General Notes

Note

Notes: Each Ward Book was photographed by Kevin Eberle in 2021, who sent the digital photographs to HCF Archivist Karen Emmons, along with a typed index he created and a Downtown Street Map he modified to indicate the locations of the 8 wards. Emmons converted each jpg to pdf; combined them into individual pdf "volumes"; and printed them out. See email on Media tab. Stored on CD (publications box) and MyPassport External HardDrive1; see 2021009-1_LowerWardBooks folder.
