ONGOING · the society's Omeka archives — postcards, photographs, maps, glass

The museum has a second building, and it is a website:The project's own framing matters to this section: the archives "belong to the Walkerton Area Historical Society" and are housed at the museum; the digital library is the society publishing its own memory under its own hand, with more collections promised "with the permission of the Walkerton Area Historical Society" as the work proceeds. In the terms this build uses everywhere, the Digital Library is the town's memory-keeper institution in its modern form — the same office the Independent performed in print for a century, now performed in scans — and its exhibit on the cut-glass factory is the source half this section's arts record stands on. Its course is young; it prints here at the size it has reached, as the standing place a later pass will find the society's collections catalogued.
