The Newsletter of the Pan Am Historical Foundation
This past summer the Pan Am Historical Foundation took a major step in its ongoing attempt to preserve the remaining Pan Am artifacts and memorabilia. Over the years numerous articles and documents have been received from individuals and were being stored by the Foundation in Greenwich, CT. Additionally, Kathleen Clair was considering donating her personal collection of over a thousand documents and photographs.
Recognizing the need to assess, preserve, index and catalogue these items and set up a system for future donations; the foundation hired Anne Young, on a part time basis this past summer. Ms Young recently received a Masters Degree in IS specializing in Archives/Records Administration. She has completed her work in arranging, describing and cataloging what PAHF has in storage, now 65 cubic feet of records, including the Kathleen Clair collection. She has also produced a finding aid of 75 pages.
Anne’s project will serve as the basis for and give direction to the Archives Committee continuing work in preserving the history and legacy of Pan Am, and we profoundly thank her for her efforts.
