What an incredible detective story! It looks like this mystery is on its way to being solved. Months of documentary research were needed to locate the site before excavation could begin, including maps, newspapers, probate and genealogical records, and deeds. This is one aspect of an archaeologist's work that is often overlooked, but equally important. Looking forward to learning more as new details and artifacts come to light. There are so many more amazing stories waiting to be told around New England. What's next? https://lnkd.in/eKbEdr9B
Pompey was elected a Colonial-era 'king.' Did researchers find the foundation of his home outside Boston?

Another U.S. public library realizing the power of Recollect in sharing its digital content- in this case, a trove of genealogical content with more to come in the future. Many of our sites contain not only historically and culturally significant materials, but genealogically important materials as well- from city directories, newspapers, yearbooks, newsletters, house organs, and other periodicals, as well as photographs. Creating accounts on these sites allows you to bookmark items for further research at a later time. #contentmanagement #digitalassetmanagement #collectionsmanagement #culturalheritagecollections
The St. Louis County Library History and Genealogy Department has launched a new digital archive, facilitating research and discovery for scholars, genealogists, and the St. Louis County community. In a significant step forward for accessibility and efficiency, patrons can now utilize the digital archives' easy-to-use interface to search, discover, and retrieve historically valuable material from the department's comprehensive collection. As the St. Louis County Library continues to digitize its physical collections to expand the digital archive, an upcoming move to a state-of-the-art facility at the Clark Family branch will also see the introduction of a Memory Lab, enabling patrons to record their family histories and digitize photographs and legacy media.
