My local history resources
My intent when starting this podcast was to utilize every local history resource I could get my hands on! I started visiting the local history museum, the navy history museum, the library. I started planning episodes to match the open exhibits.
Well. Then quarantine happened. and fires. and a second shutdown. I’ve kind of landed on my butt with nowhere to go.
For now, I’m going to move forward with the resources I have. They are as follows:
