A fire on March 3, 2008, at the MSPCA-Angell headquarters in Boston burned many of the thousands of historical documents in the MSPCA’s Archive Room, some dating back to when the agency was founded in 1868. The damaged historical documents included film, news clippings, and journals. No animals were hurt in the fire. —From the 2009 EMC Information Calendar

22JunThe Poe Museum in Richmond, Virginia, houses one of the most important collections of Edgar Allan Poe artifacts, manuscripts, family ephemera, and memorabilia in the world. The museum began digitizing it in 2008 to create virtual exhibits for the museum’s website in time for Poe’s bicentennial celebration in 2009. An EMC Heritage Trust Project grant funds staffing, equipment, and post-digitization acid-free material storage. For more on the museum’s digitization work, see here onreprint_poe_no3081 or here
