Sponsored by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners LSTA grant, Susan Edwards will be here via Zoom on Thursday, August 12th at 6:30 pm.  Susan is a University Archivist and Special Collections Librarian at Salem State University.  This talk would help us to understand exactly just what materials we should keep in our collections and what materials we should add to our collections.  Now that the town is taking steps to try to organize all of our historical documentation, it will be helpful to know exactly which materials should be collected. You must register for this event. Register here.
