Membership Notes
COVID-19 has strained finances for many of us. The historical society will not be able to have a major fundraiser this year. Also we have had no donations at meetings, the library or the museum while we have been closed. We anticipate very few sales from our store this year. That leaves our income dependent on continued flat Buxton and Hollis town support and your memberships. We have sufficient reserves to ride out this crisis, but your membership support is more important than ever before. Please keep your membership current and if able think about volunteering for some of our work as we are able to do it safely.
We are less visible this year, but are remaining active to support the many historical inquiries we get from Facebook, our web site, email and on the answering machine. We are also continuing with reduced volunteer work for accessioning donated items, scanning images (about 1,000 now), converting old VHS programs to digital format and renovating our dry basement space for archiving and workspace. We have continued to receive and catalog donations. We will add content to our newsletter and move more services to digital access , but we look forward to putting on programs and seeing you in person as soon as we are able.
