The Historical Society is looking for pictures of people and places in Lawrence County. They have arrangements with a photo studio in Lawrenceville that will make copies of photos and put them on a CD for permanent storage. If you have pictures to donate but don't want to give them up on a permanent basis, they can have them copied and they will then return the pictures to you. Please include a note stating that you are giving the Historical Society permission to use the photos.
Send to the Lawrence County Historical Society, P.O. Box 425, Lawrenceville, IL. 62439 or to

Hi Laurel, I have some photos and documents that I'd like to post. Can I send them in electronically via email? I just noticed the "attach image" option on this page so thought I'd give it a try. These photos were all taken in the late 1920's to mid 1930's at the Birds school. My Dad and 3 uncles (Clarks) are in the photos along with thier cousins the Shank boys (among many others). If these come through alright I'll try to send more later.
