Michigan History Magazine Receives
Honorable Mention at Eddie and Ozzie
Awards Banquet 

On Tuesday, October 9, 2018, Michigan History magazine was recognized as a
honorable mention at this year's Folio: Eddie & Ozzie Awards, a prestigious
publishing awards program. The annual program recognizes the very best in
editorial and design and is the most comprehensive of its kind in the
industry.

In August 2018, the January/February 2018 issue of Michigan History was
named one of three finalists for a "Full Issue" Eddie Award in the category
of "City & Regional-Midwest." On October 9, Executive Director and CEO Larry
J. Wagenaar attended the awards gala in New York City to accept the
recognition on behalf of HSM.

UPCOMING OFF-SITE WORKSHOP: 
Taming the Chaos & Clutter: Collections Management for Small Museums

"What numbering system should we use? Where do you write the numbers? How do
you apply the numbers, and with what? Is it OK to write on a photograph?
What's that thing called Chenhall's Nomenclature?" If these questions sound
familiar, this is the workshop for you. On Wednesday, October 24, from 1 to
4 p.m., an experienced registrar will demystify museum registration methods
and help you catalog collections the right way.

Please Note: This workshop will take place at the Luce County Historical
Museum, at the Newberry American Legion, 7964 State Highway M123, Newberry,
MI 49868. Remote access will NOT be available.

Jeep Goes to War

In 1940, Karl Probst of Detroit designed a new army scouting car in only two
days. The Willys-Overland Company built jeeps, but the army needed so many
that Ford Motor Company began to build them, too, and ended up producing
640,000 wartime Jeeps. No one knows how the World War II "Jeep" got its
name, but it might be named for the Popeye comic strip character "Eugene the
Jeep" or from the Army initials "GP," which stands for "General Purpose."
