The Hershey History Center has been awarded $13,000 by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission to inventory an important collection in the archives with over 18,000 items, train staff in collections handling, and purchase preservation equipment and furniture. The project is the first of its kind at the center and a pivotal step in collections management and greater community access.
