Member proposes town photo albums to preserve local history
Summary
A member volunteered to assemble themed photo albums (police, fire, town events) from collected photos and yearbooks; the commission agreed to collect photos from organizations and volunteers to support a public archive and displays.
A commission member proposed creating physical photo albums—by department and by year—to preserve local history and provide an easier way for residents and visitors to access historical images than scrolling through social media. The member described finding firefighter yearbooks and suggested collecting police and town photos to compile albums dated by year for display.
The chair and other members supported the idea and agreed to send existing photo collections and event images to the volunteer leading the project. The albums are intended for use in exhibits and permanent displays as the commission continues to build archival materials for a future museum.
