Salem Archives Blog: Salem Police Badge

http://salemarchives.blogspot.com/2012/02/salem-police-badge.html

Wednesday, February 29, 2012. A few weeks ago an old Salem Police badge was added to the collection. This afternoon in the mail I got a reply from Chief Tucker about the badge. The only information ha had about the badge is that they were used up to 20-22 years ago, when they switched to the current issue badge. He also said some of the older officers were using them 30 years ago, when he joined the force. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Masonic Lodge 100th Anniversary Plate. View my complete profile.

Salem Archives Blog: Our view on Ballot Question 4 (CPA)

http://salemarchives.blogspot.com/2012/11/our-view-on-ballot-question-4-cpa.html

Sunday, November 4, 2012. Our view on Ballot Question 4 (CPA). While we here at the Salem Archives like to stay politically neutral, we feel however that ballot questions are largely an apolitical issue. After reading both sides of the issue in the local media as well as opinions of fellow Salem residents in the local newspapers, we've determined that we cannot support the question. We ask that you vote no when you go to the polls on Tuesday, November 6. The Salem Archives Team. View my complete profile.

Salem Archives Blog: June 2012

Saturday, June 16, 2012. World War II Civil Defense Helmet. This civil defense helmet that recently came into the collection is an interesting piece. It belonged to Edward Judkins who lived at 3 Buffum St. during WWII. As it turns out from 1944 onwards he became the sealer of weights and measures for the city if Salem. Which probably explains why he would be part of the civil defense for Salem, working for the city and all. Thursday, June 7, 2012. Always Looking For New Salem Items.

Monday, August 15, 2011. 23rd Regiment Mass Vol Inf. Commemorative. The ribbon was most likely given to surviving members of the regiment as well an persons selected for the committee that oversaw the construction. This example has a few rips and tears but is no doubt an important piece of American history as is helps to memorialize those brave men from the North Shore who risked their lives to defend our nation in the Civil War.
