The photos on this page were obtained in a variety of ways. Some of them are ones I personally own, some were obtained from EBay, and some were obtained from town archives, friends, and some have been donated by visitors to this site. Image quality ranges from excellent to marginal. Images that are smaller and/or of lower quality are ones I do not have originals for. Such images are included as they are better than nothing at all. Photo credits are given for photos where I know who the photographer was. Many of the images are 50 to 100+ years old so most of the photographers remain largely unknown.
I grew up in Wilbraham so I don't have as much history of the surrounding towns. If you can fill in some of the blanks on the information regariding the photos that would be great! If you want to contribute please
e-mail me. Credits will be given for contributions (or if you want to remain anonymous that is no problem either).
It is possible (because of system memory limitations) that not all of the photos will automatically load. I have verified that all the photos are uploaded. If you are having problems, here's how to force a photo to show: place your cursor over the "blank" picture and right click the mouse. Then click "show picture". This should fix the problem. If problems persist, please e-mail me.
