From time to time FHABC receives questions or submissions from museums, archives or individual researchers. Various volunteers help prepare an answer. We use email to contact members we know have knowledge and interest in the topic, and sometimes use our Facebook group to continue the conversation.
We summarize the results and present them to our members and readers in various ways:
- a summary file on our website, linked to this index
- an abstract in our newsletter linked to our summary file
- a posting on our Facebook group page
Our topics so far:
