Old photographs found

July 13, 2009

While cleaning out a room in the museum, I found a shelf full of old photographs and negatives. Many of these photographs depicted local physicians and hospitals. I thought others might be interested in the images and decided that enlargements would be great decoration for the museum. I had 28 of the photographs scanned at a high resolution and then enlarged them to 11 x 14. They are now hanging in the library, conference room, and hallways of the museum. Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find:
