Harvard in 2007: a photo history


The Harvard Historical Society is planning a December photography show depicting the essence of life in Harvard in 2007, the 275 anniversary of the town of Harvard.


We are inviting everyone, all ages, to share pictures and stories with the Society for inclusion in the show. The photographs may be color, black and white, or digitally enhanced. A selection of 20 photographs will be enlarged, printed by the giclee method, and framed by the Historical Society. These reproductions will be offered for sale during the show to support the Society’s operations.
The Society would like to keep a copy of each picture with a description and story to go with it to create a synopsis of life in Harvard in 2007 for future generations. Pictures may be of anything that says "2007" to you. People, places, events, whatever.

How about the pond drawdown from the beach, the fourth of July parade, the opening of the new library?


The deadline for submitting pictures is November 15, 2007.
Call the Historical Society at 978-456-8285 or email to curator@harvardhistory.org
