The Pat Mitchell Collection contains thousands of portraits from Hirst Studio, hundreds of photos from across the history of the city of Hutchinson, historic newspapers, as well as Pat’s own scrapbooks and research notes. As of now more than 2,000 studio portraits are available for viewing online via WSU’s Special Collections and University Archives webpage, linked on our website www.renocomuseum.org
To celebrate this collection and to take public access even further, we are opening our newly revamped research library on December 10, 2021, The Pat Mitchell Research Library! We will for the first time ever have a computer available allowing the public to come into the museum and access our database listing every artifact currently in the collection.
We invite the public to attend the opening reception from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. on December 10, 2021. We will open with information about the project and celebrate this milestone in historic preservation with us. In addition to this project, we have even more to celebrate. We are also opening our newest exhibit “Reno County Is” featuring the stories of individuals throughout our county history including Pat Mitchell. This gallery, as well as our other exhibits will be open during the reception for viewing as well.
