Answer These days, a ‘PAGE TURNER’ is a novel you can’t put down, but here the term describes this gadget dating from 1905, designed to help musicians. You can set up a few pages ready to be turned by inserting the top of each metal rod into the page and setting it to be held. Pull the catch free, and the page turns over.

As the days shorten and Bath prepares for winter, we honour the donors who preserved pieces of the past—objects that give us a window into the rhythms of village life and the lives of its families. This month’s list continues our 90th-anniversary celebration of community generosity.

I was pleased to take part in the first of six Memory Lab sessions offered by Lennox & Addington County Library! As a volunteer at Bath Museum, I’m always interested in finding new ways to preserve and share our local history. Today’s session focused on digitizing photographs, and we had a great hands-on lesson, including an introduction to free apps that can help us with our own photo projects.
I’m looking forward to the next five sessions and bringing some new skills and ideas back to the museum! A wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in preserving family photographs and memories. Thank you to the library for offering this program!
