Oct. 4 - 3 pm ET - Online Webinar - Registration Required Dana Heller, history teacher at Hopewell Valley Central High School, will describe the Time Capsule project to preserve our local stories and history of this pandemic. HVHS Archives Closed The HVHS archives, located in the Hopewell Township branch of the Mercer County Library, is still closed to the public and to HVHS volunteers and members. As a result, we cannot perform research in the archives in response to queries. The Mercer County Library system began contactless pick-up on June 23, and is planning limited reopening on October 5. See the MCL website for more information, and watch this space for updates on the HVHS archives. |
