British Museum

British Museum, hekim ve doğabilimci Sir Hans Sloane’un (1660-1753) biriktirdiği ünlü bir kitap, el yazması ve doğa tarihi nesneleri koleksiyonunun hükûmet tarafından satın alınmasıyla 1753’te kuruldu. Oxford kontları Edward ve Robert Harley’nin daha önce miras bıraktıkları önemli el yazması kütüphanesi ve Sir Robert Bruce Cotton’ın (1571-1631) bağışlamış olduğu el yazmaları, sikkeler ve antikalar da Sloane koleksiyonuna katıldı. II. George’un, Krallık Kütüphanesi’ni 1757’de armağan etmesinden iki yıl sonra müze, Bloomsbury’deki Montagu House’da halka açıldı.

  • History

    The Archer Historical Society was chartered on August 18, 1977 with seventy-four Charter Members. Prior to 1850, a town called Deer Hammock was established where the town of Archer is today. In 1858 The Florida Town Improvement Company, owned by the Florida Railroad Company, laid out a town here and named it Archer after General James T. Archer Florida's first Secretary of State (1845-49). The first trains stopped in Archer in 1859. The first human occupants in the area were Paleo Indians, who made camps near Archer approximately ten thousand years ago. The only evidence left of these early people are spearheads, scrapers and other stone tools.

  • Mission

    The purpose of the organization is to preserve and protect those artifacts and structures peculiar to our heritage, to allow our progeny the privilege of enjoying those things upon which our nation, our state, and our community were founded. Also to provide the community of Archer with an organization for young and old alike, with a common goal, thereby promoting unity, friendship and understanding among the citizens of our town.
