Online Collections | History Center (pastperfectonline.com)
It's a slow and time-consuming process, but we continue to add new items to our online collections. Particularly, we have added to the individual biographies of our local people. While we collect obituary and other information for all our local burials, checking them over in detail before we click to add it to the upload take time. There are already 5,000 biographies uploaded, some with photos, and many more thousands just waiting for a final check. You'll find them in the Browse by Term - People section, alphabetic by name at birth.
Take a look. The ONLY way to learn your way around this utility is to read the guidelines and poke every link. Just explore, go wandering. You'll be surprised.
You will find lists of people (all by name at birth), lists of subjects, or try searching on keywords which is just about anything. Our genealogy database of local connections includes over 100,000 individuals. Over 11,000 of them are also included in our museum files with links to schools, cemeteries, businesses, etc. People are only included online if we have an object or photos associated with them, although they are in our files if they are/were local (lived here, buried here, went to school here). If your family is not shown, send us photos so they can be.
You can select Random Images and follow something that catches your eye.
Try searching for advertisements. They link to businesses and the life stories of the people who ran them, and even the buildings they operated in.
You can also link to the online catalogs through our landing page at joycetice.com.
We have lots more fine-tuning and linking to do for our online presentation, but you'll be surprised what you find when you get lost in our files.
