The City of Seattle is about to celebrate the 25 year anniversary of the “Seattle Municipal Archives”.
A blog entitled DorpatSherrardLomont (the names of the 3 contributors) talks about it in today’s post.
I’ll not go into any detail, other than to show you these two photos.. of the 1936 archives, and of today’s Municipal Archives.
Have a look at the blog entitled Seattle Now & Then: City Achieves Silver Anniversary here.. and also the Seattle Municipal archives here.
I am sure the large cities and counties have impressive archives, full of Ephemera. I wonder what the small towns, villages and municipalities are doing to preserve their materials? If you have any information on YOUR locale, how about sharing it with us here?
Oh, and if you are in Seattle this Tuesday, stop over at the Bertha Knight Landes Room at City Hall… it will be a fun event I am sure.
By the way, scroll down on the DorpatSherrardLomont blog… they have lots of other Ephemeral item worth looking at.
I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the Encore it deserves.
Have a look at my eBay Ephemera store
or at my Bonanzle Booth
or at my Zen Cart
I’ve even got an eBay Auction site for collectibles
