We are currently researching stories for the Sixth Season of PBS’ History Detectives - a prime-time series about the discovery, documentation and preservation of historic American artifacts. For more info on the show, visit our website: http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/. Sincerely,
If you or anyone you know has a scientific instrument that may have played a key part in American history and you need our detectives to get answers, please tell us your story and join the thousands who have already put us to the test! Past objects that our viewers have contributed include Goering’s Gun, a Koranic schoolbook, an Anti-Slavery Flag, Jean Lafitte's Spyglass and a Superman sketch.
Kindly, email us a description of your artifact (digital photos are always helpful) and include the key details you already know as well as those you would like for us to find out. Questions and story ideas can be submitted to elizabeteg@liontv.us
Please also include your name, address and contact information. We will contact you if we are interested in learning more about your mystery. Our research will continue through 2008, so if anything comes up in the future please let us know.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you!
