Franklin Church and Library Complete Year-Long Project to Preserve 18th- and 19th-Century Town Records

Some written Franklin history is now being expertly preserved. The First Congregational Church of Franklin says in partnership with the Franklin Public Library, they have completed a year-long project to organize and preserve 18th and 19th century records that document the early life of the Town. They say the records originate from a time when the church functioned as the seat of government and include critical town archives from Franklin’s earliest days. They are now in the library’s secure, environmentally controlled archive room, protecting them from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and more.
