Dear Friend,
The world of technology moves at a quick pace, and at the Sunnyvale Historical Society and Museum Association, we are committed to documenting this technological revolution for future generations. To do this, we need your help.
This year, we're embracing a bold goal: to bring our museum's technology into 2026. We love to honor the past, but our current systems are stuck in it. Website and database technology has moved far ahead and we aren't able to harness the full scope of the digital power being invented right here in Sunnyvale without significant upgrades. We need our digital systems to communicate with one another in an integrated way.
To better serve our visitors, members, and staff, we're launching our Annual Giving Drive with a goal to raise $25,000. Your donation will help us:
- Update our website to improve accessibility and engagement
- Invest in a modern Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform to manage memberships and communications
- Upgrade our computers and internal technology
- Modernize our museum store technology
- Provide live tech support for staff learning the use of these new tools
We're also committed to improving our online presence to attract younger audiences and show that while we present history, we're fully modern in how we communicate. Giving is easy!
- By check: Please make your check payable to "Sunnyvale Historical Society and Museum

This Thanksgiving, we are so grateful for your support to continue to share Sunnyvale's story with future generations and keep the floppy disks where they belong - in an exhibit.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Board of Directors, Sunnyvale Historical Society and Museum Association
President, Sunnyvale Historical Society
