Original message -------------- <BR>From: Robyn Greenlund
<rgreenlund61@yahoo.com> <BR>The website www.coquillevalley.org is now
up and operational. <BR><BR>This project is tied directly to the new Coquille
Valley Historical Museum located in Coquille. All my research into my home in
Myrtle Point has resulted in my getting a lot more involved in helping to
automate the records and information from the local area. The new Historical
Society and museum are incredibly receptive to help and suggestions, and are
receiving a considerable number of artifacts and photographs from the local
area (Take a look at the Museum lin to see what all they have in the museum
already).<BR><BR>One of the focal points of the website will be to use the
Internet to help identify some of the hundreds of photographs they have that
were done by a local photographer between abt 1880 and the turn of the
century. This name was Charles Wilkins.<BR><BR>The website is by no means
complete (are they ever????) but you can use the What's New links to keep
track of what I've completed. Some of pro jects closest to going online are a
second timeline for Myrtle Point based on the book Myrtle Point Beginnings
(the first went active last week); information on the Smith Wood Products
factory in Coquille and help in identifing some 170 employees of the mill in
abt 1933; and transcribing biographies from Orvil Dodge's book, Pioneer
History of Coos and Curry County for the US Biography project. And to continue
another thread...The existing online index to Orvil's book is wonderful, but
only contains about half the names found in the biography section of the book.
There is also an index that was done some time ago that indexes both the
narrative and biographical sections of the book - it's a fantastic
resource.<BR><BR>For the computer savvy...Please only bookmark
coquillevalley.org a s I will keep the domain but will be moving to a new host
soon. The host I started with didn't mention a couple critical factors - like
there are pop-ups associated with using their site and that I can't access my
domain from their servers. So everything is mapped and boomarks don't
work.<BR><BR>Regards-<BR>Robyn<BR>
