The Hyde Park Neighborhood History Collaborative.
A searchable collection of 520 images that highlights the historic people and places of Hyde Park. This collection of scanned photographs includes a number of handwritten biographies and histories that were written on the back of the photos. We are slowly recreating these texts so that they can more easily be read and searched. If you would like to volunteer to help in this effort, please email info@hydeparkhistoricalsociety.org
