All of us at HCHS were saddened to note the recent passing of one of our Trustees, Mary Ellen Soldavin. Shortly before she passed, Mary Ellen had donated a collection of her work to our archives for posterity. That material has been processed and is now released as Collection No. 236, the Mary Ellen Soldavin Papers. This collection includes information on historic preservation and other related topics gathered by Mary Ellen Soldavin, a trustee of the Hunterdon County Historical Society and a historical researcher for several towns and historic places in Hunterdon County. It holds material related to the Everitts family and a large collection pertaining to Mt. Pleasant. There is also a small collection of photographs that document structures within the county. This collection is geared toward those researching historic preservation in Hunterdon County and who wish for an insight on the perspective of people behind those efforts. The container list for the collection is listed here: hunterdonhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Collection-236-Container-List.pdfSpecial Thanks to Archival Intern Deirdre Lafferty who arranged and described the collection. ...
