The Olympia Tumwater Foundation is pleased to present this online exhibit Images of the Old Brewhouse from Olympia Brewing Company and Schmidt family documents housed in our archives. This exhibit is a product of recently procured museum collection and research software (PastPerfect) made possible by a grant from the Thurston County Heritage Commission. This generous gift will assist in the collection, preservation, and publication of the Foundation's archives.
The main result of our project was the acquisition and inclusion of PastPerfect software into our archive protocol. After accessioning, scanning, and cataloging a selection of archive material, an initial exhibit was created and published on our website using PastPerfect's Virtual Exhibit module. This exhibit, Images of the Old Brewhouse, serves as a "test drive" of the vast capabilities of PastPerfect museum software.
We hope you enjoy this retrospective of the Old Brewhouse. Please check back often as we will be adding more and expanded exhibits from our archives of people, places, and events that helped shape the capital community.
