Hello, I have some metal Princeton files that I need to re-home since we use plastic now. They are medium size and grey, and could be used for magazines or possibly up-cycled into something cool. I can't post a picture because my messages get rejected for being too big so if you're interested let me know. Thanks! -- Adrienne Breznau Head of Support Services Royal Oak Public Library 222 E.

eNews from HSM: Job Postings, Wolverine State, Giving Tuesday, Bus Tour, Upcoming Events
by Historical Society of Michigan 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Looking For a Job? If you are looking for work in the history field, make sure to take a look at our <http://hsmichigan.org/resources/position-openings-in-michigan/> History Job Board. This board is an up-to-date listing of our member organizations' various opportunities from all areas of the state. They range from full-time positions to volunteer opportunities and are not limited to any specific background or job experience. To submit a listing to the History Job Board, you must be a member organization of the Historical Society of Michigan. <http://hsmichigan.org/join/> Details about joining the Society can be found on our website. <http://hsmichigan.org/resources/position-openings-in-michigan/> Take a look at the job postings! Michigan, the Wolverine State "The Wolverine State" is one of Michigan's traditional nicknames-but how common are these iconic animals? Wolverines rarely, if ever, lived in Michigan. So how did Michigan get that nickname? One belief is that people in Ohio began to call Michiganders "wolverines" during a quarrel over the state border in 1835. Wolverines are ornery animals, so Ohioans likened their neighbors to them. By 1861, University of Michigan sports teams had begun using the nickname Wolverines to equate themselves with those fierce animals. <https://www.facebook.com/michiganhistory/> Did you know this tidbit of Michigan history? Let us know on our Facebook post! A Great Time to Give As a non-governmental nonprofit, the Historical Society of Michigan depends on gifts from individuals like you to fund the work of preserving and presenting the rich, colorful history of our state. We provide a multitude of historical programs, conferences, community resources, and publications that are used to enhance Michigan's history and help preserve its various historical organizations and programs. We work toward educating and preserving the rich cultural history of Michigan, and we look for ways to preserve the history of the past, the present, and the future. For the 2017 Giving Tuesday season, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has partnered with Facebook to provide a Giving Tuesday donation match-for each donation a nonprofit organization receives on Giving Tuesday through Facebook, the foundation will match that donation. This is a monumental step for HSM, and for many other nonprofits, since it provides us with that extra "oomph" we can use to help our programs and missions continue. <https://www.facebook.com/hsmichigan/> Please stay tuned to our Facebook page for more information on how to help HSM share Michigan's history for years to come. We thank all of our members, supporters, subscribers, and fellow history fans for all that you do to help us tell Michigan's stories. Giving Tuesday is held on November 28. Michiganders on the Road Presents "Founding of America" Tour We know Michigan is a great state for culture and history. But we also know there is some great history in the other 49 states as well. That's why we developed our "Michiganders on the Road" motor coach tours-and we've already set our sights on 2018! How did our nation come about? What did the Founders envision for their country? Can a government of the people, by the people, and for the people survive? As one historian has put it, "the road from Jamestown leads to Gettysburg." We'll discover how the United States originated and how it was sustained in our 9-day, 8-night Founding of America Tour. History-packed, fun-filled, and bursting with good eats along the way, this tour is sure to delight anyone looking for a historical adventure with fellow Michiganders. <https://hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/founding-of-america-tour. pdf> View the detailed itinerary on our website. <http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michiganders-on-the-road/america-tour-regist ration/> Already know you want to come?
