Stories Wanted!  Let the Detectives unlock your history mysteries!   History Detectives is a PBS series about the discovery, documentation and preservation of historic American artifacts. We are seeking story submissions for our sixth (and hopefull seventh) season.


  Please tell us about an item, or piece of military gear, that you think may have played a starring role, or was just along for the ride, in yesterday’s newsworthy people, places or events:  blackouts or boycotts, inaugurations or integration, rockabilly or rap, Hollywood or the Hindenburg, and so on!   Past objects that our viewers have contributed include a  WWI divisional flag, Goering’s Gun, a Koranic schoolbook, an Anti-Slavery Flag, Jean Lafitte's Spyglass and a Superman sketch.   Please email me a description of your object and include the key facts you already know, and what you hope to learn from our investigation. The information you provide will be used for production research purposes only. We will contact you if we are interested in learning more about your story.   Please submit questions or story ideas to:  lindsay.carswell@liontv.us   http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/     History Detectives is a co-production of Lion Television and Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Thanks, Lindsay
