This year we have decided to have a category of overseas membership. This will be $25 or £20 sterling and will include a copy of the journal, admission to any lectures or outings while visiting Newport and a quarterly email update of what is new in the Historical Society. We are hoping to do the listings of two more graveyards this year and also to have the 1911 Census on the website before Easter.
