Robert W. Rowe Public Library District

The Robert Rowe Public Library is applying for a Historical Records Preservation Grant.  Our vision is to preserve, access, and use our local history.  We plan to purchase equipment and archival products that will preserve historical maps, obituaries, and other history to a new electronic format which can be used by the public.  This grant is a "matching funds" grant.  Every dollar raised will be matched by grant funds.
