In the footsteps of Beth Mitchell
Nothing could be more appropriate for the lead article kicking off this site than an account of my debt to Beth Mitchell. Her body of work is the best example I could offer of mapping history and sharing it with others. The Fairfax County History Commission honors her memory with it’s Beth Mitchell Prize, which recognizes “pure research that consolidates and indexes primary source materials into a format that can be used to support further understanding and interpretation of Fairfax County history.”
