The James Family Documentary Project Fund, under the Community Foundation of Middlesex County, received a $17,500 grant from the Ct. Humanities Council to help continue the project toward the completion of an hour documentary on this special family. Our Board of Trustees committed to assisting with this initiative and, as part of this grant, the team will be reviewing “the trove of newsreels and VHS tapes owned by OSHS. The Beebe collection covers the period when Anna Louse James was operating the pharmacy and Ann Petry was living and writing in OS. The producers intend to digitize a selection to be used in film”, Liz Petry, project chair.  Spent 2 days reviewing the films in the Archives on September 6 & 9, 2019.
