These first few weeks of this semester I am finishing up my time here at CLIR CCEPS. This experience has taught me so much and has shaped how I think about local history. The Inland Empire is such a unique place and has experienced more than a few waves of change. It has been so rewarding to not only learn more about the place that I have spent the last three and a half years, but it has also been rewarding to learn the skills required to preserve historical documents in the digital age. There is one thing I will not miss, however: the computers. I have been at war with each of the computers here at CLIR CCEPS and I have most definitely lost to them. Despite the technological frustrations, I have grown and learned so much here. I also would like to say thank you to Tanya for supporting me and teaching me so much. Thanks for reading!
