Portsmouth gets grant to preserve 1800s Overseers of the Poor documents
Portsmouth Herald
PORTSMOUTH – The city has accepted a $9,760 grant from the New Hampshire State Library for the preservation and digitization of nine volumes of historic “Overseers of the Poor” documents, dated 1853 to 1885.
The funds received from the State Library will allow for the cleaning, preservation and, in some cases, rebinding of the volumes. In addition to restoration, each document will be scanned to microfilm and digital media for preservation and improved accessibility for the public.
This preservation project was made possible through funds received from the sale of the New Hampshire Moose Conservation License Plate and administered by the New Hampshire State Library, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources.
