To all my Holland Society fellow
members
The priceless collection of Bergen Dutch artifacts owned by the Bergen County Historical Society was left to the ravages of flood waters.....
This is the first time in Bergen
County Historical Society history (105 years) any item was lost due to
flooding.
Major damage was sustained to much
of the collection (including our 17th century Dutch Kas, and most of
our documents in our safe).
Please see our web page for photos
of the devastation (bergencountyhistory.org).
Here is a link to an article in the
Bergen Record on the damage http://www.northjersey.com/page.php?qstr=eXJpcnk3ZjczN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXk0OSZmZ2JlbDdmN3ZxZWVFRXl5NzEyMTUxMCZ5cmlyeTdmNzE3Zjd2cWVlRUV5eTM=.
