Canandaigua Botanical Society Record Archiving
Before Melissa Virag's passing in December, she had been working to archive our Canandaigua Botanical Society records dating back to 1874. In her
honor, we will work with Ontario County Historical Society to do right by the Botanical Society records. They are currently in the skilled hands of Wilma Townsend at the OCHS.
