Title

People of Wilmington Collection

Description

These photographs were originally loose and decaying in the Wilmington Subject Files boxes, and our archivists believed they deserved their own collection. Taken from various folders that were only labeled as “Unidentified People and Events” (no numbered folders, no context, no ascension record), they were then processed into an arrangement and put in archival-quality plastic pockets to protect the photos. The Wilmington Historical Society is asking for your help identifying the people and events in these photos, as well as any context. Please contact us in the comments below if you have more information!
