The American Local History Network is a non-profit, incorporated association
of historical and genealogical researchers and volunteers. The purpose
of this network is to link together various local history web sites that
would like to participate in free association. The purpose of the American
Local History Network (ALHN) is to furnish students, educators, and genealogical
researchers with historical and genealogical information. To accomplish
this mission, we believe that volunteer efforts are indispensable, and
solicit volunteers to develop information which will be made available
electronically to a wide audience. ALHN also will gratefully accept donations
of information in electronic format to be made available on the same terms
as for any active participant. The donor of the information shall retain
copyright to the donated information, and may rescind permission to use
it at any time, for any reason, although we as an organization would hope
that would not happen.
Simple. E-mail the state coordinator,
Rhonda Smith with any submissions you may have or e-mail the
county coordinator (see county index). If the
information you have needs to be scanned/transcribed you can use the US
Postal Service. Email Rhonda Smith for a mailing address. If you would
like your documents returned please provide a self-addressed envelope with
proper postage.
I have information to submit, but it doesn't fit
in the categories listed on the main page.
Send it anyway! This website is always growing and changing. If the information
you have is concerning history and or genealogy for Idaho it would be wonderful
to see it here. If it is for another area you can do one of two things.
Either send it to the location that it belongs or send it to Rhonda Smith
and ask that she forward it to the proper person.
How can I help?
There are several ways to help. First of all, since you are on the Idaho
State page, you probably have an interest in the area. You may have done
some research already. Send it in for others to see! Perhaps you
know what kind of content you would like to see. Make a suggestion.
Participate. Perhaps you absolutely dislike the style of something
on this page. Have a voice. Say something. Perhaps you have interest
in another area that has no coordinator yet. Volunteer to design a page.
Perhaps
you have a reference material but no time to transcribe it.
Let me know.
It will see it gets done. Perhaps you have time and would love to help
but you are not sure what to do. Let me know. There may be some projects
we need extra help with.
I have a page with another organization, can I
link to ALHN also?
Yes. ALHN members are independent sites. As long as your current
organization does not prohibit dual memberships you are more than welcome
to join ALHN. In fact the ID State Coordinator encourages this. The more
doors you have open for your information -- the better for your site!
