Monroe County History Room gets $700 grant The Monroe County Local History Room and Monroe County Historical Society have jointly received a Mini-Grant for $700 from the Wisconsin Historical Society. This year’s affiliate Mini-Grant Program focused on collection management and care. The Local History Room will use the award money to pay for archival boxes in which to house the forty-plus military uniforms in its collection. The military uniform collection spans the Spanish American War of 1898 to the Gulf War. The aging uniforms need special, acid-free archival boxes to better ensure long-term preservation. |
