The Rutland Herald, which is the second largest newspaper in Vermont, was first published in 1794.
More recently, the owners and editor of the Rutland Herald donated a very large collection of photographs and newspaper clippings to our Society. These items are all alphabetically cataloged in small envelopes, and we are currently creating an index of the names. With nearly 5,000 names already indexed through the letter K, we have quite a bit more to go, and could use your help!
This project requires some typing skills, and ideally basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software. Attention to detail is appreciated.
Please contact us to find out more!

Mission Statement
The mission of the Rutland Historical Society is to collect, hold, preserve and interpret historical material relating to the original Town of Rutland, Vermont which today includes: Proctor, Rutland City, Rutland Town and West Rutland. Interpreting Rutland's history infers an educational sharing with Society members and the general public by whatever activities may accomplish this goal.
Description
The Rutland Historical Society was founded in August 1969, and focuses on the history of the original town of Rutland, VT. Our Society is completely run off of volunteer time. You can see more of what we have accomplished over the years at https://rutlandhistory.com/mission/ . We publish a Quarterly magazine 4 times a year for our members, and a local television series "Historically Speaking". The Society is dedicated to sharing as much material regarding Rutland's past as possible, and have created a website, Facebook page, and Facebook group to get information to the public for free. Our membership dues are low in order to allow for more people to afford joining, but membership is not a requirement to view our collections, visit our building, use our website, or ask for research assistance. Our volunteers meet several times a week, depending on personal availability, and we welcome a wide range of interests and skills.
