OpenDurham.org is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of our community. Run by our parent nonprofit, Preservation Durham, the site requires routine maintenance and upgrades.

Your support allows us to maintain this valuable resource, expand our archives, and keep the history of Durham accessible to everyone.
