Digitized Photographs

About

The genealogy staff provides the Digitized Photographs as a convenient way to obtain the library's full archive of genealogy photos online. This archive is a digital collection of historical photos containing subjects relevant to the Camargo Township District and surrounding area.

Digitizing Process

These photos are digitized by our staff using photograph scanners at 300 DPI, and then processed into 100% quality JPEGs (lossy compression) for the web  and our in-house archive.

Access

These collections can be accessed anytime on the internet by viewing the URLs listed on this page, the genealogy computer at the library, and by contact via email.

• Leland Baird Et Al. Collection
