Summary

The February 1976 Historical Society notices ask islanders to supply dates and ownership information for historic buildings and sites, report growing museum interest, and seek a fireproof safe for valuable documents.

Evidence and limits

The report records appeals and local activity, not a completed preservation survey, membership census, or acquisition of a safe.

Sources

See the sources block above.
