I'd hoped this project would have been simple. I go to a few antique and junk shops, I find photos and ephemera from Montana, I scan and post. What was I thinking? I've been searching online and found some good material that I can prove are Montana-related. But finding photos that I can be certain were taken in Montana is not so easy. There's also the additional problem of money. A photo or old postcard from, say, Florida, may run about a dollar. However, it seems that local antique shops are geared a little more towards tourists, and if I want said items from Montana, I'm looking at a minimum of five dollars. For a postcard.

So this is getting off to a slow start, which is not what I wanted, but will have to suffice until I can gather more material. If there happens to be anyone out there that may want to join this blog as a member and add their own posts, maybe someone also interested in researching the web and local shops, and being a part of A History of Montana by Kodak... The offer is wide open -- I have no opposition to making this a community blog! Also, if anyone has a couple of photos or the like that they'd like to see here, that can happen, too!

If you're interested, or even if you just have a few suggestions, I'm just an email away:
