ACHS&M Collection Categories

The ACHS&M Collection Categories below represent what is present in the ACHS&M's Collection to date. We have over 40,000 objects in our collection--much more than the 5,000 to 7,000 objects a historical society and museum our size usually has. Our collection allows us to launch very diverse, hands-on and interactive exhibits. There are items in each category that are in need of preservation. These items, once preserved, will be there for future generations to enjoy.

Adopt an ACHS&M Artifact!

When you adopt an ACHS&M artifact

you buy the preservation materials necessary for that item, usually an acid-free box. Your or a loved one's name is entered into the permanent record as the person responsible for preserving the item. You receive a photo of the item and an ACHS&M Certificate of Adoption.
