The collection features everything from postcards and photographs to silverware, period magazines and firearms - all on show to the public for the first time.
It even includes the pen used by Sir Edward Carson to sign the Ulster Covenant.
Many of the objects are directly connected to key events and personalities associated with the historic signing, like Carson, John Redmond, Fred Crawford and James Connolly.
It is part of the 'The Ulster Crisis: Irish Home Rule and the Ulster Covenant 'exhibit, which looks at unionist and nationalist politics of the time in the context of the wider world and contemporary issues, such as the changing role of women and workers' rights.
William Blair of National Museums NI said: "The exhibition marks, not only the centenary of the signing of the Ulster Covenant, but also examines the much broader political and cultural context of this remarkable era leading up to the start of the First World War.
"Highlights include an original copy of the Scottish Solemn League and Covenant of 1643 (an inspiration for the 1912 Ulster Covenant), a ticket for a pro-Home Rule meeting at Celtic Park attended by Winston Churchill and John Redmond, as well as the only surviving poster of the Proclamation signalling the establishment of an Ulster Provisional Government should Home Rule become law."
Meanwhile a celebration will take place in the grounds of Stormont on Sunday 29 September to mark the centenary of the Ulster Covenant.
The Orange Order said it expects thousands of people to gather for the event in east Belfast following a parade through the city, with music, games and entertainment put on.
Grand Master of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, Edward Stevenson said: "We expect the event on September 29 to be an occasion to remember and one worthy of the centenary.

5 ways to make your Florida garden beautiful right now
- 12:37 pm Thursday, October 30th, 2014 by Barbara Marshall
Plant people wait all year for this weekend's fall plant sale at Mounts Botanical Garden. Here's five ways to lend color and beauty to your yard this winter.
1. Hang an Orchid. From heat-loving vandas to shade-loving phalaenposis (butterfly orchids), orchids add color and exoticism to your pool enclosure, patio or balcony.
2. Plant some pots. Make yourself happy by filling containers with lots of cheerful color that will last until spring.
3. Eat really local, as in, from your own backyard. Plant veggies, an avocado tree, citrus or bananas, then brag about it in February to northern friends.
4. Plant nighttime fragrance. Install night-blooming flowering shrubs such as [More]
Peek inside a Palm Beach mansion
- 6:36 pm Wednesday, October 15th, 2014 by Barbara Marshall
What do you get for $12 million in Palm Beach? A fixer-upper.
Designed by society architect Addison Mizner in the early 1920s, the mansion called Amado was built for Charles Munn, a social arbiter known as "Mr. Palm Beach. The 23,000-square-foot North County Road property remained in the Munn family until 2000. Three years later, it was it was sold to a Quebec LLC firm for just over $12 million.
While "Amado" means "beloved" in Spanish, this Palm Beach grande dame wasn't. The new owners wanted a new interior.
According to "Architectural Digest," which profiles the home's reconstruction in its November "before and [More]

CBS stays out of this world, renews "Extant" and "Under the Dome"
- 3:49 pm Thursday, October 9th, 2014 by Kevin D. Thompson
Depending on your point of view, it's either good news that CBS renewed summer sci-fi shows, "Extant" and "Under the Dome" or bad news.
I'm in the bad news camp.
After such promising starts, both shows fizzled faster than a firecracker in the rain. I was especially disappointed in "Extant," which stars Halle Berry as a comely astronaut (!!!) who flew to outer space on a solo mission and came back with a stowaway inside her belly.
What looked like an intriguing "Rosemary's Baby" meets "Alien" drama turned into a mostly silly and hokey snoozer that often left me scrambling for the remote.

How a Palm Beach Post reporter survived 'Halloween's Michael Myers at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights
- 7:00 am Wednesday, October 1st, 2014 by Kevin D. Thompson
ORLANDO — Since 1978, the year John Carpenter's cult-classic "Halloween" began scaring movie audiences, homicidal, knife-wielding Michael Myers only existed on film. In later years, the mask-wearing Boogeyman made it to video, DVD and, in recent years, on blue-ray in a ridiculous number of sequels and reboots.
The point is, Michael never actually lived and breathed in the real world, except for those people who dressed up like him in lame costumes on Halloween.
Well, that's changed.
Universal Orlando Resort has faithfully recreated the spooky "Halloween" universe — including Carpenter's haunting score — for Halloween Horror Nights 24 in what is arguably the [More]
Enigma Haunt transforms old Boca Raton gym into haunted house
- 1:00 pm Tuesday, September 30th, 2014 by Staci Sturrock
What began as a simple, front-patio, trick-or-treat attraction run by a local family 15 years ago is now Enigma Haunt — two floors of an old Bally's Gym transformed into what Enigma hopes is your worst frightmare.
Located near Town Center at Boca Raton mall, Enigma Haunt will start scaring up screams at 7:30 p.m. Friday and will run every weekend through Nov. 1, plus some Sundays and Thursdays.
A portion of online ticket sales are earmarked for the Wounded Warrior Project, and this year Enigma Haunt also will collect items for two local charities. Those who bring food items for Boca Helping Hands and animal shelter items for [More]

- 8:30 am Friday, September 19th, 2014 by Staci Sturrock
The South Florida Science Center's Titanic exhibit was a show of blockbuster proportions, shattering all Science Center records for attendance and revenue.
But the staff of the Dreher Park institution thinks its next exhibition will blow Titanic out of the water.

