Pennsylvania State Archives/Preservation



The Winter 2000 issue of _Pennsylvania Heritage_ has an interesting
article (p. 18-25) by Linda A. Ries and Jane Smith Stewart about the
history of preservation of the charter by which Charles II granted
land in North America to William Penn in 1681.

For those who feel that archival material isn't appreciated, listen
to this: "On October 23, 1997, the Charter was carefully removed from
the vault in the State Archives and each page securely placed in
transport boxes. A unit of the Pennsylvania State Police, the Bureau
of Emergency and Special Operations, usually reserved for the governor
and visiting dignitaries, escorted the precious document to the CCAHA
in Philadelphia."  My home state really knows how to treat an archival
document right!
