Serendipty Moments While Sorting and Processing Pioneer Diaries
I was working on a sorting project for the Scappoose historical society. Someone brought me another bag of materials from the Watts house museum collections. For them I create notebooks with page protectors as I sort. This bag had papers with some information on relatives or ancestors of the people who built the house. It had several copies of pioneer diaries. I finished it last night. Then this afternoon came a package in the mail from the California Historical Society who I contacted about pioneer diaries for the Watts family in their collections. For the final step I will review the diaries to see if they are the same, but already I see new items. Feels like serendipity when things randomly show up when I need to work on them next!
