HHS Preserves the 20th Century

The 20th Century is our past, and it is important to save the things that relate to it.

Have you noticed how much telephones, for example, have changed through your lifetime? Well, children today are fascinated by, of all things, a dial telephone! They try to punch in the numbers by sticking their fingers in the dial! The innovations of the 20th Century are so recent that we don’t think of them as part of history, but they are.

The Collection is currently at the Archives in the Public Safety Center along with documents, books and items related to Hoover’s history. (See Archives and Office page for more information)

Donations are accepted in accordance with our policies. (Click here to see document) The Hoover Historical Society reserves the right to refuse donations, as our space is limited.
