11.15.2002 - Image 4 Helps Preserve Credit Union History at Manchester, NH Museum

Graphics display manufacturer supplies wallcovering, text panels and photographic murals to America 's Credit Union Museum. Turning a house into a home requires loving care. Turning a home into a museum requires capability and can be found in the quick orchestration and quality output of Image 4, one of the nation's premier display companies, located in Manchester, NH.

In a very short lead time, the staff at Image 4 supplied more than 200 square feet of custom-printed wallcovering, 4 x 8 foot photo mural panels, and 100 other graphic components for America 's Credit Union Museum in Manchester , NH. Historic images scanned and re-printed by Image 4, and rooms replicated with 100-year old furnishings comprise the first two floors of the museum, which was also the home of the Credit Unions' first president, Joseph Boivin. The museum tells the story of the start and growth of the credit union movement in America.

Bailey-Donovan, a museum design firm in Manchester , NH worked with museum director Peggy Powell to capture the historical perspective of that first credit union, while preserving the residence of Armand and Joanne Lemire, who, in 1994, donated the former Boivin home to the New England Credit Union Heritage Foundation.

When Paula Donovan, operations manager of Bailey-Donovan, wanted to set the scene within the display, she asked Image 4 to scan, repair and reproduce a 12" watercolor and enlarge it to a 10-foot wallcovering mural. "Image 4 has the ability to get the job done the way we want it, " says Donovan. "They produce beautiful museum quality within budget and under challenging time constraints."

Using a LightJet Digital Imager, Image 4 printed dozens of graphics to tell the story of how immigrants flocked to the Manchester mills and were initially unable to receive credit. In 1908, Joseph Boivin, Msr. Pierre Hevey and his parishioners formed "St. Mary's Cooperative Credit Association," the first credit union in this country. In 1925, the name was changed to "Bank of the People," St. Nary's.

Image 4, founded in 1987, provides graphic displays for branding, exhibition, trade show, and selling environments. With the broadest range of digital graphic imaging available, Image 4 manages, prints and installs "Anything you can dream up," says company president Jeff Baker. "From P-O-P, to vehicles, to entire brand and communication programs, Image 4 helps our clients Experience Space'".
