Cool, so, remind me how it works?

You submit questions that could be the topic of a great Chattanooga history story. We take the submissions, let readers vote on their favorite, and then we find the answer using only library materials — books and other resources from the third floor. Read more background here.

My lovely co-editor Trista had the first installment about the pioneering lawyers who defended Ed Johnson, who was ultimately lynched on the Walnut Street bridge.

Let’s talk women’s history

You’re welcome to submit a question on any Chattanooga-history-related topic, but March is Women’s History Month. My minor at UTC was women’s studies, and I would love to learn something new about Chattanooga women trailblazers. So, give me your best questions on this topic if you’ve got them. 👇
