Save the Maps : Batavia’s Historic Map Quest

 

The maps, owned by the Batavia Public Library, are the only known set of an east and west side wall map circa 1907 of Batavia, Illinois and are in need of extensive restoration. These maps, 10 feet by 6 feet each, represent the contrast of life more than 100 years ago and today’s highly technological way of life. The historical and educational value is a significant reason to restore the maps for use by all persons: historians, students, citizens from Batavia and any Library patrons.

We invite you to partner with us to restore these historical gems. Donate online here by selecting “Save the Maps” from the box on the upper right of this page.

With immense gratitude,
Batavia Public Library Foundation

The Batavia Public Library Foundation Fund was created to provide financial assistance to the Batavia Public Library Foundation.  The mission of the organization is to support current and future facilities, programs and services of the Batavia Public Library.  The principal and income of the fund are available to assist this charitable organization.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

President Emeritus

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.
