Facebook and history


Anybody who uses Facebook knows that one of its appeals is that you can share photos with "friends."  Many organizations dedicated to the study of history, such as the Centre County Historical Society, now are using Facebook to the share photos from their archives. Other groups have sprung up just on Facebook. One of these is "Old Florida," a group dedicated to commemorating and preserving the culture, history and environment of Florida. Here's a photo of an old country church in one of my favorite historic places, St. Augustine.
