Christopher Busta-Peck

A colleague pointed out (thanks, M.H.) that the Cleveland Public Library home page acknowledged that one of its own librarians, Christopher Busta-Peck, has been doing some good work researching and promoting the preservation of Langston Hughes' home. Christopher has a blog, Cleveland Area History, which he co-authors with local writer Christine Borne, which is well worth subscribing to. I hope his identification of a home that Jessie Owens lived in might receive equally profitable results.

News, commentary, information and musings on the history of greater Cleveland and the Western Reserve region of Northeastern Ohio, particularly its bridges, railroads, maps and historic landmarks and events. Using new web-based technologies, such as GIS, to improve libraries' ability to increase access to local history. More recently I'm adding information on the arts, particularly outdoor sculpture.
