Capturing Carmel in Historic Photographs

Looking for the Digitization Workshop? Register here: http://digitizingphotocollections.eventbrite.com/

Carmel-area residents are invited to this free slide presentation highlighting some of the nearly 1,000 photographs recently scanned and cataloged by the Carmel Clay Historical Society. CCHS director Katherine Dill will showcase images dating from the Civil War to the present, contrasting the images with what is on the site today.

Private donations and grants have enabled the Society to make their visual collections accessible online and we encourage the public to help identify mystery images and to loan photographs of family houses, businesses, farms, churches, schools, and prominent residents. Contact the Carmel Clay Historical Society if you have images of Carmel and Clay Township to share. We can copy the images while you wait (appointment required).

Sponsors: The program is part of the Photograph Preservation Workshop Series sponsored by the Carmel Clay Historical Society, the Carmel Clay Historical Society, and Heritage Photo & Research Services. Funding was provided through a matching grant from Indiana Humanities in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Humanities. Additional funding provided by the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
