Haverford Township Historical Society

is proud to sponsor a juried exhibition of photographs taken in and around our Township.

We invite you to step into history with us by entering your favorite photograph taken in Haverford Township into this juried exhibition.

The exhibition will take place inside Nitre Hall on Karakung Drive during the HTHS Heritage Festival on May 6, 2007, 11 AM – 5 PM and will feature the 50 top-juried photographs. All entries that are submitted with an accompanying copy in digital format will be featured in a slideshow on the HTHS website and will be preserved in the archives of the Haverford Township Historical Society.

An entry fee of $10 for the first photograph and $5 for each additional photograph will be charged to defray the costs of the exhibition.

Haverford Township Historical Society

Our Photograph Collection

The Haverford Township Historical Society was formed in 1939 to promote and sustain interest in the history of our community. With the specific function of preserving property, documents and information of historic value pertaining to Haverford Township, HTHS has played a critical role in local preservation efforts.

One of the ways that HTHS helps history come alive for residents and visitors to our area is through photography. The photograph collection housed by HTHS at Nitre Hall, our headquarters on Karakung Drive, contains vintage photographs as well as more current scenes. There are works from professional photographers as well as hobbyists.  There are realtor photographs, portraits, and just about any other type of picture you can imagine. We have published a book of photographs from this collection as well as a 2007 calendar.

As part of our ongoing effort to keep history alive and well in Haverford Township, we need to document our community as it exists today.  We need your help!
