SEEKING HISTORY KEEPERS

CHS has ongoing projects, interviews, and transcriptions to record the islands' history and islanders' stories for the future.  We are looking to entice writers, photographers, compilers, and filers, to help with the popular monographs, and occasional books -- to work any time of the year!  It is a challenge to work through all the stages of any given project during the short summer.

Please direct queries to Publications Chair Louise Garfield.  Suggestions are always welcome.
