Also not to forget the non-humans: holding lemming, loon, and finch along the way!

Not skiing related, but I wrote a chapter on the elk refuge (open access too! ) that puts it into a bigger perspective on the circulation of images, animals in the archive, and settler colonial violence. uw.manifoldapp.org/projects/bel...

Quite brutal bludgeoning, with kids partaking too. I’m working on a small article on finding (by happy accident) similar photos of jackrabbit hunts in the archive.

Will have to read! Love all stories of animals being moved around by plane, helicopter, train etc.
Wonder if there are other mid-cent films focusing on animal reintroduction or removal?

My article discusses 19th cent self-taught naturalist Martha Maxwell, who was ahead of her time in modernizing taxidermy and its display. I conclude by sharing the experience of holding one of the finches she collected in the 1870s.

My favorite find in the archive: a letter from 1874 addressed to Maxwell that crosses out the stationery’s “Sir”
