The images and data from 23 of the Historical Society's archival holdings will be transferred to new data management and image search software. The descriptions will then be checked, corrected and completed before the new platform is put online. From the 1890s to the 1980s, these images show the region's built heritage, families, personalities, associations, politics and municipal affairs, sport and education.
