Special Thanks!

Special Acknowledgments

I would like to acknowledge the following organizations that are helping to keep history alive:

The Provincetown History Preservation Project
Conceived by Town Hall staff and concerned citizens, the Provincetown History Preservation Project’s goal is to preserve important historical documents in the Town’s care through the process of digitization, thereby assuring greater access to the information. The Project’s initial focus is on the documents and photographs that were once a part of the Provincetown Heritage Museum, whose doors closed to the public in 1999. The material had since been stored in an inappropriate and inaccessible attic storage location and was quickly fading from public memory.
The Naples Historical Society
The mission of Naples Historical Society is to preserve Naples history and heritage for the community and future generations to enjoy.
The Marco Island Historical Society
Marco Island Historical Museum is a history museum on Marco Island, Florida, Collier County, Florida. It is operated by the Marco Island Historical Society and is part of the Collier County Museum System. Its exhibitions include information on the Calusa Indians and the history of development on Marco Island.
The San Diego Air & Space Museum Archives
The San Diego Air & Space Museum in Historical Balboa Park welcomes you to visit. Have fun exploring over 70 aircraft! See you on the moon. Come have fun
The Peter Keating Collection / A Flying History Ltd.
An archive of 120000 photographs of aircraft. Photographer Peter R Keating took over 120000 photos of aeroplanes between 1940 and 1980.
