In November of 2019, the library engaged SIT librarian/Vermont Jazz Center archivist John Levin to review the contents of our Local History collections and identify archival gems that were hidden in plain sight, like this 1828 Brattleboro stage coach register. Despite major interruptions from COVID, John worked with volunteers and staff to complete the first leg of the project in September 2020, when he paused for a brief mask-less moment of celebration.
The Community Archives Project is funded by grants from the Vermont Community Foundation, with additional support from the Friends of Brooks Memorial Library and the Board of Trustees.
