Yes!! Famous or not, our historical society has many old photos of local people that are IDENTIFIED. I can't count the number that has been accepted for accession in the past. Sure it documents clothing but who are the people?? We also have vintage sewing machines, dishes, toys, clothing....all the items have a local connection. Don't throw, ask first!

I found a picture of one of my late DH's first cousins. Am saving it for our next blood drive at Stanislaus State, because cousin was its first president. I don't want it, kids didn't know him.
Funny looking guy at his graduation, looked a lot like Data in Star Treck. Took me a long time to figure that one out. Now if I can only put it somewhere so I can remember it on that day....
And have pictures of DH's Dad, who started his business here in 1911 and it lasted till 1999. So off that picture goes to the museum. Kids don't want it. Gkds don't either.
