ERIE HISTORICAL

MUSEUM MOVE

When the Erie Historical Museum and the Erie County Historical Society merged in January 2000, the archives and manuscript collections of the Historical Museum became part of the new organization. Since that time, with the awarding of the “Voices” grant from the Erie Community Foundation, the collections have been carefully numbered and packed for transport to the Erie County History Center, where the collections will be consolidated. Fifty percent of the EHM Archives has been moved and is now on shelving at the History Center. The balance of the EHM collections will be moved by the end of summer 2002. The collections will then be unpacked and information on the holdings integrated into the card catalog and other finding aids to help researchers find what they need.
