The Society uses a powerful email tool (MailChimp) to update members on what is happening within the NYCSHS. These timely emails will let you know the latest information about the Society events.
SurveyMonkeyNotice
You will also be able to participate in our newly instituted survey of members. We have begun to periodically send out surveys using a nationally recognized survey service called Survey Monkey.
We have a NYCSHS Facebook page that is open to all, but members have the ability to provide factual answers to help attract other people to our Society. 
Do it right! Join today!
are materials and photos in the archives available? IF NOT, WHEN WILL THEY BE?
We have been working with a small group of volunteers to digitize all of the materials. It is a very long and slow process. We have been releasing archive material in DVDs as it is finished. We are working on several projects to continue to release material but it takes time. There is a huge amount of material and we are all volunteers working in our spare time. It will be a long time before it all can be made available. We can always use more volunteers to help us in the Cleveland area.
Thanks, NYCSHS
