When going through donations of family history material, we generally focus on retaining materials that add to the stories of lives lived. However, many donors are often overwhelmed with what to do with other items that were treasured at one time or another.

We have one case in particular who wants to find a home for the following collections:
Readers’ Digest magazines
County Magazines
Bibles (not family bibles)
Books on Religion
Books & publications on Farm Tractors

Please send a note to us via FB Messenger if you're interested and we'll connect you.
