Please note: Our historian, John Seville, notes that the York County
Heritage Trust has a sizable collection of York Hiking Club memorabilia in its
library. However, the material dates from the Club's Founding in 1932 to the
early 1980s. For the past 30 years little material has been added to our
collection. We want to correct this omission; so John is asking members who have
Club related items that might be suitable for inclusion in our archives to call
him at 717-244-6769. Examples would be minutes of meetings, accounts of special
events, photographs, newspaper articles, etc. No more copies of the annual log
books.
