IN <br />Kathy Mahoney reviewed some of the recommendations in the report submitted by Rachel Onuf, MBLC <br />and State Historic Records Archives. Kathy will apply for a Level 3 grant to have Rachel come back to <br />Mashpee to help the Town, and the Archives will be included, in digitizing records. Rachel will also <br />assist us in how to properly handle and store what records we do have. Kathy also mentioned Elaine <br />MacElroy, a retired Wellfleet librarian who is presently attending a Simmons College Master of Library <br />of Science and information degree program, who would be interested in volunteering with a local archive. <br />Kathy also mentioned that we need to address what database software we may want to use. She is able to <br />purchase software much more economically through the library, and we may be able to have her purchase <br />some for our needs as well. <br />Many items described in RachePs 14 page summary report dated Aug 27, 2015 were discussed and <br />accepted with great enthusiasm however, much homework must be done to implement her suggestions. <br />Deb Dami suggested that we may want to bring back into the Archives the cabinet of Weights and <br />Measures, together with her lion's head seal of Mashpee. We feel it is better to have it on display in the <br />upper hallway of the Town Hall. It is passed by everyone who goes to meetings and makes requests from <br />the Town Manager and the Board of Selectmen. She also offered to assist us with our present Access <br />database if we choose to keep it. Kathy suggested that we look at Tech Soup, which is very inexpensive, <br />and Rachel recommended that we try Past Perfect online. <br />Kathy spoke with Rosemary about having.a book signing at the Town Library. Rosemary would be <br />interested in a book signing, but not making a presentation. Plans will be worked out so that her book <br />could get more exposure. She plans to sell copies at the up -coming Town Meeting in October and <br />perhaps at one of the School's Open Houses coming right up too. Checks for the book should be made <br />payable to the Town of Mashpee. <br />Because of the delayed start of the meeting 2 commissioners had to leave for additional appointments; the <br />quorum was lost at 10:20 am and the meeting adjourned. <br />6: <br />(JI(f,i ✓.i..A, <br />
