One of the goals of The Friends of the Algiers Courthouse is to form an Algiers Historical Society. In 1999, Board members and Algiers historians Kevin Herridge and Judi Robertson formed a group of interested people and began meeting. They plan to publish their first newsletter for their members with interesting articles and queries. The society is starting to collect artifacts for the Algiers museum.
