GAC Archives
Greensburg Art Center has had a fascinating history through the years. Its roots began in 1929 and it has gradually grown into the modern art center we know today. Saving and documenting the records of events from those years has been a task undertaken by members over the decades. Scrapbooks filled with such memorabilia are stored below the bookshelves in the closed bottom left storage areas*.
When opportunities are presented to replace clippings and articles from the kitchen area bulletin boards, those clippings should be placed on top of the assembled collection in the storage area for future compilation into a scrapbook. Rather than throwing any information away, just place articles in the storage area and the historical archive team will determine what to keep and what not to save for our center’s historical records.
*Stored items are kept directly below the library book sign out clipboard.
