Producing this index of posts was inspired by Stephen Gardiner's well-organized blog. I trust you'll find it ueful if researching a prototype location, industry, event or era. The Model section lists posts in which I model a building, location or facet of operation. The Update section includes ancillary posts - research, walking tours or other resources.
