RGM&HS Facebook group was started by the society and is open to anyone for all topics D&RGW, including current operations over former Rio Grande territory.  This Facebook group currently has over 1,600 members and is quite actively on a daily basis

The society also supports conversation on two groups on Groups.io (formerly hosted on Yahoo groups) The two groups of note around the Rio Grande to be aware of:

The Society is frequently approached by preservation organizations looking for the Society’s support on a project.  While most are seeking historical information, some are also looking for financial and volunteer support. The RGM&HS Board discussed these types of requests in our May 2021 BOT meeting and the best ways to support them.  As a result of the conversation a policy was purposed by Mike Carlson and passed by the board detailing how the Society will deal with organizations requesting our help with restoration projects specifically related to the preservation of the D&RGW equipment etc.  The rationale of the policy is to provide fair and equitable attention to all those organization’s project fund-raising activities, in a manner that is sustainable for the RGM&HS with its limited resources.

We see our participation and contribution to these various projects by first providing awareness and sharing information of the projects to our members so they may donate to the restoration project they might desire to support. The RGM&HS will provide at no charge advertising space in either the Green Light, Prospector and or RGMHS website, to those historical preservation societies and or organizations, for the purpose to socializing the restoration of prototypical D&RGW railroad equipment, structures, signs, etc..  The size and frequency of these ads to be determined at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, on a case by case basis.
