Photographs: 1957-2004

Preserving the visual history of our community

The Washington Evening Journal Photo Archive brings together decades of images documenting the people, places, and events that have shaped our community. Our project aims to broaden the impact of Washington County's photographic history in tourism, community engagement and appreciation for the area's unique culture and customs by preserving photos produced by Washington Evening Journal photographers.
