More than a few times, Henry Hunt, erstwhile webmaster of the Welles Family Association, has asked me if I would do a blog for the site. "Sure," I've always said, but the task always ends up at a lower priority than everything else. This year I vow to do it differently. This year, I am starting the blog. Henry will just have to link to it. [Insert evil grin here.]
My plan is to let the cousins in their farflung corners of the universe know a little about how the book is progressing. I share some of this in my twice-yearly Wellesprings newsletter column. This blog will give me a greater opportunity to let you know about progress.
I'll explain a lot of things about the book, as well. Things like how it began as a project, who has been involved, and how it is organized. Along the way I also will talk about the Manuscript of the book, that is, about the research materials and handwritten and typed documents that will ultimately be accessioned to The Connecticut Historical Society as the Welles Family Association Manuscripts. That's a lot of information and I'm glad there is a way to share it with you all.
More blogging in the near future!
Yours, Barbara
I think this will be very interesting reading, Barbara. Thanks for sharing the process with us!
