Greater Cape May Historical Society
“We are so grateful for the opportunity and the experience to work with a cohort of non-profits with different missions. We learned from them and the importance of learning how to get your organization’s mission into the minds and hearts of their respective communities.”
The Greater Cape May Historical Society’s mission is to collect, preserve, document, interpret and share the history of the greater Cape May area. The Society’s community history project focused on the work of the Cape May Geographic Society, which published annual bulletins from 1947 through 1991 pertaining to the natural history of the Cape May region and advocated for the preservation of the region’s natural beauty and the study of its history. By digitizing historical materials created by the Geographic Society and sharing them with local community members, the Historical Society provides historical context for the significant interest today in the ecology of greater Cape May, a destination for ecotourism, birding, and nature photography.
