huntingtonlibrary:

The #ProjectBlueBoy gallery experience is almost complete. For the last few months, conservator Christina O'Connell has been working on inpainting, a process in which new conservation colors are added to areas where the original paint is lost or missing.

As part of the ethics involved in the profession, any paint added by the conservator is easily reversible and separated from the original surface of the painting by a layer of new varnish; and the conservation colors added during inpainting are carefully mixed to match in color, texture, and transparency.

To see the delicate process in person, stop by this Thursday for the final day of scheduled conservation work in the gallery. Starting Oct. 1, Blue Boy will be off view and in the conservation lab for final analysis and inpainting. More details here: https://www.huntington.org/project-blue-boy

The @ocparks maintains a four acre local history site in Lake Forrest, CA. The rangers interpret “four fully restored and furnished historic buildings that span the early history of the Saddleback Valley and El Toro area from the Mexican Rancho era (Serrano Adobe, circa 1863), to the founding of the town of El Toro (El Toro Grammar School, 1890; St. George’s Episcopal Mission, 1891), through the citrus farming days of the early twentieth century (Harvey Bennett Ranch House, 1908).”

They offer guided #tours and seasonal events for the community. Visit 25151 Serrano Road Lake Forest, CA 92630-2534. Contact (949)923-2230 or heritagehill@ocparks.com. The park is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m.. to 5 p.m. The park is closed for county holidays. Learn more at ocparks.com/historic/heritage.

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum has an impressive site. Instead of a typical orientation film, you will be inpressed by the museum’s Reagan #hologram. We viewed the ranch narrative. “The Tack Room at Rancho del Cielo – President #Reagan has just returned from a #horseback ride and he talks to us about the Ranch and how it helps him to balance the pressures of the Oval Office, and then tells us a little about his ideas on #freedom.”

While you visit, be sure to visit the archive. #October is the designated month for American archives. “As a Presidential Library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (#NARA), the Reagan Library, under the authority of the Presidential Records Act, is the repository of presidential records for President Reagan’s administration. The Library’s holdings include over 60 million pages of documents, over 1.6 million #photographs, a half million feet of motion picture #film, tens of thousands of audio and video tape, and over 40,000 #artifacts.”
The are located at 40 Presidential Drive |Simi Valley, CA 93065. The are open hours are 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. seven days a week.

“Hazel’s mind was like wandering alone in a deserted museum. Hazel’s mind was choked with with uncatalogued exhibits. He never forgot anything but he never bothered to arrange his memories.”

What does one do when you #fly domestically or internationally from San Francisco #Airport? We suggest that you spent time in the @SFOMuseum that is exhibited in the International Main Hall and Terminals. These spaces are designed for you to explore historic themes that resonate with throughout the ages.

We personally spent extended time in The Modern Consumer: 1950s Products and Style. You will find that they are displaying interesting artifacts and ephemera that showcase this age in consumer buying practices. This is well documented in Lizabeth Cohen’s A Consumers’ Republic: The Politics of Mass Consumption in Postwar. Read our fieldnotes at

Located in the heart of the Los Rios District, the San Juan Capistrano Historical Society has been restoring and preserving historical structures. It is adjacent to the Capistrano Depot that actively takes you on the #train throughout #SoCal.

The National Trust for Preservation established the week long tradition of recognizing preservation practices during the Nixon administration. They now show how #ThisPlaceMatters with a toolkit for grassroots organization. We celebrate all the month of May. The trust created a list of 31 actions, one for each day, for you to get active in this movement. Visit https://savingplac.es/2VYOlr6 via @savingplaces.

History, although in the #past, can help shape the future. Local #historian and #entrepreneur Jennifer Keil, co-founder of 70 Degrees, aims to change how archivists preserve historical #data to show that history can be simultaneously fun and profitable.

Named for the ideal #storage temperature of artifacts, 70 Degrees uses both physical means and #digital technology to store historical objects, record oral history accounts, curate #museum exhibits and work with both government and businesses to preserve important records and events. The company manages a #temperature-controlled facility in Laguna Hills, which houses artifacts and lends them to organizations.
Along with her sister and fellow co-founder Cynthia Keil – they have an expertise in oral history and interest in #information technology – the Keils noticed a need for digital and physical archives in local history.
“Although we work in a very physical space, we are very much in the digital sphere, showing what’s physically in those storage containers so that groups borrowing information or artifacts can get a sense of what we have and make it easier to collaborate,” said Jennifer.

We honor the life of Hans Christian Andersen with International Children’s Book Day. His work spans from The Little Mermaid (1837), The Ugly Duckling (1843), Thumbelina (1835), The Princess and The Pea (1835), and The Little Match Girl (1845). He wrote an autobiography and other pieces that have become iconic childhood stories.

There is a Hans Christian Andersen Museum in Solvang, CA. It contains the vast collection of narratives he wrote along with historical elements from his life. Although he himself never visited Solvang, this Danish town honors this man’s enduring legacy.

In the words of the folklorist himself, “Life is the most wonderful fairy tale of all!” This quote was translated from "What the Whole Family Said" by the Hans Christian Andersen Centre in Demark.
