Measurable Outcome(s)

Without question project targets were achieved. Most of the volunteers had never conducted local history research. With this project they became well acquainted with OTCHS resources and procedures. One difference was that research parameters were harder to identify that originally estimated. Research generated scores of ideas. The challenge was to pare down the ideas for a workable script development.
