Conservation, Manuscripts
$175
We are seeking contributors to help offset the costs of unhinging and re-boxing approximately 23,000 manuscripts in 172 volumes from the Thomas Gage Papers. Conservator Julie Fremuth will remove each manuscript from the paper on which it is currently mounted and other staff will place the manuscripts into new archival boxes and folders. A donation of $175 will support the unhinging and re-housing of one volume of the Thomas Gage Papers.
Here are a few of the key occurrences found in Volume 104, taking place between June 10 and July 29, 1771:
- Thomas Gage receives intelligence that a British soldier has been killed.
- Trade relations continue with Native Americans in South Florida.
- Ship construction continues on the northern lakes.
