The Archive
You do not need someone to remember to have a reason to be here
Over a hundred pages are already here, and they are meant to be read. Ordinary lives, vanished places and the history that never made it into a textbook — searchable by who, by what, and by when, from before 1800 to the present day.
Richard and Mildred Loving
The couple whose marriage went to the Supreme Court.
Elbowoods, North Dakota
A town, and the reservation around it, drowned by a dam.
Dockery Farms
A plantation in Mississippi where the blues was worked out.
Memoirs
Some lives are published a chapter at a time
A memoir on a tribute page is written and released in chapters, so there is more of the story on your next visit than there was on your last. May Flora Washburn is three chapters into An Unfulfilled Journey for Love, Acceptance, Peace, and Understanding, and the fourth is being written.
The archive grows because people volunteer to research and write these lives. If you would rather write than read, become an archivist.

More Than a Headstone
A marker gives a name and two dates. A History Stone gives the life behind them, and keeps giving it for as long as anyone cares to look.

Every Name Has a History
As time passes, stories are forgotten. Grandchildren may never meet their grandparents. Great-grandchildren may only know a name carved into stone. A History Stone means every generation can meet the person behind it.
Preserve a life. Share a legacy. Keep every story alive.
