Working with Dave's Collected History of Bartlett and the Historical Society's New Website.

The new site's focus is different than my version (that you are now viewing). Their new site relies on the "Past Perfect" software application for you to search topics.  It has good and not so good features.  It finds lots of things, sometimes with no relevance to your search.  The end result, the search presentation and details are often disappointing. All the historical pictures they took from this website have been defaced with a garish "Bartlett Historical Society" watermark. The lack of an index or content headings is a major flaw.  The search function is good at telling you which folder at the museum you can go to for the information but that involves a trip to their museum to see it.  It's excellent at finding some basic details about various people but usually with little detail. 

Since their site is very new, I expect improvements and additions will be made as time passes. Presenting historic content in a meaningful and interesting format is a lengthy process.
