Historical Society receives $10,000 toward new research center, pharmacal archives
NORWICH – Last week, the Chenango County Historical Society received a $10,000 donation from Norwich Pharmaceuticals to help put the finishing touches on its new research center, as well as preserving the remainder of the company’s historical archives, currently stored at the Eaton Center.
Located next door to the CCHS Museum at 43 Rexford Street, the research center will feature a digital catalogue of the historical society’s many documents, books, photographs and other historically significant records, all of which combined number in the thousands. The center will also house the Chenango County Historian’s Office and its staff, reported CCHS Director Alan Estus.
Norwich Pharmaceuticals President Terry Novak, Director of Human Resources Ric Festarini, Vice President of Operations Brian Reid, Chief Operating Officer Elin Gabriel and Human Resources Services Manager Luke Murphy were on hand to tour the museum’s new Pharmacal Exhibit and present the donation, a great way for Norwich Pharmaceuticals to celebrate its local legacy and kick-off its 125th anniversary, according to Novak.
“This is our history,” stated Novak. “It’s important for our employees and our customers to be aware of the long, successful history this company has. Many companies can’t say that.”
Novak said the Pharmacal Exhibit will play an important role as part of Norwich Pharmaceuticals’ employee orientation in the future. It’s an opportunity, he added, to instill pride in new employees from day one on the job.
According to Estus, construction of the research center – and changes at the museum itself – are coming along well. There’s a new enthusiasm, he added, as well as an increased focus on education, particularly as it concerns the youth of the community. With the many financial issues faced by school districts county-wide, Estus said he hopes local educators will utilize the museum and research center more often in the future.
The historical society is planning an public open house at the research center in late August, as part of the museum’s Civil War weekend. The center itself will most likely open in late September or early October, reported Estus, as it’s necessary to get the county historian’s office up-and-running. Over the coming months, the historical society will merge its collection of documents, photographs, books and more with that of the county historian.
“We’re doing this in an effort to benefit the researcher, no matter their age or background,” stated Estus. “When we’re finished, this research center will be a one-stop-shop for historians countywide.”
The Chenango County Historical Society Museum, 45 Rexford Street, is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information call 334-9227 or visit www.chenango.history.museum.
