A generous donor will match up to $1,000 raised through this challenge. Your donations will help fund the assessment and conservation of some of our oldest holdings. Items such as a 1682 bible translated and annotated in England by John Canne and a ledger belonging to Sawyers Island resident Joseph Patten dated 1753-1762 may require professional assessment. Others may simply require some TLC from volunteers equipped with the necessary tools, training, and archival storage materials.
