Please join us at 1pm on Jan 10 when we begin celebrating our nation's 250th birthday. Our first discussion covers St Augustine. Charles Tingley, Senior Research Librarian at the St Augustine Historical Society, will join us in person to talk about "East Florida and the American Revolution". He will broadly talk about St. Augustine during the British Period and the role it played in the American Revolution. There were more than 13 British colonies in North America. The impact of those Loyalist colonies in modern Canada, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and East and West Florida is often overlooked. Before, during, and after the war large population shifts reconfigure the genealogy on North Americans.
Mr. Tingley has worked for the St. Augustine Historical Society Research Library since 1994. He is currently the Research Historian. In addition to his work at the historical society’s library (founded 1883), Mr. Tingley has taken part in documentaries for the BBC, French National Television, PBS, and the Golf Channel. His tour, "The Oldest House in the Oldest City" on YouTube has over 500K views. In 2013, several of Mr. Tingley’s, architectural photographs were published by the University of Florida Press in "Heart and Soul: Sacred Sites and Historic Architecture" by Elsbeth Gordon. The Winter 2016 issue of the "Florida Historical Quarterly" contains an article by Mr. Tingley on Alexander H. Darnes, Florida’s first black physician. The January 2024 issue of "Smithsonian Magazine" featured Mr. Tingley’s research on Dr. Darnes. In 2023, Mr. Tingley edited a cookbook of historic recipes entitled Shrimply Delightful. Charles is also a longtime member of the St. Augustine Genealogical Society!
