Do you ever stop along the side of the road to read one of the many historical markers that have been erected? There was an interesting article in the recent Internet Genealogy magazine about a database project that holds over a half-million photos of markers in the U. S., Canada and several other countries.
The five states with the most markers on the site: New York, Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania and California. Foreign countries with the most include Canada, United Kingdom and Mexico.
The site is run by volunteers, and anyone can become a contributor by creating a free account. Visit www.hmdb.org to explore this website.
