MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES IN THE BETHLEN HOME

The Archive and Museum material, known as the Bethlen Collection will be located at the Bethlen Home, Ligonier, Pa. Building plans concerning a new structure were presented to both the Board of Directors of the Bethlen Home and to the Board of Directors of the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America. Both Boards accepted the plans and established the ARCHIVE and MUSEUM FUND.

The Bethlen Collection of the early emigration of Hungarians to the United States is the richest material in this country. In addition to church record books and church artifacts, several individuals have left old documents and pictures to the Bethlen Home — from these materials the early life of the Hungarians can be reconstructed.

We turn to individuals, organizations and churches for support in this endeavor, the preservation of our Hungarian heritage in America.

All donations should be indicated: ARCHIVE and MUSEUM FUND, BETHLEN HOME. In our next issue we will bring more information and more details. Your support for these projects will be greatly appreciated.

of America
