The mission of this web site is to promote and to create an awareness of the history and cultural legacy of Redding, Connecticut, Georgetown, Connecticut and Branchville, Connecticut.

I will do this by:

• engaging site visitors with photos and information about my target areas
• creating new online exhibits for collections that are sent to me
• creating new online learning experiences for historic topics relating to my target areas
• presenting my photos and postcards at local libraries and event halls
• working with other local preservation, cultural and educational organizations, freely exchanging new information and photos
• working with local businesses to promote their products and services

For more information about my current projects, call me at 860-364-7475. One project of note is my Stormfield Digitization Project. . The digitization project will transform the Mark Twain Library's static archives into a dynamic Digital Historical Resource (web site) which will provide 24/7 online access to photos & information connected with the beloved American author's final years in Connecticut. The progress of this project can be viewed at: http://twainproject.blogspot.com and a full explaination of the project is downloadable in Word format: MTL_Funding_Request.doc
