I’m grateful to the Broomfield Historical Society and BOSS Printing for collaborating with me on the publication of “Broomfield Yesterday,” a new local history booklet! It contains excerpts from The Sweep Report 2.0: Housing from below in Broomfield, Colorado, USA, which I published in the spring of 2022 and explores often-untold chapters of Broomfield’s collective past, from the displacement of Native peoples to the U.S. settlement-development of our area up to the present.
My hope is that this booklet will prove helpful to teachers and students in Broomfield classrooms as well as area residents seeking a more complete understanding of local history. A few printed copies will soon be available at the Broomfield Library, and a small run of copies are available for purchase through the Broomfield Historical Society. See the direct booklet link to read or download the free digital version of the booklet.
