The items preserved at the RMWHS Archive were obtained through  donations from members, local residents, historians, authors, and descendants of families with roots that trace back to the earliest days of Roxborough, Manayunk, and Wissahickon. Local businesses, schools, churches, and a great many organizations have also contributed to the treasures the RMWHS Archive holds.

Please note: RMWHS is not computerized. All resources must be searched through manually.
