Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
1. To digitally preserve the history of those stalwart ancestors who lived, married, worked, or died in the six-county area of Pennsylvania which we serve (Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike, Susquehanna and Wayne.).
2. To provide a location (Research Center) where these records may be accessed and utilized by interested parties.
3. To staff our Research Center with volunteers who assist interested parties in person and via telephone and Internet.
4. To maintain and increase our holdings in print and digital format
5. To increase our hours of service to the public
6. To become a completely digital Research Center
7. To maintain and increase our membership and donor base.
8. To improve the physical environment of our Research center for the comfort of our staff and volunteers and the preservation of our holdings.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
1. Continue to collect print and digital information relative to ancestry in our service area.
2. Maintain a presence in the local community
3. Increase our accessibility and presence on social media
4. Continue to recruit volunteers who are willing to learn or have the abilities to collect, organize, research,and maintain our holdings and to share our treasury of information with all interested parties
5. Properly maintain our Research Center
6. Improve our fund-raising and grantsmanship skills
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
1. Dedicated volunteer staff with complementary abilities
2. Committed Board of Directors
3. Interested and supportive members
4. Facility in pretty good shape except for the roof
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
1. Physically, our Society has progressed from our founder's kitchen table and computer to a functional adaptable building with a substantial component of necessary electronic equipment.
2. Local sponsors annually support our society by sponsoring our new website.
3. In addition to public and personal records, at least three local churches and cemeteries have allowed us to digitize their valuable (and sometimes deteriorating) records.
4. Annually we host local residents who are highly knowledgeable in area ancestry study and history to speak to the public for free.
