Using Technology to Discuss history

 

   Because of Covid-19 and the need to “Shelter-in-place during 2020, and the limits to group meetings, the Historical Society has been unable to hold our monthly meetings and history programs. Meetings in the Holland Room of the Crosby library are still limited to ten people for the foreseeable future. The library is open for book return and check-out and the use of the computers on a limited basis. The research tool, “Magnolia” is available for use on the library’s computers and on home computers.

   I’m suggesting that the “boleycreekhistory” blog be setup with a weekly discussion of topics on Pearl River County history and the opportunity for readers to comment. If all goes well, it may lead to a thirty to forty minute “zoom” discussion once a week. There is also the possibility that a website could be developed for the discussions.

Please comment on this post and let me know your ideas about an online discussion of history. The blog address is: boleycreekhistory.blogspot.com
