After finishing the CMU Honors Collection (10 cubic feet) right before the start of the term, I spent much of this school year processing the remaining boxes in the C.S. Bliss collection. The portion of the collection I processed contained mostly financial and business records, including camp orders, check stubs, and bank vouchers and statements. The collection is now fully processed and includes a total of  90 cubic feet of material.                                                                ...

1979 AuSable Canoe Race Marathon

  Recently, while processing and describing Channel 9 & 10 News film footage we found a segment of the 1979 AuSable Canoe Race Marathon showing some other race activities, and some of the top finishers. Here are a few images from that segment. The last two images are, I believe, Butch Stockton (brunette) and his partner Bob Welsh (blonde)  heading towards the bank and being briefly interviewed about how sick Butch was all night. They finished fourth that year according to the race statistics. You can Google a longer video online of the end of the race at https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Ztpi6xRtZqE.  For the stats see https://www.ausablecanoemarathon.org/stats-and-history/past-race-results/.

I’ve been working at the Clarke since January of 2022, and I’ve been incredibly grateful to have spent over three years working as a student assistant for film processing! As a student worker, I dealt primarily with archived news footage from Channel 9 & 10, a CBS station that serves the central Michigan area. As someone who’s always loved viewing film and photographs from the past, it has been a real treat to be able to see the passage of time through the archived film footage– viewing over a decade’s worth of film from the 1960’s–70’s as a worker at the Clarke.    As a student, however, I’ve primarily dabbled in storytelling! As a screenwriter, my debut screenplay placed third in the Broadcast Education Association’s Student Filmmaking Festival; and as a playwright, I am a six-time Kennedy Center American College...
