The Lebanon County Historical Society received a $5,000 grant through the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission to protect and secure its archival collection. Through this grant, the historical society will have the funding necessary to improve its infrastructure, storage, and care of artifacts of the county's history.

The grant will be used to address the harmful effects of lighting in the archival area. It will also be used to obtain more archival quality boxes to replace older, broken boxes; place folders in boxes to remove them from storage or floor locations; and assist in the cataloging process.
