There are nearly countless (okay actually it’s kind of our job to count them, but it’s a figure of speech) wonderful photos in the archives. On this page you can find a selection from the various collections found in the annals of the archives.
On the first of every month a selection from a new collection will be made available for you digital viewing pleasure.
The following are a selection from the Betty Smith Collection, mostly images from the early 1900s, depicting early marine infrastructure, island farm life, and fancy dress.
Thank you to Betty Smith and family for these fascinating images.
If you would like to see a larger version of the images in the carousel simply click on it. If you would like to stop the carousel from moving so you can read the caption, please hover your mouse cursor over the image.
The captions are from the comments of each donated photograph, often from something written on the back of the picture.
If you would like to make an appointment to see these images in person, or get a full quality digital copy of one of them, send an email to [email protected] with your request.
