Letters from Japan

(Sept 7 to Feb 17)

This exhibit showcases selected letters, gifts and pictures that Michiyo Shirai sent Shirley Woodall from 1950 to 2017. The letters and gifts were chosen for their personal, historical and/or cultural significance, and are used to illustrate an example of Japanese culture during this period.

Captured Under Glass 

(Exhibit extended to early 2020)

In the digital era, it is difficult to imagine the time-consuming and painstaking effort it took to make images in the early years of photography. One of the earliest photographic processes was to capture a negative image through a camera on a chemical treated glass plate, which was then in turn used to develop a paper positive print. Glass plate negatives where sharper and better than previous methods and allowed for the photographer to create multiple copies from a single negative. This made them the predominate method of taking a photograph from 1860 to the early 1900s when it was surpassed by film. Come and see the stunning collection of glass plate negatives at the Woodstock Museum.
