Smaller Societies

  • Volunteer run; members are older in age
  • Little or no operating budget
  • No archival background; do not know

preservation procedures

  • Not members of archival community
  • Not aware of resources available
  • Tend to be isolated, protective, wary
  • No disaster plan in place
slide-47
SLIDE 47

Smaller Societies

  • Goal is to preserve the history of their

specific town

  • Focus is on their specific collective memory
  • Because of that local focus, they fulfill a need

that larger county and state organizations cannot

advice
