PRESERVATION QUOTES
"There
may have been a time when preservation was about saving an old building here
and there, but those days are gone.
Preservation is in the business of saving communities and the values
they embody."

Membership Information
SUSTAINABILITY TIP FOR MEMBERSHelp the AHC be more environmentally sustainable by renewing your membership promptly! Timely responses make your membership contributions go farther because they save paper, postage, and volunteer and staff time. You can even send in your dues or renew on-line prior to receiving a mailed notice by checking the renewal date noted on your newsletter mailing label. With an especially challenging economy, we are trying to be even more respectful of every dollar shared with us by members. There is usually about a one-month interval between us sending out first and second renewal notices. If you know that you will be renewing, but doing so a little late, drop an email to hollyc@VisitAHC.org to stop that second notice in its tracks. Thank you so much for your contributions and participation. Every membership matters! |
On Exhibit Now! Meyer Memorial Trust Gallery Artifacts + Archives illustrates the essential connection between paper-based archival materials in our collections and the artifacts themselves. This exhibit draws upon the Foundation's ever-expanding artifacts and archives collections, with emphasis on items that have not been seen by the public, including photographs, architectural drawings, maps, personal papers, and rare books.
