Biographical / Historical

The Scott County Historical Society received a grant which funded this project to photograph farmhouses and outbuildings that were built prior to 1950. Project coordinator was Kim Koster. Slides, prints and negatives [both black and white and color] are included along with inventories that provide some further detailed descriptions of the structures. Items were stored in tubs in the basement of Summit Church and were brought to Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center in April 2012. Items were removed from 3-ring binders and foldered.
