Kick off your Fourth of July with the national bird, the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)! The Museum’s Bald Eagle Diorama depicts a scene set near Alaska’s Chilkat River. Around November, when the chum salmon spawn and then die, Bald Eagles old and young congregate in numbers to feed upon salmon carcasses. This majestic bird of prey has a wide range throughout North America, soaring high in the sky with a wingspan of up to 8.5 ft (2.6 m)! You can spot this raptor in the Hall of North American Birds. The Museum is open today from 10 am–5:30 pm! Plan your visit: https://bit.ly/4brkWaP Photo: © AMNH

Did you know that vibrations and gravity can change the dioramas in the Museum Galleries? These dioramas are cared for by our Conservation team, who have a variety of challenges in their up-keep and must constantly adapt to find solutions to issues that arise! Learn about some of the work of a conservator in this video with Assistant Conservator Loren.

Isthmus Energy Systems is focused on developing agrivoltaic projects at the intersection of energy, agriculture, and sustainability.
The American Bison is the keystone species of the Great Plains. Illinois is the Prairie State. One of my goals is to see millions of acres to Bison range restored by grazing them beneath wind turbines combined with agrivoltaics. I've been inspired by Earthship Biotecture building methods throughout my life and hope to see earth berm passive geothermal structures create large enclosures combined with high tension electric fencing to make a series of zones for various agrivoltaics, carbon removal, and microgrids to support new advanced manufacturing based on the synergies of these methods. Biochar is one of most promising forms of carbon removal that can enter many aspects of circular economies and even value added to graphene using Flash Joule Heating. Modular datacenters with batched computing capable of balancing the grid can be paired with energy storage on every transformer at the base of each wind turbine or solar grid interconnection point. As a society we should aspire to build resilient infrastructure that is impervious to unforeseen future incidents like an Asteroid impact and so Earth Berm structures can protect these uninterruptible power supplies while sheltering the true treasure of this country in the form of biodiversity of living species across the great plains and their original stewards, The American Bison.
Hey You! Did you know buffalo is a common name or nickname for North American bison. It comes from the French word: boeufs (which means beef) Learn more out these amazing creatures on our website bisoncenter.org or stop in the museum today!

Archaeological discoveries play a crucial role in reconstructing the tapestry of history, shedding light on civilizations long gone. While professionals lead the charge, amateurs also contribute significantly to this endeavor. Their discoveries, whether chance finds or dedicated pursuits, often unveil hidden treasures and overlooked insights, enriching our understanding of the past. These discoveries aren't merely artifacts; they are windows into bygone eras, offering glimpses into the daily lives, beliefs, and achievements of ancient peoples. Amateurs bring diverse perspectives and enthusiasm to the field, supplementing the efforts of experts and democratizing the exploration of our collective heritage. Together, their findings form a mosaic that deepens and broadens our comprehension of human history. https://lnkd.in/eSpnVVGz

PEST MANAGEMENT IN MUSEUMS #Insects are responsible for significant damage to #museum_exhibits, #historical_books and #buildings. Different types of insects attack different materials. A few common parasites are found in collections in Europe, but most of them circulate worldwide. AgroSpeCom uses the Integrated Pest Management (#IPM) approach in museums, identifying the most vulnerable #collections, implementing #preventive_measures and #monitoring. An additional part of the IPM strategy is the #training of museum staff on the main #pest_challenges. More information on the Museum's #pest_management can be found here: https://shorturl.at/Ehsha Watch our new #video here: https://shorturl.at/pN49S

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. ATTN NASHVILLIANS WHO WANT TO ACTIVELY SHAPE OUR FUTURE… are you also controlling the past?? Are you controlling your present?? If you haven’t already signed up, this is an incredibly powerful way to take this moment in time to directly impact the way we move in the future… to combat the censorship and revisionist history some other (ahem) groups are pushing. Historians know that it’s not just about interrogating the voices we do hear, but also interrogating the cause of absent voices. And asking “If the voice were present, what would it say? How would it impact the story that’s being told?” Too much of history education is already reduced to excerpts and quotes taken out of context, and truly voices are at real risk of erasure. Come hear their stories before they’re lost to history so that we can impact a more thoughtful, inclusive future. Also Tamyra Gordon MSEd is just really fantastic and you should support her work. 💥

It’s August - officially days away from our Greenwood Seneca and #preservationsocietynashville next Your Legacy Tours event at TRAVELLERS REST HISTORIC HOUSE MUSEUM INC 🖤 If we don’t go back with the goal of reclaiming their names and narrative then we leave them to be erased. Join us on their grounds, the space they occupied and continue to call them into existence. The truth is at risk of extinction. Let us be their storytellers. 📖✊🏽 Link to join below. ⬇️ A few spots left. https://lnkd.in/g_VmHAdy

We have been crunching the numbers on the industrial heritage survey that we have been doing for Historic England and The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. Some headlines from our work so far… - 48% of sites are owned by a preservation trust or society; 25% are in local authority ownership - 45% of sites are accredited museums - On average each site spent £192,163 on repairs and maintenance over the last three years - 53% of sites had found it ‘quite difficult’ to secure public sector funding in the last three years; only 40% had sought sought private sector support - The majority of volunteers are over 65 years old; 74% of sites said they found it ‘fairly difficult’ or ‘very difficult’ to attract new volunteers, and especially young volunteers - Over 40 million people visited independent designated industrial heritage sites during the last three years, the majority of whom were non-specialist family audiences Still lots more to unravel — but a mixed picture, with lots of scope for future development. The full report will be out later in the summer, and we will do a more comprehensive update in the next few weeks.
