This web quest is a supplemental page that engages chapter historians on a lay level.  It is suspected that the web quest will take a minimum of three hours to complete.  

The expectation is that calls or e-mails will be required to contact local members on chapter history.  It is expected that the historians will record or document their information on paper and transfer it to the web quest matrix via the District Historian.  It is expected that chapter historians will confirm all information for accuracy.  
He must be aware that members in the fraternity will be able to corroborate correct and incorrect facts. It is prudent that the chapter historian verify all information submitted on behalf of his chapter.

If there are questions, the historian may contact the district historian at:  [email protected].

The District Historian is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Incorporated. He has served as a journalist in written media, most of his life.  His current role as the Ohio District Historian is relatively recent from his transition as webmaster and blogger under Dr, Willis Lonzer's administration.  The District Historian is mentored of Bro. Donald L. Ross, Alpha's Midwest Regional Historian.
