BE A SOCIETY ARCHIVES ALLY!

Every day, we are making history, and the Fresno City & County Historical Society Archives' relocation is a pivotal moment in that ongoing narrative! We welcome you to join us in this monumental journey by becoming an Archives Ally. Housing over a century of Fresno's history, the Archives are a treasure trove of artifacts, images, ephemera, and collections. The task of relocating these invaluable pieces is no small feat. 

By sponsoring an item with a one-time gift, you'll contribute directly to its restoration, re-accessioning, and relocation. This is your chance to play a vital role in safeguarding our past for our present and future generations. 

Each collection requires specific resources for relocation, including shelving, containers, scanning and collection materials, plexi-cases, unbuffered tissue paper, and deacidification materials. While the task may seem daunting, with support from Archives Allies like you, we're confident in our ability to tackle this endeavor head-on.

You can also sponsor a specific collection with an ongoing monthly donation. These collections are large and will take more time, materials, and preservation care.

With each sponsorship, an Ally will receive detailed information about the collection or item they are sponsoring, including images, as well as a formal thank you in The Grapevine Newsletter and at The Archive On Kern.
