One piece of advice I can give as a former chapter historian is to write the chapter history out while the events are happening, not at the end of your term when you don't remember anything! I was given this advice and ignored it but it really will make your life so much easier to even have a bulleted list of big events to draw from.
My chapter also made a yearbook using Snapfish every year and pulling photos off of Facebook got to be a huge hassle, so if you have people send you the original pictures or store them in a Google Drive somewhere you'll have high-quality versions to access for anything you need. I also had to submit updates to our national magazine so having those original photos helped for that too.
