The National Maritime Historical Society is doing an updated online edition to its Sea History Guide to Maritime Programs and Cultural Sites, originally published in 2004. There are a total of 60 or so sites that we need to confirm and/or update information on (background summary, location info, program info and an image). Most of what we need will be online, and we’ve estimated each location's page to take an hour or so to update. Our deadline for this phase of the project is 2/16/17, although work will continue through the end of April 2017. Work can be done on location at our headquarters in Peekskill, NY, or virtually online/email/phone. The work schedule is completely flexible.
Your help would be greatly appreciated! We would like to acknowledge your assistance with an official letter from our president, your named credited in the online published guide, and an NMHS cap or similar gift of your choice. We are always looking for volunteers, so if you’d like to participate in any other activities in the future, or know anyone who might, let us know!
