Funnily enough, I was inspired to form the
Society when I heard a member of the Titanic Historic
Society describe how his society was formed after
precious documents relating to the sinking of the RMS Titanic
were destroyed when there was no group to which those
documents could be donated for preservation. There was also
the prospect of establishing a small group of Corregidor
History aficionados who might share in the esoteric knowledge
of our compulsion.
Not everyone who is interested in Corregidor is in the USA,
and able to visit the National Archives or Carlisle Barracks.
The Corregidor Historic Society publishes the four
Websites. So as to afford to be able to so,
we have a membership fee. The money goes to payment of
the Internet Service Provider and the costs of acquiring
materials for the website. (Be aware that I am not collecting
anything except information.)
So what is the benefit of joining?
With no new members, there will be no websites. It's as
simple as that.
Once a year, we try to arrange a study trip to Corregidor
for a week or ten days. Everyone's welcome on these. You don't
have to join the Society to come along with us, but it'd
sure help you get to know the difference between an 1898
mortar and a hole in the ground.
When you join, we will issue you with a CD-ROM Membership
Disk. This is the same disk that we send to those who
join the 503d Heritage Bn., so don't panic. It contains no
free offers and no coupons. It does contain a complete copy of
the four Websites as at the day of issue, and includes a
series of articles, resources and digital photographs that are
not available on "free to air" Internet. There's an index of
these (see Contents button below.)
With the CD, you have instant response to the loading of
all pages, and you won't need hundreds of hours online to
research into the topics which interest you. We're sure you're
interested in something, otherwise you wouldn't have
read this far, would you?
So what's keeping you?
Sincerely,
Paul Whitman.
