Oil history forums and other resources for sharing information about all things petroleum.
Welcome to the American Oil & Gas Historical Society’s oil history forums with links for those seeking information about anything from family heirlooms, books, images, and oilfield equipment to service station collectibles.
For students, teachers and researchers, the AOGHS History Research Forum offers a simple way to post questions, images, and research links for artifact information sharing. AOGHS regularly updates this informal Q&A forum.
There also is an oil history forum page exclusively devoted to finding a museum to preserve family petroleum-related heirlooms — Oil & Gas Families.
Finally, for sharing information about old oil stock certificates and other financial oil history, AOGHS maintains the popular and appropriately titled forum Is my Oil Oil Stock worth Anything?
What’s it worth? If you are not researching an artifact but simply seek a commercial value, it’s better to use eBay. Use the AOGHS forums’ comment sections to share your information (the more details, the better) and visit again to see if others might have commented.
