The collections of
the Archives provide a vivid picture of the growth,
development and activities of the people of the area.
The people of our
community are aware of the value of the Archives to their
daily lives, and willingly donate their personal records to
their local archives, preferring, as one donor said, to keep
his records "close to home"
