Description
J. Candace Clifford
From the time it was founded in 1984, the United States Lighthouse Society has maintained an Archive of lighthouse data including photos, documents, and many other items pertaining to lighthouses, lightships, and related subjects. Starting in 2016, J. Candace Clifford, the Society’s Historian, and Tom Tag, the Society’s Technical Advisor, began researching ways of making the Archive more easily accessible to the public. Their work culminated in a database that is now on the U.S. Lighthouse Society’s website as the J. Candace Clifford Lighthouse Research Catalog.
The National Archives
Among the major components of the lighthouse research catalog is the lighthouse-related collection of the National Archives. Many of the photos and other items from the National Archives have been added to the Society’s research catalog. The National Archives and Records Administration is the primary repository in our country for lighthouse records.
