I know this is two Paul posts in a row, but I just write these things as I come across them in Google Reader. Paul Dorpat has been writing his Seattle Now and Then articles for 28 years, but there’s no great archive of all of them together. A bunch from the 80s have been published in book form, three volumes all together. And most of the ones from recent years are available at nwsource.com (Seattle Times). But now Paul himself, and his partner Jean, is working on publishing them on his own website, pauldorpat.com. He’s started a new section on the site where he will reprint the articles, show the photos in high res, and include even more pictures than just the two. Right now there are only five articles available, scattered choices from the last year. They promise they’ll be putting up more, although I doubt they’ll be able to publish the estimated 1,400 he’s written over the past three decades.
Good stuff all around, and the inspiration for my own Northern Nevada Then And Now.
