    Earlier this year the Sussex-Lisbon Area Historical
Society, Inc., decided to rename its museum from the Fred H. Keller Histor
y Museum to the Sussex-Lisbon Area Historium. Before we had done this we we
re in the process of updating our website from the old Microsoft FrontPage
software to one using WordPress called http://www.kellerhistorymuseum.org;
now of course we had to rename the newer website to a different name.
    We rebranded the website mentioned above to become
the Sussex-Lisbon Area Historium or, www.slah.online, while http://www.slah
s.org/Â our original site built with Microsoft FrontPage in Dec 2002 i
s still up and running!
  It's one thing to pick out a new name, another to find a corr
esponding website domain name to go with it!
  We still have a lot of work to bring all of the material from
the old site to the new one; it's like mashing apples to make orange juice
. With over a thousand posts, formerly articles, and another 1,000 images,
everything did not transfer all that well.
  Word of advice, if your website is using old technology softw
are, convert to the latest and best you can afford as soon as you can!
  Right now, I don't know how long our old hosting company will
continue hosting our old website.
  I envy those of you who have only recently been building your
own websites.

Greetings,
We hope your preparations for the upcoming season have gone well, or are go
ing well.Â
Mr. Ryan Smazal, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring i
n History and political science is partnering in a research project with th
e Maritime Preservation and Archaeology Program at the Society.Â
Ryan received a WISCIENCE Entering Research Summer Program scholarship to b
roaden his research experience in the STEM curriculum (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Math). Ryan will be collecting information on and compl
eting a comparative analysis of a sample of Wisconsin's dugout canoes.Â
In additional to the documentation of each craft and the collection of
archival information on the dugouts, he will create 3D photogrammatic and e
stimate differences in buoyancy characteristics and cargo capacity. D
ugouts were one of the first watercraft to be guided across Wisconsinâ€
™s waterway and were still being made in the early twentieth century.Â
We are requesting your help.
Do you have:
-a dugout canoe in your collection?
-a partial dugout canoe in your collection?
-or information on a dugout canoe, or dugout canoes in the form of a newspa
per articles, photographs, books, or models?Â
If you have any information that you think would be helpful, please contact
me at me at john.broihahn@wisconsinhistory.org.Â
Your help is much appreciated.
