All,
Since the ACPP began in 2004, you have donated over $16,000 to various preservation organizations, which are listed below.
Central Virginia Battlefield Trust - $2,502.00
Save the Franklin Battlefield - $1,441.00
Museum of the Confederacy - $920.00
Beauvoir - $650.00
South Carolina Confederate Relic Room - $3,327.95
Fort Wayne - $617.55
Perryville - $500.00
Civil War Preservation Trust - $6,903.51
Total - $16,862.01
2008 was the ACPP's most lucrative year, with nearly $4,500 going to the CWPT and SCCRR. $2,000.00 of that came from registration fees from the A/C forum.
In 2009, the ACPP will again raise money for the CWPT and I am happy to announce that our second beneficiary in 2009 will be Historic Sandusky http://www.historicsandusky.org. Greg Starbuck, Sandusky's executive director, has asked for our help to protect their collection of Civil War artifacts. See Greg's email below:
Dear Mr. Chapman,
I submit for your consideration this proposal for sponsorship of a preservation project at Historic Sandusky inLynchburg , Virginia
The nature of this project should appeal to the material culture enthusiasts on the Authentic Campaigner Forum. These days we, like most other historic sites, are struggling to just pay the utility bills. However, there are still areas of need.
Our need is with our collections. We need to acquire a quantity of preservation/archival materials for proper storage of our artifacts. Years ago, in better times, we were able to purchase some book boxes, object boxes, and document sleeves. But we need more of these items.
Right now our collection items are relatively safe, but I need to get them into archival boxes.
Some of these fascinating items include:
If the ACPP is able to sponsor this project what we can do for you is this:
Publicity of the sponsorship on theSandusky Sandusky
Accessibility of the collection to the AC readership. We can post photographs & content on the AC forum for members to research and enjoy.
Should you have any questions, please contact me. We are very hopeful that we can get these important artifacts some better storage.
Sincerely,
Gregory H. Starbuck
Executive Director
