The results were achieved because having these collections correctly organized and stored properly for protection and improved access has given staff and volunteers the insight to what is actually in the collections. Before the collections were kept in boxes unorganized and if a visitor asked for some historic information the staff were unsure how to find it. Now with everything cataloged into the Past Perfect Software Program along with photos it is very easy to find the information.
