BAILEY The Country Doctor Museum, the oldest in the U.S. dealing with rural health care, was recently awarded a collection of books and online resources that will help with preserving its artifacts, according to a media release from East Carolina University. The museum late last month received the Connecting to Collections Bookshelf from the Institute of Museum and Library Services in Washington, D.C., in cooperation with the American Association of State and Local History. The museum is one of 19 museums and libraries in the state and 3,000 nationwide to get the award. The bookshelf, which will offer guidance and expert advice, focuses on collections found in art and history museums and in library special collections. There is also an added selection of texts for zoos, aquaria, public gardens and nature centers. The resources are a component of a conservation initiative the institute launched in 2006. ECU operates the Country Doctor Museum. NASH COUNTY Local residents this week continued filing for political office in Nash County. On Wednesday, J.F.
