Scratching the Surface

Scratching the Surface: 1675-1975, 300 Years of Wyoming Valley History
By Clark Switzer

“Given the vast, deep, and rich past of our area, this project is a limited view our history.  Originally created for students, we hope that the information will inspire others to broaden and deepen the search for the stories of people, places, and events from our region that have influenced our lives.

We encourage you to visit our libraries, historical societies, and ask our local historians for more information.  We leave it to your imagination as to how to present what you find so that all may be enriched.  An online book with the same title as this video is also available.  It contains links and more information about our local area.  It is found at the website: ourhistoryinitiative.org.

Dedicated to our local history authors who spend countless hours in research and writing for the love of the past and its presentation to the future.

Running time: 112 minutes
