Welcome to the Logan City Historical Museum blog.

The Logan City Historical Museum, located at the old Kingston Butter Factory, has a variety of butter making machinery and complete cream records dating from the factory’s beginnings – dated back in 1907. As well, there are photographs of the Kingston Gold Mine and the WWII airfields established around the Logan area. Historical and personal memorabilia illuminating the lives of Logan’s inhabitants can be found at the museum, dating back over one and a half centuries.

This blog is dedicated to creating an online display of the museum’s historic collection available to the public, thus sharing the past of the Logan area to even more people.

Philosophy of Blogging

A Blog is like a microscope – it can be used to learn more about stuff by looking at it closely, but you can’t ever see the whole of the thing you’re examining. A Blog is in essence this vast nebulous cloud of data – much more than can be seen at one time on a screen. So like a microscope there’s several different lenses that you can use to do your examining. The home page lens is focussed on whatever has most recently been added to the cloud of data. Plus it will always show some fixed items (the design template and navigation links) visible on every page. Which is similar to the way you can always find the magnification selector on a microscope, no matter what’s showing up in the field of vision. Some of the other lenses in the blog related to the way the data is stored, such as “archive” to search by the date items were added, and by “tags” and “categories” to help you hunt for stuff when you know broadly what you’re looking for. In the microscope allegory that’s a bit like knowing that you need to select say 150X  in order to count the number of hairs on an insect’s foot.
