  4. I've been adding historical information and documents into Logseq for the past few weeks. I just add a little bit each evening, and create back-links, and proofread things. It parallels nicely with my work in QGIS.

    What a really interesting learning project for me. Fun stuff.

    Here is what the "Graph View" looks like so far.

  10. The unexpected path to historical research: While covering Spanish Camp for a local newspaper in 1997, I learned about Dorothy Day's connection to Tottenville.

    While researching Tottenville, I discovered Benjamin Franklin Joline's 1950 self-published history beginning in 1668. Suddenly the street names I knew became real historical figures!
