Preservation Supplies

Historic Marker Paint

The Office of the County Historian can provide one-quart cans of Rustoluem Royal Blue and Rustoleum Sunburst Yellow to any volunteer or historical society with the resources to repaint local roadside historic markers. We ask that you please adhere to recommendations of the William G. Pomeroy Foundation or the New York State Museum and send us an image and explanation upon completion of the restoration for inclusion in our County History E-Newsletter. Contact us with a description of the project and request for paint.

D/2 for Proper Gravestone Cleaning

For any volunteer who has familiarity with the proper techniques for gravestone cleaning, we offer D/2 Biological Solution as a donation towards enabling clean ups of local cemeteries. We ask that you please adhere to recommendations of the Association for Gravestone Studies and send us an image and explanation upon completion of the cleaning for inclusion in our County History E-Newsletter. Contact us with a description of the project, cemetery location and request for D/2 Biological Solution.

Please note that we are only able to fulfill requests for projects that will benefit Orange County, NY and that we will need advance notice in order to manage the procurement of supplies.
