Patrons use the 'Alphabetical' link in the HSD Quick Index to locate historical sites known by name or descriptive terms. 6. What does the ‘Chronological’ section show me? Patrons use the 'Chronological' link in the HSD Quick Index to locate historical sites known by the time or date the site was originally built. 7. How can I get more information? |
