First Film of the new season August 29th

This Wednesday, August 29th, is our special screening of Michael Moore’s Sicko, a documentary film examining the American health care system. The film starts at 7:00 at the Galaxy Cinema in Midland, but we are having a reception that starts at 6:00 at the Galaxy as well.

Keep in mind that this film is not covered by your subscriber pass, so if you don’t have your ticket yet, make sure to pick one up.

I will have subscription forms at the theatre for anyone who has not yet bought their pass, you can fill these out right a way or just bring it back with you for the first film on September 12th. If you have already purchased your pass, I will be mailing them out on Friday, so you should get them next week. Anyone who buys their pass after Friday, that is September 1st, will be able to pick theirs up at the theatre on the 12th.

I think that about covers everything so far, so if you have any questions please contact me here at the Museum, otherwise I will see you on Wednesday.

“heads up” interesting website: New France – New Horizons

New France – New Horizons

bilingual presentation of history documents and artifact images

To mark the 400th anniversary of the French presence in North America in 2004, France and Canada are re-creating their singular adventure and sparking new interest in their shared history, by putting documents online, reproduced in their entirety using the latest digitization technologies, and making them accessible to a broad public.

With enthusiasm and determination that reflect the scope of the project, the Direction des Archives de France, Library and Archives Canada, and the Canadian Embassy in Paris set up work teams, whose members ensured a constant and effective liaison between two continents. This portal provides access to a virtual exhibition and a database containing more than one million images. It will continue to grow and be enriched through contributions from national and local institutions that conserve archives related to the history of Canada. “
