Patrons use the 'Alphabetical' link in the HSF Quick Index to locate historical sites known by name or descriptive terms. 

6. What does the ‘Chronological’ section show me?

Patrons use the 'Chronological' link in the HSF Quick Index to locate historical sites known by the time or date the site was originally built.
