About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Some googling for Indian Orchard Mills will turn up some interesting new tenants in the old mill. Including a photography studio with some current photos of the mill area mixed in with the many aspiring models.
