Framing Narratives: An Examination of Women's Histories in the Wyatt Historic House Museum
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Historic house museums can offer unique access to a variety of histories and narratives.However, there is a tendency for homes to be reconstructed, conserved, and curated as historic house museums in an attempt to preserve male-centred histories.This male focus within a domestic context is ironic, as the home was a place strongly associated with constructed ideals of women during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Adopting a material culture perspective, this thesis explores the potential of house museums to provide rich and textured histories through the curation and interpretation of historical objects, including the architecture of the house itself.My thesis examines the Wyatt Historic House Museum as a site that successfully frames women's histories and narratives.I discuss a series of objects and architectural elements of the home and consider in particular how they contribute to a narrative framing of women's health issues during the period.i When first entering the Wyatt Historic House Museum, located in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, visitors are greeted by two framed oil on canvas portraits of women seated in domestic interiors.Hung directly across from one another in the front entrance hall, the portraits depict the two daughters of Summerside's prominent Wyatt family: Wanda Wyatt [Figure Intro.1] and Dorothy Wyatt [Figure Intro.2].Miss Marion Jack, a friend of the girls, painted the portraits while the three were in Chicago together in the late 1910s.Adhering to conventions of the turn 3

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
