Contributing Artifacts | 7/11/2008
Many artifacts of life in Greenville are still lurking in local attics and garages. If these are items no longer meaningful to the family and are to be discarded please consider offering them to the Society. Just contact any member of the GAHS Board. A special Collections Committee will make a decision about accepting the items if there is a question; for example - we may already may have three of a particular item and another is not needed.
