What would happen if we didn’t collect, share and archive our history? Would we remember? Would our children know how to define a hero? History is about old gadgets, farm tools, roads that have been paved over and leaders who are no longer with us. But it is also our culture, our collective being, our heritage. It is about all of us, not one of us. It reflects who we were and who we have become. History is important. Learn as much as you can and share it.
