Littleton Historical Society Seeks
Photos for 300th Anniversary Book, and Archives
Be a contributor to Littleton’s
“photo album” of pictures showing how the town has grown and changed. The Historical Society invites residents
to share their pictures of the town’s people, places, and events – photos which
indicate the history of our community and its spirit. Photographs are needed
for the Historical Society’s Book to be published in 2014 for the town’s 300th
Anniversary, and to add to the coverage, quality and quantity of photographs in
its collection.
Once you have selected photographs to
share, please make a list of each photo on a piece of paper and identify, if
possible, the location, names of people, date when taken, and who took each
picture. You can bring the photos and your list to the Historical Society any
Wednesday afternoon from 1 to 4 PM (except the day before Thanksgiving, or on
the first and third Saturdays of the month from 10 AM to Noon. Photographs will
be scanned and returned to you. Owners will be asked to sign a release form for
the Society to use digital copies for possible inclusion in the 300th
Anniversary Book, and keep them in its collection. The original photos will be available
in about a week for owners to pick them up at the Society.
Help preserve the history of
Littleton by looking through family pictures and selecting those that show various
aspects of life in Littleton. Subject matter could include, but is not limited
to: typical daily life; unusual scenes, perhaps related to special events/weather,
other; WWI, WWII, Korean and Vietnam Wars, Iraq and Afghanistan Conflicts;
agriculture (past and present); town organizations; businesses; recreational
activities/events; individuals who have made an important contribution to the town.
The list goes on and on – limited only by your own imagination. For questions
or more information, please call the Society at 978-486-8202 or e-mail Littleton.HistSociety@verizon.net.
You may also contact Ann Himmelberger at 978-742-5960, or ahhimmelberger@verizon.net.
Thank you for providing the photos worth thousands of words
to show the history and spirit of Littleton.
