Why give to the History Center during Give Local York?
The opening of the new History Center Museum, Library and Archives gives York a true best-in-class visitor destination. The community generously supported us to help make the project happen. And we still need your help: to store and care for our large collection of artifacts and archive materials; to maintain the historic buildings that we make available to the public; to pay the talented, experienced staff that manages the collections and provides the programming that are at the core of our work.
