 Beverly Archive Project  Minutes

September 4, 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  -  Girl Scouts of Eastern  Mass.  Council  Museum

John  Thomson – First  Baptist  Church

Elaine  Israelsohn -  Temple  B'nai  Abraham

Nancy  Coffey  --  Guest/New Member

Carol  Mori  -  Dane Street  Church

1.  The  June 5th Minutes were approved.

2.  Treasurer’s  Report  -   Our present balance is $1013.60 .

3.  Archives Alive  –  This is the program held on May 15th at the Beverly Public Library which BAP co-sponsored.  Carol  and  John are  preparing  2  one-half hour videos of this program to be shown on BevCam.

4.  City of Beverly Archives  -   It was suggested that we ask the City Clerk if they would like our help to organize their archives that are in the City Hall Basement.

How do/can we help them ?

5.  Elizabeth  Thompson – Nancy suggested that perhaps we could have Elizabeth Thompson conduct a session with us to help us learn how to handle photographs for archival purposes.  Of particular interest would be group pictures where individual identification has not been possible.

6.  Beverly Historical Society – It was felt that BAP  should meet at the Society so that we can become aware of what they have in their archives.

7.  Future meeting possibilities:

            October  2nd – Meet  with Dan Driscoll, who is a volunteer working on the archives at the Beverly City Hall.

            November  6th – Meet with Elizabeth Thompson.  Nancy will  talk to her.

            December  4th –  Have a meeting at the Beverly Historical Society.  Darren will arrange.

            January 8th – Oral History – Michael Kilhorn the speaker.  Nancy will  arrange.

8.         Our next meeting will be on Thursday, October 2 .

 

            Respectfully Submitted,       Elaine G. Israelsohn
