What makes up an archive?

We have received many wonderful articles, maps, newspapers, and photos for our archives. We have received wonderful donations of ephemera including church programs, school records, and more. These physical items will be digitized, recorded and then shared for all to see through the website. We thank our donors and their generous contributions to the SVBHP.
