🌟 Preserving History at Mapperton House: Help Bring the American Heiress Exhibition to Life! 🌟 Hello, dear supporters! I'm Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke, and as many of you know, I've stumbled upon an extraordinary treasure at Mapperton House in West Dorset – the largest American heiress collection of letters, diaries, and journals in the world! Now, with the help of over 25 virtual volunteers worldwide, we're on a mission to digitize and transcribe these precious documents.

However, there's a crucial need: Mapperton House lacks an archivist, and these invaluable pieces of history need proper conservation. I've taken it upon myself to learn the delicate art of repairing precious books, letters, and journals, each with its own unique story and many with small tears. In a nut shell, say hello to Mapperton's new archivist, me! But here's where you come in!

I'm reaching out to you on https://www.buymeacoffee.com/juliejmo... to raise £4,000 ($5,000) for essential archival equipment and exhibition supplies. This includes Conservation quality plan chest drawer cabinets, a Commercial quality dehumidifier, dress displays, hat mounts, display pillows, portable boxes, book cloths, wheat paste, and various conservation tools.

What's in it for you? For those of you who generously donate three or more cups of coffee, you'll have exclusive access to the American Heiress exhibition this summer (1st May 2024 - 28th September 2024) free of charge. Check out the opening times at Mapperton.com.

🌟 Can't Join Us in Person? No Worries – We've Got You Covered! 🌟 If you can't make it to the exhibition in person, don't worry – I've got something special just for you! You'll receive a personalized tour of the exhibition led by yours truly. Your exclusive private link to this virtual tour will be sent directly to you by the end of April, right before the exhibition opens its doors! But that's not all!

For the amazing souls who contribute 15 cups of coffee, you'll receive:
✨ A personalized tour of the exhibition – either in person or virtually (your choice).
✨ A beautiful pack of Alberta postcards (5 in total).
✨ A wonderful pack of Alberta's 7 drink recipes found in her 120-year-old cookbook – all designed by my talented sister-in-law Polly. These goodies will be sent to you via Royal Mail once the final mockups are perfected. Trust me; they're going to be even more beautiful than the attached images – we're still tweaking!

Your support means the world to me and Alberta and plays a vital role in preserving this unique slice of history. Join us on this incredible journey, and let's make the American Heiress exhibition a reality! Thank you for being a part of this historical endeavor. With gratitude, Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke
