"Earthquake 1906" Exhibit in Irwin Library
Irwin Library will be hosting a unique exhibit during the month of
October. “Earthquake 1906” consists of almost 30 photographs that
were taken the day after the famous San Francisco Earthquake 100 years ago.
These photos were found in a family attic over 90 years later. Painstakingly digitized and restored by the original photographer’s great
niece, Rebecca Schmidt Dailey, these photos are a tribute to a city that
rebuilt itself and the 10,000 people who died in the tragedy.
The grand opening of this exhibit will be Tuesday, October 3 at 9:00
am. Mrs. Dailey will be on hand from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, and will then host a
workshop from 11:00 to noon, demonstrating and discussing the various PhotoShop
techniques that were used in restoring the pictures and creating this exhibit.
This workshop is being offered in conjunction with Information Resources’
Instructional Technology Department, which will be providing some hands-on, focused
workshops on using PhotoShop. Registration is not required for the workshop on October 3, but it would be
appreciated. Please contact Beverly Compton (bcompton@butler.edu or ext.8138)
to reserve your seat!
The “Earthquake 1906” exhibit will conclude on Friday, October 27.
