UPDATE: Museum Archives Collection Policy & Mission Statement (approved by JCM Board, 2020)
About this SectionThe Collection section of this website is a work in progress. In 2020, the museum plans to inventory (and scan) our extensive collection of photographs. We'll be adding categories and photos as inventory progresses.
We're striving to ensure that photos displayed on this site include relevant details (i.e., town, date, provenance and donor). The number of photos that currently meet this criteria are very limited. The majority of our photos with easily accessible information or credits are related to North Jefferson County. (Many are from the Robert Marks Collection.) This explains the inordinate amount of photos from the Clancy area displayed on this site for the 2020 launch. As inventory is completed, we'll incorporate photos representing more geographic areas.
In the meantime, we're asking site visitors to share relevant information about our photos (and Jefferson County history). We'll also focus on providing details about our documents and artifacts, which were inventoried in 2019. (More Inventory Updates Below)

Categories in this SectionWe plan to create sub-pages for each major town/geographic area of the county. Some of our larger collections (like mining & railroads) will also have their own designated page.
Site visitors will be able to view these categories via the main Collection menu (top of website). Check this page for updates and links. (Category buttons below-many aren't live yet.) |
