Special Collections and University Archives Honored with Award and Proclamation

Special Collections & University Archives was presented the Kate Wheeler Strong Memorial Award by the Three Village Historical Society “in recognition of significant contributions toward the fostering of interest in local history and a fuller appreciation of the rich historical and cultural heritage of this community” on May 17, 2023. Each year the Three Village Historical Society Board of Trustees and Award Committee awards local businesses, residents, homeowners, society members and youth who have made significant contributions in helping to preserve the heritage of the Three Village area.

Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn presented a proclamation from the Suffolk County Legislature, stating in part: “Special Collections & University Archives has been a source for inspiration and guidance and for historical information highlighted during numerous Three Village Historical Society events” and its work “ensures this community has a direct link to its past, captures its present and enriches the future.”

A Certificate of Congratulations was received from the Brookhaven Town Board and presented by Councilman Jonathan Kornreich, District 1.
