Ford's Remembering Lincoln website

[Dave Taylor]

About a year ago, I, along with Surratt House's Collection's Manager, Lindsey Horn, participated in one of the earliest focus groups for this wonderful Remembering Lincoln project. Ford's Theatre was still in the planning stages then and wanted to get an idea of what historians, teachers, and the general public would like in a project such as this. Not long after, I assisted Ford's by putting up a questionnaire on my blog regarding the proposed website (http://boothiebarn.com/2014/04/11/give-f...opinion/). Since then the wonderful staff at the Ford's Theatre Society have been contacting institutions and developing this website. About a month ago I was able to preview a demo of the site and I gave them my thoughts on different things. While the website is still being added to, I believe this unveiling shows the hard work that the Ford's Theatre Society has done to create a great online resource. Be sure to explore all of the different parts it has to offer.
