This week I set up my exhibt. For the first few days I was still looking for artifacts and researching the Old Salem Courthouse’s history. After I did that I went looking for the actual artifacts. I ended up finding an old oil painting, a picture of a group of men outside the side enterance of the building, and invatation from Roanoke College inviting people to the opening of the courthouse as an academic building and a bunch of postcards of it. I then started setting up my case.
I did this with out any help and I found it quite fun. I got to be creative with my placements and the story I decided to tell with my plaque. I set up the case with the oil painting and the plack in the back and then having the group picture on an elevated surface aswell as the post cards. I then put the invatation flat on the table. This make the case more 3 dimentional and more intreginig to look at.
