In order to save bandwidth for our forum, I regularly consolidate the notices regarding additions to our Photo and Document Library. This means that I keep new notices up for a period of 6 months (more or less) and then the posts are removed and their information added to an index of our library holdings. A few posts from this period may remain on the fourm if they contain additional information that was not archived to the library.
Everyone is welcome to contribute material to library files such as these, which can be expanded or revised. If you have contributions you wish to make to existing files, or new files created from your own research, just drop me a line at hpuppet@fronter.com
Remember, when you post something to our Photo & Document Library you retain the rights to your materials and they cannot be used anywhere else without your expressed permission.
Many thanks to our library's contributors and volunteers for this calendar period:
William “Bill” Gilliland
Nancy Canter Downard
