The Decatur Minute

This is my first post as the City of Decatur Archivist. There’s a good bit going on behind the scenes here and I’ll be blogging more in the future as collections are appraised and processed. Decatur has nearly 200 years of history! The records date back to the 1870’s and there’s a lot of work to accomplish to preserve these wonderful records and make them accessible. At this juncture we are in the very early stages of performing appraisal on the City’s collections. Please make sure you come out on March 18th between 5:30 and 7:30 to the Recreation Center for our Touch a Budget event and catch a glimpse of some of the historical records which we have highlighted in this small publication.
