Rogers Park / West Ridge Historical Society

The Rogers Park / West Ridge Historical Society has had a presence on the internet for over ten years. In the 1990s, Society founder Mary Jo Doyle, who served as executive director of the Society until her passing in 2008, saw the benefits of reaching out to the public using what was then a relatively new technology.
