Brand New Shine, Online In 2006, the Lancaster County Community Foundation awarded the Lancaster County Historical Society a grant to improve its technological interface. Thanks to this support, the historical society undertook the task of creating a new web portal for its on-line patrons. In order to accomplish our dreams of a new interface, our Technology Committee crafted a long “wish list” of technological offerings that they wanted to see implemented over the next couple of years. After many meetings, task force groups, and brainstorming sessions they created a hierarchy of needs and developed a phased approach to improving our technological interface, both The evolution of the historical society’s web site. Above, the home page as it appears now, and below (top to bottom), home pages from 1996, 1999, and 2003. on-site and on-line. At the top of our “wish list” was the creation of a new web site with a Discovery Tool that would effectively allow patrons more access to our collections. This new Discovery Tool allows users to search our Library, Objects, County Records, and Photographs simultaneously. We hope that this new tool proves useful as an entry point into our collections. Over the next few years we will continually improve this Discovery Tool and increase accessibility to our collections. At the core of our new web site is an open-source Content Management System (CMS). While this is something that exists entirely behind the scenes, it forms a critical part of our on-line presence. This new CMS permits us to keep the web site full of fresh content. More importantly, it allows us to provide even more on-line services in the future, keeping us alive in the ever-changing web world. The nature of open source software allows programmers from all around the world to continually develop new applications for the website. One of the features we hope to begin testing soon is a Members’ Section that, among other things, will include different ways for our on-line patrons to interact with one another and further their interests in the history of Lancaster County. We would like to express our thanks to the Lancaster County Community Foundation for giving us the ability to improve our on-line presence. We feel that every visitor to the site benefits from the Foundation’s generosity. —Barry Rauhauser, Stauffer Curator and Director of History on the Web

This Just In… Collecting Lancaster’s History We are an organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, and making accessible the materials of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It is an unending process comprised of several steps: the continuous acquisition of materials through purchase and donation, cataloging of materials, preservation and conservation, and, finally, implementing a variety of methods to make these materials available to the public. Our next exhibition will highlight some of the many wonderful recent additions to our collections and examine the ways in which this material will be made available to the public. This Just In…Collecting Lancaster’s History will open on May 13th, 2009. Thanks to donations of artifacts from the community, as well as purchases at auction, our collections continue to grow. These items are diverse in nature and donors recognize that they are a tangible connection to our past that provide a voice for our ancestors and a chance to view life at an earlier time. Two recently donated documents illustrate very different experiences of life in Pennsylvania in the 1760s. The first item, a rare document generously purchased for the historical society by Paul and Judy Ware, is a 1764 remonstrance, or list of grievances, by Matthew Smith and James Gibson to Governor John Penn on behalf of the Paxton Boys’ Remonstrance to Governor John Penn, 1764.
