- Historic Images From Carmel, Indiana’s Past Made Available Online by New Carmel Clay Historical Society Collection
25 Feb 2022 8:25 AM - Anonymous:
Thanks to a partnership between the City of Carmel and the Carmel Clay Historical Society (CCHS), hundreds of historic photos have been scanned into the historic archive and are now available to the public through the Historical Society’s website. There is no cost to view the images, but there is a nominal fee for prints.

The photos had previously been stored at City Hall, where it was difficult to provide access to the public or researchers interested in viewing the images. As of today, more than 1,200 images have been scanned and made available.

Details are available at: https://readthereporter.com/historic-images-from-carmels-past-made-available-by-new-carmel-clay-historical-society-collection/
