Dear Friend,

Thank you for your generous support of NJSOC’s Archives Project! Under the guidance of an experienced archivist, our volunteers are giving documents and other materials that have been stored for decades the care and attention they deserve! In this initial stage of the project, your contribution is helping to get items into clean, acid-free storage to protect them from any further deterioration. In addition to assessing the condition of materials, we’re also noting and briefly describing the content. We’re learning what we actually have in all these boxes!

This will set the stage for the next phase of the project, where materials will be cataloged and digitized. The ultimate goal of the Archives Project is to make the School of Conservation’s historical resources available and searchable online to researchers and the general public. So much of the school’s history and cast of characters figures prominently in the development of the environmental education movement. You are helping to ensure these stories will live on!

We are so grateful to you, both for the role you’ve played in making NJSOC history, and now in helping to preserve and share it!

Many Thanks!
