Peoria History Through Photography<br />
March 5th<br />
Robert Killion, Curator at the Peoria Historical Society, will present a program on Peoria<br />
Photographers in the early years and will show Vintage Photographs that are archived<br />
at the Peoria Historical Society and Special Collections at Bradley University. Robert will<br />
also share ‘Historypin’ and other web resources for locating historical photography.<br />
“We’re surrounded by a myriad of relics of the past. However, what makes something worth preserving?<br />
Something can, of course, have intrinsic value. Art can be valuable, because it enlightens us or<br />
brings pleasure. Some items were made by hand with craftsmanship and pride, and meant to last.<br />
Some items are made of valuable materials. Items may be valuable, because they are still useful. Yet,<br />
items that were considered disposable and/or have little to no modern use are still often valuable.<br />
Consider that it is the stories that make artifacts valuable.” - Robert Killion<br />
Bob Killion has a BS/MS in History from Illinois State University and a MA in Museum Studies from the University<br />
of Oklahoma. He has been with the Peoria Historical Society since 2007 and is responsible for a large and varied<br />
collection. It includes two historic Museum houses, the John C. Flanagan House Museum and the Pettengill-Morron<br />
House Museum. Peoria Historical also has an extensive research collection that is on deposit at Bradley University.<br />
Special Collections.<br />
