Welcome to the Kevin & Marina Brown Artifact Collection.

These items were donated to the Central Kansas Corvette Association at the May 13, 2024 membership meeting 
by Past-President Kevin and Marina Brown. Thank you!

At the conclusion of the meeting, CKCA members Gerald and Denise Haughton took temporary possession of the collection, in order to inventory, document and photograph the items for inclusion in the 'CKCA HISTORY' section of our website.

​Documenting this collection is an ongoing project.

​– GH, 05/28/2024

UPDATE: Phase I of documenting, photographing and creating individual pages for the Kevin & Marina Brown Artifact Collection is now complete – fifteen of the 17 items in the collection are shown below; please click on the thumbnails to be directed to each item.

These fifteen items are now bubble-wrapped and carefully stowed in a plastic tote for safekeeping. A printed "inventory" (which will include the URL to this page, i.e., https://www.ckca.club/the-kevin-and-marina-brown-artifact-collection.html) will be included in the tote for future reference as to the contents and their provenance.

​
​This inventory will be particularly helpful if/when the day comes our club donates these items to the Reno County Museum; it will make proper accessioning by the museum much easier and thus hopefully prevent these items from getting "lost."

Remaining to be documented are two large banners. These tasks will be completed shortly.

If you have CKCA-related artifacts in your possession that you would like to see displayed on our website, please reach out. Thanks again to the Browns for donating this collection of priceless CKCA history to the club!
