1. Introduction by Chairman Carr.
2. Brewster Historical Society : Glass Plate Negatives
Foster — Past president of the Historical Society spoke about the glass plates. Early
preservation was done with non-archival material — not using acid-free envelopes. The
Society now has a new curator — Theresa Lamperti, who will work with the glass plate
negatives using the correct preservation methods..
Hush - Questioned the derivation of the photographs.
Foster —These are mostly turn of the century photos — botanical studies, photos of
people, etc. — possibly the work of Caroline Dugan.
Currently there are a number of historical documents (copies thererof) on display in the
hall outside of the Town Clerk's office at Town Hall.
