Today the collection includes over 3000 scanned images and there are many more to go. These images are from the NCCHP and Historical Room collections, as well as hundreds of photos that were loaned and scanned from the personal collections of current and past Granville residents. The project preserves Granville's fascinating history and makes it available to anybody, anywhere, with internet access.
Along with photos and documents the collection includes amazing life stories and oral histories.
We hope you will visit the Granville History web site at https://granvillehistory.omeka.net/
When visiting the web site please be sure to make use of the search function. This will make it much simpler to find items. Or you can simply browse through the photos.
In addition to the web site we have created a Facebook page, which is at this link: https://www.facebook.com/GranvilleMAHistory Every Friday for the last 3+ years we have posted a special "Friday Flashback" photo. The "crowdsource" responses to the photos provide fascinating stories about the people and places in Granville's history.
Please visit the web site and enjoy the collection. If you have photos you are willing to loan for inclusion please email granvillehistory@cwmars.org We are particularly short on photos of people, events and places from the 1950's to the present.
