Description

The Historical Society of Cheshire County relies on historical sources to communicate local history. The documents, photographs, and artifacts preserved in its archives have led to hundreds of talks, workshops, walking tours, exhibits, school resources, and publications. Yet, there are gaps in the collections. There are stories missing from our local history, memories not preserved. The "Recovering Black History in the Monadnock Region" project is filling in some of those gaps using citizen archivists. In her presentation, director of education Jennifer Carroll will share the origins of this project, some initial discoveries, and future goals. www.hsccnh.org
