Petroleum history offers context for understanding modern energy challenges. The American Oil & Gas Historical Society (AOGHS) preserves U.S. exploration and production history while chronicling petroleum history milestones. AOGHS provides energy education resources to researchers, state and county historical societies, libraries, and others dedicated to material preservation. The historical society links community oil and gas museums and publishes a monthly email newsletter, “Oil & Gas History News” (see sign-up form below). Website visitors are invited to post old stock questions on the Stock Certificate Q&A forum page. Images can be posted in the Research & Artifacts Forum or — for finding museums to preserve family heirlooms — the Oil & Gas Families Forum. Email the society at bawells@aoghs.org if you would like a research question added. Include details that will be posted. Please support this effort. Thank you! — Bruce A. Wells, executive director, AOGHS, 3204 18th Street, NW, No. 3, Washington, DC  20010.
