Hebron Historical Document Project by Carla Pomprowicz

The collection as found in the Old Records Building

Folded & tied with string

Document from December 6, 1786

Ledger – Jacob Loomis

One of many receipts

and various documents

More stuff

Where do we start?

We needed a little direction

Professional Consultants Cynthia Swank & Peter Parker of the Inlook Group

We posted lists of record group categories

And names to watch for

That list would grow

Volunteers extraordinaire Dottie – Marie – Jean - Ann

Crawford Westbrook

This is important work

It’s interesting work

We found that each and every bit of information is truly a treasure

We couldn’t have picked a more fun and dedicated group of volunteers to archive these documents

Ann

Merris interfiling

Choosing the right record series was challenging at times

Carla & Merris

Hmmm

The volume of records expanded as we opened and sorted them

And expanded and expanded

Each records series needed to be organized in chronological order

The boxes are now labeled with a record series and box number

When we reached this point we found more boxes of documents… To be continued…………
