First Thursday event planned at Clark County museum
The first exhibit in the newly-renovated gallery space at the Clark County Historical Museum will focus on the New Deal. Franklin D. Roosevelt helped create a Democratic tidal wave that swept across Washington and the nation in 1932 during the depths of the Great Depression. He promised Americans a "New Deal." After Roosevelt took office in March 1933, each day brought dramatic new developments and agencies, including the Works Progress Administration, or WPA. In Washington, New Deal projects included the Grand Coulee Dam. Unemployed artists, laborers and researchers were all put back to work in their communities, leaving behind a legacy of roads, bridges, murals and parks. Maria Pascualy, curator at the Washington State Historical Society, selected 30 photographic images from representative projects across the state and paired them with an essay by historian Carlos Schwantes. The Washington State Historical Society is a repository for the WPA Washington State photographic collection, the WPA Washington State Federal Writers Project manuscript Collection and the WPA King County Emergency Relief Administration Photographic Collection. This exhibit is a photographic essay from the Traveling Exhibit Service of the Washington State Historical Society. Beginning at 7:00 p.m., on Thursday, WSU Vancouver Library’s archives specialist Robert Schimelpfenig will talk about the subtle kinds of information that can be derived from historic photographs. He will also discuss ways to document information about family photographs and the basic steps and best practices for digitally preserving photos. The Clark County Historical Museum’s Photograph Collection consists of more than 5,300 images now available to the general public on CCHM’s website at www.cchmuseum.org. High resolution images and reprints may be ordered from CCHM using forms available on the site. Museum admittance is free from 5 to 9 p.m. the first Thursday of each month February – November for First Thursday Museum After Hours. A wheelchair accessible entrance to the museum is located on the east side of the building off 16th Street. The museum is located at 1511 Main St., Vancouver. For information, call, 360-993-5679. Space still available at Connections Fair
