Membership is open to all, regardless of where you live. You can choose to help carry out various activities, such as recording oral histories, managing the collection, writing for our newsletter, planning programs, mounting exhibits, becoming a docent and helping with house tours, or you can just enjoy being a supporter and attending programs that appeal to you.
We have built a large library of oral histories by Nyack residents, past and present. You can listen to them at www.nyacklibrary.org/oral-
