Historical
Society Looks
For Volunteers
Volunteers are needed to assist
with a survey of historical sites in
western Erie County. The Erie
County Historical Society, under
the direction of Mr. John
Claridge, has received a grant
from the Pennsylvania Office of
Historic Preservation to conduct
a survey of sites of potential
historical interest in the town
ships of Franklin, Springfield,
Conneaut, Elk Creek, Girard, and
Fairview. The object of the
survey is to identify buildings
which can be nominated for

Register and to provide data for
A Lecture
To Be
Presented
Tonight at 7:30 p.m_ Joe
Kadajski will give a lecture
entitled "The History of Erie as
Reflected in its Architecture."
The talk, to be given in Turnbull
204, will include a slide show.
Kadajski, who is majoring in
American Studies at Behrend,
says that the idea for the topic
began to form at_the beginning of
the Fall term, when his advisor,

municiple planning.
Sites have been identified, and
volunteers are needed to visit
them and bring back descrip
tions. The Historical Society
hopes to locate a number of in
dividuals willing to give a few
hours a week this summer to field
work on this project. Volunteers
will be given an orientation
meeting at the Society to train
them in the objectives of the
survey and they will be provided
with checklists and forms to
guide their reports. Volunteers
will need to be able to provide
their own transportation, and
arrangements can be made to
reimburse them for travel ex
penses. Questions concerning the
project may be addressed to Mr.
Claridge at the Erie County
Historical Society (417 State St.)
or Dr. A.D. Frankforter ( (106
Turnbull Hall).
teresting alternatives, Joe
decided to do a project that would
allow him to work with primary
sources in the local area. Having
an interest in architecture, he
found several fine examples of
historically important buildings
in Erie.
He thought that it would be
fascinating to uncover their
significance in the community's
development. The primary
emphasis of the presentation
tonight will be on the historical
development, using a slide lec
ture approach, which should be of
general interest to anyone.
The - lecture is open to the
.public, and there is no charge.
