Summary

The July 1971 Beaver Beacon reported that the Beaver Island Historical Museum was entering its fourteenth operating year. It described member access, sought artifact donations and summer volunteers, and printed a membership application with regular, good-will, contributing, sustaining, and life categories.

Evidence and limits

This is a membership and volunteer appeal, not a membership roll, attendance count, accession register, or charter record.
