of Sublette County, Wyoming
Memories can fade, but photographs are able to preserve a moment in time forever. Many of these valuable photographs that document our history are held in private collections where only a small number of people ever get to see them. Even those held at the museums are difficult to access because only a few can be displayed and originals are often fragile and have to be protected from handling. By computerizing these images, entire collections can be made available to everyone via CD-ROMs and the internet. When time permits, a database providing context and descriptions about the photographs will be added as well as a search capability to make particular images easier to find. For now the photographs have to stand by themselves. They are grouped into collections reflecting the contributor. Some the collections are too large and have been seperated into albums. The back of many pictures were scanned because the notes often provides valuable descriptions. A link just below the picture on individual picture pages provides access to these back scans where available. Everyone has generously given access to their collections and many volunteers have made this project possible. The groundwork has now been laid to allow computerization of collections for years to come.
