Support AOGHS

American Oil & Gas Historical Society (AOGHS) membership is free — please complete the registration form — but we need your annual financial support to maintain operations and this website. If everyone who enjoys our work helps fund it, we can expand our coverage.

Your Support makes a Difference

Individual contributions help AOGHS preserve U.S. petroleum history! Become part of this dedicated community of oil patch historians and energy educators. 

Supporting members mean a lot to the historical society — and its future. Be sure to register to receive our monthly email newsletter — an updated summary of the website’s This Week in Petroleum History. 

AOGHS is in the business of preserving petroleum history, which provides a context for understanding the modern energy industry. Donations can also be made via PayPal. 

Any support is greatly appreciated. Questions? Email Executive Director Bruce Wells (bawells@aoghs.org) or call (202) 387-6996. Make checks payable to American Oil & Gas Historical Society — or AOGHS — and mail to AOGHS 3204 18th St, NW, No. 3, Washington, DC 20010.
