New Archive Project


New Archive Campaign 2012

To date we have been storing and processing items for preservation in a temporary module at the back of the campus next to the apartment and in the Bockius-Orr house.

We have immediate need for room and climate controlled environments to continue to collect and preserve our special treasures of the Pajaro Valley. Over sixty years ago, a community of concerned citizens banded together to give us what we enjoy and deeply treasure today - our history, preserved in the form of collectibles, clothing, journals, and images. It's now our opportunity to preserve for future generations their treasured history.

We are so pleased to announce that ground was broken for our new "Bornia Archive and Alzora Snyder/Jane Borg Research Center" on November 15, 2012.  We look forward to welcoming everyone to our new facility in the fall of 2013!

        The building site of our new Archive which is adjacent to our current PVHA location at
332 East Beach Street, Watsonville, CA 95076
 
   The burden is heavy, and the times are not the best, but it is a testament to our resolve that a concerned group of leaders have shouldered the burden to raise funds for the new project. Some members of our Building Committee are: 

 Judy Doering-Nielsen  Judy Campbell  Ken Dobler  Cathy Moresco-Schimpeler  Tony Scurich

Jane Borg
