Allen Kosub described the process for preparing the website’s content. “As historians, we believe that local history requires the same rigorous process that is brought to the grand topics of history. Primary sources and official records are essential to creating the narratives that stand the test of time.  The stories from families and communities, when supported by the historical record, are woven into their narratives and provide a local perspective and flavor.”
