SUMMARY:Virtual Illustrated Lecture: Hair through Time
DESCRIPTION:In this virtual lecture we will learn about the many steps it takes to go from the idea for a museum display\, through the research phase\, and ending with the final product when it comes to the world of hair.

Her presentation will focus on historical styling techniques and how these can be achieved with modern day tools and products. Come along with us as we bring hairstyles of the past to life for visitors to enjoy today. \nYou can see Ashley’s work up close and in person in this year’s exhibit\, “Life with the Reilys” as she has generously loaned her wigs and stylings to enhance the mannequins in the exhibit room for the second year in a row. \nTo receive the link to attend the lecture\, please register for this free virtual program using the link below.

SUMMARY:Virtual illustrated Talk: Built on a Bluff: Investigating the Geology of PA’s Riverbanks around Fort Hunter
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder what exactly a “bluff” is? Why was Fort Hunter located where it was?  Join the Friends of Fort Hunter and Dr. Sean Cornell to explore the Fort Hunter/Susquehanna region to address some questions about how these features may have formed geologically and what they may indicate about changes in climate in PA during the recent geologic past. \nGeologists have been arguing about bluffs for decades and there are a number of hypotheses proposed about how\, why\, and when they formed. The Susquehanna River and its tributaries including the Juniata River\, not only have a number of active “bluffs” along their modern river courses\, but there are relict bluffs or terraces identifiable in the morphology of hillsides above them. In addition\, the types and textures of sediments that compose these bluffs often reveal important clues that indicate changes in river flows through time as well as climate. \nDr. Sean Cornell is professor in the Geography & Earth Science Department at Shippensburg University\, specializing in physical geology topics\, particularly sedimentary geology and geologic hazards\, among other related topics. \nThis illustrated talk is free but participants must register to receive the link by email\, to view the lecture. An email will be sent to you\, in the week prior to the lecture date\, with a link and sign in instructions to the live talk. Click here for your free ticket. \n
