History Programs Coming to Central Oregon Coast Published 05/25/2010
“The Newport Fishing Project,” a multi-media exhibit, will open at 2 to 6 p.m., Saturday, June 5 at the site of the proposed Pacific Maritime and Heritage Center, 333 SE Bay Blvd. The exhibit also will be open from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday, June 6; Saturday, June 12, and Sunday, June 13. The exhibit features photographs and audio and video works, and brings together commercial fishing experiences, both past and present. University of Oregon folklore student Al Bersch, photographer Leslie Grant, and sound artist Nina Pessin-Whedbee are coordinating the project in partnership with the Lincoln County Historical Society and area fishers.
“We want to focus not only on fishing but also on the creative work fishermen do and have done to tell their stories,” Pessin-Whedbee, said. “And the idea is to create a collage of these stories so people can connect the pieces in their own way.” The exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Historical Society at 541-265-7509.
Baker will discuss the prerequisites for writing history including a love of history and a love of language and writing. He will explain the detective process, how to tell the story, and writing techniques. He also will talk about publishing options for writers of history, including self publishing. “In some ways the process never ends,” Baker said. “People continued to contact me after the book was written, and I have published several editions with added information.” Sales of “Camp Adair” are nearing 5,000.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Historical Society at 541-265-7509. The Lincoln County Historical Society, which includes the Burrows House and Log Cabin museums, is located at 545 SW Ninth Street in Newport. The museums are free and open to the public. The Burrows House Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Log Cabin Museum is open Thursday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Lincoln County Historical Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the history of Lincoln County.
