Articles that reference Souls Discovered While Researching
This is documentation about a few people who’ve captured my attention while researching. The entries posted in this category aren’t tied to my primary research subjects, so what is posted is often all I have to share (unless otherwise noted).
My inspiration for publishing my findings here is to provide digital breadcrumbs of not so easy to find documents for other researchers.
Happy Researching!
