ALCIR is an open collection with constant growth expected. ALCIR
is a special project of The Lewes Historical Society to ensure that information of historical
import and interest concerning local and area commercial, industrial and religious institutions will be available for future research. ALCIR is a documentation strategy aimed
at housing and/or recording collections relating to Lewes commercial, industrial and religious
endeavors since the Dutch West India Company established a whaling outpost at present-day Lewes
in 1624.
The Lewes Historical Society takes a proactive position in locating these resources,
inquiring about their status, advocating for their continued preservation - either at their current location or at
the Society - and ensuring a regularly updated catalog of Lewes documentary materials can be presented and used
by researchers and interested individuals.
