Something new! Starting this week, my Monday’s Life Story Quote of The Week will be replaced by Monday’s Link Roundup. I feel a change is due and the roundup will provide you with useful information. Each Monday then, I’ll bring you life story links that are educational, inspirational, insightful, and funny.
On another note. Today marks my blog’s first year anniversary. I’m pleased to have reached this milestone. So far I’ve written 154 posts and over 10,000 readers like you have stopped by to take a look. Thank you for your support. In the coming year, I look forward to bringing you some new features and ongoing helpful articles. Please keep your comments coming and tell me what you’d like to see on these pages.
Here’s this Monday’s roundup:
- The Tree Museum: For artist Katie Holten, trees are the natural starting point for an oral history of a city street in the Bronx.
- Digital Archives Unlocks Forgotten Stories: African American filmmaker and photographer Thomas Allen Harris recently created a new media platform. It taps into a vast network of Black photographic archives across the nation, bringing a fresh look at African American history and community.
- America’s past on YouTube: The National Archives, in celebration of its 75th anniversary, has posted 17 videos to YouTube from its audio-visual collection.
- Once Upon a Time in the Bronx: Author Richard Conniff writes, “The purpose of family stories is to tell us who we are, and how to live, in good times and bad, and it seems to me that, without thinking about it, I have always regarded Pop, the great-grandfather I never knew, as my model.”
- Share your memories of the first moon walk: If you are willing to record your memories for an oral history of the event for USA TODAY, send your story, full name, and contact information to [email protected].
- Introducing Member Connect: Coming soon to Ancestry.com, Member Connect will help you stay in touch with other members who also happen to be researching your ancestors. You’ll be able to contact them, share research, and be notified when they add new content about your ancestors to their family trees.
