 p.m. OLLI Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation (via Zoom) with Josh Buck, executive director/curator of the Clarke Historical Museum, a board member of the Timber Heritage Association, a historical consultant and educator. The Clarke Museum is Humboldt County's largest museum and features many artifacts from the varied history of northwestern California. One of the unique qualities of the Clarke is that it is a living history museum, in that there are very few artifacts that are always on display. However, the museum does have a few that can be found year-round. Find out what the museum has on display, and the process by which exhibits are curated. In addition, learn how the museum was formed and provide a quick history of the buildings that now house the collection. There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer at the Clarke, and you will find out how to get involved. Learn more or join via Zoom
here.
