Picked up the mail, as I do every morning, and saw that we had received the new issue of History News, a magazine produced by the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH). Late last year, I was asked to write an article on how to collect house history for an AASLH Technical Leaflet. While the article took quite some time to write, once I was finished with it, it went to the back of my mind, pretty much forgotten. Today, when I opened History News, there it was … the Technical Leaflet I had written, House History: Some Assembly Required. In the flesh, as it were, and such a delightful surprise.
Individual copies of Technical Leaflets (AASLH has been publishing them for a long time – mine is #247) can be ordered directly from AASLH. The house history one is so new, it’s not yet appearing on the website list, but I wouldn’t think there’d be any trouble with ordering it.
I’m catching up on my old reading…love your House History article! great job!
I’m catching up on my reading and just finished your article. I enjoyed it very much. Great job! Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words, Melissa!
