    I have several lines from Pennsylvania, and this discussion of the HSP records was very informative. Thank you, I will be re-listening soon.

    Loved the tips for navigating the website, what’s there and more importantly, what’s not, use the finding aids, and be prepared before you go the HSP Archive.
