In the column, "Seeking Out Images for Your Family History", Juliana Smith mentioned places to look for pictures to add to your family history. I'd like to add one more.

Don't overlook the bookstore. Some publishers, including Arcadia Publishing, are putting together books of photos showing the history of small towns around the country. I found one for Salem, Ohio, where most of my father's family lived, as well as other towns, in the "Local Interest" section of a large chain bookstore in the area. It contained pictures from the earliest to relatively recent on many aspects of town life.
