SCAN YOUR OLD AT DOCUMENTS AT THE BIENNIAL:

Here is a note from the ATC Team to all Biennial Attendees,
FYI ~
" Dear Conference Attendee,
The ATC Maine Conference is fast approaching.
As a reminder, remember to bring your old, interesting and
unusual Trail related photos, letters, and other paper items
to the Conference. In the Exhibit Hall, the Maine State Library
will have scanners ! The goal is to make our equipment available
to anyone who might have something special from their personal
collections of images/scrapbooks/ephemera that they would like
to digitize and share for historical purposes.
We look forward to seeing you !
Sincerely,
The Appalachian Trail Conservancy Team "
