Another Way to Explore the Island

[medic5740]

There are lots of sources of information about Beaver Island.

The Chamber of Commerce website is one at http://beaverisland.org

There is a look back into the past of the island available to everyone in the world. A little idea about what Beaver Island was like ten years ago, created by Phyllis Moore, can be viewed at http://beaverislandtour.com and is hosted by the former owner of the Beaver Beacon and wonderful photographer Jeff Cashman.

There are many, many videos available to show interested persons about the events that happen on Beaver Island, as well as text stories and pictures. Examples include 4th of July parade and fireworks, St. Patrick's Day games, school sports events, township board meetings, AMVETs activities, and many others. These can be viewed free of charge at http://beaverislandnewsarchives.com.

There are many events that can be viewed live by anyone in the world with Internet access when they are live streamed at http://beaverisland.tv

For two years, the majority of the church services of Holy Cross Parish have been available live on the Internet, as has the Christmas Concert and the Christmas Cantata, many school sports events for many years, other school events including plays when permission is given, and many public meetings and presentations. Plans are being made to live stream some of the oral history videos of the Beaver Island Historical Society.

There is a news service on the island that has been providing text stories, pictures, and video for many years, since 1999, and is actually predating the only newspaper now printed, and that news service is Beaver Island News on the ‘Net (BINN). This news service has posted thousands of pictures on the http://beaverislandnews.com website.

There are many other wonderful photographers on the island, such as Becca Foli, Cynthia Johnson, Gregg Doig, just to mention a few. BINN is always willing to post pictures of these other photographers.

Three of these websites can be accessed from one website address: http://beaverisland.news
