It’s time to go on a treasure hunt
for old photos of Arlington Heights
What treasure trove of Arlington Heights’ history is tucked away in old photo albums, boxes, and drawers? The Arlington Heights Historical Society and the Daily Herald are looking for photos of the village’s past – to be collected and displayed as part of the village’s quasquicentennial (that’s 125) in 2012.
It’s time to go on a photographic treasure hunt. And then, to the best of your ability, tell us the story that goes with your photo – who’s in that picture? When was it taken? What makes it interesting?
Put it all together for a FLASHBACK125 submission.
Photos and stories can be anything in Arlington Heights - personal, growing up remembrances or documented, public buildings and events. Photos may be submitted as single units, or creatively staged as a “then and now” visual comparison.
As Arlington Heights celebrates its 125th year, photos will be printed periodically in the Daily Herald as a part of this yearlong celebration, starting with the kickoff of the celebration around Thanksgiving 2011.
Submit photos as follows:
- Sent via email to AHHMuseum@gmail.com, photos attached in jpeg format, 200 dpi maximum
- If possible, give credit to photographer or the collection
- Include a narrative, history or short memory that goes with the photo.
- Include your name, address, and phone number
All photographs submitted will become part of the Arlington Heights Historical Society’s collection and may be used, but not limited to, future displays, exhibits, publications, and publicity.
