Our entire local history family was heartbroken by the death of #HistoryForge co-founder Robert Kibbee on May 31st 2022. The project combined many of Bob's passions, including maps, census data, genealogy, and local history.

Any guesses? Where might the corner of Sprague Boulevard and S. Tioga St be found today? Explore https://t.co/brfNrYleUW to see if you can solve the mystery! Modern @googlemaps won't have answers for this missing street! #twithaca #HistoryForge
Happy #ArchivesHashtagParty! This listing on the 1898 #Sanborn Fire Insurance Map for #IthacaNY described this business as selling "Hats, Furs & Gents Goods." Eagle eyed #Ithacans might wonder where the corner of S. Tioga and Sprague Boulevard is today...? #ArchivesTipOfTheHat
We love a good toggle! #HistoryForge geo-rectifies maps on our website so researchers can easily transition between modern maps and historic maps. The #Ithaca HistoryForge project currently has 8 maps available. The #Auburn project has 5. 🗺️📈📊📉
We couldn’t let #ArchivesYouAreHere pass without showing off the toggle option on #HistoryForge! Slide back and forth ↔️ to transition between modern @googlemaps and #historicmaps 🗺 and watch how the city streets and even waterways change! #twithaca

It's #NationalHandwritingDay✒️! Did you know that early #census records in the 19th and 20th century were entirely written by hand! It takes a lot of volunteer hours 🔍to transcribe these #records to make them searchable on #HistoryForge!
HBD Dr. #MLKjr! He won't show up in the #HistoryForge census records for #Ithaca, #Auburn, #Oberlin, or #Elmira but he did make several visits to Ithaca and and Oberlin between 1957-1965.
What other #civilrights leaders can you find in these communities census records?
We will be closed Mon 1/20 for MLK Jr Day.
