On
Friday my husband and I delivered the seven notebooks, containing the Susie
Watts Almond collection to the Watt's house. The Columbia County Museum
Association volunteers scanned the entire collection. They even provided a copy
on a flash drive so now I have a copy on my computer. I will also send one to
Andrea. It is absolutely amazing what is contained in these notebooks. There is
one other notebook that I already left at the house and we hope to scan it
also. This project is a miracle that happened because we connected and shared
information. She thoughtfully sent me the collection of loose papers as a
birthday present in August of 2018. It is an odd thing for a present and it
required significant time to make it workable. It is not perfectly organized
but it is usable, with page numbers added by the CCMA group. They are an
amazing group of volunteers who are dedicated to preserving the history of this
county. It is an honor and privilege to work with them.
