Welcome
The Forest History Society is a nonprofit library and archive dedicated to collecting, preserving, and disseminating forest and conservation history for all to use. The Society links the past to the future while reminding us about our important forest heritage.
As part of our mission, FHS is continually seeking innovative ways of enhancing its programs in research, publication, and education, and new methods for promoting the study of environmental history. You'll find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, blogging here, or on YouTube. We invite you to discover your forest heritage by exploring our website and connecting with us on social media!
