Official Headquarters

[Smithsonia]

We had this topic come up once or twice. Now the official word on the various Official CAP Headquarters has been researched by Col. Blascovich. He has posted the information
on the TeamCAP Scribd site. SEE HERE:

Outstanding work :clap: :clap: :clap: Thank you very much for your efforts.

Locally, I've been working at a snails pace  to try to form are squadron history from the start.  I even asked a local well known & respected historian for assistance, and he told me that many volunteer organizations didn't keep much records and he would try but if I didn't hear from him, it meant he didn't find anything.   Unfortunately I never heard from him 

Perhaps next month as the Unit PAO I will issue a news release attempting to get historic information (My squadron commander & I have already discussed this numerous times, on our history).

I'm wondering what would be a simple but effective method(s) at the squadron to preserve our history going forward

You might also check with your Wing Historian. He may have records or files stored away that might be helpful to you. He may have Wing orders or newsletters from 19XX that lists Squadron activity, Commanders etc.

regarding squadron histories. Mark Hess at Team Cap is working on about 2500 squadron histories from 1941-1975 with a publication date of later this year... perhaps within a few months.

Ed,
   Can you send me the contact information so that I may send to Mark my squadron's history.

RM,
Look to old News Paper archives to find information on your squadron. I was able to find out the month and year that my squadron was formed from old news paper articles. I also was able to find a lot of information on the squadron's activities as well.
