COLLECTIONS:  The Doris Page Collection is a wonderful addition to the Friends of Chrisholm archives.  Thanks to the W.E. Smith Family Trust, we were able to hire a summer intern to begin processing the collection.  Our intern, Rebecca Tinch, accomplished much this summer and about half of the collection has been identified and cataloged.  Work will continue on the collection and we will share more information as it becomes available.  Click here for the Collection's Ascession Notes and Final Report by Ms. Tinch.

Donations to the Friends Memorial Garden have allowed us to complete the next phase of the landscaping near the back porch of the Augspurger House.  You can still contribute to this wonderfulproject to honor a friend, family member, or just add to the funding to be used towards the completion of the garden.  Click here for more information.
