About this book
Washington Chapel Chronicle 2, no. 7 (October 1909): 1-8
Author: Emma W. Crawford, W. Herbert Burk, Washington Chapel Guild
Year: 1909
The October 15, 1909, issue of the Washington Chapel Chronicle (Vol. II, No. 7), published by the Washington Chapel Guild at the Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, highlights efforts to expand the Valley Forge Museum through named collections, preserve historical artifacts, and support the Washington Memorial Chapel’s patriotic and religious mission. Below is a summary of the key content: 1. Named Collections in Valley Forge Museum Current Collections : Four named collections are listed: Rev. Jesse Y. Burk Collection (Indian relics). Mary Regina Brice Collection (historical documents). Lilla S. Pechin Collection (stamps, still being completed). William S. Green and William L. Fox Collection (Indian relics, not fully exhibited). Purpose and Appeal : The museum encourages donors to create or contribute to named collections to preserve relics and honor collectors or loved ones. These collections can represent various periods of American history (e.g., books, china, furniture) and can be started with a $25 initial donation or a $100 endowment fund for ongoing purchases. Such efforts ensure relics are preserved, used educationally, and retain the donor’s identity.
