To participate in sharing the history of a community and an industry that is disappearing with the world at large is one thing, but to share it WITH that community, benefiting from its input via blog software, is especially exciting.

This tremendously popular digital project has been possible using open source software called Scriblio, which was created by our library's information architect, Casey Bisson; the ongoing outreach efforts of Alice Staples, Special Collections and Archives librarian, and Susan Jaroz, her Library Associate; and the dedicated technical processing of the photographs by Dr. Charles E. Brown. Kudoes to such a great staff!
