Our New Website

We are so excited to have our new website up and running! A HUGE THANKS to Adele Kirwer of www.blissfulgirl.com and Brandon Johnson of www.spadewerk.com for all their hard work, creative ideas and design. Not to mention making the site easy enough for me to update. I encourage you to check out their sites.

The new site has a great Events Calendar to keep our community and visitors up-to-date with all the happenings at Heritage Park Museum.

As Curator, I’ll be blogging regularly about all things related to the museum and information about what you can do to help preserve our heritage. There will be tips, workshops and more with information on what you should or should not do to best conserve historical objects.

We’d love your feedback on the new website, please contact us with questions, comments or concerns.

Local History Week

admin — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 19:15:07 +0000

As some of you may know November 18 to 21 was local history week hosted by Heritage Park Museum and the Terrace Public Library. I was suppose to hold a book cleaning course teaching participants how to use 3 commercial products to do a basic cleaning on old books. Including:

This workshop was cancelled due to lack of interest and poor weather. We hope to be able to offer the workshop again at a later date.

I also started working on the restoration of the Land Division Map of the Skeena area from 1919 during this week. And though I made a lot of progress the map is still far from complete. I will be working at the Library periodically over the next month or two and post times that you can pop in see the progress, ask questions or just say hello.

Stay tuned for future posts about this project and the techniques being used in the restoration.
