Got paper?

Today I attended a conference in upstate NY to discuss our archives. As the Clerk, I am the custodian of all town government archives. Needless to say, this is incredibly big responsibility as well as amazing part of my job. However, the current practice of our preservation and storage of archives can not continue. Since January I have met with representatives of NY State Archives, representatives of corporations who specialize in archive management as well as other Town Clerk's throughout the state. Over the course of the next few months I will present a phased plan to the community for our town archives. It is imperative that we take action now to preserve our history for our future.
