The Smoky Mountain Sentinel, way out in Hayesville, North Carolina (or perhaps we're way out from it) has started a Wiki to chronicle the history of Clay County, North Carolina. It's hosted at http://smsentinel.wiki.zoho.com/HomePage.html.
A Wiki is an online way for many visitors to edit a Web site at the same time, though not all Wikis are that open. The Smoky Mountain Sentinel is inviting the residents of Clay County to help edit the new resource.
What's on the Wiki thus far? Sports records, a list of service and civic organizations, newspaper information, and a list of servicemen killed in military conflicts. You can get a full list of available Wiki pages at http://smsentinel.wiki.zoho.com/sitemap.zhtml .
This isn't all the Smoky Mountain Sentinel is doing to document the county. There's also a huge map at http://www.smokymountainsentinel.com/Common/claymap.html This map has dozens and dozens of points listed and documented with photographs, from restaurants to the courthouse to the Clay County School Bus Garage.
Terrific job Smoky Mountain Sentinel!
