Hunterdon County Historical Society Annual Meeting
"All About Our Now Preserved Rare Parchments". Teresa Gadomski of the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts in Philadelphia will speak about the conservation of he Society's rare Oaths of Allegiance parchments.
The two related documents, Oaths of Abjuration and Oaths of Fealty, date from 1744-1758 and show how the elected or appointed officials in the colony had to swear that they rejected the authority of the Catholic Church and swear their allegiance to King George II. They serve as a virtual "who's who" of the county that once stretched into Trenton and include the signature of Jon Hart, a Declaration of Independence signer.
After a brief introduction on the documents' history and the early period of New Jersey's history as a British colony, Ms. Gadomski will discuss the conservation assessment for such projects and the science behind the processes to conserve both ink and parchment. Guests will learn the behind the scenes work done by conservators to examine and determine the best methods to preserve historical documents. The conservation of the documents was funded by a generous grant from the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New Jersey who recognized the importance of these truly rare documents. Ms. Gadomski s a book and paper conservator at the Conservation Center for art & Historic Artifacts. She has an MS in Art Conservation from Winterthur/University of Delaware, a certificate of Advanced Study in Preservation from Simmons College Graduate School of Library & Information Science, a BA in Art Conservation/Art History from U. of Delaware, and has interned at the Library of Congress, Smithsonian Institution Archives, and Harvard's Weissman Preservation Center and was a Kress Fellow at Dartmouth College Library.
Her 50 minute talk will be followed by questions.

America's Past Time in Hunterdon; The Hunterdon Tri-County League
Baseball was America's greatest past-time, especially during war. In fact, our soldiers played baseball between battles during the Civil War. Baseball was a special distraction as Hitler rose to power in the 1930s. By 1937, baseball fan and attorney, Wesley Lance, future Judge, Senator and Acting Governor, founded a baseball league comprised of Hunterdon, Warren and Northampton, PA counties. This league existed for about 4 decades! Senator Lance's son, James W. Lance, Esq., a baseball aficionado and keeper of the family's baseball history, recounts the story.
