Monrovia’s City Council approved the funds to complete the education link in the three-step chain of the Monrovia Legacy Project: Education. The project is an attempt, as one local wag said, to “siphon Steve Baker’s brain.” Both Myron Hotchkiss, who was Monrovia’s first City Historian, and Steve Baker, its second, collected photos, mementos, documents, and just plain stuff related to Monrovia. The Legacy Project has worked for the last few years to catalog, digitize, and organize all these things.
Now they have completed those steps and have the collection available (as of yesterday) online at http://cityofmonrovia.pastperfectonline.com. The next step is educating the community of the availability of this information, and the sorts of information contained in the collection.
This is a sort of birthday present to Monrovia, a community that will celebrate the anniversary of its founding this weekend with its Monrovia Day Festival.
