Did you know that Stewart Bell Jr. Archives has over 25,000 photographs housed in its collection? It’s true! These photographs represent a diverse look at our community and its people throughout the years. The oldest photographs date to the early years of mass photographic technology in the 1850s, and the latest photographs date to the 2020s. Within those one hundred and seventy years, a lot of local events, places, and people have been documented through photography.
Interested in learning about and seeing these old photos? If so, join us for Archives After Hours on Thursday April 17 @ 5:30 pm. Archives Manager Lorna Loring will lead a presentation showcasing highlights from our photography collection. Following the presentation, there will be a behind-the-scenes tour of the archives space.
