I'm glad to see you highlight the cemetery - I enjoy the annual tour.  BUT, your cute turn of phrase is NOT TRUE.  You of all people should know better!  Folks in Anchorage, and most of Alaska take history very seriously.  UAA Archives and Special Collections <https://archives.consortiumlibrary.org/>  holds many collections given (gifted) by members of the Anchorage community.   The Anchorage Museum Archive also holds collections donated by locals <https://www.anchoragemuseum.org/collections/archives/>.  The Alaska Collection at Loussac Library holds unique material about Anchorage and Alaska too <https://www.muni.org/Departments/library/Pages/Alaskana.aspx>.  Then of course there are those interested in our history who are members of Cook Inlet Historical Society <http://www.cookinlethistory.org/>.
