Royalton Banner Microfilm Acquisition
Statewide Historic and Cultural Grants. $5,250,000 the first year and $5,250,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations; or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources.
We developed a budget for the purchase of the microfilm and for the reader. All budgeted items were approved by the Museum Board and the Royalton City Council. We accomplished this goal.
As part of purchasing the reader, we asked for and received training for museum board members on proper use of the reader. This was also accomplished.
Our goal is to make the access to Royalton Banner articles easier for community members. We have accomplished this by having the microfilm and reader located in the museum.
Having the microfilm and reader helps retain the integrity of the paper copies of the Royalton Banner.
