Thanks for the kind words about COLUMB...Hey Larry,<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words about COLUMBIA. The lastest issue (Fall 2010) has articles on the following topics: <br /><br />Preservation and the Natural Environment<br />Contemporary Makah Whaling<br />U-10 Pond at Hanford<br />The Mullan Road<br />Baxter Army Hospital (WWII-Spokane)<br /><br />AND, the Winter 2010-11 issue is going to be available in its entirety, complete with illustrations, as a downloadable PDF. Spread the word. We need feedback on whether there is an audience for a digital version of the printed magazsine.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06716184384958165549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533010775907799154.post-60057353758072200522010-04-22T09:20:46.931-07:002010-04-22T09:20:46.931-07:00Hi Larry--
Thanks for trying out our new portal. ...Hi Larry--<br /><br />Thanks for trying out our new portal. As with any new product, we have gone through a series of bug fixes and you may have caught us on a day when we were making adjustments. Using the search box on the upper right of the page, I entered Spokane and got the following results:<br /><br />388 in Collections Catalog<br />1 in Washington Stories<br />1 in Women's History Consortium<br />17 in Featured Collections<br />59 in COLUMBIA Publications<br /><br />This is a Google search of our whole site, including ContentDM and other resources. If you search our Collections catalog directly:<br /><br />http://collections.washingtonhistory.org/<br /><br />and use Spokane as your keyword, you will come up with 924 items. This is because the general search is designed to spotlight items that contain multimedia and the collections search is designed for researchers who will likely want all info regardless of format.<br /><br />We try to have a variety of resources representing all areas of Washington history. Getting complete records of our items online has been a challenge, but we continue to improve our offerings and are pleased to see that people are using the site.<br /><br />Thanks for your feedback and I hope you give the portal another try!<br /><br />Tamara Georgick<br />Washington State Historical SocietyTamarahttp://collections.washingtonhistory.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533010775907799154.post-3448132994726443302010-04-19T16:37:40.269-07:002010-04-19T16:37:40.269-07:00I grew up in Longview and was fishing the sloughs ...I grew up in Longview and was fishing the sloughs with my Dad and a can of worms by the time I was five. There wasn't much to catch and it was of questionable fitness if caught. My Dad worked for Weyerhaeuser. Mr. Jester across the street worked for Long-Bell. Mr. Norman, two houses down, worked for Fiber. The sloughs smelled to high heaven, but all the kids of the neighborhood loved "slough day."Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843304885770564990noreply@blogger.com
