Richard Nichols Named Curator

Lowell, Mass., September 28, 2017 -- The B&MRRHS board of directors at its meeting of September 9, appointed Richard Nichols as Curator of the Society's hardware collection. The appointment was made in recognition of Richard's effort to catalog and preserve our hardware collection and his efforts to bring the collection before the public. Over the past several years as a member of the Hardware Committee, Richard has spearheaded an effort to label, catalog, and photograph our collection of railroad equipment. He has taken charge of the Hardware section of the Society's web-site and has posted photos of most of our hardware items along with interpretive material. Through his work to clean and preserve hardware items the collection is now in excellent shape.
