In the Brownie Museum, I post articles and photographs from my personal Brownie research and from those stored at the Halifax Historical Society Museum.
Eventually, the goal is to have ALL things Brownie posted online and hopefully they will become a book.
Each post shows the original article (which you can easily enlarge to read) and my notes. These note call out some of the people mentioned in the article, who they were and why they are important. I also note what is still around today and what can be visited or what needs further research.
If you are interested in helping out on this project, please say hello.
Thanks,
Eddie
