  An extensive program of strange particle production off the proton is
currently underway with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) in Hall
B at Jefferson Laboratory. This talk will emphasize strangeness photo- and
electroproduction in the baryon resonance region between W =1.6 and 2.5 GeV,
where indications of s-channel structure are suggestive of high-mass baryon
resonances coupling to kaons and hyperons in the final state. Precision
measurements of cross sections and polarization observables are being carried
out with both electron and real photon beams, both of which are available with
high polarization at energies up to 6 GeV.
