The Historical Society is currently in the process of having the first twenty five years of the Ambler Gazette scanned to be put on Micro Film in order to be digitized for all to see and use on the Internet. This is in cooperation with the Wissahickon Valley Library which has done much work in obtaining donations from local service organizations.
