 I started keeping notes about people important in Yukon history when I first came to the Yukon in the mid-1970s. I had a history degree, but my knowledge of Yukon history was almost non-existent. There was no time constraint on the entries as the people around me were as fascinating as the historic ones. The Yukon was changing fast in the 1970s and ‘80s – and it hasn’t stopped.
-I read a lot in my jobs and contracts over the years and every time I come across an interesting event, I make a note of the names of those involved. I think it is clear in the Yukon that a determined person can make big changes. The more useful my database became the more I became addicted to adding more names. The wiki entries are now approaching 3,500.

 Yukon has a wealth of sources for information about Yukon history including books, newspaper articles and series, magazines, and internet pages and sites. I will single out Murray Lundberg and the amazing crew that supports and grows the //ExploreNorth// website, and Sam Holloway and Dianne Green for their //Yukon Reader// and //Yukoner Magazine//. And of course, our very own treasure house, the Yukon Archives.
