Historical Photos and Documents edit

The following are generally older documents I have imported into commons from a variety of sources. In most cases, I did some work on them to bring them forward, cleaning up spots, moving captions, and sometimes adding color to bring out detail. In several cases, I have combined multiple scans of the same image published in different sources in order to create a version that more closely reflects the original than any of the publications in which it was found.
