We are caretakers of local history, art, and culture
We are a 100% volunteer-run, non-profit organization -- our board, officers, archivists, and webmaster donate their time, energy, and skills to the RMWHS. They and our loyal members provide and participate in programs and activities, including: community event participation; family and property research assistance; local preservation projects; and more.
​
We welcome all individuals who love our neighborhoods and are looking to take an active role in collecting, preserving, documenting and promoting our area's rich history, art and culture. Our RMWHS Archive is located within the Roxborough branch of the Philadelphia Free Library. The Archive contains a great many items, including: photos, slides, negatives; maps, books, newspapers; art, local brewery bottles, vinyl recordings; school year books and class photos; genealogies, scrapbooks, deeds; church and cemetery records; pamphlets, flyers, posters; manuscripts and more.
