Staff and volunteers will be on hand to evaluate and process the donations and prepare them for possible accession into the Collections at SVHS. Post-WWII materials encouraged! Help us bring our collection up to the 21st century – your stories are Sewickley Valley History! Help us to preserve them by bringing items to donate on April 20, 2024.
