Family Organizations Subcommittee
Mission
John Marriott Historical Society is a prototype or template family
organization for other families. Since we are not having any
information in the organization or website for the generations
after the 3rd
generation after John Marriott, Sr., we are encouraging all of
our members to have their own websites for their families. Each
family can decide how many families will go together to form
the family organization. We hope each will choose to have a family
website to provide easy member communication and coordination
of
calendars, birthdays, events, genealogy research, etc. We want
our society to provide unpaid consultants to families who want
to do this and offer books and other material on our website
that will help form these new family organizations.
Functions:
- Start with the 4th and 5th generation after John Marriott,
Sr. and offer the family representatives help in forming
their own
family organizations and websites.
Chair: Russ Marriott
Committee Members: positions available
Projects:
- To be determined.
Family Websites Subcommittee
Mission
Because of the powerful communications abilities of a family website,
we are offering this John Marriott Historical Society website
as a template to members of the society to create their own websites.
This website has a retail value of about $10,000. We are offering
our members a duplicate copy, with the option of customizing
it
to the family’s particular specific needs, for a small
charge through 1FN. The society will receive a small royalty,
since our
contributors paid for the website construction.
Functions:
- To be determined.
Chair: position available
Committee Members: positions available
Projects:

Preservation Methods Subcommittee
Mission
Preserving old, antique items to be sustained into the future is
an ever evolving science that is hard to keep track of. For that
reason, we feel that it would be in the interest of our member
for some of us to be very knowledgeable or find those who are
experts to lend their expertise to the society. We want information
on
preserving photos, documents, newspaper articles, etc. that become
yellowed or deteriorate over time. We also want to understand
how the computer replaces the micro-fish as a resource for long
term
storage and retrieval of old documents and material.
Functions:
- Invite professions to present information to the subcommittee
members to determine if their products and services should
be in our website vendor section.
- Do internet searches to determine information that is available
to the public that we could make available by linking
to our website.
- Hold seminars for our members on preservation methods
and processes.
Chair: position available
