What People Say About Ed
Hear from historical society leaders who have worked with Ed
"The new CRHS archive site leaves the previous Omeka iteration in the dust. The dust of our archives has been shed by those who now can easily search and access our new site built by Ed. Ed's work and vision were key to making sure we could share our archives with so many which aligns with our mission and goals."
Brock Kerchner
President, Conrail Historical Society
"The Nickel Plate Road Historical & Technical Society's Archive that Ed built for us has allowed my staff and me to find photos we use in every issue of the quarterly Nickel Plate Road Magazine. Some features would not be practical to publish without the images available through our Archives. Being able to quickly find photos related to specific topics has helped us with every single issue since the site was launched."
Tony Koester
Editor, Nickel Plate Road Magazine, NKPHTS Publications Director

Ed is at the forefront of the future of this industry, and it cannot be overstated that any organization lucky enough to retain his services will reap dividends for decades to come. "
