Thanks to the support of our County Legislator, Denise Ford, the Long Beach Historical & Preservation Society received a Nassau County Parks Department Grant for our support of cultural, educational, and historical programs. This grant in the amount of $15,650 will be used to repair and restore the windows of the Museum.

A generous five-year grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation is enabling the Palmer School of Library and Information Science at Long Island University to digitize local history materials in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The $1.5 million grant provides fellowships for master’s and doctoral students to assist with the project.

The Long Beach Historical & Preservation Society is pleased to announce that we are one of the historical societies on Long Island, NY to be participating in this project. The ”Digitizing Local History Sources” project can be accessed by visiting this link.
