Our collections include family photos, portraits, business, farm, landscape and house photos from all of Washington County. We may have photographs of your historic building or distant relatives!

     In keeping with the Society’s mission to further education on the history of Washington County, we are happy to offer a photographic reproduction service of images in our collections.

Several local business are already using enlargements from the Society’s collections to enhance the hometown feel of their office.  Historic images of your historic building, past business with similar functions and general scenes of the area are all a great way to bring a community feel to your public space and provide a talking point for visitors.

     Reproductions of photographs from our collections also make a great addition to a wall of family photos in your home or as a supplement to your scrapbook. Just place your order and in a few days you will have a treasured memory suitable for framing.

     Reproductions are created on a professional quality photo printer. We do both 8.5 x 11 and 11 x 17 inch sizes in house and have a turn around time of about a week. Larger sizes are professionally printed by a local company who also offers custom framing and matting choices.

     Copies of the photographs are arranged in patron accessible binders by geographic area for easy viewing and are also searchable by keywords. Patrons are welcome to browse the photos during the Research Center’s open hours Wednesday-Friday 11am-5pm and Saturday 9am-1pm.

We encourage all of the public to stop by our Research Center and check out our resources. Spend a few minutes browsing though our photos and you too will be entranced by views of the past.