Arrrrre You Ready for Talk like a Pirate Day?
- 6:00 am Friday, September 19th, 2014 by Barbara Marshall
Don't act like a scurvy pirate, but aye, ye can speak like one this day.
But first, ye need yer pirate name from a pirate name generator.
(This one is little matey-friendly.)
Here's a few things you probably didn't know about pirates:
1. Pirates may actually have said something like "Arre" or "arrgh," although the term was popularized by movie pirates Lionel Barrymore and Robert Newton. Many English sailors – and pirates- came from the Cornwall coast in SW England, where the locals rrrrrolled their rrrrr's.
2. Pirates were also called buccaneers, which comes from the French word [More]

The secret to living longer
BY Lisa Guy Nutrition expert
Here are some simple tips for increased longevity.
Dan Buettner, a US longevity expert, recently teamed up with National Geographic to identify the world's "blue zones'' or longest-living communities. People from these communities reach 100 and suffer only a fraction of the rate of heart disease and cancer of the rest of the developed world.
Among other lifestyle factors, regular consumption of fruit and vegetables aids quality of life and longevity. Healthy vegetarian diets have been associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Only one in 10 Australian adults is getting their recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables, putting them at a higher risk of disease and giving them a shorter life expectancy. Adults should eat at least five servings of vegetables and two or more servings of fruit a day.

Posted in the front office of the San Lucas elementary school are the usual notices — a newspaper clipping about a local boy playing college football, an autism flier, a calendar. The warning about nitrate contamination in the drinking water is to the right of the cafeteria menu (Fridays are always pizza) and directly below the note about the sale of school "spirit paws."
For three years, residents of this unincorporated farming community of about 80 homes in California's agriculturally rich Salinas Valley have not been able to drink the water. It may seem remarkable that a community in California, one of the wealthiest states in one of the wealthiest countries, does not have safe drinking water. But for the residents of San Lucas, water problems are nothing new.
Not a drop (of tap water) to drink in San Lucas, California

CDC confirms preliminary Ebola diagnosis for Dallas healthcare worker
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed the latest Ebola diagnosis of a Dallas healthcare worker. CDC officials have interviewed the female health worker and are blaming to her contraction of the deadly disease on a "breach of protocol," although they cannot confirm where or how the breach occurred.
"It is deeply concerning that this infection occurred," CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said during a press conference on Sunday. "We are assessing her possible contacts from the moment she discovered symptoms."

India lashed by big cyclone; typhoon hits Japan
Heavy rains and gusts ripped through a large swath of India's eastern seaboard, uprooting trees and snapping power cables as a powerful cyclone swept through the Bay of Bengal and slammed into the southern city of Visakhapatnam, one of two storms pounding Asia on Sunday.
In Japan, at least 35 people have been reported injured as Typhoon Vongfong, packing winds of up to 180 kilometers (110 miles) per hour, unleashed rains and gusts on Okinawa and was aiming at the next island of Kyushu, where authorities told 150,000 people to evacuate.
Battle for Kobane: Islamic State tries to isolate the town
At least 553 people are said to have died in a month of fighting for Kobane, the Kurdish town just inside Syria under Islamic State (IS) attack.

But now, thanks to rapid advances in telemedicine, Alaskans don't need quite so many doctors throughout the state. Though 65 percent of the state's doctors are located in Anchorage, a woman in Alaska's Northwest Arctic Borough can give birth aided just by a nurse guided, over video, by a doctor, some 200 miles away.

Scientists create breakthrough recipe to grow insulin-secreting cells by the billions
Scientists announced a breakthrough that could one day free millions of diabetes sufferers from a lifetime of insulin injections.
The discovery described in the journal Cell on Thursday and led by stem cell researcher Douglas Melton is a method of growing billions of precious insulin-secreting cells en masse using human stem cells. Patients could receive a single transplant with the newly generated cells, which would have the ability to read out the amount of sugar in the blood and squirt out just the right amount of the hormone insulin.

Once, while stranded for many months away from home and suffering from loneliness, I read my way through the biographical section of the small local library. How I wish I would have had the pleasure of coming to know, in that bleak time, P. Anna Johnson through her book Australia Years. The author gives the reader an intimate experience of Australia in the early 1960's. It depicts the life of a young mother breaking free of the 1950's American conservatism and political ignorance. She is self-revealing with a light touch as well as humble, loving and full of wonder at the wider world and her time in history. A lovely, timeless autobiography.Was this review helpful?
