Please come to the California Genealogical Society Library this Saturday, September 12, 2009, at 12:30 p.m. and join us at an open house to celebrate the completion of the Manuscript Collection Project. Light refreshments will be served. There will be a five to ten minute presentation about the project at 1:00 p.m. at the start of the membership meeting.
The CGS Manuscript Collection consists of loose papers, research and family history material totaling ninety linear feet which have been donated to the society over its 111 year history. A comprehensive review and organization of the collection has recently been completed by member volunteers Pat Bonderud and Linda Darby. All materials have been cataloged and a comprehensive document has been created to describe the society's holdings. Thanks to a generous grant by the BayTree Fund, all items are now arranged on open shelving in a separate room at the library and the documents are stored using acid-free and museum quality archival enclosures.
If you are interested in helping the society offer this new service, please email CGS.

Very cool! Wish I could be there today.
A wonderful job.
A Suggestion; show a before and after photo of the man...room
Amy, wish we could get you up here for Thomas' and Craig's blog program in October!
Great suggestion to run before and after photographs of the manuscript collection room. I'll dig through the old photos and see what I have.
