Please help us protect the history of Huron County by completing the following survey on the preservation of archival material.
The Huron County Historical Society is currently working with community partners to find ways to ensure that valuable archival material from various personal and group collections and attics across the county can be kept and preserved properly - particularly those in private or volunteer hands with no resources to ensure preservation.
This is a survey to assist the committee in determining the expectations and requirements of individuals or groups who are interested in creating an archive or an archive network for Huron County. Your answers to the following questions will be of great help to the committee. Feel free to add other information which is not captured within these questions.
