This collection is currently being assembled, and we appreciate any input or material to include. The bulk of this collection comes from Kenneth King, who has been collecting memorabilia such as photographs and postcards relating to the battle and the contextual time period. In this, Kenny offers some rare and until now un-digitized images of the coalfields, with an emphasis on the area area Blair and Logan, during the early years of mining. These images are significant because of their aesthetic qualities as well as the information they convey about what life was like back then. We hope you find these useful and enjoyable.
