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.

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!

📚 Have you discovered 17th Century Tottenville History Comes Alive? My book explores this small Staten Island community within the context of NY and US history.

This isn't academic dry text, but a living history that connects street names to the families who built the community. #LocalHistory #NewYorkHistory #StatenIsland #TottenvilleHistory #HistoricalResearch #IndiePublishing
