Summary

In October–November 2019, organizers solicited recipes, family photographs, stories, and transcription volunteers for a Historical Society revival of an 1980s Beaver Island cookbook, with planned proceeds for a museum addition.

Evidence limits

This record documents a cultural-publication project and its appeals, not a completed reissue or audited fundraising result.

Sources

  1. The Historical Society sought typists to re-enter an 1980s cookbook and new family recipes, saying proceeds from the earlier edition helped rehabilitate the Print Shop and proceeds from a new edition would support a museum addition. This is an organizational project statement, not proof of publication, proceeds, or completed construction.

  2. The organizers solicited recipes, family photographs, stories, and volunteers to retype an 1980s island cookbook for Historical Society reissue; they said proceeds would support a museum addition and later extended the image/story deadline. The topic does not document publication, final contents, proceeds, or the relationship between the original cookbook and held editions.
