Glass Negative Collection
We have over 800 glass photographic negatives of the Mad River Valley from the 1870's to the 1900's that we have been restoring and cataloging. From them, we are having slides made for presentation at programs and to preserve the negatives from use. We are also starting a research library of books, local genealogies, and other materials about 19th century life helpful to our school children and the public.
80 of the slides from the glass negative collection have been made into a video slideshow with narration, which is on continuing exhibit at the Wait House.
(We are just beginning to upload the slideshow to this website, so please bear with us :-)
