The Temple Terrace Preservation Society is a non-profit organization, and we work very hard to earn funds for our community projects through fund-raising events and product sales. Private support - through membership fees, donations and gifts - makes a critical difference in the Society's ability to be an effective steward of the historic legacy and educational endeavors for the city of Temple Terrace.

	Oral History Project. Working in conjunction with Dr. Elizabeth Bird of the College of Anthropology at University of South Florida, TTPS is videotaping interviews with long-time residents. These personal memories and recollections provide compelling insight into life in Temple Terrace over the past 75 years. An invaluable historic resource, the Oral History videos will soon be available to the public. Funding for this project was provided by a grant from the city of Temple Terrace. Dr. Bird generously donated her time.
	Bat Tower Reconstruction
	Restoration of the Community Church Parish Hall entrance doors. Architectural drawings have been completed and fund-raising is now in progress.
	Website development and maintenance - to provide outreach and education
	Tree Planting for Preservation
	Updating the Historic Resources Survey. Funding for the first phase was provided in part by the City of Temple Terrace, through a civic matching grant program.
	National Register of Historic Places nomination effort
	Donating historical books to the Temple Terrace Public Library
	Expansion of our collection of historic photographs and memorabilia
	A most important long-term goal is a partnership with the city on a designated location for housing and display of our extensive archives, artifacts and memorabilia, as well as: provide a venue for showcasing the Oral History videos; provide visibility for the organization and its efforts; improve outreach and educational opportunities; and provide resources and inspiration for restoration of our historic properties.
