The Preservation of History is our greatest purpose
The Preservation of History is our greatest purpose
Ever since I was young, I have found great interest in history and, now that I have the resources, I want to ensure that the history we are lucky to enjoy is not forgotten. By maintaining this private archive of historical artifacts and the articles I write, I hope to preserve our very tangible links to the past. My focus is on ensuring these articles remain accessible and, hopefully, will allow the next generation to learn and develop the same interest that drives me today.
