For this collection day, current and former residents of Avondale are invited to bring up to 10 images that represent life and history in the community to be digitally scanned and preserved. Participants are welcome to bring photos of families, weddings, community events, sports, important places, people working at farms or the Army Depot, and other personal history. Museum quality image files will be provided to participants and the original photos will be returned the same day. The images collected during this session and over the coming months may become part of a future exhibit at El Pueblo History Museum.
