As a continuation from a previous 2024 Windows in Time talk on Peter Britt’s glass negatives in the Southern Oregon Historical Society archives, Ben Truwe will focus on the trips Britt took to Crater Lake, Klamath County and California.

Medford resident Ben Truwe is a recovering printer and a former trustee of SOHS. He is the author of the Looking Back Jackson County history books and curator of the massive Southern Oregon History, Revised web site, spending decades tracking down, transcribing and annotating historical source documents from the 1850s to the 1950s and making them easily available online.

The monthly Windows in Time lunchtime lectures feature well-known writers and historians and bring alive the people, values, and events that shaped our southern Oregon heritage. Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Southern Oregon Historical Society (SOHS) and Jackson County Library Services. Programs are presented in Medford (first Wednesdays, in-person and online) and again in Ashland (second Wednesdays, in-person). Registration is only required to attend the Zoom version of Medford's program. Recordings of Medford presentations are available on the JCLS Beyond YouTube channel
