New Corporate Partnership Opportunity TEXAS TREASURES is a new partnership opportunity offered by the Dallas Historical Society. Our partners in this program will help support the conservation and appreciation of our historical collection. My Hometown and the DHS Facebook Community "Every man's memory is his private literature." - Aldous Huxley What do you remember about the Dallas neighborhood in which you grew up? We want to hear your story. The Dallas Historical Society invites you to participate in our new project called "My Hometown". Our goal is to piece together a Dallas encyclopedia one ice cream stand at a time. Record your hometown memories in a 250 - 600 word essay and send to the Dallas Historical Society: email: Dealey (subject heading "My Hometown"), or mail to: Pending approval (our criteria are few), your essay will later be published on the web. The Dallas Historical Society's website and message board has seen millions of clicks over the years. Now we are moving into the next generation of web services, a generation marked by user collaboration and sharing. Our first step in this direction is to build an online community through the social networking website www.Facebook.com. Much like the popular web service known as MySpace, Facebook allows users to create a profile of themselves and interact in a number of fun ways. Facebook, however, is more exclusive than MySpace and allows for more personal privacy. The best way to learn more is to get on Facebook and join our community. It's easy. And once you are there, you can chat in the forums or participate in Historical Society projects, such as "My Hometown". Ultimately, much of our activities on Facebook will be incorporated into a new Dallas Historical Website - a website built in part by its visitors, a website that allows virtual access to significant parts of DHS archives and museum collections. So let’s get started! Send us an email asking to join our online community and we’ll send you an invitation. Have you been to one? The Dallas Historical Society's Brown Bag Lunch series! Join us for lunch the second Wednesday of every month from noon to 1:00pm as the DHS shows off parts of its collection. Guest speakers and staff speak on a variety of topics relevant to the museum's holdings, including art, conflict, characters and commerce. See our Exhibits page for a list of topics by month. Don't forget to bring your lunch! Admission is free. Groups, please RSVP by contacting us at 214.421.4500 x 101 or send an email. Copyright © 2002 by the Dallas Historical Society.
