Meeting Minutes:
-
David Shawn called the
meeting to order at the Beverly Public Library at 9:40 AM.
-
Kristen reported on the
progress of her survey. She is publishing BAP Times on the web page as
her progress report on the project. All of the institutions have been surveyed
except Temple B’nai Abraham, the City Clerk’s Office, and St. Mary’s.
The City Clerk is only interested in a survey of environmental and storage
conditions. Second Congregational Church and First Parish Church have
been surveyed but Kobi is still writing their reports. She asked all
institutions to send her comments on their survey reports within 30 days of
receiving them.
-
She intends to write a
general report for the project as a whole and to write individual reports for
each of the institutions.
-
Charles Wainwright suggests
that this grant report be written so as to be useful in pursuing other grants.
-
Crystal Atherton asked what
are our group goals after this phase is complete. Tom Scully suggested
trying to get additional religious institutions to participate once we have a
tangible product to show. There was also general agreement that we
should seek grants for equipment and archival materials for the participating
institutions.
-
Barbara Broudo talked about
the preparations for the exhibit. Because Mary Ellen Smiley is no longer at
the Beverly Historical Society; Tom Scully at the Beverly Public Library,
Kevin McGrath at Beverly High School Library, Barbara Broudo at Endicott and
Carol Mori have volunteered to help people scan their materials. Barbara
outlined the process for preparing and mounting exhibit materials. Joe
Seta at Studio X will donate a large sign for the exhibit.
-
The next meeting will be a
working meeting at Dane Street Congregational Church to actually construct
exhibit boards.
Meeting adjourned at 11:20 AM.
