Inventory Project

Cancelled for now

  • The Monson Historical Society maintains an office in a 7-room apartment on Green Street.
  • Over the years, many objects, papers, photos, etc. have been donated to the Society, filling the available space - there are boxes and stacks of paper everywhere!
  • In 2002, it was decided to concentrate on inventorying, cataloging and putting these items into archival storage.
  • Members meet once a week and have studied the correct ways to accomplish this.
  • One member has specialized in recording the items into PastPerfect, an internationally recognized museum software program.
