Support GOHS

Get Involved

Volunteers play an integral role at the Greater Oneonta Historical Society. Students and GOHS members are encouraged to give of their time and talent to advance GOHS’ mission. A volunteer application is used for prospective volunteers to indicate their areas of interest (special events, staffing, collections, etc.).

There are several ways to get started:

Alternatively, you can write GOHS at PO Box 814, Oneonta, NY 13820

Donate

You can help support GOHS in its mission as a non-profit educational institution. Your voluntary contributions to GOHS are tax deductible. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.

Gifts to the GOHS Annual Appeal form the foundation of every exhibition, program, and outreach effort presented throughout the year. Unrestricted gifts enable us to address areas of greatest need and to take advantage of unexpected opportunities. Your generous donation will help us preserve the past for Oneonta’s future. To donate to the Annual Appeal online, use the PayPal button below and enter “Annual Appeal” into the Donor Comments comments section.

To make a donation to GOHS by mail, simply send a check to P.O. Box 814, Oneonta, NY 13820. Please make your check payable to “Greater Oneonta Historical Society”, and be sure to write “donation” in the memo field. We will acknowledge your donation by return letter, so please be sure to include your mailing address if it is not on your check.
