We are very fortunate to have a very active, very helpful Friends of the Archives group! In fact, the Friends of the Archives formed before we even had an archives building or an archivist! The group has a yearly meeting in which they have a guest speaker and archivist Ned Irwin gives an update of the past year’s activities.
Many members of the FoA are also volunteers in the archives and have been an incredible support to the archives staff. They assist in processing records, sorting, filing and typing. We’re very thankful for the organization and encourage you to join!
