The multi-year project to collect, sort, organize and inventory our Perennial Planter’s Club Archives has been a Herculean task. The Archives team has fulfilled almost all of the necessary steps in order to have our Club historical records in proper order, and ready to be donated to Brown University’s Hay Library. We recently received word that the Hay Library will close this summer 2013, for a year-long renovation. They plan to reopen in fall 2014. We decided that it was prudent to hold onto our Club Archives for the duration of the renovation, and so, our Archives will not be donated to the Library until fall 2014.
This delay means that our hunt will continue for some missing club documents. We ask that you please review the list below, and let us know if you have any of these records, which we will happily take and add to the Club’s Archive files. Additionally, should you come across any Perennial Planter files, reports, projects, event or activity notes, pictures, newspaper clippings, documents etc. which you would like to give us for the Archives, please get your files/information to Fraser Gilbane. We will add to the Archive files as appropriate, and as needed.
Our current missing documents list:
Annual Reports: 07-2008
Membership lists: 1958, 1968-69; 1971-72; 1974-75
Planter Newsletters: Missing Sept ‘06 – June ‘07; Missing Sept ‘07 – Dec ‘07; Missing Oct ‘11, Dec ‘11, March ‘12
