The document summarizes a Percent for Art project for the New Hampshire State Archives & Division of Vital Records expansion and renovation. Three artworks were commissioned based on proposals received. Judy Dibble of Contoocook created a large-scale painting of William Plumer and his famous quote about preserving history. Gail Smuda of Concord photographed and recreated archival materials in an abstract triptych, allowing the public to view materials previously inaccessible. Deborah Skinner-Perez and Jennifer Swett collaborated on a work celebrating life at all stages, depicting a newborn cradled in a parent's hands surrounded by quilt blocks of New Hampshire residents' faces.
