Heirloom Care Class

Sat, 6 Nov 2010 10:00 AM
Oklahoma History Center, Oklahoma City

 

Have you ever wondered why museums keep the lights low or the galleries dark? Do you know what type of box or materials your great grandmother's wedding dress should be stored in? The Oklahoma History Center is excited to offer a new series of heirloom care classes. Our mission is to collect, preserve, and share Oklahoma History for all. Now is a chance for our curators to help you better care for your personal collections.

The next class is November 6th and its focus is Native American Collections.  Matt Reed, Curator of Native American Collections will teach the class. The class will run from 10am - 12pm and will address basics of care of different items. Details on how to store materials, cleaning methods, and best practices for preserving items will help you care for your families treasures.

The cost for the class is $10.00 per person. Registration is required and seating is limited. To sign up please contact Jason Harris at [email protected] or
(405)522-0785.

Oklahoma History Center

OHS Website is at the Top!

 

If you haven't visited our website, please do so today!  According to Family Tree Makers, the OHS website is one of the top websites of 2010 as a research source.  They suggest visiting our site, www.okhistory.org, sooner rather than later and they recommend using the online Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture and the extensive research guides that are offered. While you are at it, be sure to search through the 1890 territorial census, 1896 applications for enrollment, Dawes Final Rolls, obituaries and Smith's First Directory of Oklahoma Territory.

 

If you have any questions about research, plan a trip to the Oklahoma History Center to visit the Research Center.  The Research Center's extensive collections encompass numerous aspects of Oklahoma's heritage, from territorial history to the present day.

Much of what we know about the American Civil War is derived from actual reports and correspondence made by officers involved in the conflict. In the years following the war a committee comprised mostly of former Union and Confederate colonels selected documents from those saved in Richmond and Washington files to be published in a 128 volume document entitled The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. Here are the reports pertaining to the Engagement at Honey Springs, Indian Territory.  View the report - PDF 90kb.
