Therefore, in order to expand President our capacity to serve audiences and fulfill our State Historic Preservation Officer mission, the Society will have to increase its donations and earned revenues. To do so it has become increasingly important to identify and to respond to our constituents’ needs and pref- erences. Our efforts have resulted in a doubling of paid visitors at the Colorado History Museum this year. Additionally, informing the public about the quality programs and services we offer must be one of our goals.

As she became involved in CIAPA, Clair came to realize how urgent it is to collect this history now. “The traces of the past are so quickly lost. Often, by the time we realize how valuable something is, it’s already gone.” The most important thing that can come out of CIAPA’s work, Villano believes, is edu- cating people that there is a place for these items. “The general public needs to know that the Society is interested in their stuff. Their belongings, which they think of as ordinary and mundane, may actually be their legacy to the future. It’s just that simple—and important.”
