Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Publications of the Buffalo Historical Society, Vol. 25: The Book of the Museum In devoting the larger part of this volume of its Publications to its Museum, and in telling the story of some articles in it, The Buffalo Historical Society is merely saying a word or so regarding that feature of its establishment by which it is best known to the local public. Thousands stroll through the rooms and galleries of the Museum, who never use the Society´s library, and who, not being members of the institution, do not share in the annual programme of entertainments, nor do they receive the volumes which the Society gives to all on its membership lists. It is, beyond question, by the Museum that we are best known in the home community. But many visitors here, as in all museums, look with unseeing eyes. It is no reflection on the casual visitor, to say that the significance of some article of historic association is not always apparent to him. The thing itself rarely tells its own story. To help in such telling, is the object of the museum sketches in this book; and since these Publications are freely available to the general public, in our libraries and schools, it is our hope that a greater knowledge of the Museum may bring a still greater interest. The Museum is often thronged, and all who come are welcome. It will, we apprehend, be something of a revelation, even to many who have thought they knew this Museum well, to discover how much of history, and what important history, attaches to many of the relics gathered here. We have told the "story" of but a score or so. Many times that number might be written of with equal interest.
