“The bible of special occasions.”--Los Angeles Times 12,500 entries. 194 countries. 365 days. 50 years and counting! From his years as a newspaper librarian William D. Chase knew of the need for a single reference source for calendar dates and for authoritative and current information about various observances throughout the year. William and his brother, Harrison, decided to create such a reference themselves. They set to work collecting, compiling, verifying, editing and proofreading the events that would make up the first Chase's Calendar of Events. Fifty years later, Chase's Calendar of Events is still the most comprehensive and authoritative reference available on special events, holidays, federal and state observances, historic anniversaries and more.
