I'm pleased to announce the Ladies & Gentlemen of the 1860s Conference Commitment to Preservation. Our particular area of interest is the preservation of original clothing and articles of material culture. During the past three years, the proceeds from selected pre-conference Workshop/Tours have benefited local institutions. We are pleased to announce we have raised in excess of $2,500.00 for the Adams County Historical Society, $1,000.00 for the archives at the Gettysburg National Military Park, $800.00 for the Shippensburg University Fashion Archives and Museum, and $250.00 for the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center. The total amount of our contributions to date exceeds $4,550.00.
Proceeds from select 2009 Workshop/Tours will benefit the Archives at the Gettysburg National Military Park and the Adams County Historical Society. You can find information on the 2009 Conference in the announcement on the Civilian Forum or on our web page at www.genteelarts.com The Conference will continue to support these and similar institutions in the future.
