Points of Reference and Exploration
I am deeply indebted to the Potlatch Historical Society, whose love of their town inspired this project and whose dedicated archiving efforts made it possible. For more information, take a tour of their museum inside the historic Potlatch train depot, explore their blog and website, or become a member of their society! Other archival sources are listed below.
