Historical society asks board to preserve memorabilia from 1914 school building
Summary
A speaker representing the Ocean View Historical Society asked the board to gather and donate school photos, artifacts and memorabilia from the 1914 building so they are not lost or damaged.
A representative said the Ocean View Historical Society, in existence since 1988 with about 150 members, requested that school memorabilia, photos and artifacts from the 1914 school building be gathered and donated to the society to prevent loss or damage. "We would love to have you publicly donate those things so they don't get lost," the speaker said, asking the board to consider the request at an upcoming meeting.
The speaker identified the society's mission to preserve local history and said they had discussed the request with the society's president and board; they asked the school board to consider consolidating memorabilia so it can be presented in the society's museum or another location in the future.
Board members acknowledged the request; no formal donation action or vote was recorded at the meeting. The speaker requested the board address the matter at an upcoming meeting so that artifacts are not thrown out or ruined.
