Susan and Jane extend their thanks to everyone who purchased their book.  All 380 books they purchased to benefit the WNHS have been sold!!  They thank you and the Society thanks you.  We would encourage you, should you need additional copies, to purchase them from The Book Rack or Jabberwocky, our local booksellers in Newburyport.  You help them and the royaties continue to help the WNHS.



We encourage everyone who may have old records, photos, or anything related to West Newbury's history to let us know before they dispose of them.  Even seemingly unimportant bits and scraps could shed light on different parts of our history.  Even if you do not wish to donate them, perhaps you would allow us to photograph, photocopy or scan them.  Please contact Sue (978-465-5709, sufo@guicide.com) or Jane (978-462-3382) if you have any pictures or items to donate or scan.
