Donors and Benefactors have always been essential to art and cultural work.
The artifacts, ideas and forms of life of the past represent our collective inheritance. A guide for us all about how to do better. Those historical deposits which are most worthy endure forever.
Indeed, we have only got this far already with the A. F. Church Maps as a result of many donors and benefactors, but the load is heavy and we need your help. Most of us can only make small gifts, but a lot of small gifts make a big difference.
All of the funds received go to the county heritage groups doing the work, and will be used by them for their work on the GeoGen Project. The county heritage groups will provide charitable receipts for gifts of $20.00 or more.
We will send out an occasional newsletter to you to keep you abreast of the work being done.
Help us with what you can. Make a difference.
KITH is working with heritage groups in Antigonish, Hants and Halifax counties to preserve and digitize the A. F. Church maps and match the map information with existing genealogical records. The goal is to improve our understanding of the history and social relations in nineteenth century Nova Scotia, and make this data publicly accessible.
