This is a collection of walkthrough video clips and still images I took of the Smoky Hill Museum in Salina Kansas. There are over 8 hours of video footage with about 1206 images, not counting title images and a repeat image that was copied and pasted to represent the full collection of buffalo tags. There are several images used in the videos, but these are mostly used to highlight an item in more detail. Some images such as the rope mattress of the bed, in the Sodhut are not in the video, but can be seen only in the three PDF photograph files. Other things like a section of 'Capturing an Image' I didn't take images of, and the video footage is all that remains of this display. Several of the displays have short accompanying video documentaries that can be heard while traveling through the museum. The video "Salina: A Heritage of Milling" is also available to purchase on DVD in the gift shop, as well as the Prairie Dog and Buffalo stuffed toys. There is no cost to walk the museum, but they do has a donations case near the greeters desk. I usually try to donate at least $5 a visit, but that is optional.
While I took pictures and videos, the museum hosted two main activities, they sadly aren't part of this collection, but I thought I should mention them here. First a autograph signing of the book, "Salina's Historic Downtown" by Mary Clement Douglass, and second a free presentation lecture by Tricia Waggoner called "Excavations at Fool Chief's Village". The lecture was recorded and is probably in the archive of the museum, but so far I haven't seen it on YouTube or any other online sources. I was told that I could record the lecture but, decided not to, since it was already going to be recorded by someone else. In the 'Questions and Answers' section after the talk, I was able to ask two of my own questions.
The video clips and photographs in this collection took 15 days to capture, between August 17 - September 08, 2013. And even from one day to the next, some exhibits had changed. You might be able to notice several differences in the locations of things from images to videos.
I hope some day more museums will create their own versions of these type of walkthrough videos. Image seeing everything in The Louvre Museum in Paris, The Cairo Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Egypt, or the British Museum in the UK. They could supply far better quality images and video then those presented here. Although some have virtual maps, images, and short video segment walkthroughs on their websites, many of these things change from year to year, so their past is being lost, and can only be seen in olden photographs that only visitors have made.
