Curious about how you can help the Live Blair County project? There are many different ways you can contribute. Maybe you are viewing an image that has no caption, or has a caption you feel is inadequate. Why not leave a comment on that image's page and include a caption you feel should be included. Maybe you or someone you know has a great collection of local history. Why not contact us today to work on a plan of action to get that collection digitized and on the Website. Digitizing your collection will give you a better piece of mind knowing you have backup copies of your photos which can be put on a cd and stored elsewhere.
