History Detectives has grown from an afternoon of three programs featuring the research projects of local historians to a day-long event created in collaboration with local groups with a history of working together. Now in its fourteenth year, History Detectives
continues to offer up-to-date history from independent researchers and academic historians to popular audiences —virtually, when necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
