The March 22 program of the Redlands Area Historical Society will provide an update on three of its popular offerings: its web site, its RAHS Explorer app, and its Redlands Historical Timeline Story Map. The Society\u2019s website at www.rahs.org<\/a> provides the public announcements on the monthly programs, walking tours and annual Heritage Awards. During the last year over 200 biographies and photos of historic Redlands persons have been added. Interestingly, members of the public have also contributed photos and biographies of members of their families that lived in Redlands many years ago.<\/p>\n

The 350 Heritage Award citations can be accessed via the Society\u2019s Explorer <\/em>App which was first developed three years ago. The App can be used with your smart phone or your home computer. Photos and architectural descriptions of the historic homes can be accessed by this application.<\/p>\n

The Historic Timeline Story Map was first introduced in 2018. The Timeline has been steadily updated as Tom Atchley extracts historic information from Redlands\u2019 newspapers and his other research sources. Tom periodically forwards the revised Timeline text to Ben Parker who installs the information into the Timeline Story Map along with photos and maps. New historic basemaps have also been included which allow the public to see what Redlands looked like decades ago.<\/p>\n

It is the hope of the Society to provide the public 24\/7 access to as much historic material and content as possible.<\/p>\n
