Whitehall Borough Historical Society
The Whitehall Borough Historical Society was incorporated in June 2022 with the mission to preserve and promote the history and foster knowledge of our Borough. To accomplish this mission, the Society’s officers, trustees and members engage in research; preserve documents, photos and artifacts; and provide presentations and publications for the benefit of residents, businesses and the general public. These efforts are planned and executed in coordination with our Library and Recreation Department.
The Society actively seeks photos, documents, publications and memorabilia relevant to the history of our Borough and its residents and businesses. If you have such items and would like to donate or loan them for future displays and presentations, please contact the Society. All objects are stored and secured properly.
