Please join us for our new exhibit during the St. Augustine History Festival, May 8 – 12, for Pics: Photographs from UFHSA Governor’s House Library at Governor’s House Cultural Center and Museum. Staff members volunteered to select from UFHSA Governor’s House Library’s collection of nearly 28,000 print photographs, negatives, and slides. Each accompanied their picks with a written statement explaining their connections to ideas and places in the images.
This group-curation aligns with the idea that a museum is more than what’s on display. It is a place of ideas and collaborations. We are a passionate collective from a variety of backgrounds and lifestyles. In opening the curatorial process, the exhibit Pics offers insight into how we each approach, understand, and value history in our shared building and city. It captures the thoughts and feelings residing within the people who are the engine of Governor’s House today.
Pics: Photographs from UFHSA Governor’s House Library is made possible by UF Historic St. Augustine, Inc.
