Home > Donation Information for the Tewksbury Historical
Society
The Tewksbury Historical Society is a non-profit organization with a mission
of preserving and documenting the history of Tewksbury.
We are always looking to add any Tewksbury related item to our archives and
gratefully accept donations of photographs, postcards, land deeds, town
papers, class or sports pictures and anything else that has a connection to
the Town of Tewksbury.
Do you have family heirlooms that you are unable to donate but would like to
have them preserved? If so then perhaps you would consider allowing
the Historical Society to digitally scan or take pictures of them.
This process will not harm the original and it will allow the Historical
Society to preserve an electronic image for future generations to study and
appreciate.
Here are examples of some interesting items that we have recently been
allowed to make digital copies of for the Historical Society:
