Abstract

The immediate goal of the Jennie Lynch research project is to access various legal and personal records currently archived in Anchorage and Juneau. The information attained from these records will be used along with information available in Ketchikan to construct a research article laying out the persons, events, timeline, outcome, and social-historical importance of the lengthy Jennie Lynch case. This article will be sent to Alaska History for peer review and publication, providing a foundation for expanded research on this topic.
