What we know, what we remember, what remains open.
The journal distinguishes documented facts from oral recollections and clearly marks identifications or details that are still being researched. Sources and image captions should travel with each story so readers can understand how the record was assembled.
Help build the record
Your family’s story belongs here.
Families can share digital copies of photographs and records and retain their originals. Memories, context, and corrections are welcome too.
