3. Town Hall Basement-Wooden Shelving |
Kinds of records: Tax Lists, Collected Cash, Board of Appeals, Board of Health, |
|
Record Keeper: Town Clerk |
Usefulness and Importance: Very important early records of the Town. Dates: late 1800s -1950s |
|
Condition: The storage these records are in is in extremely poor condition. Plastic covers the journals on the top shelf so that water doesn't leak onto them, but many of the records are wet and moldy. It was impossible to see everything because so much material was heaped around this cupboard. Recommendations: These records should be moved from the basement as quickly as possible. See recommendations under "Basement-Vault"
The shelving can be seen at the left of this photograph. Much of the material to the right has been removed since this photograph was taken in May, 2000 |
