Research Notes
Research notes are interpretation, with sources listed. They live separately from the catalogue records on the main archive site, and they do not change any catalogue title, place, date, or blurb.
- Mauch Chunk, the town that sold the slope three times — how a coal town in a gorge sold its gravity railroad as a ride, and then sold its own name.
- Isles of Shoals, where a garden outlived the hotels — how a fishing town on bare rocks became two rival hotels, and what a garden, a fire, and a conference house left behind.
- Delaware Water Gap, where the river kept the valley — how hotel keepers turned a river notch into a season, and how a government tried to turn the valley into a lake, and failed.
