Community Pride
An island historical society is more than an important source of information; it's also the foundation of community pride. Often run by volunteers and operating primarily during the summer tourist season, island-based historical societies have unique needs, and deal with sensitive materials that require expert care and knowledge. The Island Institute is committed to helping islanders involved in their historical societies gain the expertise and materials necessary to preserve a record of these fascinating communities.
