[MassHistPres] historic homes plaques

[Chris Skelly]

Suzanne, 

The information I have collected on historic plaque programs is not
currently available on line.  However, I will soon have it available as
a pdf - perhaps as early as next week.

Lenox also is looking into such a program.
We would like to know if other Commissions allow polyurethane for the  
sake of longevity or must plaques be wood?

Chris Skelly--do you still have a booklet with information and  
pictures? Is it available on line?
