Correspondence

Write to the Archivist

Questions, shared research, a request to reproduce something, or a note that the site itself is misbehaving — all of it reaches the same desk. Every letter is read, and one that leaves an address is answered.

If instead you know a date the chronicle has wrong, a person it has missed, or a story it never heard, the submission form is the better door — it files such things where they are triaged against the sources.

What is it about?

A questionAbout a person, a place, a source, or something the chronicle says.Shared researchYou are working on a family that meets this one, and think the lines connect.Permission to reuseA photograph, a passage, or a chart you would like to use elsewhere.A problem with the siteSomething broken, unreadable, or that will not load.Something elseAnything the headings above do not cover.

Email required

The only way an answer can reach you. It is used for that and nothing else.

What you write goes to a private correspondence book, not onto the site, and nothing of it is ever published — see the privacy note. Please do not send dates or details about living people here; the submission form is the place for those, where they are handled under that policy.
