 Beverly Archive Project  Minutes

May 1, 2008

The Beverly Archives Project (BAP) held its regular meeting at 7 PM at the Beverly Public Library,  chaired by  John Thomson. 

Present were:           

Polly  Armstrong  -  Spar & Spindle G.S. Council Museum

John  Thomson – First  Baptist  Church

Elaine  Israelsohn -  Temple  B'nai  Abraham

Thad  Outerbridge -  St. Peter’s  Episcopal  Church

Charles Wainwright – First  Parish Church

Barbara  Broudo  -   Endicott  College

Darren  Brown   -  Beverly  Historical  Society

Carol  Mori  -  Dane Street  Church

Barbara  Cook  -  Dane Street  Church

 

1.  The April 10th  Minutes were approved after changing  Polly  Armstrong’s representation from Spar & Spindle G.S. Council Museum to Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts Council Museum.

2.  Treasurer’s  Report  -   There was one expense of  $95.40 for our Website. The balance is  $ 1, 154.47.

3.  Charlie  Wainwright is trying to arrange a BAP  Tour of the Massachusetts Archives located in Boston.

4.  Fund  Raising  -  Barbara  Broudo suggested that we develop  a  three or four session revenue producing course which would be given through our Website.   Carol Mori reminded us that we already have a course and syllabus.  It can be put on BevCam, and we would own the rights to it.  The course would be reasonably priced and geared to small organizations and individuals who would be interested in learning how to preserve organizational records, or family papers and pictures, or for example, how to box a wedding dress.  It was suggested that we could generate affiliate links with such archival providers as University Products.  This would be consistent with our mission to train people and organizations to know how to preserve their archives.

We may have to register as a non-profit  501.c3  organization because of fund raising activities.

5.  Archives Alive  -  Friday,  May 16 ,  9:30 a.m.  -  12:30 p.m. at the Beverly  Library, co-sponsored by BAP.  It was decided to plug BAP by handing out our Brochure and giving away pencils with Beverly Archives Project printed in gold.

6.  Our next meeting will be on Thursday,  June 5.                                              

 

Respectfully Submitted,       Elaine G. Israelsohn
