He is a member of the Egg Harbor Historical Society and edits bi-monthly emails on the history of Egg Harbor from 100 years past. He also edits the Historical Society's quarterly newsletters and does a yearly update of the Village's self-guided walking tour. In addition, Giz has assembled numerous local history manuscripts and prepared and presented local history programs.
