SUMMARY:The Observatory at Climax Presentation at the Mining Museum
DESCRIPTION:Come to the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum for a special presentation by Hannah Rose Shell \nThursday\, October 8th from 5pm to 6pm \nFree and Open to the Public! \nIn the 1940s\, the Climax Molybdenum Company collaborated with Harvard University to establish a solar observatory on Ceresco Ridge above Fremont Pass to study the corona\, the sun’s outer atmosphere. In this talk\, historian and filmmaker Hanna Rose Shell explores the observatory’s history\, its connections to the mine\, and the lives of the people who worked there. Drawing on archival photographs and films alongside her recent photography and filming at Climax\, she considers how mining and astronomy shared—and transformed—this mountain landscape. \nHanna Rose Shell is a historian of science and technology\, and a visual artist. The author and director of multiple award-winning books and documentary films\, she obtained a Ph.D. in the History of Science from Harvard\, worked as an Associate Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, and is currently a Professor in the College of Arts & Sciences at University of Colorado Boulder.

SUMMARY:Mining For Knowledge Series - Purls & Picks: The Hidden Knits of Miners
DESCRIPTION:Come join the National Mining Hall of Fame & Museum for their monthly Mining for Knowledge series. \nPurls & Picks – The Hidden Knits of Miners with Tessa Lindahl\, M.A. \nThis topic in the Mining for Knowledge series explores the unexpected intersection between the mining and knitting industries in the Yorkshire and Westmorland Dales of England. It examines how the region’s lead miners developed a unique knitting culture\, utilizing one-handed tools to create intricate knitwear during the periods when they were not actively mining. The talk delves into the historical context\, highlighting how these two seemingly opposite industries\, mining and textiles\, actually developed side by side out of necessity\, with the miners leveraging their skills and scarce extra time to produce knitted goods. This hidden knitting tradition among the miners is examined\, shedding light on the ingenuity and adaptability of this workforce. Through archival research\, the presentation paints a vivid picture of the daily lives of Yorkshire’s lead miners\, and how their knitting activities became an integral part of the regional textile heritage. The talk is likely to be of interest to those curious about the unexpected connections between industrial and craft histories. \nJoin in person at the National Mining Hall of Fame & Museum or virtually \n$20 admission or pay what you can for in person locals with ID \nVisit https://mininghalloffame.org/ and select “Tickets” then “Mining For Knowledge” to purchase online and receive video link.
