Happy National Photography Month!

Did you know...

May is National Photography Month! We'll be highlighting the Clarke Photo Collection in this month's posts.
The Clarke has around 10,000 photos in the collections, which is about 17% of the total collection. The photos span from the earliest days of the county to the present and include a wide variety of subjects. They're some of my favorite items to work with because they can tell so many stories and illustrate change in the community- and the sometimes surprising continuity over time.
This month, we'll be taking a closer look at our photo collection-what's in it? What does it look like? We'll also be checking out ongoing work happening with the collections including our scanning project and research being done by members of the community to better understand one of the photographers who appears in our collection. We'll also highlight a new photography exhibit opening at May's Arts Alive in the Victorian Room!

Happy National Photography Month! This celebration pays homage to the art of capturing moments frozen in time, where each click of the camera shutter unveils a world of stories and emotions. Photography, like a joker's tricks, reveals the unexpected and delights our senses with its ability to capture the fleeting and transform it into everlasting memories. Throughout this month, let us appreciate the photographers who skillfully wield their cameras, playing their own enchanting joker tricks, as they unveil the beauty, mystery, and wonder that surround us every day.

May is National Photography Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the art and impact of photography, and at the Clarke Historical Museum, we're excited to shine a spotlight on our extensive photo collection. With approximately 10,000 photographs, which represent about 17% of our total collection, these images offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of Humboldt County. From early portraits to contemporary snapshots, our collection captures the evolving narrative of the community, highlighting both significant changes and surprising continuities over time. Each photograph is a window into the past, telling stories of everyday life, pivotal events, and the rich tapestry of local history. This month, we will delve deeper into the collection, showcasing its breadth and the ongoing efforts to preserve and digitize these historical treasures.

In addition to exploring the collection, we will provide insights into our current projects, including our photo scanning initiative and the research being conducted on the photographers featured in our archives. We're also thrilled to announce a new photography exhibit set to debut at May’s Arts Alive event in the Victorian Room, which will offer visitors a fresh perspective on the art of photography through our historical lens. By focusing on these elements, we aim to not only celebrate the significance of National Photography Month but also engage our community in appreciating and understanding the visual history captured within our collection.
