Welcome
Welcome to the Reardan History wiki. This is a place to collect and share stories and photos about Reardan, a small farming town in eastern Washington state. The main collection of historical photographs is from holdings at the Reardan Memorial Library, the Lincoln County Historical Society, and a collection of photographs of Dan Plaster, a local photographer, and other photographs found on the Internet.
Contributing -- Respect Your Neighbors
For now, this is an open wiki so that anyone can add their stories to allow more sharing. With this power goes that anyone can also edit what you post. This allows others to correct typographical errors or to provide other perspectives on a story. The main general rule is to respect your neighbors. This is not a place for current political discussions or to entertain gossip. Some stories may involve the discussion of past politics, but again, be as factual as possible, try not to promote an ideology, and respect your neighbors.
This website is run as a benevolent dictatorship; administrators have the final word about disagreements and may elect to block individuals or persons from future contributing. It is hoped and expected that we can all place nicely and build this site together.
Sharing
This website wants to encourage sharing of contributions. That means that what you post can be used for others, as long as it is not commercial and they attribute where they got the material. You should not post copyrighted material without the written permission of the copyright holder.
