Can you help us identify these photos? Do you recognize the people or location? how about the clothing, does it tell you the time period the photo may have been taken? If there is any equipment or tools in the photo, do you know its name, date, manufacture, or what it was used for? Can you talk about any of the activities depicted in the photos? (note: Captions below photos are what we found written on the original paper photo for reference. Any captions with a * denote comments from our website viewers and others helping to identify the photos) To comment on the photos you may have identified just click on that photo and in the bottom right hand corner there should be a ”text box” click on the text box and write your comment there, your comment may not show immediately as they have to be approved by one of our administrators first. You will probably have to register for our site to comment on the photos. We do this to prevent any inappropriate comments from internet trolls from slipping thru and also to ensure our administrators are notified of all new comments so we can label the photos (electronic and paper version) correctly as comments come in.
Another way to contact us: Just drop us an email or message by using our contact button on the main menu above, or come see us at the Gilmer county Senior Center in Glenville on any Wednesday between 11-1pm, or the historical society building also on Wednesday between 11-3pm … so we can add your very important and helpful information to our historical photo collections from Gilmer county. We will be adding new photos to this site every week from our paper files until they are all online, and hopefully identified, so stop by often!
