Biddeford Cultural and Heritage Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization working in collaboration with others for the good of community.
Preserving the Past.... Look how far we've come!
In the beginning……how we started.
The Archives and Collections of BCHC are growing thanks to a wonderful team of volunteers and under the great leadership of committee chair and archivist, Anastasia Weigle, Ph.D.
Anastasia is a true gem and her leadership has been instrumental to the development of our archives and collections program as well as the building of a resource library with well over 1000 books in our database. We are truly fortunate to have her on board!
Things actually looked much worse when this journey started, but with perseverance and a little hard work, things are looking much better. We are moving forward and hope to be in a position to share our collections with others soon.
If you are interested in helping with archives and collections, please be sure to contact us via the email address, archives@biddefordcultural.org. We are currently looking for library help with organizing and cataloging the resource book collection.
And…. look at us today!
