Artifact Spotlight: Processing Photo Collections

8/4/2018

One of the museum's ongoing projects is to digitize our existing photo collection. While it can be a tedious task, it is also incredibly interesting and entertaining.

​These photos allow us to glimpse back in time when things were different- but in some ways, are very much the same. Such as the dreaded class picture that, no matter what, someone is always ​looking the wrong way.
Picture
"George! This way! No! Regina, look over here!"
There are also photos that leave me with many questions that, due to the passage of time, may not ever be answered. 
Picture
They remind us of past fashion trends, such as boys wearing dresses from a young age.
Picture
They reveal the grandeur of the past... and the homes of people that provided much of the manpower needed to build California into the place it is today.
Picture
Eureka Courthouse
Picture
Chinatown, Eureka.
They remind us of what it's like to grow up, when times seem more simple and kids can be kids.
Picture
They show us things that have changed- and help us to see that some things have not.

These photos tell their own stories and keep their own secrets.
What do they say to you?
