href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/delmarvahistory?ref=hl\">Delmarva History Facebook <\/a>(FB) page launched on October 24, 2013, the number of likes has grown steadily, the pace accelerating as the website matured.&nbsp; And when we surfed over to update the curated newsfeeds on this Wednesday morning in early February, we noted the landing page had passed an important milestone, 1,500 likes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks everyone for liking, sharing, and conversing about on the Delmarva&#8217;s past on this FB page.&nbsp; It\u2019s been amazing to see the quick growth as we networked with older, more established formal and informal groups, while also&nbsp;adding our original content, photos, articles, and brief updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We always looked forward to sharing our interest in the Peninsula\u2019s unique cultural heritage with a large, regional community, a virtual&nbsp;group&nbsp;of individuals who also valued the subject matter.&nbsp; Using&nbsp;the web as a way to distribute our work and our enchantment with the past, we were an early adopter.&nbsp; That began&nbsp;about 1996 while&nbsp;supporting a local historical society\u2019s outreach in&nbsp;a once modern way beyond traditional print products.&nbsp; We advanced as <a href=\"https:\/\/delmarvahistory.wordpress.com\/2014\/11\/19\/sharing-delmarvas-past\/\">web 2.0 platforms such as blogs<\/a> made&nbsp;dynamic networking easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we were a little slow to catch on to the efficiencies and effectiveness of FB for creating an audience, exchanging information, and enriching a community.&nbsp; Still, after following a number of established regional&nbsp;pages, from formal and informal groups (some highly specialized, while others focused broadly on an area), and being encouraged to start one, we gave it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the way to network and engage ever broader audiences in line with some purpose and mission.&nbsp; Whether, as a cultural resource institution holding the community\u2019s heritage or as an individual digitally working on the \u201cbottom-up model\u201d we are all able to more universally share the narratives of earlier times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platforms allow us transform how we grant access to our materials, making our work more valued and our institutions more vibrant places, while learning, exploring, and engaging new, broader audience.&nbsp; They are also idea for collective learning, for there is enormous power&nbsp;of the crowd when it comes to conversations and exchanging information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With digital just beginning to provide greater access to people, the transformation is in its early phase, the technologies making it simpler and simpler with each passing year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission of our regional FB website, as we stated in the autumn of 2103, is unchanged, the sharing of heritage related content about the Delmarva Peninsula and the land around the Delaware and Chesapeake. &nbsp;&nbsp;Our site&nbsp;contains original and curated stories from an array of sources, helping readers and us discover the fascinating past on Delmarva and the nearby region, while everyone learns as a virtual community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always enjoyed seeking out the narratives that create a distinctive sense of place, the rich, deep, and varied stories about earlier times in our fascinating small towns, from the Delaware River and Bay to Western Maryland, and the heritage that connects communities and families to their roots .&nbsp; That is what I enjoy digging up and sharing here and FB has helped significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing is encouraged, too.&nbsp; Many other institutional FB pages, groups, and individuals are generous with their materials, and we encourage sharing of our original items, too.&nbsp; But please credit your source, wherever you get it from.&nbsp; That is something we always work to do on our end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Some Links of Interest<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Journalist Jim McClure writes a popular York County PA heritage blog we follow, as a content provider&nbsp;for the newspaper&#8217;s blog and other&nbsp;products.&nbsp; He has blogged a couple of times about how things are changing in the digital age for heritage institutions.&nbsp; We&#8217;ve shared them with some of the institutions we work with and are sharing the links here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part III &#8211; <a
