How you can help preserve our
heritage:
|
|
Monetary donations are greatly appreciated as they help off-set the cost of
our Resource Center
and the invaluable work of preserving the history of the Port
Washington area. These donations are tax deductible.
Our collection keeps growing thanks to generous individuals who donate
copies of family histories, genealogies, family group sheets, photographs,
obituaries, news clippings, etc. We also appreciate copying items from your
collection. Items to be copied will be handled carefully and returned to
you promptly.
We are always in need of Volunteers to serve as
Research Volunteers, to assist with research, filing and office tasks. Please
contact us if you are interested or for more information. Training will be
provided.
