Accessioning

We are taking pictures and recording information about all the items in the museum which will be added to our Past Perfect Museum software and database... this is a time consuming and tedious task but will be very rewarding as time continues.

Photograph and News Article Logging

Dorothy Cormany and Charles Morrison continue delving into boxes and boxes of old photos and news articles that have been given to the museum.  As the photos and articles are identified and categorized by Dorothy and Charles they are finding a home in our library in the form of notebooks.  It is a real treat to sit and go through the books to see the past.  For students or anyone researching the Ashville area history this can be quite a spot to spend some time in.

Membership Drive

Each new member that joins and continues to renew their memberships can feel good about what their membership funds do.  Membership funds help the museum to continue from year to year with the upkeep and maintenance of the items it houses and makes available for people to see.  Please consider doing a "feel good" thing and join Ashville Area Heritage Society in preserving your heritage as a member.  

Although we are looking for volunteers, membership does not mean there is an obligation to physically volunteer and be active in the museum affairs.  All help whether monetarily or volunteering is very much appreciated.

Ashville Alumni Pictures

We are renewing our efforts to take pictures of each of the Ashville High School graduating classes and will be making these pictures available online and upon request. More Information  ~   See Example
