MEMBER EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
NH Connecting to Collections: NH Connecting to Collections initiative is now seeking information from NH libraries and cultural organizations about important special collections. The NH State Library was awarded a $40,000 National Leadership Grant during 2009 from IMLS to create a statewide portal and database of cultural collections housed in New Hampshire’s libraries, museums, archives, religious organizations, historic sites and other culture collecting organizations. This project will bring together information about collections from all participating organizations, allowing anyone with internet access to find collections that are important to New Hampshire’s culture and history through an online portal at: www.findnhhistory.org. In the next weeks, you will receive an email invitation and link to complete this online survey about special collections in your organization. The survey will remain active through July 2010. We estimate the survey will take approximately 15 minutes or less to complete depending on how many special collections you report. Thank you in advance for your participation! The NH Connecting to Collections Partners are: New Hampshire State Library, New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, New Hampshire Division of Historic Resources, New Hampshire Division of Archives and Records Management, and New Hampshire Historical Society.

First used in New England by the Indigenous Native Peoples, the original stone or bone blade was replaced with metal when it became available. Early colonists adopted the knives, finding them more practical for many purposes then their own straight edge knives. The crooked knife is named for its angled blade and is used by drawing it toward the body. Objects made with the knives include canoe parts, basket handles, bowls, and bows. Guests were given a special introduction to the exhibit by the exhibit curator, Dr. Lynn Clark and exhibit designer, Chris Bullock. Guests also received a rare museum tour by founder Charles “Bud” Thompson who turned 88 last week. The exhibit will be on display May 1- October 31.
