This site was created to visually share the area's local history with
the people of the area. The photographs have been assembled by Bud Olson from every
imaginable source; pioneer families' treasured pictures, discarded
photo albums found in attics, P.G.&E. and Edison Company
archives, valley historical societies' files, glass plates found in
barns and antique sales, school yearbooks, and newspaper files. Many
generous people have loaned their photos to be copied and be shared
with the community. The entire collection is the property of the
Eastern Fresno County Historical Society and is available to the
public for research. As of Nov. 2001, about 1/5 of the
collection is available on the Internet. This is an on going project
and many parts remain in progress. Check back often to see the site
as it develops.
The pictures are sorted by category, with Elementary Schools, Sierra High School, Auberry and Prather area, and Tollhouse area included. At this point, we do not have a search engine in place for the site. We hope to add one soon. Also, several categories remain to be added. These include Auberry Road, Millerton and Friant, Tollhouse Road and Academy, Burrough and Watts Valleys, Kings River, Shaver Lake , Big Creek and Huntington, Logging, Flumes and Mills, Wagons, Motor Vehicles, S.J.&E. Railroad, Indians, and Pioneer People. The Sierra Unified School District supplied some funds to get this project started and the Eastern Fresno County Historical Society has taken over and continues to update the work. Thanks to all picture donors and the school district for their efforts. If you have historical information to add to this site or questions of any kind please direct it to the historical society through Bud Olson, 559-855-8874. Thank you, enjoy your local history. |
