It is time to go digging in the attic for that letter or document that you think could be something important, because The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is having a contest to find documents of local historical importance to be digitized for the virtual library.

History Detectives
Thursday, September 18 at 10pm
On another all new-episode of History Detectives, travel with host Gwendolyn Wright to the Oregon Coast where cannons from the 1846 shipwreck of the USS Shark have been uncovered. The detectives then visit a man in Connecticut who owns a home that has an interesting story to tell; the farm had six different owners between 1891 and 1906, with all the residents being of Eastern European descent. The episode concludes with a painting owned by a Kansas man which he believes is the work of Kahlil Gibran, a well known Lebanese-American poet. |

Nature: Raptor Force
Sunday, September 21 at 8pm
Armed with powerful beaks and razor-sharp talons, raptors are nature's elite killing force - winged predators whose graceful beauty belies their stunning speed, acrobatics and precision. Dramatic original footage from cameras mounted on their wings and ankles shows why falcons, owls, eagles and hawks are masters of the sky. |

P.O.V.: Calavera Highway
Sunday, September 21 at 11pm
When brothers Armando and Carlos Peña set off to carry their mother's ashes to south Texas, their road trip turns into a quest for answers about a strangely veiled past. As they reunite with five other brothers, the two men try to piece together their family's shattered history. Why was their mother cast out by her family? What happened to their father, who disappeared during the notorious 1954 U.S. deportation program Operation Wetback? ''Calavera Highway'' is a sweeping story of seven Mexican-American men grappling with the meaning of masculinity, fatherhood and a legacy of rootless beginnings. |

Antiques Roadshow
Monday, September 22 at 8pm
This week, the Roadshow crew continues their search for fabulous finds in Mobile, Alabama. On this installment, host Mark Walberg and appraiser Don Cresswell visit the Audubon Bird Society to take a look at why collectors take such an interest in bird prints, particularly the work of James Audubon. Then, at the Arthur R. Outlaw Convention Center, the crew comes across a 1969 football jersey worn by former Chicago Bear Gayle Sayers, a side chair that is believed to appear in the Lincoln White House and a rare trio of books containing lithographs of American Indian Chiefs. |

American Experience: Ronald Reagan
Monday, September 22 at 9pm
In 1989, after two terms in office, Ronald Wilson Reagan left the White House one of the most popular presidents of the 20th century - and one of the most controversial. When his Hollywood career began to wane, Reagan turned to politics. One by one, his opponents underestimated him; one by one, Reagan surprised them, rising to become a president who always preferred to see America as a ''shining city on a hill.''
