Collections

Over the past fifty years HAHS amassed a considerable collection that reflects the history of this area. HAHS is committed to storing and safeguarding the collection in a manner that will preserve it for future generations to enjoy. Our collection includes photographs, paintings, archival documents, clothing, furniture, toys, tools, household appliances, business signs, and school memorabilia. While we don’t have everything online, you can get a taste of our collection holdings below.

You might be wondering: “What is happening to the collections when HAHS moves?” One of the primary reasons for moving into a larger building is to allow HAHS to better care for its collections. Consequently, all of our collections will be moved to the new location. We will not be selling, removing, or de-accessioning any of the artifacts. Once the new collections storage area is prepared, the artifacts will be carefully wrapped and protected with appropriate padding before being boxed up. Special fine arts movers will be hired to help us move delicate items.
