Help GHF recover from Hurricane Ike
GHPA members have the opportunity to help Galveston Historical Foundation rebuild the library in its Preservation Resource Center and recover from the devastation of Hurricane Ike. The library was an important public resource for those interested in learning more about history and historic preservation in Galveston. When floodwaters entered GHF’s headquarters in the 1861 Custom House, they destroyed the library’s Galveston and Texas history collections as well as files on individual local properties, building surveys and historic maps.

Please consider purchasing a book from GHF’s Wish List on Amazon.com to help restore this important resource.
