"Critics are by no means the end of the law. Do not think all is over with you because you articles are rejected. It may be that the editor has his drawer full, or that he does not know enough to appreciate you, or you have not gained a reputation, or he is not in a mood to be pleased. A critic's judgment is like that of any intelligent person. If he has experience, he is capable of judging whether a book will sell. That is all."

—Lavina Goodell Junior editor, Harper's Bazaar

The archives of Baker County Library contain over 10,000 items including historic photographs and photo negatives. This online resource contains over 6,000 digitized records of those images.

This archive is dedicated to the memory of Pearl Hayden Jones, Grace Lewis, & Dorothy York, three dedicated volunteers who worked on this photo collection for many years. It is maintained by Gary Dielman, local author, historian, and volunteer curator/archivist of the Baker County Library's historic photo collection for over twenty years.

HOW TO HELP:  If you have historic photos of Baker County, please consider helping to preserve and share the rich history of our region by contacting us to arrange a loan or gift of the items for inclusion in the county library archive.  Monetary contributions help provide archival supplies and are also gratefully received.  Volunteers may also be needed to help index or digitize items for the archive. 

Thank you for your support!
