See if a member or someone in your community might make such a display
case. We had one made for the cost of the lumber, special glass. It
has a glass top and sides with sliding glass doors. We do not have locks
on the sliding glass but they are easily installed and inexpensive.
Lights can be installed inside or flourescent tube lights mounted on a
wall above the cabinet so objects can be viewed.

Subject: RE: Funding, Grants & a Display case
The Archaic Copper Museum is funded both city and state - the DNR owns
the site, but they do not contribute to the operation of the museum, so
the city and the Oconto County Historical Society do. I'm looking for
other sources, grants, etc., and we do have a membership.
I put out a newsletter and one member, for instance, has offered to
pay for the museum display case we need. Does anyone know where to get
a good quality used lockable display case - I've been looking to no
available, and am open to about anything under $500 right now. We are
starting to take in a collection of copper spear points I want to put on
display.

Kathy, next time put Historical Society in the subject. I almost
deleted you because I
was not familiar with your name. Kathleen -Greendale Historical

Some societies get subsidized by the community they live in. If you
can work it out
that is ideal. We do not get subsidized. We have membership dues and
sell notecards
and mugs and other items. We are putting together a calendar to sell
for 2010 but we
have events here where we can sell them; a farmer's market, Village
Days, Hay Days,
Dickens Christmas. We have a tour of homes in September which brings
in a few
hundred $. We are writing grants for a special project to readapt our
original police
and fire station buildings. Our operating expenses are minimal. We
have a room that
we work out of in the basement of the library with no rent. We use
their phone line.
So other than paper, printing, mailings etc., we have no expenses. I
would try to convince
the local government that it would be worthwhile to allot a few
hundred per month to your
efforts. Good luck. Kathleen

We're interested in knowing how other historical societies are funded,
whether private, county or city or mixture of them. Can you help us
out?
Thanks.
