Subject: [INOWEN] Owen County Records... New Home!!!
Good news everyone,
Just this morning we were able to negotiate to rent the lower level of the
post
office directly across from the courthouse!!! It is plenty big enough
for all of the old records and it is dry and temperature controlled. We
have not received the paperwork yet, but it is "in the mail". The rent has
been quoted at $175.00 per month.
I'm hoping to have volunteers to help us make the move... let me know if
you
are available this Thursday or Friday. I'm not sure of the time yet,
but I will let you know. I know this is a bad time and you are all busy...
but I think we can get this done in just a few hours with your help. Email
and let me know if you can help and I'll put you on the "notify" list.
Thank you!
Hopefully, all of those who wrote earlier will now step forward and
contribute to
the fund to keep the records here for long-term housing. As
soon as we are settled in and have everything in order, we plan to start the
process of digitizing all of the records. If you are interested in
participating in this effort, please call Terresa Thompson (812-828-0064) or
Jack and Vivian Zollinger (812-829-4466) and give us your name. We will be
setting up schedules for training and working after the first of the year.
If you want to contribute to the "Housing Fund", please send your
donations to
Owen County Historical and Genealogical Society
Old-Records Housing Fund
P. O. Box 569
Spencer, IN 47460
Please make checks payable to OCHGS
Thank you all for your continued support!
