Mark Your Calendar..... PIKES PEAK REGIONAL HISTORY LECTURE SERIES THROUGH HER LENS: THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF SARA JACKSON LOOMIS Presented by Leah Davis Witherow, CSPM Archivist & Curator of History DATE CHANGE! Saturday, March 18th (2:00pm – 3:00pm) Once introduced to photography by her favorite uncle Willard Jackson in the 1890s, young Sara fell in love with both the expressive and documentary qualities of the medium. After experimenting with various photographic processes and techniques, she settled on her own unique style and amassed a collection of more than 20,000 images throughout the next six decades. Even more incredibly, Sara organized her photographs chronologically in a series of albums that span the course of her life. This illustrated talk will examine the wealth of history recorded Through Her Lens: The Photography of Sara Cartwright Jackson Loomis. CHILDREN’S HISTORY HOUR - KEEP CLIMBING! Wednesday, March 15th & Saturday, March 25th (10:30am - 11:30am) Julia Archibald Holmes was the first woman to climb to the top of Pikes Peak! No one thought she could do it, but she believed she could succeed.
