The
more that we learn about people who lived in Cooktown, the
more we learn about Cooktown. The Cooktown
Historical Society is building an archive of our history
so that people now and in the future retain the history of our
area, here in Cooktown.
We
invite you to donate any information about families, events
or anything about Cooktown that you may know. In return if you would
like to know more about your ancestors or people of Cooktown
in general, there are volunteers ready to help; payment being a
donation to the
Cooktown Historical Society.
We
are also keen to build up our collection of photos on Cooktown and
the region. If
you have any photos of Cooktown, or its families, we would be
interested in
obtaining copies from you. You keep the
original. We have
the technology to copy while you wait, if you don’t wish to
part with your photos,
Alternatively, you could scan them at about 600dpi if
possible, and send the CD to us.
We
would be most appreciative.
We are a Deductible Gift Recipient
Society.
That is, if you wish to make a
monetary donation
to the society we can give you a receipt
so
you can claim it back on your
tax.
Please
contact Society for details for Direct Debit.
