Summary:
Summary of the beginnings of the Indian and Colonial Research Center, detailing the group's incorporation and their hopes to purchase the Old Mystic Bank building for the relocation of Eva Butler's 37-year collection of books, files, maps, papers, and manuscripts on colonial history and Indian tribes. Mystic Seaport had offered the town a dollar to puchase the building, but local residents wanted to see it stay in its place and be put to some kind of educational use.
