The Historic Images subseries (7.7 GB, 1860s-2010s) includes images of photographs and postcards as well as documents such as newspaper clippings and marriage or baptismal certificates. Photographs and postcards depict individuals and groups, structures, animals, the land, and other subjects such as ships and trains related to the history of the region and its inhabitants. The original items date from the mid-nineteenth century through the early twenty-first with the bulk dating from the first half of the twentieth century. Images are arranged geographically by region and area, and then by family, farm, or subject. In some cases both original and edited versions of images are included.
