HomeMy WebLinkAboutThank you letter donation jackDear Jack,
I once again thank you for the wonderful donation of Enfield School files and James McConkey books, on February 8, 2023. I have listed the book titles below. I have also listed the donation
contents (in condensed form) of each School District Number 1-14, 17, Kennedy’s, file and the School Reunion files 1993 – 2010 with a few notes. I can provide a more detailed list of
the contents of the school files at any time.
The James McConkey books have been placed in the Historians Office/Library at the Enfield Community building, 162 Enfield Main Road.
The original school files have all been placed in the Enfield Town Historian office files, 182 Enfield Main Road, Court House. I have scanned the files using formats of pdf and jpeg.
These files have been placed on the Enfield, Tompkins County Laserfiche site. This will preserve the files “forever” they say and can and are shared by anyone who cares to take a look.
Here is how to access the files: www.townofenfield.org – Resources – Legislative Information – Archived Documents Town of Enfield – Archived Documents – Public Documents – Historian,

Thank you and enjoy your day Jack.
Sincerely,
Sue Thompson
