Jesse Warren Clement

I have just posted my first "story page" on footnote.com. For those unfamiliar with the term, a story page is a user generated page on footnote. Users can upload photos and write content to share with others. Here is a link to my story page on Jesse Warren Clement based on a biographical sketch that I wrote for a family history class.

Google and Ebay in the Civil War

Chris at Footnote put together this blog post on the official Footnote Blog:

It is interesting to find "modern" terms and names in the past.

Project Blue Book

The Project Blue Book publication is making it's way out onto the Footnote site. For those not familiar with it (I wasn't before I started working with it at Footnote), it is a collection of documentation about UFO sightings in the 40s, 50s and 60s.

Also one of the other employees at Footnote put together a story page about some of the encounters at http://www.footnote.com/page/394/

Enjoy!

Ezra Taft Benson

One of the first publications that I worked on at footnote was the Photo collections of some of the US Presidents from the mid 1900s. Before he became President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ezra Taft Benson was Secretary of Agriculture for President Eisenhower. So when I was reviewing the Eisenhower photos, I searched for Ezra Taft Benson and these are a few of the images that I've found.

There are some others of the cabinet which should include President Benson.

First Post

In the interest of full disclosure, first off, I work for footnote. I started there about a month ago, a few weeks after the site launched. Part of my responsibilities include helping with the process of getting the new content onto the website. This gives me the opportunity to review examples of the content while I'm working.

What I hope to do on this blog is to post examples of interesting content that I find during my perusal of the content on footnote.com. I hope this helps you out there to be interested in the footnote content and what it has to offer.
