Welcome to the Archive portion of our website. 

 

Collecting pictures from the past has mostly been easy as we are fortunate to have some longtime residents as members in our society.  Others in the community were proud to forward their valuable paper photos covering either personal recollections or what previous generations had left them – often accompanied in spirit by a story or two.  Sometimes quite factual but often embellished just to keep it alive.  We can be a bit flexible but will follow the boundaries of our policies as covered on our Home Page. 

​

But what do we do with these precious treasures of the past to preserve them for next generations, as well as certainly share them for all?  That is what has driven us to build this functionality here.  It is a long process, and being volunteers we all have other interests and likely priorities, so be patient with our progress.  We are keen and often optimistic.   

​

So, if you would like to join us in our efforts and extend our collection with pictures or possibly documents of your own, we welcome that.  (Electronic format makes things easier for us but we can certainly scan prints, in which case we could return the originals to you if you wish.)

 

But sometimes what is more valuable to us is that story that goes with the image.  We are hoping to capture those here as well.  Also, many of the pictures that we already have, we know little about; what the true subject is, the approximate year it was taken, or anything else of interest.  We hope you can help there with anything that you see.  Click our “Contact” page to reach us.
