The Brickman Family Collection provides some interesting insights into the activities of the Brickman family and in particular Audra Brickman, who was a very active community member and volunteer. The collection is also notable for the dozens of beautiful photographs it included. Sadly, we estimate that over 60% of the photos are unidentified. Anyone with a good (visual) knowledge of the Brickmans and affiliated families is welcome to visit and help us put names to these forgotten faces.
Other items in the collection include:
- Records of various social and community organizations
- Wartime memorabilia (War bond canvassing materials, emergency war committee meeting minutes)
- Letters home from WWII airman Joe Foley, who was posted overseas
- Letters to Audra Brickman from many correspondants.
- Business papers – covering the Brickman’s agricultural, canning and other endeavors.
The collection also includes items related to a number of well-known County families: Adams, Bonter, Foley, and Sherry, just to name a few.
