AUBURN The Androscoggin Historical Society has received a $6,000 grant from the The Davis Family Foundation to improve storage conditions for its many artifacts and archives, the society has announced.
Since 1923, the society has accumulated books, research materials, and artifacts on the history of Androscoggin County and the State of Maine. Since 1935, it has occupied the third floor of the County Building with the Davis-Wagg Museum, the Clarence March Library, the “small museum,” and associated hallways and closets.
For at least 20 years, it has been evident that the collection was outgrowing the available space. As a result, roughly half of the “small museum” has evolved into storage for un-displayed items and little-used reference material.

For Douglas Hodgkin, the history at the Androscoggin County Historical Society is his own. A descendent of Jonathan Hodgkin, an original settler in the late 1770s, some of the artifacts housed in the rooms at the top of the Androscoggin County Courthouse in Auburn are ones his family is intimately connected to.
Though he didn’t know the “depth” of his ancestry, Hodgkin joined the society because he knew it was “part of my heritage.” He quickly worked his way up to becoming the president, though currently he is the newsletter editor, secretary, and the Collection Committee chair.
