Progress

*Progress is not something to simply maintain it is something to continue*

We as past and current residents of Minersville have and are enjoying the progress that has and will continue to make Minersville great, but it is up to us to record that progress and not let it slip away through the passing of time. From the Minersville Hstorical Society to you, Minersville Citizens, we need your help.

We are asking each family to submit a family history and each business owner to submit a history of their business. We want everyone to be a part of this but we need you to submit your histories to us so that we can compile them. Beyond family and business histories we would like you to submit any memories of events or happenings

in Minersville. We have recieved a lot of support but not a lot of histories, so please submit yours today.

A New History Book in Progress

Hello Fellow Minersville Punkin' Rollers

The Minersville Historical Society would like to ask for your help in putting together a History Book of Minersville that will include the years 1959-2009. We are excited that in 2009 we will celebrate 150 years of Minersville. In honor of this celebration we would like to print a new History book. We realize that this is a huge project but one that needs to be completed. Minersville has a great history and we would like to capture that on paper. As you are reading this you are probably wondering how can I help. Well we have a few suggestions and would appreciate any others you many have.

* First- please send in your memories of Minersville. Anything will be helpful so please send all you can. With your memories please send us your lineage to Minersville.

* Second- a brief personal family history is also something we are looking for, these will have limited space so that we can fit all that are sent in.

*Third- any pictures that will help us recap the history of Minersville.

If you have hard copies of pictures and live close to Minersville, a member of the society could come and take digital photos of your photos. If you do not live close try and find someone with a digital camera and have them take a picture of your pictures and then email them in.

We would like to keep things as digital as possible so if at all possible please send all submissions by email to minersvillehistory@yahoo.com.

We also have a PO Box for the Society
