Museums — the society dated as far as the record dates it, the first home's tenure bounded, and the tests printed
#90 — The society before the museum: a founding date at aggregator strength, the residue named
The banked course begins in 1997 because that is where the society's own telling begins: the Walkerton Area Historical Society's museum page opens with the Heritage Room of 1997 and gives no founding date for the society itself…
#91 — The first home's tenure, bounded: the Heritage Room, 1997 to the Frash house — the move year itself unnamed in any record reached
The first museum home now has both ends of its story except the hinge: the Heritage Room Museum opened at the Walkerton Library in 1997 (the society's own page, banked), and it ended when the museum moved into its second home…
#92 — The oldest possession: the catalogue names a founding collection, not a founding object — the accession register is the settler
The Omeka catalogue was read for this item at the depth it publishes: the Walkerton Digital Library's home page states the archives' classes — "physical objects, postcards, photographs, artifacts, maps, etc." — and states its own…

#94 — The art-museum test, run explicitly: no art museum stands in Walkerton as its own institution
The negative, with the systems searched named: The near-miss is named so it cannot be mistaken for the thing: Walkerton made art — the deep-cut glass of 1910–1919 was an art practiced at factory scale, and its collection is the…
#95 — The small-museums sweep: no hospital museum, no family museum, no single-subject museum — the one museum is the whole museum record
The sweep ran over the two records that would have to show a small museum if one stood here: Class by class: a hospital museum — none, and none possible on this record: no hospital has ever been seated in Walkerton in the record…
#96 — The museum that left: the test prints negative for Walkerton — and the county-line article
No museum has ever left Walkerton: the test ran against the town's whole museum course, and the course is one of moves within the town — a library room in 1997, a donated house on Michigan Street, the old license-branch building…
