Please help us.
We can only save as much Donner Summit history as we can gather. If you have stories, artifacts, documents, pictures, or other materials, let us know and we'll be happy to make copies, take what you've written, sit down with you and record memories, or do whatever it takes to save our history. People have been passing on history to us as you can see below. None of those stories would have been possible or will be possible without the donations of materials from the public.
