was instituted on Sunday, November 6, 1910.
After one hundred years, it is time to gather
all online info and present it in one place.
This weblog is a way to accumulate info
and show visible progress to the world
and perhaps even receive assistance from others via comments.
Each bit of info will be a separate post;
updates will be made to the appropriate post
to avoid duplication and confusion and repeated searches.
========== UPDATES ==========
New Info
New info from various resources is found almost daily.
A text is posted according to the date of the resource
to enable verification and additional near-date research.
Events are posted to the Grid according to the actual event date.
Updates reflecting these discoveries occur in the following order ...
(1) the dated weblog post receives the URL
(2) the dated weblog post receives the date/newspaper/page/column/text
(3) the Historical Timeline Grid receives the dates/events/names/activities
(4) the dated weblog post indicates the completion status as grid=yes
In other words, breadth then depth.
Expect an interval of at least one week for info
to propagate from one data entry task to the next and
to be synchronized everywhere.
