FHS Photo Galleries The Forest History Society is digitizing and cataloging images from its Photograph Collection in an Image Database that is searchable through our web site. Database searches return comprehensive cataloging information along with thumbnail and larger-sized photographic images. As a supplemental search mechanism, we are providing below browsing access to selected auxiliary collections and subject areas currently represented in the Image Database. Please follow the links below to view photo galleries containing sample images and associated brief cataloging information. Navigate through gallery pages by clicking on images, their labels, or the arrows near the top of each page. New galleries are added as more images are scanned and cataloged. Permission from the Forest History Society is required for any use of images.
