In addition to the activities listed above, the St. Louis Media History Foundation is actively involved in pursuing all aspects of preserving local media history. We have an oral history effort in which media veterans are encouraged to share their memories for posterity. The foundation also maintains the St. Louis Media Halls of Fame and has established a college scholarship in the name of Joe Pollack, who was one of our original board members.

All donations, both financial and material-related, are completely tax-deductible.
