About This Project

This web site was created by Viktoria Sinex as part of the Art of Local History program (Fall 2003) at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. It is intended to become an 'exhibit' associated with the Olympia Historical Society web site. The intention of the program was to explore history via its presentation in physical museums and on-line exhibits.
