Purpose of the History Affiliate Program
Funded by the Barra Foundation, the purpose of the History Affiliates is to serve and support the small and mid-sized history and heritage organizations in the five county area of Southeastern Pennsylvania. These organizations present and preserve our history through public and educational programs, exhibitions and publications, and various collections preservation efforts.
