HISTORY HOME PAGE 

Welcome to my History Home Page.  Featured here are papers written during my ten-year career as a college and graduate student in the fields of history & library science.  While not all of the titles are exciting, the information within them discusses several centuries of history.  Many include images of the people and places described and most feature bibliographies that may assist other researchers in those areas of study.
