History is a lot of fun if you keep with it and don't approach everything with the opinion that these people were dry, dusty and boring just because they are from the past. If you look a bit deeper you can see that their lives were scandalous, exciting, and you might just find that you relate to what they went through. Myrle Robertson Bradshaw is able to give just a glimpse into how these historical figures from our past must have lived. It's truly very cool and, best of all, you can hear it all on VoiceThread.com!
I do have some more editing to do, and the rest of Myrle's story is going to be uploaded on Tuesday by 5:00 PM PST. Stay tuned. Unfortunately there isn't going to be a retouched photo up on the blog today, but keep checking in for several more next week.
My biggest challenge today was creating a write-up for new resources that the Regional History Department desperately needs. I spanned everything from new high end computers that can facilitate photo editing tasks, to new electrical and internet connections for volunteers, patrons, and researchers to use. If you have any ideas (or money :) ) feel free to stop by or comment on this blog, Facebook, or Twitter.
