SUMMARY:Help SCHS build an archive of COVID-19 stories
DESCRIPTION:Members and Friends: \nWe are all making history right now\, as we live through the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s an emergency of historic proportions\, and has been compared to the Black Plague\, or the 1918 Spanish Flu. Like those past crises\, COVID-19 will be a major topic of study for future historians. Years from now\, Schenectadians will look back and wonder\, “how did the COVID-19 pandemic affect Schenectady County? How did our ancestors respond to the crisis?” “What was life like for people quarantined\, for months?” \nYou can help future researchers understand for themselves what life right now is like. You can help future historians understand the pandemic’s immense impact on our community\, and on ourselves\, and on our way of life. You can help future historians understand how this international emergency changed your life\, and changed our world\, forever. \nConsider recording your unique perspective for inclusion in the SCHS archives. Diaries\, scrapbooks\, photo albums\, letters\, songs\, poems\, short stories\, and other works of art are all important sources for future historians. Be creative: there are infinite ways you can express yourself\, and document the impact of COVID-19 on you\, your loved ones\, and your neighbors. Help us\, by: \n\nContributing to a global collection: https://covid19.omeka.net/\nShare your story using our form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHgEsVMdH6NBHjFKx_QxVwa5_H4rZSKIQ71e_XkjhfWMeiXg/viewform\nCreating a personal diary\, scrapbook\, or photo album (analog/physically or digitally)\nCollecting the letters\, emails\, and notes that you’ve created or received to stay in touch or communicate with others during this difficult time of isolation\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact is an on-going\, changing situation. It will take time to document how we are all affected. If you have questions about ways you can contribute to the SCHS archive collection\, or about documenting your experiences\, contact the SCHS librarian\, Marietta Carr\, at librarian@schenectadyhistorical.org \nWishing you and your loved ones the very best. Be in touch and be safe.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Exhibition Opening: Pressed Metal Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN POSTPONED FOR LATER IN 2021\n\nFor artist Tony Murray\, it all begins with a title. That vision is sculpted to life using precision machined scrap metals and found objects. Whether daydreaming or contemplating the nature of things\, Murray’s subjects range from the playful and the serious to the cynical and the philosophical\, leaving the viewer to ponder the deeper\, religious\, political\, or social meanings behind the work.\n\n\n \n\n\nIn addition to both regional and national exhibitions\, Murray’s work can be found in permanent installations at the Virginia Air and Space Center\, LaGrange Art Museum\, and Fontbonne University. While his media of choice is pressed metal sculpture and recycled/found objects\, Murray also works in scratchboard\, photography\, “sculptography\,” and poetry. Born and raised in Queens\, NY\, Murray now resides in Glenville\, N.Y.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe exhibition will run March-May 2020 at the Mabee Farm Historic Site. A special reception will be held on April 11th at 2pm featuring a presentation by the artist followed by a Q&A. Light refreshments served. $5 or FREE for members.
