The West Pasco Historical Society is always looking for contributions of historically accurate articles and news stories for places, people, or events in the Pasco County area. If you would like to submit an article for publication on this website, please contact archives.wphs@gmail.com.
Note: The on-line history archives of the West Pasco Historical Society were originally maintained by our digital archivist, Jeff Miller, on his own website at Fivay.org. When Jeff passed away in 2022, his material from Fivay.org was imported to this website to make sure that it would continue to be available. This page began as a table of contents to Jeff’s articles that were imported. The West Pasco Historical Society adds new material and makes corrections as necessary. To make sure links remain valid in the future, we recommend that you reference articles on this website instead of those of Fivay.org.
