 Welcome to the History Lab Online Activity Center!
My name's Inspecta Detecta. I work for the Washington State Historical Society, solving the mysteries surrounding artifacts, people, and ephemera of the past. I have been logging artifacts and ephemera into our searchable online Artifact Database, which could be a helpful tool in completing some of these activities. Choose an activity at right to test your mystery-solving ability.
