PrenticeNet

If you appreciate the information that PrenticeNet offers, there are a number of ways that you can show your support.

• Become a member.  Basic membership with PrenticeNet is free. For a nominal fee, you can become a Supporting Member which gives you access to additional content, and helps us to pay the bills to keep the website running. See Membership Options below.
• Volunteer to provide content.  Regardlesss of your membership type, all members can volunteer to author and maintain web pages on topics that interest you. Just let us know about ideas you've got and we'll see where it fits in to the website.
• Donate items to the Prentice Museum.  If you've got Prentice-related items that you no longer want, we'd be glad to take them off your hands. Or if you've got items that you do want to keep, but would like to share them with others, we'd love to get photos (paper or digital) of them. Either way, your items will end up being featured in the Prentice Museum for all to see!
• Research.  There is always the need for the gathering of more information. When you travel to new places, look for Prentices. Even in your home town, check the cemeteries and clerks office for Prentice information. Most of the items in the Prentice Museum are in dire need of research. If you see something that you'd like to learn more about, just let us know!
• Purchase Prentice items or contribute.  Any purchases you make from the PrenticeNet Store help to keep the site running. We also gladly accept financial donations! (Sorry .. we're not officially a non-profit organization, but do guarantee that all purchases and contributions go directly back in to buying more items for the museum or keeping the website running.)

Membership Options

You can become a member of PrenticeNet by clicking the "register" link at the top of the page. Becoming a member lets you add comments to pages as well as access any members-only pages. Also, when a member adds a query or guest book entry, the entry is linked to their username rather than their email address. This means that when you change email addresses, people will still be able to contact you if you keep your PrenticeNet membership information up to date.

• Basic.  Basic membership is free, and is required for other levels of membership. To start the ball rolling, just register!
