Calendar of Events
Finding the facts of events that happened hundreds of years ago is difficult, to say the least. The internet has become an incredible boon to researchers as primary sources such as National Archives, museums, and libraries index the millions of items and make them available to the public. Nevertheless, there are thousands of local museums and sites that have documents that are not indexed anywhere and the only way to get to them is to go there and ask local experts.
