As part of our 90th anniversary celebration this year (County Library opened July 1, 1922) join the MCL Photo Interest Group in documenting county life throughout the year.
We find in our archives an amazing lack of photo evidence of county life ca 1930-2000, something that will only get more so as we all abandon print for digital. The Morris 2012 project is to shoot all aspects of county life, photos to be displayed at the library in the fall; preserved in the library archives; and published in a book or two, for the MCL local history collection.
Send your photos--parades, festivals, historic sites, governing bodies (hopefully no more natural disasters?!), sports and recreation, whatever!--to morriscountylibrary@yahoo.com or drop them off at the reference desk. Caption if/as needed and include the photographer's name as you'd like it credited. Take your camera! be part of the Morris 2012 Project.

This is a great idea. A suggestion: If you had a public Flickr group (as opposed to the set you link to) it would make it much easier to submit photos.
ReplyDeleteYou got it... the Morris 2012 Project group. Thanks for the suggestion! look forward to your photos
ReplyDeleteSo these will be photos taken between now and say June of this year? What is the cut-off date for submitting photos?
ReplyDeleteWe'll take/collect photos right through the end of the year...but will probably mount an exhibit of what we have sometime in the fall. Online display, of course, is ongoing. Just asked Cty Office of Hispanic Affairs if they would share photos from tonight's Festival of the Three Kings in Dover, for example.
