By all means, add them to the website! You yourself can add the photos to
our photo archives by going to the following website,
<http://www.whitneygen.org/photos/photos.html>;,
and click on the link which says "Add / Modify an entry". If you send me the
other scans as e-mail attachments, I can add them and put links on the pages
<http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/bibles/index.html>; (bibles),
<http://www.whitneygen.org/newspapers.html>; (newspapers),
<http://www.whitneygen.org/land.html>; (deeds),
<http://www.whitneygen.org/probate.html>; (probate records).
I haven't figured out what to do with old letters yet. Maybe we should
start a new category for letters and other documents.
